Miles continued, "There are several questionable aspects to this situation. Firstly, Mrs. Fuller had a close female friend back there. However, upon her return here, she unexpectedly treated this friend coldly, as if she was a stranger. Secondly, I searched every hospital and clinic in that area, even those in the neighboring cities, but I found no record of her giving birth. Either she went to a farther city, or someone deliberately erased it. Another point to consider is that such a long medical leave would typically reflect in her results. However, upon returning and converting her credits, she surprisingly excelled in every subject, showing no signs of irregularity"

As soon as Miles finished speaking, Zachary remained silent for a long while..

It wasn't until Miles started to get anxious that he prompted Zachary, "Mr. Fuller?"

"Continue the investigation. Also, I don't want anyone else to know about this." "Understood."

Zachary ended the call and tossed his phone onto the bedside table, playfully teasing Cotton with his

hand.

Cotton was still too young to understand. Clutching onto Zachary's finger, it gnawed at it with its little milk teeth. Yet for Zachary, it felt no different than a tickle.

Zachary closed his eyes, replaying Miles' words in his mind. An incredible speculation flashed through his mind.

Lenora doesn't know she has given birth to a child. Alternatively, due to certain reasons, she has forgotten about the events that occurred during her time studying abroad Hence, she never mentioned her experiences there, as if it had wever happened. That is why she was unfamiliar with the friends she had made there. It also explains why she had chosen to leave her child behind and marry me. It's because she has no idea of its existence. Thus, when she was pregnant this time, it felt just like the first time.

Zachary reached up to massage his brow, understanding that Lenora wasn't intentionally hiding anything from him. This realization brought him some comfort

Nevertheless, the question remained-who was that man?

Intuition told Zachary that it wasn't the association president, nor was it Lenora's classmate.

Who is the person behind the erasing of all her tracks? Is it that man? Where is the child now? Why would Lenora forget about the things that happened during her time studying abroad? However, since she has forgotten, it would be best if she never remembered! As for that child, he would seek it out in secret..

If it has died, at least it would be a clean break. If it were still alive, let it stay abroad forever, never to appear before Lenora again!

At that moment, the notification sound from WhatsApp chimed, ringing several times in succession.

Zachary opened his WhatsApp, only to replace a few photos sent over by Elijah.

Zachary casually opened one.

The photo was taken at a ski resort, where the glaring white of the snow under the sun dominated the scene. At the center of the frame were two figures dressed in ski gear, a man and a woman. They were at a distance, but their silhouettes were distinct. The man's hand was resting on the woman's waist in an intimate gesture.

Elijah wouldn't send a photo without reason, so Zachary had already guessed the identity of the woman in the picture.

A vein throbbed on his forehead.

With a swipe to the left, the second photo popped up.

The man's hand rested gently on the woman's shoulder, his head tilted slightly downward, seemingly bestowing a kiss on her forehead.

Zachary flipped through all the photos with a gloomy expression, his eyes deep and intense.

jah I didn't expect Ms. Wilkin to have admirers knocking on her door so soon after her divorce!

Elijah: This guy is a college student, three years younger than her. He keeps calling her miss. Tsk-Tsk...

Elijah: / heard they even made plans to watch the Aurora together at night. How romantic is that? And at such a late hour, young men and women are more likely to act on impulse...

Elijah: I heard they're staying at the same hotel too!

The thought of what could possibly transpire between them that night made Zachary's face contort for a moment, his complexion turning ashen.

He stared intently at the man in the photograph, a fierce determination simmering in his eves.

If looks could kill through the internet, Connor would have been dead many times over.

Elijah: I've heard that the best way to move on from a past relationship is to start a new one. It seems like Ms. Wilkin is quite determined!

Zachary's teeth clenched audibly in anger. At the same time, a deep-seated bitterness welled up within him, causing a dull ache in his heart.

A bitter sensation assaulted his throat, leaving a harsh and acidic taste in his mouth.

She had already begun to slowly move on, while he stood alone, rooted to the

spor.

His gaze fixed unwaveringly on her retreating figure, hoping that she would turn back.

However, her utter disappointment in him would prevent her from ever doing so.

Even though Zachary knew she would never forgive him, he still couldn't let go.

He replied to Elijah: Do whatever it takes to stop them. Spare no expense! I'm heading to Nardor right away!

If that kid dares to mess with Lenora, I will surely make him pay the price!

Elijah responded swiftly: OK. I'll have someone buy you some time. Hurry up

Immediately after, Zachary dialed Miles' number. "Book me a flight to Torthbury, and make it quick!" "Understood."

As for such an outcome, Miles wasn't surprised at all..

Compared to the past, Zachary was more focused on the future. He wouldn't dwell on or fuss over things that had already happened. Just like when someone made a mistake at work, instead of panicking and scrambling for excuses, Zachary preferred that his employees cast aside their distractions and replace ways to remedy the problem. When it came to Lenora, Zachary initially struggled to accept it. However, after a few days, he was able to come to terms with it on his own.

After all, it was a thing of the past. What had happened could neither be changed nor erased.

Since he couldn't let go of Lenora, he could only accept the past as it was.

However, that wasn't what mattered. What truly mattered was Lenora's future was with him.

Miles was highly efficient; he quickly arranged the visa and booked the plane

tickets.

Zachary got out of bed and quickly packed his bags. He asked Miranda to take good care of Cotton, then headed straight for the airport to meet up with Miles. Together, they boarded a plane bound for Torthbury.

At the Torthbury ski resort, Lenora and Connor, along with their friends arrived.

From a distance, some people could be seen donning helmets and ski goggles. Dressed in ski suits, they had their feet strapped to skis and hands gripping ski poles. They skied against the wind across the vast snowy landscape. They were like whales leisurely swimming in the vast ocean, or birds soaring freely in the sky. The sense of freedom they exuded was truly enviable.

Indeed, dreams were beautiful, yet reality was often harsh.

Ordinary shoes were designed with anti-slip features, allowing for movement across snowy terrains. On the other hand, skis were specifically created for the purpose of skiing and were made from unique materials.

Lenora had underestimated its slipperiness. The moment she stepped out of the changing room, she fell flat on her backside.

Because he was sitting on the ground, the ski pole was too high to lean on to stand up directly. Her feet were strapped to the long skis, which limited her movements. It took her quite a while and a great deal of effort to get up.

On the path leading to the ski route, Lenora had learned her lesson and proceeded with great caution.

Sophia, however, had taken a spectacular fall, landing flat on her back, which caused Leñora and Fiona to burst into laughter..

Subsequently, they decided to spend money to hire a coach at the room with them

There were probably a lot of Clusian tourists visiting the area, so the des instructors han pred vyf Clusian phrases. However, the primary mode of communication was still iprion

Mavenwor Lenora was completely engrossed in the instruction, practicing alongside the skin and grasped some useful techniques.

Subsequently, the ski instructor led her to ski slowly across the snow Later on, he was also the snowy terrain on her own at a gradual pace.

Her ski sliced into the snow, emitting a squeaking sound as it glided along
