The sound of footsteps echoed from behind, growing more and more distant until they faded into nothingness. 

Lenora closed her eyes, took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and silently stepped into the elevator.

Zachary had professed his love for her countless times. She was no longer sure whether he was deceiving her or telling the truth. 

However, it didn’t matter anymore. 

She glanced at her reflection in the elevator wall, and at some point, unnoticed, her eyes had started to redden. 

He must have done it on purpose. 

Before he left, he said those words to make me soften my heart. 

Well, I simply won’t. 

Lenora stood silently in the.elevator. 

She didn’t know how much time had passed before she snapped back to reality, realizing that this elevator ride was taking a bit longer than usual. 

Glancing up, she realized the elevator was still on the first floor. She had forgotten to press the button for her floor. 

I can’t believe it! 

Lenora pressed the button for her floor. 

Upon returning home, she first took off her down jacket and hung it on the coat rack, then changed inta her indoor slippers. 

Harrietta was still awake, sitting on the couch engrossed in an animated film. When she saw Lenora return, she stared at her blankly. “Aunt Lenora, you’re so beautiful!” 

Lenora walked over, then bent down to pinch her cheek. “Have you washed up?” 

“Mm–hmm!” Harrietta nodded. 

“Then it’s time for bed now. Go wait for me in the bed. I’ll be there shortly.” 

“Okay.” 

Harrietta obediently put down the tablet and slipped into bed wearing her pajamas. 

After removing her makeup, Lenora took a bath and dried her hair. She then sat on the bed, pulled back the covers, and checked her phone. She saw a message from Connor that he had sent at some point: Ms Wilkin, I’m home. 

Lenora responded with an emoji, put down her phone, and lay down. 

Harrietta leaned against her and said, “Aunt Lenora, you look really beautiful today. You and Uncle

Lenora asked earnestly, “Hattie, do you like me for who I am, or is it because of your affection for your uncle that you’ve grown fond of me as well?” 

“Of course I like you for who you are!” Harrietta replied, her expression full of mirth. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you to be my aunt.” 

“Since you like me for who I am, then stop bringing up your uncle again. There’s no chance for us, and if you mention him again, I’ll grow to resent both you and your uncle. Do you understand?” 

The smile on Harrietta’s face froze as confusion, worry, and fear consumed her. She cautiously asked, “Do you hate Uncle Zachary that much?” 

“Yes, I hate him very much.” 

Harrietta clung to her arm and said softly, “Then… I won’t mention Uncle Zachary anymore…” 

Uncle Zachary is really useless. 

Is he really going to let go of Aunt Lenora and hand her over to that skinny guy? 

How could he ever be worthy of Aunt Lenora? 

“Good girl!” Lenora patted Harrietta’s head affectionately. 

On Monday morning, Lenora dropped Harrietta back at Galaxy Bay. 

She didn’t even step through the door, leaving Harrietta alone to carry the bag of clothes inside. 

Upon entering the living room, Harrietta tossed the bag onto the table and slumped onto the couch. “Ms. Miranda, is Uncle Zachary home?” 

“Mr. Fuller didn’t return home last night.” 

Harrietta kicked the table in irritation. 

Where did Uncle Zachary go? 

Did he mess something up yesterday? 

He’s so useless. 

She went to the refrigerator to grab a Coke. Settling down on the couch, she sipped her drink while dialing Zachary’s number on her wristwatch. 

The ringing echoed on for quite some time. 

Just as the call was about to end automatically, the man finally picked up. 

“Hmm? Hattie?” The man’s voice was hoarse, his words slurred as if he had just woken up. 

“Uncle Zachary, wake up! Where are you now?” Harrietta raised her voice. 

Zachary seemed to have sobered up a bit. He didn’t reveal his whereabouts and simply stated, “I’m heading home now.”

Roughly twenty minutes later, his car pulled into the courtyard. 

He leaned back against the seat, rubbed his brow, then got out of the car and walked into the living room. 

He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It was all crumpled up. His hair was a bit disheveled, and a strong scent of alcohol lingered around him. 

Harrietta stepped back, waving her hand before her nose. “Uncle Zachary, did you fall into a vat of wine?” 

“I’m going to take a shower and change my clothes first. We can discuss any matters later.” 

Zachary headed straight up to the second floor. 

Harrietta watched his retreating figure and shrugged helplessly. 

Do I even need to guess? 

He must have had a quarrel with Aunt Lenora last night and went off to drown his sorrows in drink alone. 

After changing his clothes, Zachary descended the stairs while drying his hair with a towel. He took a seat next to Harrietta and asked, “Did Aunt Lenora drop you off?” 

Harrietta nodded. “Yeah, Uncle Zachary, did you have a fight with Aunt Lenora yesterday?” 

Zachary stopped drying his hair and lowered his gaze. After a moment, he asked, “Did she say anything to you?” 

“She said that if I mention you in front of her again, she’ll start hating both you and me.” 

“Then you should stop mentioning me in front of her. I told you, no matter what the adults do, it has nothing to do with you. If you like Aunt Lenora, just continue to like her.”
