Harrietta agreed, so Lenora grabbed her car keys and headed out.

As the capital of Jiuphes, Jacaster serves as both a political and economic hub, with a thriving tourism industry and several nationally renowned scenic spots that attract crowds during holiday seasons. Lenora drove Harrietta to two popular spots in Jacaster snapping lots of photos along the way and browsing the shops nearby.

Full of energy, Harrietta bought a bunch of souvenirs to bring back to her grandma and classmates. By noon, Lenora took Harrietta to a small but popular restaurant near one of the sites for lunch. They chose a window seat with a nice view outside.

The seat was a bit high, so Lenora lifted Harrietta into it, her short legs swinging back and forth.

To make it easier to look after her, Lenora sat on the same side and discussed with her what dishes to order.

Living in a Clusian community in Lofbury, Harrietta was used to Clusian food, though the options back there weren't as extensive as they were here.

This lunch finally let her show her true colors as a kid who just couldn't resist good food-she ate so much she looked like a little kitten with food all over her face

Once they'd had enough, Lenora took her to the restroom to wash up a bit.

They returned to their seats to relax, leaning together as they looked through the photos on the camera. Suddenly, Lenora's phone on the table lit up with a new message on WhatsApp.

She glanced at it and saw it was from Connor: Ms. Wilkin, have you had lunch yet?

He'd also sent a photo of his lunchbox with the text: I've started work at Fuller Group.

Lenora's mouth twitched as she rubbed her forehead.

What was Connor doing?

She'd thought he'd back off after learning she was divorced, but he was still hanging around. Although maybe she was overthinking it. He just be reaching out for professional advice since he

knew she used to work at the Fuller Group.

Harrietta kept peeking at Lenora's phone screen.

The little girl was very literate for her age; she noticed the name "Connor Morris" and knew it was a man. She couldn't help but feel a bit hostile. He is probably trying to steal Aunt Lenora away from Uncle Zachary! Just as Lenora was debating whether to reply, Harrietta suddenly spoke up, her big eyes staring at Lenora innocently. "Aunt Lenora, who's Connor?"

Lenora fell a momentary pang of guilt for some reason "He's just a friend

She swiftly changed the subject. "I'm single now."

"Well, does he want to be your husband?"

Lenora fell silent.

Unable to hold back, she gently pinched the little girl's heek. "There's nothing like that. Don't go making things up.

Then she shifted the subject again. "Hattic, you're amazing. You already know so many words,"

"Aunt Lenora, are you changing the subject?"

Lenora gaped.

Is it that obvious?

She shut off her phone screen and brought a hand to her mouth, clearing her throat. "Are you still hungry? There's dessert on the menu. Shall I order you some?" ""Sure! Harrietta's eyes lit up.

Lenora scanned the QR code to order dessert, and they continued looking through the photos together.

She'd barely set her phone back down on the table when the screen lit up again. She had received a WhatsApp message.

Likely another message from Connor.

Lenora pretended not to notice, picking up the camera instead.

"Aunt Lenora, you got a message. Why aren't you checking it?" Harrietta asked curiously.

Lenora replied casually, "It's nothing urgent."

"How would you know if you didn't look?"

Lenora fell silent.

Why is Harrietta so incredibly smart? Not even food can shut her up!

"Is it that you don't want me to see?" Harrietta pouted. "Aunt Lenora, don't treat me like a little kid who doesn't understand. I actually know everything. This Connor definitely wants to be your husband..." "I'm not hiding anything from you, Hattic. I just don't think his messages are that important."

"What if it's from someone else?"

Lenora was speechless.

She ended up opening her phone to take a quick look.

It was indeed another message from Connor.

Connor Ms. Wilkin, do you have some free time recently? I love to take you out to dinner.

And as if to preempt any rejection, Connor added: just started my internship and feel a bit lost. I heard you used to work at Fuller Group, and I was hoping to get some guidance from you. "Aunt Lenora, he's asking you out to dinner."

"Mm-hmmm."

Lenora turned on the screen.

"You're not going to reply?"

"No need."

"Oh. I get it! You don't like him! I don't like him either!

"And why don't you like him?"

Harrietta acted coy, hugging Lenora's arm and giving it a shake. "Because he's trying to steal you from Uncle Zachary! Aunt Lenora, I like you, and I want you to be my aunt.

"Hattie, if you like me, I can be your aunt just the same. I'm divorced from your Uncle Zachary, and that's a permanent decision. I can't go back to being his wife

"But Uncle Zachary told me he loves you so much he'd give his life for you. To him, you're like the air he breathes. Without you, his life has no meaning. If you got back together, he said he'd give up everything for you. Aunt Lenora, can't you give Uncle Zachary just one more chance?"

Lenora felt her ears flush red hearing all this, but it also struck her as odd.

Even if Zachary did think all that, would he really say it to a kid?

But if he hadn't, was Harrietta just making things up? That seemed unlikely.

Then it dawned on her.

Zachary had likely planted these thoughts in Harrietta's mind, fully expecting her to pass them on. What a scheming

man!

Lenora inwardly cursed Zachary out.

"Hattie, if I'm not your aunt, would you still like me?"

"Of course. I like you whether or not you're my aunt." Harrietta didn't dare push further.

She knew it was only her first day here. If she said too much on Zachary's behalf, she might make Lenora suspicious.

"Then that's all that matters, right? Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's pick out some photos. When it's time for you to go home, I will send you a photo album as a gift!"

"Thanks, Aunt Lenora." Harrietta planted a big kiss on Lenora's check.

Lenora fell silent.

She didn't feel like talking anymore.

Oh well, let her be

After leaving the restaurant, Harrietta started to get sleepy.

Lenora took her home for an afternoon nap, then continued their tour of Jacaster.

By a little after five in the evening, the sky had already begun to dim.

Lenora took Harrietta to a grilled fish restaurant for dinner.

After ordering. Harrietta stood up and announced, "Aunt Lenora, I'm going to the restroom."

"Let me take you there."

"No need, I saw where it was on the way in," Harrietta said, pointing to a spot across the room.

"Okay, off you go. If you need anything, just let me know."

Since the restaurant wasn't in a shopping mall, and the restroom was located inside the establishment, Lenora felt comfortable letting Harrietta go by herself. Harrietta went into the restroom and found an empty stall. After sitting down, she activated her smartwatch, placing a call.

It was picked up almost instantly

She whispered, "Uncle Zachary, we're at the Hibiscus Restaurant on Cultural Road. We haven't gotten our food yet, so come quick."
