It was around eleven o'clock when Zachary finally made it home. They sat down for lunch together in the house, eating in silence, both seemingly lost in their thoughts.

Shortly after, the driver arrived and took them to the airport. Their secretaries were already there, waiting for them. On this trip, Zachary had brought along four secretaries. Apart from Miles, the other three had no idea about the nature of Lenora's relationship with Zachary,

Maybe someone had hinted at it, though, because when they greeted Lenora, there wasn't even a flicker of surprise on their faces. Their demeanor was calm and professional, treating her like any other colleague on a business trip. Once they had checked in, the group made their way to the VIP lounge to wait for their flight. Zachary immediately settled down on one of the plush couches, and a staff member promptly brought him a cup

of coffee.

Lenora, however, chose a seat facing the large floor-to-ceiling windows, where she could watch several planes parked outside. It was an oddly calming sight.

She glanced over at Zachary, who was already engrossed in a finance magazine. Around them, other passengers passed the time quietly-some reading, others working on their phones. The entire lounge had a serene, almost soothing atmosphere. Suddenly, Lenora's phone vibrated. She quickly picked it up, only to catch Zachary's glance. Offering him, an awkward smile, she hurriedly switched the phone to silent mode.

It was a message from Jonas on WhatsApp: Do you have any plans for the holiday?

Lenora: Yeah, I'm at the airport right now.

Jonas: Where are you going?

Lenora: Navarre.

Jonas: How long are you staying?

Lenora: About a week.

Jonas: Man, I'm jealous! We only get a three-day break, and I've got to head right back to filming. Couldn't even relat during the break-had to attend promotional events the whole time.

Lenora: Wow, you really had it rough.

They chatted for a bit, with Jonas eventually asking: How's it going with your boyfriend? Last time, you mentioned things were shaky.

Lenora glanced up at Zachary before typing back: We're okay, I guess. We haven't broken up yet, but I'm still figuring things out.

Just then, a shadow loomed over Zachary. "Mr. Fuller! What a coincidence, where are you off to?" a voice

called out.

Lenora looked up to see a middle-aged man dressed in a sharp suit and polished leather shoes. His face hinted at the handsomeness he must have had in his younger years. Zachary closed his magazine and stood to shake hands with him. "I'm off to Navarre, Zachary replied, keeping his tone polite.

"What a coincidence," the man said with a smile. "I'm headed there too for a bit of business."

Turning to Lenora, the man's expression softened. "This must be Ms. Wilkin, right?" he asked.

Lenora nodded, her curiosity piqued. "And you are?"

"My last name is Carston," the man said, lingering a bit too long with his gaze. "Susanna's my daughter."

Lenora raised her eyebrows in mild surprise but kept her composure. "Ah, so you're Mr. Carston. Pardon me for not recognizing you sooner.

"Don't mention it," Kenneth said, waving it off as if it were nothing.

The conversation between Kenneth and Zachary continued briefly, but Lenora noticed Kenneth's eyes kept drifting back to her. It unsettled her, making her wonder if it was because of Susanna.

Is Kenneth already plotting how to deal with her?

Soon, the boarding call for their flight came. They made their way onto the plane and settled into their first-class seats. Lenora took the window seat, and Zachary sat beside her. Kenneth was nearby, too, giving Lenora the occasional glance, which only deepened her suspicion.

After several hours in the air, they finally landed in New York. Kenneth bid them farewell with a few parting pleasantries. As he walked away, Lenora leaned in toward Zachary, her voice low, "Do you think he's here to keep an eye on us?" Lenora found Kenneth's behavior rather peculiar, but Zachary didn't seem concerned. "Don't waste your energy worrying about him."

The secretaries collected their luggage, and the overseas branch company had already arranged a car to drive Zachary and Lenora to their accommodations. As they drove through the city, Lenora finally asked, "Aren't we staying at a hotel?" "We're staying here," Zachary replied, motioning toward a mansion they were approaching. "The secretaries will stay at the hotel."

The mansion was located in a quiet district, filled with charming, standalone Western-style houses. The landscaping was meticulously done, and the whole area exuded an air of luxury. Lenora stared at the beautiful mansion in awe. "You like it?" Zachary asked, noticing the way her eyes lingered on the mansion.

It's beautiful," Lenora admitted, still somewhat in disbelief.

