"I'll try." Zachary said.

"What's wrong with Ms. Carston?" Lenora asked, gathering her courage.

She had a premonition deep in her heart that once Zachary left, he wouldn't return, just like yesterday.

What could be the reason Susanna called him away? This has been going on for two days.

Zachary turned to look at her, frowning slightly "Lenora, you wouldn't have asked so many questions before."

Lenora's face turned pale. "My foot hurts a lot. Could you-"

"Your foot injury isn't serious. If you need anything, just call Miranda."

Zachary's tone was cold, and without looking back, he left.

Looking at his retreating figure, Lenora felt an extreme bitterness in her heart.

She rarely let down her tough exterior and revealed a hint of vulnerability, yet he had accused her of being meddlesome.

When someone is not interested in you, showing your vulnerability won't make any difference.

They were already on the verge of divorce. What right did she have to interfere?

She had been confused. When Zachary applied the medicine for her, she had lost herself completely.

Once again, she had brought shame upon herself.

What Lenora hadn't expected was that when Zachary left, he didn't just leave for one night. He didn't return the next day, not even by the evening.

She was restless, sitting on the bed until late into the night, mindlessly scrolling through her phone until she could no longer resist and fell asleep. She left a lamp lit by her bedside. When she woke up in the morning, the sheets beside her were neat and tidy, showing not signs of anyone having been there.

Lenora lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and let out a long sigh.

Why bother?

Since we're getting a divorce, why hold on to such hope?

However, he was the man she had adored for ten years, the man she had shared a bed with as husband and wife for three years. How could she possibly let go willingly? Perhaps when Zachary continued to disappoint her, eroding all her love for him, she would no longer hold onto hope.

Lenora lay in bed for a while, then struggled to get up and freshen up.

It was Sunday, and tomorrow, which was Monday, was the day she and Zachary had agreed to pick up their divorce papers.

Once they received their divorce certificate, their relationship would be completely and utterly over.

They still had to live together but without the constraints of marriage.

No matter how close he was with Susanna, she no longer had any say in the matter. All she could do was watch helplessly as her husband became another woman's man. Days like these were likely to be even harder to endure.

Lenora didn't want to live this kind of life, nor did she want to become a resentful woman.

She walked onto the balcony with the support of her cane and settled down in the rocking chair to bask in the sunlight.

A notification sound from WhatsApp came from the phone nearby right then.

Lenora picked up the phone. It was a message from Jonas.

FatCat: Didn't you say you were going to visit my house in a couple of days? It's already the weekend Why haven't you come yet?

Only then did Lenora remember the promise she had made to Jonas a few days ago. She quickly replied to the message.

Hot NCold: I'm sorry. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. Please apologize to your parents on my behalf. When I have time in the future, I will definitely go visit them.

FatCat: What's wrong? Have you been too busy with work? I haven't seen you at the studio these past few days.

Hot NCold: It's a long story. I haven't been to the studio these past few days because the last time I went,

I got hit by a rack and sprained my foot. I'm still lying at home right now....

Jonas was silent for a moment, and then suddenly a video call came through.

Lenora answered the call, and Jonas' handsome face appeared on the screen. He looked worriedly at the phone screen and asked, "How are you? Is it serious? Have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say?" Lenora reassured him, "Don't worry. I went to the hospital right away. The doctor said it's not serious. A few days of rest at home will do."

As she spoke, Lenora switched her front-facing camera to the rear one, showing Jonas her bandaged right ankle. The swelling was clearly visible and quite pronounced.

"It's not serious? How did it end up like this?"

"Maybe I'm just unlucky. Things have been going against me lately," Lenora said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm off for a few days, and my mom is planning to visit the church. How about I ask her to get a rosary for you?"

"That's great!" Lenora switched the camera back to the front-facing mode.

"Hey, where are you staying? Since you can't come over, how about I come to see you? What would you like to eat? I can bring some along. Would that be convenient?" Jonas said, seemingly without any particular intention.

Lenora and Jonas were childhood playmates, but they had only formally reunited last year. Due to Jonas' demanding job, they rarely had the chance to meet privately. Most of their encounters were arranged outside for meals, or Lenora would visit Jonas' parents at his home. Jonas was unaware of Lenora's circumstances, only knowing that she had been adopted by the Fuller family.

Since Jonas had suggested coming over to see her, Lenora naturally wouldn't refuse, especially since Zachary was not at home.

She agreed with a smile, "All right, you can come over. I live in Galaxy Bay. Let me know when you reach the gate. Oh, and when you come, could you get the duck confit from that place on Hill Road, and the Black Forest cake from the bakery on the first floor of Glory Plaza?"

"These two places are not on the way..."

"Could you please go out of your way for me? If you're coming to see me, you should at least show some sincerity."

"All right, all right, I'm on my way." Jonas replied with an indulgent smile, his tone laced with

affection.

When Jonas arrived, it was already nearing noon.

The security guard specifically made a video call to confirm, only then did he let Jonas into the residential area.

At this moment, with the help of Miranda, Lenora had already made her way from the. second floor to the first and was sitting in the living room.

Jonas found the location of the mansion based on the house number given by Lenora.

As he walked in from outside, he commented, "The property prices here must be pretty. steep, right?"

Lenora chuckled and said, "You're a big star. Are you really short on money?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Well, not really. I just want to see how the Fuller family treats you. If they don't treat you well, I might as well just take you in and have you live at my place." Jonas said, half-jokingly. half-seriously.

Just then, the housekeeper emerged from the kitchen and asked, "Miss, what would you two like to have for lunch today?"

Lenora had specifically asked Miranda to address her that.

She was about to divorce Zachary. This obscure chapter of her life was unknown to her friends, and at this point, there was no need to let him know.

After the divorce, the mansion would be under Lenora's name. Inviting Jonas over was no issue.

Lenora listed a few of her favorite dishes, then turned to Jonas and said, "Tell Miranda what you like to eat. Her cooking skills are top-notch. She can make anything."

"Well then, I won't hold back." Jonas also named a few dishes he liked.

Miranda went back into the kitchen. Lenora said to Jonas, "Bring out the Black Forest cake you bought for me. I want to eat it now."

"All right

This time, Jonas had brought quite a few gifts. He went outside to the trunk of his car and had to make two trips to bring everything in. The items weren't anything rare or extraordinary. They were simply tokens of affection from Jonas' parents. Lenora pointed to one side of the living room and said, "Just leave everything here. After we

finish eating, we'll have Miranda clean it up."

While nodding, Jonas took the duck confit in his hands to the kitchen.

During lunch, the two of them chatted and laughed, reminiscing about their childhood. They couldn't help but burst into laughter, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

It was past one in the afternoon when Jonas drove off.
