Chapter 402 A Playboy
“No…. I don’t want this. I don’t want you to leave.” Harrietta’s eyes were swollen and red as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Why do you suddenly want to go abroad, Aunt Lenora? Did Uncle Zachary upset you? I’ll go see him!”
She attempted to jump off the couch, but Lenora stopped her and said. “Hattie, it’s impossible for him and me to be together.
“Why?” Harrietta gazed at Lenora with wide, innocent eyes because she saw the relationship between Lenora and Zachary seemed to have improved significantly.
Lenora lowered her gaze. “It’s a long story. You’ll understand when you’re older.”
Harrietta would still need Zachary’s support in the future, so Lenora didn’t want to speak ill of Zachary in front of Harrietta, as could potentially ignite Harrietta’s hatred toward Zachary
Back then, Zachary’s decision to keep Harrietta was partly because of her. He wanted to use the child to hold onto her, aiming to win their wager.
After all the cards had been laid on the table, Lenora had no idea how Zachary would react to Harrietta.
Zachary had already achieved his goal, but Lenora hoped he wouldn’t abandon Harrietta.
With a woothing tote Lenora gently consoled Harriet After much effort, she finally managed to calm the girl down. However, Harrietta’s eyes were still mot, and she looked at Lenora aggrievedly.
Lenora hooked up and asked Miranda. “Has he been back these past few days**
Miranda had long motiond that there were issues between Lenora and Zachary. She felt a deep sense of regret but knew she couldn’t interfere. “A few days ago, he had his belongings moved out. He even asked Hattie if she wanted to move out with him. Hattie chose to stay. The day before yesterday, he came over for lunch and spent some time playing with Hattie.”
With some reluctance, Lenora relased knowing that Zachary hadn’t abandoned Harrietta.
However, Harrietta stayed there because of her since she was leaving, there was no point for Harrietta to
remain
She had two choices. Either she had Harrietta move in with Zachary or relocate to the Fuller residence.
Lenora asked. “Hattie, after I leave, would you like to say with Uncle Zachary of Great–grandma?”
“I want to live with you, Aunt Lenora” Harrietta said.
There is no such option.”
With a pout, Harrietta grumbled unhappily. “With Und Zachary”
She was still very dependent on Zachary
Listen to him, then. If he has a new wife, don’t compare her to me, and don’t bring me up.” advised Lenora

She thought that if Harrietta behaved herself, Susanna wouldn’t feel the need to make things difficult for the girl. However, if Harrietta were to show a greater fondness for Lenora, things might not be so simple.
If Susanna had no grudges against her, she would not have encouraged Harrietta to try getting along with the former. However, given her relationship with Susanna, Lenora felt it necessary to give Harrietta a heads–up.
“Uncle Zachary is getting a new wife?” Harrietta sobbed. “Uncle Zachary is a playboy…” Aunt Lenora is such a nice person! The problem must be with Uncle Zachary. He’s a womanizer!
Just then, the sound of a door opening echoed from outside.
Lenora looked up and saw Zachary standing at the doorway.
Her fingers twitched slightly, though she remained calm.
Zachary’s gaze swept over Lenora, as if looking at a stranger, then casually shut the door,
Then, he turned to Harrietta, frowning. He strode over, promptly lifting Harrietta from Lenora’s embrace. “Hattie, why are you crying?”
Harrietta sobbed, “I don’t want a new aunt, Uncle Zachary. If Aunt Lenora is leaving, could you talk to her and ask her to stay, please?”
Zachary paused, casting a cold glance at Lenora. He spoke seriously. “Hattie, this is a matter between adults. You shouldn’t interfere. Your new aunt is a gentle and kind person. You’ll surely grow to like her.”
