Zachary tossed his phone aside before gently patting Harrietta's back. "Shh, Hattic, don't cry. Don't cry

anymore...

Harrietta was nestled in Zachary's arms, sobbing softly,

Zachary wasn't sure how to comfort her, so he simply patted her back gently. He took a couple of tissues from the table and handed them to her, waiting for her to gradually calm down.

While Harrietta was wiping her tears, a constant stream of whimpers left her throat.

"Be good, Hattic. You can hang out with whomever you like, okay? You don't have to listen to your grandma."

Leaning on Zachary's shoulder, Harrietta's eyes were tinged with red, teardrops still clinging to her lashes. Her voice wavered slightly as she asked, "Uncle Zachary, why doesn't Grandma like Aunt Lenora?" Zachary's expression darkened slightly. In truth, he had also asked this question plenty of times before.

Ever since Lenora arrived at the Fuller family, Tamara had never shown her a friendly face.

However, in the beginning, she merely treated Lenora as if she were air.

Later on, after Gerald announced Zachary's engagement to Lenora, Tamara vehemently opposed it. She even made a special trip back to the country to confront Gerald about it, and she likely sought out Lenora in private as well. After failing to convince those two, Tamara came to him instead, adamantly urging him to reject this marriage proposal.

It wasn't until he stated that he had no desire to go against his grandfather's wishes and assured her he would eventually divorce Lenora that she managed to calm down reluctantly.

From the very beginning, Tamara's reason was that Lenora's background wasn't good enough, that she wasn't a match for him.

Nevertheless, there was simply no need to tell Harrietta about this.

Harrietta gazed up at Zachary with a puzzled expression, seemingly confused.

Zachary looked at Harrietta's little face and shifted the topic. "Hattie, would you like to stay in Jacaster and go to school here in the future? I'll take care of you."

"I..." Harrietta pursed her lips slightly, lowering her head.

Seeing that, Zachary chuckled. "How about we not dwell on this topic for now? Don't mind what your grandma said. Now that you're here with me, you should listen to me. Feel free to go wherever you want to and with whomever you wish to play with." He completely understood Harrietta's hesitation.

Tamara had raised her since she was a child. Despite the generation gap, their emotional bond couldn't be easily severed, much like his relationship with his grandparents.

"Okay," Harrietta softly responded.

"All right." Zachary picked up the tiger plushies, tucking them into Harrietta's arms. "Time to go to sleep. Are you going to play with Lenora tomorrow?"

Harrietta silently shook her head.

"Why? Because of what your grandma said?"

Harrietta lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. "I don't want to anger Grandma."

It seemed as though she was afraid of upsetting Zachary too, as she then wrapped her arms around his neck. "I only have Grandma as my family. She's been very kind to me, so I don't want to make her angry."

Hearing this, Zachary felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He smiled at Harrietta and said, "Hattie, you have more than one family member. Your Aunt Lenora and I are your family, and so is your great-grandmother. Your preferences are what matter most. You don't need to hold back or inconvenience yourself for your grandma. Moreover, your grandma was just trying to scare you; she isn't really angry with you. If she is truly upset with you, you could always go to your great-grandma and tattle on her. Let your great-grandma discipline her!" "Really? Would Great-grandma back me up? Just like how Cameron's mommy scolded him?"

"That's right, your great-grandmother would scold her!"

The thought of her grandmother being scolded like a child by her great-grandmother made Harrietta burst into laughter. "Happy now?"

"Mm-hmm." Harrietta rubbed her head gently against Zachary's shoulder, much like a kitten. "Uncle Zachary, you're so kind."

At that moment, Tamara called again.

Zachary hung up the phone immediately, cradling Harrietta as he ascended the stairs.

Once Harrietta had fallen asleep, Zachary stepped out of the room. He gently closed the door behind him, walked downstairs to the living room, and dialed Tamara's number.

Once the call connected, Tamara had noticeably calmed down. "Has Hattie gone to sleep?"

"Yes."

Tamara sighed, a hint of helplessness seeping through her voice. "Zack, I only want what's best for you. Why can't you understand that?"

"Other than Lenora, I won't consider marrying again. Aunt Tamara, there's no need for further discussion on this subject. I called you back because I wanted to discuss Hattie's matters."

Tamara's voice was laced with irritation as she snapped, "I can see that you're completely smitten with Lenora! Don't think for a moment that I'm unaware Lenora can't bear children, so you're planning to keep Hattie in the country to be her surrogate daughter! Let me be clear-I won't stand for this!"

Zachary's eyes hardened, his face becoming cloaked with a layer of frostiness. "How did you know?"

"She..." Tamara blurted out, wanting to say something but then held back. "After you told me about her miscarriage that day, I had someone check at the hospital. It's precisely because she can no longer bear

children that I'm firmly against you remarrying her. You need to think this through. Do you really plan on never having your own biological children?"

"Yes, in this lifetime, I want no one but Lenora!" Zachary said with absolute certainty. "Aunt Tamara, I've decided to let Hattie make her own choice after her holiday ends. If she wants to go back, I'll send her back. If she prefers to stay here, you won't have to worry about her anymore."

"You..." Tamara was exasperated. "Have you ever considered that only miscarrying once shouldn't have made her infertile? Who knows how many she might have lost already! For such a promiscuous woman, you-"

"Aunt Tamara!" Zachary raised his voice in anger. "I address you as Aunt out of respect for my elders, but that doesn't mean I'll allow you to insult Nora at will. From now on, Hattic will stay with me. I fear that being around someone like you, who despises the poor and loves wealth and who can't distinguish right from wrong, is not conducive to her growth!"

"Zachary! You-"

Before Tamara could utter another word, Zachary had already hung up the phone.

Tamara called again, but he rejectcu the call.

Calls from Tamara came one after another, but Zachary simply silenced his phone and placed it face down on the table.

For the following two days, Harrietta didn't seek out Lenora again.

Lenora was thoroughly enjoying her time strolling around Jacaster, casually taking pictures.

After returning home, she carefully selected the photos she was pleased with and posted them on her social media platform.

The comment section was flooded with praises, most of which reflected the popular sentiment. However, there were a few individuals who took the time to earnestly describe the scenery depicted in the photos.

Lenora casually browsed through, then logged out of Twitter, only to see a message from Fiona waiting for her.

It was a link.

Following that, Fiona sent another message: Nora, take a look at this. I recommend you to participate.

Lenora didn't rush to respond. Instead, she clicked on the link, which redirected her to a Twitter post.

The Twitter account was named Smada International Photography Competition, and it appeared to be an officially certified account.

The gist of the Twitter post was about the launch of the new session of the Smada International Photography Competition, inviting photography enthusiasts to register.

The information also included the timeline for submissions, categories of works accepted, competition rufes, award arrangements, esteemed judges, and so on.

Fiona added: This photography competition holds a lot of prestige. Regardless of whether you win or not, the

In truth, she had already decided to participate,

Since she had nothing better to do, participating in some photography competitions wasn't a bad idea.

On Friday night, Zachary called Lenora,

When Lenora answered the phone, it was Harrietta's childish voice on the other end. "Aunt Lenora, don't forget to pick me up tomorrow, okay!" "Don't worry, I remember!"
