Zachary's words were cut off as Lenora covered his mouth with her other hand. A hint of amusement twinkled in his eyes.

Lenora slowly let out a sigh, a faint blush still lingering on her cheeks. She shot Zachary a stern look. "I'll let go, but you have to promise to shut up." Zachary gave a noncommittal smile, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Lenora furrowed her brow, about to speak, when she suddenly felt an odd tickling sensation in her palm, along with a dampness.

"Zachary!" Lenora quickly pulled her hand away, distancing herself considerably. She wiped her palm with a look of disgust on her face. "It's disgusting!"

Zachary wore an indifferent expression. "How is it disgusting? You were the one who offered your hand. There isn't a part of you I haven't touched, and let's not forget that time in the hospital ward-" "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Lenora interrupted him, her ears burning red with embarrassment

How shameless of him to say that!

She despised her own vivid memory. As soon as he mentioned the hospital ward, the scenes from that time instantly surfaced in her mind.

"You're thinking about that time, aren't you?" Zachary's voice dropped to a seductive whisper.

"That's enough!" Lenora retorted sharply. Her ears turned an even brighter shade of red.

Zachary chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a hint of confidence as if he was sure she was lying.

This sent a tingling sensation down Lenora's scalp..

Worried that Zachary would say something else that was inappropriate, she warned, "Zachary, if you keep this up, I'll sue you for sexual harassment!"

"All right, I'll stop." Zachary knew when to quit while he was ahead. He grabbed Lenora's sleeve. "You didn't eat much for dinner. Why don't we sit down and have a bit more? I'm sure it will be to your liking." Seeing how quickly Zachary changed the topic, Lenora couldn't react in time.

She had just sampled a few dishes, and indeed, the food here'was quite tasty. However, she didn't want to have dinner with him.

Considering their relationship, it wasn't suitable to have too many interactions.

"What's the matter? Now that we're divorced, you don't even want to share a meal with me? Are you trying to cut off ties with the Fuller family? Grandma has been constantly worried about you..."

Zachary noticed the cold indifference on Lenora's face sense of disappointment welled up within him. He knew his words were somewhat underhanded, yet he still wanted to fight for another chance, even if it

meant using Allison and the Fuller family as a bargaining chip

Lenora was slightly taken aback.

Reflecting on the fact that Zachary had been seriously injured in a car accident while protecting her es after their divorce, Lenora finally sat down at the table. All right, I'm only staying because of Grandma

A faint smile played at the corner of Zachary's mouth. He ordered a few more dishes that Lenora loved

Regardless of the reason, he was glad that she stayed.

He was already content with the current attitude he was receiving from Lenora

He still embered the time when Lenora was in her postpartum care period after childbirth. She v silent and withdrawn, and every time their eyes met, they would be lost for words. She was unwilling to speak or meet his gaze, leaving him no chance to start a conversation. After days of traveling, her vitality gradually returned.

Lenora rested her elbows on the table, her hands propping up her cheek. No matter how hard she tried. she couldn't figure out how things had ended up with her sitting face-to-face with Zachary over a meal

She had clearly planned to confront Zachary and catch him red-handed.

Zachary poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Lenora, then took the initiative to introduce the restaurant's signature dishes to her.

When the waiter began serving the dishes, Lenora asked, "Where did Elijah go? Ask him to come back and join us."

Zachary's face darkened. "Leave him be."

"I was the one who invited him for dinner, and besides, he's your friend. You eat him like this."

""Don't you already know why I treat him like this?"

Lenora was taken aback, pointing at her own nose. "Me? Why would I know?"

"Who was the one who wanted to be his girlfriend? Who said he was handsome and had a great physique? Who planned to stay out all night instead of returning to the hotel' And who intended to use my money to support him?" Lenora fell silent. "That was obviously a lie... I was just testing you guys.

"I'm just worried, Nora. I'm scared."

Those words stirred a small ripple in the otherwise calm lake of her heart.

Lenora looked up at Zachary,

Zachary confessed, "I'm very scared. I'm scared that you'll really fall for him and insist on being with him. I'm scared that you'll leave me for good and that I won't have another chance to win you back. I'm on tenterhooks every day. So, when I saw Jonas holding you that day, I couldn't control myself and got out of the car to see you. I'm scared that in the blink of an eye you'll become someone else's bride, and I'll be

reduced to an insignificant ex

The tone of his voice and the look in his eyes made it seem as if he was deeply in love with her.

But that simply couldn't be possible.

Zachary's acting skills had become so polished that if he ever tried his hand at the entertainment industry. he might just snag a Best Actor award

Once lured by fleeting sweetness, Lenora had suffered endless bitterness in its wake. Now, wiser, she wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

"We're already divorced...

"I know. It's precisely because we're divorced that I'm filled with such apprehension. I'm not saying all this to pressure you into getting back together with me. I'm just expressing my feelings. Lenora lowered her gaze.

"All right, let's not talk about this now. Let's eat."

Zachary picked up a slice of salmon and placed it on Lenora's plate.

Both of them didn't bring up the earlier topic again, tacitly focusing only on the food on the table, which made the atmosphere quite harmonious.

Halfway through the meal, Zachary asked, "How did you figure out that Elijah's friend was me?"

Lenora picked up the cup of water. "When we first met, he nodded at me, but I didn't know him."

A thought seemed to strike Lenora and she suddenly looked up at Zachary, "You're the new boss of the Aurora tour group, aren't you?"

Zachary openly admitted, "I was worried that a regular van wouldn't be comfortable enough for you, especially since you've just come out of the postpartum period."

A myriad of emotions flashed across Lenora's eyes. "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, she was still moved by Zachary's concern.

Though she was moved, she remained rational.

Regardless of his intentions, she had no plans to remarry him.

Zachary might still have a place in her heart, but it was just that-a place. Slowly, her heart would make room for others.

"Why thank me? Even if we're divorced, I should still take care of you."

Lenora gently shook her head. "Zachary, I don't need your care. You should return to Clusia tomorrow! I don't like the feeling of being watched from the shadows, as if all my secrets are laid bare before you, with no privacy to speak of. Besides, it's not good for you to stay here all the time. You have work and family, and Grandma is waiting for you to return."

Zachary's expression became increasingly solemn.

She still insists on driving me away.

Lenora looked into his eyes and continued, "You keep saying that respect my wishes and stop disrupting my current life, okay?"

Zachary was speechless.

like me. Fine, if you truly do,

He never expected that, just as the meal was drawing to a close, Lenora would use his own words to corner him, leaving him with absolutely no room to retaliate.

He remained silent for a long while, then smiled and said, "Nora, you've won."
