Coming out of the movie theater, Lenora brushed back a strand of hair by her ear and asked, "Do you still have any of the materials that were deemed non-compliant at your place?"

Connor gave a nod. "There's still a batch at home. We were planning to send it to the property owner's residence, but it got reported before we could."

"Then let's go back to your place to get some."

"Alright."

The two arrived at the parking lot. Lenora took the driver's seat while Connor settled into the passenger

seat.

After fastening his seatbelt and watching Lenora start the car, Connor suddenly felt a bit awkward. "Lenora, maybe I should drive."

Lenora turned her head and smiled. "I'll drive. Your foreign license needs to be approved before it can be used here in our country." "I'll go apply for that another day," Connor said.

Half an hour later, Lenora parked near Connor's residential area in a public parking spot. "Go grab it-I'll wait here."

"Then wait for me. I'll be out in no time," he said.

After finishing his words, Connor unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Just as he was about to close the car door, Lenora called out to him again, "Oh, and don't mention me to your parents."

Connor paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Why? You've done me such a huge favor, Lenotá I was actually hoping to invite you over for dinner at my place."

The real reason was that she worried Richie might grow suspicious if he learned of her identity and became wary.

However, she couldn't voice these thoughts. Lenora remained calm and collected, looking at Connor with. a steady gaze and a sparkle in her eyes. "It's because I've been divorced before... I think most parents wouldn't want their child to be with a woman who's older and has been divorced."

That was especially the case since Connor was considered quite outstanding.

Suddenly, it was as if Connor realized something. The smile on his lips grew wider, and he looked like a big puppy, showing his cute little canine teeth. "I understand, Lenora. I swear I won't mention you to them!"

After saying his piece, he waved cheerfully at Lenora and headed inside in high spirits.

.

Didn't her words mean that she might also like him and have plans to be with him?

Connor was so happy he felt like he was floating as he walked.

However, what Lenora said was right. His mother likely wouldn't agree to them being together.

His mother was rather conservative and had recently been arranging blind dates for him through connections, all with women in fields like teaching or medicine.

However, he wasn't going to yield.

Bringing up Lenora with his parents at this point wasn't the best timing. If his mother sensed anything unusual, she might just force him into more blind dates, thereby limiting his freedom.

It would be better to wait until his relationship with Lenora was secure before mentioning her.

Richie's construction team was reported for using substandard materials, specifically synthetic resin emulsion wall paint and polyethylene pipes.

Connor grabbed a portion of the paint and some pipes, then jogged out of the neighborhood and put them in the back seat of the car.

He pulled open the car door and slid into the passenger seat, catching his breath. As he buckled his seatbelt, he said, "My parents were asking about you, Lenora."

Lenora's hands that were resting on the steering wheel unconsciously clenched. "Oh?"

Connor grinned. "Good thing you reminded me ahead of time. I told them you're a helpful colleague of mine."

With a smile, Lenora said, "That's not exactly a lie. You could say we were former colleagues."

Connor chuckled, his eyes sparkling like stars. "That's exactly what I was thinking."

With a light chuckle, Lenora then drove off to the testing facility.

After handing over the materials to the inspection personnel, Lenora and Connor left the testing facility.

Connor was not ready to leave just yet. He pointed and said, "Lenora, I recall there's a newly opened cake shop in that mall over there. How about we go take a look?" Meeting Connor's hopeful gaze, Lenora gently nodded in response.

The two of them walked side by side at a leisurely pace, gradually making their way toward the nearby mall.

While pedestrians on the street hurried by, the two of them strolled casually forward, chatting as they went.

Suddenly, Connor's swinging arm brushed against Lenora's hand.

Subconsciously, Lenora pulled her hand back a bit before continuing forward, casually mentioning, "I've tried cakes from several cake shops around Goldthorn Mall..." Connor lowered his gaze, not really paying attention to what Lenora was saying.

His ears tinged a faint red, and he closed his eyes for a moment, mentally cheering himself on. Suddenly, he took hold of Lenora's soft, slender hand.

His hand was one size larger than hers, enveloping hers tightly.

As the sensation of his skin touching hers registered, Lenora tensed, instinctively wanting to pull away.

Yet, she simply held herself back.

Lenora pressed her lips together, lowered her head, and said nothing

At that moment, she only felt awkward, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

An image of Zachary inexplicably flashed across her mind, adding a touch of heaviness to her heart.

Why did he come to mind again?

She must have truly lost her mind!

Her emotions were in turmoil, but she didn't want Connor to notice, so she had no choice but to lower her head and conceal her feelings.

Connor said with a smile, "Lenora, your hands are a bit cold. Next time you go out, wear a bit more. Don't catch a cold."

Lenora remarked, "It might be due to my constitution. My hands are always cold in winter."

"Then, every winter from now on, let me be the one to warm your hands." Connor's voice was incredibly tender.

Lenora remained silent.

She really didn't know what to say.

Connor simply assumed she was feeling embarrassed.

That was fine. Everything was progressing in a good direction.

The two of them arrived at the cake shop.

Looking at the array of cakes in the display case, Connor saw the sparkle in Lenora's eyes and asked, "Lenora, which one do you fancy? The black forest cake?" Lenora's face darkened. "No, I don't enjoy eating chocolate."

Whenever she saw a black forest cake, it would remind her of those unpleasant memories from the past.

And then there was Zachary, who would still linger in her mind persistently even if he was gone from her

life.

"Then let's buy something else."

In the end, Lenora chose a slice of matcha-flavored cake, a slice of red velvet cake, and a slice of tiramisu.

After buying the cakes, they stopped by a shop for some milkshakes.

By the time they left the mall, the sun had already set, and the sky was growing dark.

Lenora dropped Connor off at home before heading to the Fuller residence to pick up Harrietta.

Harrietta was sitting on the couch, swinging her short legs with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Aunt Lenora, why did it take you so long to come pick me up?" 13:01 Mon, 11 Nov G.

Chapter 238 Lingered In Her Mind

Lenora sat down beside her, gently patting her head. "I had some matters to attend to."

Harrietta didn't say anything else.

Lenora spent some time chatting with Allison before she left with Harrietta.

After climbing into the back seat of the car, Harrietta spotted the cakes and milkshakes next to her. Delighted, she exclaimed, "Oh, there's cake! I want some!" Lenora settled into the driver's seat, fastening her seatbelt. "If you want some, open the packaging yourself."

Harrietta unwrapped a piece of cake and grabbed a milkshake. As she ate and drank simultaneously, she muttered, "This is really good! So delicious!" Lenora caught sight of Harrietta's puffed cheeks in the rearview mirror. She chuckled before starting the

car.

Suddenly, Harrietta's eyes twinkled mischievously. She said, "Oh, Aunt Lenora, I know now! You went out with the skinny... with Connor, right?" Lenora was speechless.
