No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 Judge Too Early
With a calm expression, Zephyr called out to Bjorn in Uprian, “Father.”

After that, he gently patted Harrietta's head and asked, “What brings you here, Hattie?”

Harrietta glanced at Bjorn and said, “Granddad brought me here.”

“Does your father know?”

Harrietta shook her head.

“How audacious! Aren't you afraid he might be a human trafficker, ready to sell you off?” Zephyr joked.

“I'm not afraid.” Harrietta looked at Bjorn intently, biting her finger and tilting her head, “Granddad doesn't look like a human trafficker.”

“You can't judge a book by its cover. Bad people won't wear labels on their faces. You mustn't be so naive in the future, understand?”

Harrietta obediently nodded.

At that moment, Bjorn glanced at Zephyr, scoffing coldly, before shifting his gaze to Harrietta.

With his deep blue eyes, he looked at Harrietta with affection. “Carol, are you really not willing to go back to Fairlake with me?”

Listening to Bjorn's gentle voice, Zephyr was taken aback for a moment. He then laughed at himself in self-mockery.

Bjorn arrived in Zosteylor with his heart filled with fury. However, upon laying eyes on his granddaughter for the first time, his anger was replaced with affection. The little girl, who bore some resemblance to his wife, stole his heart with her intelligence and charm. She was fluent in two languages, a testament to her family's lineage. There was no denying she was a child of the Wilson family.

Conversing could bring two people closer.

If Harrietta didn't understand him at all and was terrified of him, Bjorn wouldn't have been as fond of her as he was.

As a matter of fact, it was unclear who Isla took after. Neither her looks nor her intelligence bore any resemblance to Bjorn or Meredith.

Bjorn and Meredith were both graduates of prestigious schools from decades ago. Most of their classmates were engaged in scientific research and had long since become professors or academy members. There were also a few who had entered politics and held high-ranking, lucrative positions.

Even when Caesare was stranded abroad under such challenging circumstances, he still did well. Perhaps there has been a genetic mutation in Isla. However, no matter what, she's still my daughter, who is now suffering in prison. Bjorn cast a cold glance at Zephyr, his gaze carrying a hint of warning.

“I'm sorry, Granddad.” Harrietta shook her head, responding in Uprian, “I can't leave with you. If you miss me, you're always welcome to visit me in Jacaster.”

Harrietta could still discern who treated her well and who didn't.

Bjorn seemed to truly adore her. She had only followed him there but didn't want to leave Lenora and Zachary.

“Your mother, your uncle, your granny, and I will all love you dearly.”

“My father also loves me. Even before he knew I was his daughter, he treated me exceptionally well.”

Bjorn simply couldn't stand Zachary.

A few years ago, he was the cause of his daughter's unwed pregnancy and her having to raise her child alone. At that moment, he had led her astray once again, causing her to commit illegal acts for his sake. At that moment, she was suffering in the detention center because of him.

Had he not learned from Matthew that Zachary had transferred a portion of his shares to Harrietta, demonstrating some sincerity, he would've caused Zachary trouble.

Bjorn felt he had already shown kindness toward the Fuller family by not holding any grudges. However, he was unwilling to hand over the custody of his granddaughter. Hence, he pointed at Zephyr and asked Harrietta, “What do you think of your uncle?”

Harrietta tilted her head back to look at Zephyr.

Zephyr also lowered his gaze to look at her. Seeing the clarity in her eyes, he knew she hadn't understood the implications of Bjorn's words.

“Uncle Zephyr is really great,” Harrietta answered. He's handsome and wealthy. He's not crazy like Ms. Isla.

“How about letting your uncle step in as your father?” Bjorn suggested.

It wasn't that they feared the scandal of a pregnancy before marriage tarnishing their daughter's reputation. Rather, they sought someone who could replace Zachary in Harrietta's heart. Zephyr was the ideal choice.