Zachary smiled, "If you like it, you can come here anytime.

"Mm... Huh?" Lenora blinked, caught off guard.

Her response prompted Zachary to raise an eyebrow. "What, you don't want to come?" "Wait, did you buy this place?"

"Yeah, I come here often for work. Hotels aren't always the best option," Zachary explained. Lenora nodded, then asked softly. "Do you stay here every time you come to visit Ms. Carston?" Zachary's face froze for a moment before he grabbed her hand. "I stay here. She's never been." "Why're you so quick to explain?"

At this, Zachary was at a loss for words.

Lenora's smile grew even brighter. "So, you wouldn't even let Ms. Carston in when she came looking for you?" she teased.

Zachary fell silent, shifting the topic. "Let's unpack."

As they settled into the villa, Lenora couldn't help but think about how, in the past, just hearing Susanna's name would have brought her pain. But now, it barely affected her, even allowing her to joke about it

Later, Lenora came downstairs after exploring the mansion to replace Zachary sitting on a single-seater couch, meticulously peeling an apple. The peel didn't break once, and when he finished, he handed it to

her.

"Try it," he said.

Lenora took a bite. "It's good," she said with a grin.

"If you like it, have more," he replied, offering it back to her.

Lenora chuckled and handed the apple back to him. "No, thanks. You can have the rest," she said, before making her way toward the housekeeper to offer her help with tidying up.

She noticed the bedroom had already been cleaned to perfection. The bedding was neatly arranged and had clearly been aired out in preparation for their arrival. It was ready for use, and Lenora, ever the organizer, had already packed their clothes into the wardrobe with

ease.

They hadn't brought much with them on the trip, but it wasn't long before the secretary arrived with some daily necessities that had been sourced locally.

Once they were settled in, the housekeeper prepared lunch for them..

It was a modest meal, and though the Clusian cuisine she made was decent, it was nothing extraordinary. Lenora couldn't help but notice the subtle difference in flavors, likely due to being abroad.

It wasn't the rich, authentic taste she was used to back home, but still, it was good enough for the moment. Besides, they couldn't eat Western food for every meal while they were here.

Given the situation, Lenora made up her mind that during their stay in Navarre, she would cook their meals herself as much as possible. It seemed more practical and definitely more enjoyable than relying on

others.

The flight from Jacaster to New York had been long and exhausting, even though they had flown in first. class. With a layover included, the journey took more than twenty hours, and despite the luxury of their seats, being on a plane for that long was never entirely comfortable.

After lunch, the two of them decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood to get a feel for the area. As they walked, they ran into several fellow Clusian residents on the street. There was a friendly exchange of nods and brief greetings as they passed each other. Lenora noticed that many of the storefronts had signs in both Uprian and Clusian, a clear indication that this part of the city had a strong Clusian community.

While they were walking, Zachary's phone rang. It was his secretary, reminding him that he needed to make a stop by the branch company.

Lenora, feeling the fatigue of the journey catching up with her, decided to head back to the mansion for a nap. By the time she woke up, the sky outside was already darkening into evening.

Unlocking her phone, she found a message from Zachary waiting for her: Are you awake? If you are, let me know. I'll send someone to pick you up. We'll have dinner out.

Lenora read the message, then quickly typed out her reply. After that, she got up, stretched, and changed. into something more appropriate for the local weather.

It wasn't long before the car arrived, with one of Zachary's secretaries ready to pick her up.

Zachary's mansion wasn't far from the heart of the city, so it only took about half an hour to reach their destination.

As Lenora sat in the car, she gazed out the window, watching the city pass by in a blur. Her mind wandered, lost in thought.

She knew that the Fuller family had established a branch of their business here in Navarre, a growing enterprise that had steadily gained influence on Walund Street.

Zachary had made quite an impression early on, especially when he delivered a powerful Uprian speech that had set the internet on fire back in their home country. It had been a defining moment in his career.

At that time, Lenora had been just eighteen or nineteen years old. Like many girls her age, she had been wrapped up in the fantasy of romance, watching countless dramas filled with both warmth and heartbreak.

Now, however, things had changed. Lenora was twenty-five, and they had been married for three years. What had once felt like a storybook romance was now in a fragile state. Their relationship was facing a crisis, and Lenora wasn't sure what the future held for them.
