Once they reached the airport parking lot, Lenora waved at Jonas who was standing nearby. "Goodbye, s you in Archulea."

Jonas paused for a moment before stepping out of the car. "Nora, would you mind seeing me off?"

Lenora paused for a moment and did not think too much about it. She alighted from the other side and was about to call Fiona to join them, but Jonas said, "Fiona, you wait in the car."

"Okay!" Fiona quickly agreed, flashing a cheerful grin at Lenora. "It's chilly outside, so I'll stay put. Nora. could yo

please see Jonas off for me?"

Feeling helpless, Lenora said to Jonas, "How about I walk you to the terminal entrance?"

"Sure," Jonas replied with a subtle smile.

Inside the car, Fiona and Sophia exchanged a meaningful glance.

Lenora and Jonas walked side by side to the terminal entrance.

Throughout the journey, Lenora kept bringing up different topics. "Is this project in Friyx your last one before New Year's Day?"

Jonas shook his head "No, I've moved up the remaining few projects. I'm trying to clear the latter half of the month so Lean travel with you all. Consider it a way to unwind."

"Why the rush? You wouldn't want to end up in the hospital because your body couldn't keep up. It's always better to balance work and rest. Given the flexibility of your vacation time, there's no need to insist on taking a break before New Year's Day." "Well, traveling alone can be quite dull. I'd like to go with you," Jonas said, gazing deeply at Lenora.

Lenora's face stiffened for a moment. She ignored Jonas' insinuation and said, "You're right. Having a friend along does lighten the mood. All right, we've arrived at the terminal. You should hurry inside. I should get back to the car soon. It's too cold outside." "Nora, wait up," Jonas said, pulling out a small box about the size of a palm from the pocket of his down jacket.

The box bore the imprint of a few letters. It was the logo of a high-end luxury brand.

He carefully opened it to reveal a delicate necklace inside. "I bought it at a duty-free shop in Friyx. I'm not sure if you'll like it."

Upon glancing at it, Lenora quickly refused, "This is far too valuable. I can't accept it."

"Nah, this price means nothing to us. If you feel bad, you can just pay me back in kind Enter."

"Then what's the point of this..."

"Think of this as a divorce gift from a friend. If you refuse it again, it will seem like you don't consider n a friend."

Upon hearing Jonas' words, Lenora had no choice but to accept. "All right then."

She planned to replace a suitable time to give Jonas something similar.

"Here, let me help you put this on," Jonas said as he took the necklace out of the box and unfastened the intricate clasp. Lenora leaned forward slightly.

Jonas held the ends of the necklace, draping it around Lenora's neck. The warm breath he exhaled brushed against Lenora's earlobe.

He subtly lowered his gaze, admiring her delicate ears. They were rounded and full, her skin exquisite an smooth.

Her ears were flushed red, though it was unclear whether it was from forgetting to wear ear warmers in th cold or from the heat.

From a distance, their stance appeared incredibly intimate, as if they were wrapped in an embrace, or perhaps even sharing a kiss.

"Are you done?" Lenora's neck had been stretched out for too long, and it was starting to feel cold and stiff

Regaining his composure. Jonas responded, "Almost."

With a click of the lock, Jonas released his grip and stepped back. He took a moment to look her over and then smiled. "It looks good on you."

"Thank you. There's not much time left. You should hurry inside."

"All right, see you in Archulea." Jonas waved at Lenora. You should get back in the car."

As Jonas disappeared into the terminal, Lenora turned around. Her whole body stiffened, her heart skipped a beat, and her facial muscles tightened. She was unsure of how to react.

Not far away, next to a black sedan, she saw Zachary leaning against the passenger side door, his gaze intensely fixed on her. He was dressed in a long black down coat with a large fur collar on the hood. His coat was unbuttoned, revealing the sweater and belt he wore underneath. Upon learning that their early departure from Summer Island was due to Jonas arrival, Zachary was filled with rage and jealousy.

Just moments ago, he had witnessed Jonas and Lenora locked in an embrace, sharing a kiss. The sight ignited a raging fury within him, which had erupted uncontrollably, and he could no longer keep it in check.

Even amidst his busy work schedule, Jonas found time to see her as she touched by his actions

Have they decided to be together?

The mere thought of Lenora becoming Jonas' wife and them sharing the intimate bond of a typical 2/4

married couple made Zachary feel as if his heart was being sliced piece by piece by a sharp dagger.

He clenched his teeth tightly. He would not allow it under any circumstances.

Lenora could only be his.

He was initially wary of Lenora's emotions, not wanting to show up in front of her so early.

Lenora hadn't expected Zachary to show up here. Taken aback for a moment, she headed straight for th

For reasons she couldn't quite understand, she felt a strange sense of guilt, akin to a wife caught in an at by her husband. However, she quickly realized there was no need for her to feel guilty.

She was already divorced from Zachary, and her relationship with Jonas was simply that of ordinary friends, nothing more. Even if there was something more, it had nothing to do with Zachary

She puffed up her chest, maintaining her composure under Zachary's gaze as she walked to the car and pulled open the door.

Just as she was about to settle into the back seat, Zachary's voice suddenly echoed from behind her. "Nora

Lenora froze for a moment, closed the car door, and turned to look at Zachary, who was approaching. He rosy lips curved into a smile. "Zachary, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you on a business trip?"

It had only been a few days since they last met, but she could see that he had lost a considerable amount o weight.

A wave of heartache slowly crept into Zachary's heart when he heard her address him by his first name.

Back when their relationship wasn't public yet, Lenora would address him by his first name whenever they bumped into each other in public.

He didn't think much of it at that time.

Yet, when he heard it now, it felt so grating, like a knife ruthlessly plunging into his heart.

He didn't realize that, for the past three years, every time Lenora called him by his first name, it felt like a knife cutting through her heart, leaving it scarred and bruised.

"No." Zachary replied, his eyes as dark as the night.

Lenora paused for a moment, then smiled. "So, you're not here on business, but for a vacation? I never imagined that, as the chairman of Fuller Group, you'd still replace time to travel."

Zachary didn't want to beat around the bush. He said earnestly, "I came to replace you."

"Me?" Lenora's expression froze for a moment. She quickly regained her composure and asked, "What do you need me for?"
