Lenora clenched the fist by her side slightly.

It was as if Johanne could read her thoughts. "Don't worry," he assured her, "Grandpa is not an unreasonable man. He wants nothing more than your Happiness, and I will help persuade him..." 45 Free Coins

"I..." Lenora was about to say something when footsteps echoed from behind, accompanied by Zachary's voice. "Nora? Why haven't you come back? Johanne, you're here too?" Johanne gave Zachary a smile. "I was just chatting with Nora."

Johanne had a warm and genial personality. When Lenora lived in the Fuller residence, her relationship with Johanne actually improved.

Zachary didn't suspect anything. He simply said to Lenora. "I noticed you didn't eat much earlier. Let's go. back and have some more."

"Okay," Lenora responded indifferently.

Johanne's gaze lingered on them for a couple of seconds before he spoke up. "I should get going too Otherwise, Mallory might suspect that I'm out smoking again."

Upon seeing the cigarette butt on the ground, Zachary lifted the corner of his mouth into a slight smirk.

Johanne whispered, "Don't tell her."

Zachary raised an eyebrow as he said, "You smell like smoke."

Johanne paused in his tracks, lifted his arm, and sniffed his shoulder before saying helplessly, "I'll take a walk outside before I come back."

After lunch, two cars departed from the Fuller residence and stopped at the foot of the hill where the

cemetery was.

From the moment they set off for the cemetery, Zachary had become significantly quieter.

In the past, it was the same.

Lenora had found it quite odd before. Zachary had grown up by his grandfather's side, and his father had passed away early. His bond with his father wasn't deep, and after more than a decade, she figured that he shouldn't be missing his father that much. After she heard what Johanne said, it all made sense to her.

When they arrived, Johanne lit a candle as they paid their respects.

"Dad, Mom, Mallory and I brought Ryan to visit you. Ryan, great your grandpa and grandma."

father. Whether this was due to a lack of emotion or a deliberate choice in the presence of Johanne, no one knew.

Lenora looked at the silent Zachary, a wave of mixed emotions welling up within her.

Once they had paid their respects, they drove back to the city.

"Are we heading home or to the Fuller residence? Zachary's hands were on the steering wheel, his eyes focused on the road ahead. "Let's go back to the Fuller residence. It's rare that we have some time. I want to spend it with Grandma and Grandpa," Lenora said. "Alright, I have some things to take care of. I'll drop you off and pick you up in the evening."

"Alright."

After dropping Lenora off at the Fuller residence, Zachary promptly drove away.

By the time Zachary finished his work and arrived at the Fuller residence, it was already past eight.

The frail Gerald was already preparing to rest,

The interview he had that afternoon was with a television station.

The interview questions were discussed with him beforehand by the host, primarily focusing on financial matters. Toward the end, there were a few questions about Zachary's personal life, which served as his response to recent public opinion. Previously, he chose not to go public. On one hand, it was due to Susanna's career, and on the other, he simply disliked others prying into his personal life. He saw no need to explain anything to the online community.

These were two reasons. One pertained to Susanna, while the other concerned himself.

However, by doing so, he disregarded Lenora's feelings

And now, he chose to give an interview for one reason only-he didn't want Lenora to shoulder any more

blame.

She should have been able to stand by his side, openly and proudly.

After he said those words in front of the camera, the inexplicable tension within him eased up, making him feel significantly at ease.

After the dinner had ended, he rushed back without delay to see her. On his way, he passed by a jewelry store where a necklace suddenly caught his attention.

With a serene expression, Lenora opened the box. Inside was a platinum necklace, its design perfectly. complementing her demeanor, one of understated luxury.

"Thanks." Lenora's expression didn't reveal much surprise as she closed the lid and placed it on the dashboard.

Zachary slightly furrowed his brows.

Doesn't she like it?

"Do you have to work late tonight?" Lenora suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you."

"Can't we talk about it now?"

Lenora glanced at the traffic ahead. "Let's talk about it when we get back."

She feared a tragedy similar to that of Ronald and his wife might occur.

Upon returning to Galaxy Bay, Zachary placed the car keys on the table, removed his coat, and hung it on the rack. He poured a glass of water for both himself and Lenora, then asked, "What did you want to discuss with me?" "Zachary, let's get a divorce," Lenora said caliger

Upon hearing those words, Zachary froze on the spot. As he poured water, he looked incredulously at Lenora. "What did you say?"

The cup was already filled to the brim, yet he remained oblivious.

"I said, let's get a divorce." Lenora looked into Zachary's eyes, repeating herself once more.

In that moment, Zachary felt a sudden jolt within his heart.

He stared at Lenora, his eyes revealing an unmistakable shock that he couldn't hide. He even forgot he was pouring water, letting the overflowing liquid scald his fingers until they turned red and soaking his sleeves in the process. Lenora looked at him in silence, then continued, "We'll keep the divorce a secreLfrom Grandpa for as long

as we can."

Zachary looked at Lenora, remaining silent.

"Goodness, Mr. Fuller, why are you spilling water?" Miranda emerged from her room, catching sight of Zachary pouring water onto the floor. She quickly took the cup and kettle from his hands. "You didn't scald yourself, did you? Let me fetch you some ointment." "No need! You can leave!" Zachary suddenly spoke, his voice chillingly cold.

Miranda, startled, quickly realized Zachary's state of anger. Without uttering another word, she hurriedly retreated to her room.

She hadn't forgotten that Lenora was pregnant. Before returning to her room, she advised, "Mr. Fuller, if there's anything you want to say, please discuss it calmly. Please don't get physical."

Once Miranda had closed her room door, Zachary turned to Lenora, his eyes darkening as he asked. "Where is this coming from? Why are you suddenly talking about divorce?"

"Weren't we already planning on getting a divorce? There's no point in forcing ourselves to go on any longer."

"You don't get to decide whether there's a point in it or not!"

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. I've already made up my mind!"

"I disagree!"

"I remember that Grandpa said that after he passes, we could still divorce if we still wanted it. Grandma won't stand in our way. You agreed to this. What's the point in dragging this out now?"

The last time Gerald was hospitalized, it caught Lenora off guard. She could read between the lines of the doctor's words-Gerald didn't have much time left.

Over the recent period, she had gradually come to terms with the reality, accepting the fact that Gerald would leave her soon.

Taking the latter's feelings into consideration. Leonora only dared to suggest divorce in private.

Once Gerald and passed on, she planned to.....

away to live separately. She contemplated filing a lawsuit or simply disappearing so he couldn't replace her. Even if he resisted the divorce, all he could hold onto was the hollow shell of their marriage. There was no way to return to the past or the everyday interactions of normal couple.

"Then tell me, why do you suddenly want a divorce? Is it because of the recent scandal? I have already- He had clarified during the interview and had them rush the editing. The interview video would be released by tomorrow, and no one would be able to criticize her anymore..

"No!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Lenora interrupted him) "If you insist on a reason, it's simply that I don't like you!"

Zachary stared at her intently, questioning, "So, who is it that you fancy? Is it Jonas?"

Before Lenora could respond, he suddenly lunged forward, pressing her into the couch. His large hands restrained her wrists, his eyes burning with a fiery red intensity. In a low growl, he roared, "Do you really love him that much?"

Lenora was struggling, her body twisting. "Zachary, let me go!"

Instead, Zachary held her even tighter, trapping her legs. His free hand slipped under her clothes, roaming around her stomach, caressing her soft skin.

A chill ran through Lenora's body, and she didn't dare to struggle anymore.

threes of his anger, Zachary failed to notice Lenora's odd behavior. With a hoarse voice, he asked.
