When Michael pushed open the door to the private room, seeing only Zachary inside, he began to s something.

He closed the door behind him, pausing before the tea table. His gaze fell on the now-empty bottle of wine, and he asked, "Did you have a fight with Lenora?

Zachary fell silent, absent-mindedly filling his wine glass to the brim before downing it in one gulp.

Seeing him about to pour more wine, Michael swiftly took the wine bottle away.

Zachary was a beat late in his reaction, only belatedly turning to look at Michael. He reached out his hand. "Hand me the wine!"

"You called me here just to watch you drink? I'm not interested in that. If you want to keep drinking. I'll leave right now."

his knee Zachary's body jolted abruptly, his hand that was mid-air suddenly lost strength, slapping onto with a smack. He slumped onto the couch as if all his bones had been drained out, leaving him powerless.

His eyes were half-lowered, concealing the true emotions that lurked within them. The dark circles under his lashes were a clear testament to his recent distress and weariness.

"She wants a divorce from me," Zachary blurted out unexpectedly, yet Michael understood.

He set the wine boule aside and sat down across from Zachary, his face devoid of any surprise. He let out a sigh and said, "Just as expected."

Suddenly, Zachary looked up.

"The last time we gathered, when you insisted that Charles apologize to Lenora, the only ones truly engrossed in the situation were you and Charles. Back then, Lenora's gaze was calm, indifferent, as if it didn't matter either way." Zachary paused, closing his eyes as he strived to recall Lenora's reaction.

However, he just couldn't seem to recall.

"You often mention how understanding and compliant Lenora is. Her accommodating nature often leads her to put others before herself. However, once she decides to resist, it signifies her utter disappointment, making it extremely difficult for her to change her mind again."

Zachary remained silent for a long while, then opened his eyes to look at Michael. "Why didn't you warn

me sooner?"

Michael chuckled. "I warned you once. A long time ago. I told you not to show any softness toward women Nother than your wife, Zachary. Others might not understand you, but I do. The way you looked at Lenora

back then, you already had feelings for her."

So, had he started to like Lenora that early on!

And so, after he proposed divorce to Lenora, he still claimed that they remained siblings to each other.

"Hel"

Looking back, it was utterly absurd. Who ever heard of divorced couple becoming siblings?

He was just subconsciously reluctant to leave Lenora,

So, after Lenora readily agreed to the divorce, he found himself feeling unexpectedly unhappy.

Hence, when Lenora expressed her desire to resign and go abroad with Jonas, he vehemently opposed. He racked his brains trying to persuade Lenora to reconsider as if he was genuinely looking out for her like an older brother would for his sister. In reality, it was just his personal desires playing tricks on him.

So, when they were on their way to City Hall to get a divorce, he knew full well that he had left the documents on the table in the hospital room. However, he didn't say a word, hoping to buy some time by delaying the process.

So, after he proposed the divorce, it should have been a simple matter of just going to City Hall to get a divorce certificate. Yet, for some reason, the divorce was still not finalized after such a long delay.

In reality, deep down, he didn't want a divorce at all.

Thus, despite Susanna's several subtle advances, he acted as if he saw nothing, remaining unaffected. In his heart, he found excuses, fearful that his own child would share his fate of being born out of wedlock.

In reality, he had instinctively left some room for himself and Lenora. If they truly took that step, there would be absolutely no turning back.

Looking back now, his twisted and contradictory actions finally had an explanation.

But why had he only realized it now?

"Those involved are often blinded, while outsiders see things clearly. In your past relationship with Susanna, it was she who pursued you, and even more so, it was her who accommodated you. The impression you gave me was that this romance was optional to you. I didn't expect Susanna to come back, let alone that you would get involved with her again after her return. I thought you would understand that the only person who owes Susanna anything is you. Lepora doesn't owe Susanna anything. You shouldn't make Lenora suffer to compensate Susanna, nor should you make Lenora join you in paying back."

Listening to Michael's words, Zachary found himself in a daze for a moment. He gave a foolish smile and said, "Why is it that I'm only just understanding such a simple concept now?"

He recalled that time when he was in bed with Lenora, lost in passion. He received a call from Susanna's agent saying that Susanna had disappeared, he was determined to leave. Lenora tried repeatedly to make him stay, but he still left.

Back then, he was still fuming, accusing her of having not an ounce of empathy.

Looking back now, the impact of those words was truly devastating.

Why would Lenora feel sympathy for someone who wrecked her marriage?

If someone were to inform him now that Jonas had disappeared, he would only applaud and cheer.

"Actually, even if you feel indebted to Susanna, you shouldn't overindulge her. After that incident years. ago, everyone was blaming you, but they all forgot that you and Susanna were both adults. You weren't her guardian. It was her decision to leave school late at night, and her kidnapping was the result of the kidnapper's evil greed, which had nothing to do with you. Calling the police at that time was the best choice. Otherwise, you alone might not have been able to save her, and you could have even put yourself in danger. I know you feel guilty, which is why you've been trying to make it up to Susanna. Making amends isn't unconditional, would you still obey her if she asked you to break the law? Promises aren't limitless either. After you have a child with Lenora and she returns to the country wanting to reunite, would you still agree to be with her?"

"It all boils down to this, Susanna is an adult. When she chose to go abroad, she essentially gave up on your promise. She needs to take responsibility for her actions. Just like how you can usually let Johanne take the lead, the position of Fuller Group's CEO was given to you by Old Mr. Fuller because he saw your capabilities. It's not that he's inferior to you, and you shouldn't feel guilty about taking what could have been his. Even without you, there's your Uncle Nathan, your cousin. The CEO position at Fuller Group wouldn't necessarily be his."

"I've said all there is to say. Don't go against your own feelings. Take some time to really figure out what in is that you want. I believe you're capable of making the right choice."

Zachary closed his eyes, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

Regarding the matter of Susanna, among those who knew, apart from his grandmother, Michael was the only one who claimed it had nothing to do with him.

He still remembered the counselor asking, "She ran away, but why didn't you go after her? What kind of boyfriend are you? If you had chased after her, maybe this wouldn't have happened. You don't have any sense of responsibility as a man! What a shame for such a wonderful girl like Susanna..."

The veteran police said, "She's a woman, and you're the man. As a man, you should be more magnanimous. If you don't argue with her, there might not be any issues."

Johanne had said, "I understand you want to identify who leaked the data and quickly recover from the loss. However, without concrete evidence, you can't just accuse your girlfriend. Not to mention, the kidnapper targeted you... Such an event can leave a lasting psychological scar on a woman, so you need to take responsibility for her future...

As he gradually grew up and started to understand the world around him, whispers would often replace their way to his ears. "Is this the child that Ronald brought back from outside? I heard that he even had a fight with his wife over him before they died!" "It was him! If it weren't for this child, the couple wouldn't have passed away at such a young age."

"Who could disagree? Madeline was such a wonderful girl. She had a radiant beauty, always greeting people with a warm smile, and her relationship with Ronald... it was truly special..." Madeline was Ronald's wife.

"In my opinion, Johanne is the most pitiful. Out of the blue, he ended up with a brother to fight over the family fortune, not to mention he lost his parents at such a young age..." The repeated sighs of regret etched deeply into Zachary's heart.

No one had ever considered that Zachary, younger than Johanne, had lost his parents at an even earlier

age.

Perhaps it was because he was an illegitimate child.

His existence was a mistake from the very beginning. 00:75%0
