No Remarriage: You Don't Deserve Me (Lenora and Zachary)
Stay Away 348

hapter 348 They Were All Lies.

Let go Lenora sand coldly

Jonas looked at her, his fingers slowly tightening their grip.

"Let her go?"

Suddenly, a man's voice echoed from around the corner

Her heart skipped a beat

Oh no. Why is Zachary here! Did he hear everything I said at now? Could he have misunderstood?

Zachary strode over and yanked Jonas wrist away, then placed himself protectively in front of her. He fixed Jonas with a piercing gaze, asserting his dominance. "She has made it very clear that she's not into you jonas. Don't bother her anymore." The be numed to her and said. "Let's go.

He took Lenora's hand and started walking.

After a moment's hesitation, she followed him.

Jonas stood rooted to the spot and watched the pair leave before closing his eyes in anguish.

Meanwhile, Lenora slowed her pace after they rounded a comer and let out a sigh.

"What's the matter? Heartbroken" Zachary glanced at her, a small smile playing on his lips.

Jonas is relentless! However, I ove my thanks to him. If he hadn't been so persistent. I wouldn't have known that she

I liked me and was already planning to reconcile with me.

The realization filled his heart with a sweetness akin to honey, and he could hardly stop himself from jumping with joy.

She rolled her eyes at him and did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Hi just as I thought. Judging by that smile on his lips, he has definitely misunderstood.

"I had a dinner party," he replied. "I'll take you home."

"That won't be necessary. I didn't drink any alcohol"

-Then I'll ride back in your car," he responded, grinning.

She stared at him wordlessly for a moment.

"Has your dinner party ended?" she could not help butask.

"Yes"

Inside the elevator, it was just the two of them.

While she looked up at the electronic screen in the upper right corner that displayed the foot tumber with unblinking eyes, he gazed at her intently. The corners of his lips were lifted, and he was in buoyant spirits. I knew she'd reconcile with me, but I didn't expect it to happen to quickly. It's fortunate that I come here and heard her say all that

His intense gaze lingered on her for a long time, making her feel on edge

She sneaked a glance at him out of the corner of her eye. When she noticed the smitten look on his face. the comers of her lips twitched.

I should tell him the truth

She cleared her throat. "Zachary

"Hmm

At that moment, the elevator reached the underground parking lot.

She stepped out first and said. "Let's talk in the car."

Seeing her solemn demeanor, he wondered whether she was preparing to officially reconcile with him.

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Zachary had had a bit to drink at the dinner party, so Lenora drove.

She pulled out of the underground parking lot, merged smoothly into the flow of traffic, and drove forward steadily.

Seated in the passenger seat, he turned and asked. "What was it you wanted to tell me earlier?"

"Mmm... After I tell you, don't get worked up," she responded, keeping her attention focused on the road ahead.

"Don't worry."

Although reconciling with her was an incredibly thrilling prospect, he was determined to maintain his composure to preserve his image and dignity. "How much of my conversation with Jonas did you catch just now?"

"I basically heard everything," he answered.

I can't believe Jonas badmouthed me behind my back! Luckily, she didn't believe him.

"In that case, I'll just get straight to the point."

He hummed in response.

"Actually, what I said back then..."

Was all from the bottom of your heart?

Zachary tilted his head to look at her, a smile twinkling in his eyes.

They were all lies," she continued.

The smile on his face froze instantly.

Did I hear that right?

He was silent for a long while, and Lenora started feeling somewhat uneasy. She turned to glance at him briefly before promptly turning her head back.

Zachary pursed his lips. his smile fading away. In a somber tone, he uttered, "Come again?"

"Everything I said, they were all lies," she said much more weakly.

"What do you mean?"

"Jonas saw me getting into your car yesterday and thought we had reconciled. I consider him a friend and wanted him to give up on his hopes, which is why I didn't deny it."

"So, what you're saying is that all your talk of reconciliation and your professed affection for me were lies? You were just using me to get Jonas off your back?" He flicked his gaze, which was as dark as a moonless night, toward her.

Hearing his dangerous tone of voice, she defended herself by saying. "Well... I wasn't really using you... It was more like... casually doing a favor..."

T

"Hah!" he sneered. "Lenora, you truly do have a knack for pulling this stunt

When we were still married, she used Jonas to provoke me. Later, she even used Connor in an attempt to make me back off. She was so convincing that I almost believed her. If Harrietta hadn't convinced me otherwise, I would've let her go a long time ago. Lenora pressed her lips together uneasily and did not say anything.

It was silent inside the car.

While waiting for the red light, she stole a glance at him. He happened to catch her in the act, and she quickly averted her gaze, pretending as though nothing had happened.

The light turned green, and she started driving.

Suddenly, he said, "Since you've told Jonas that we're back together, we need to act more affectionate these next few days to make it more convincing so that he doesn't suspect a thing."

"Huh?" She had not expected such a turn of events. "Is. Is that really necessary?"

He raised an eyebrow and looked at her with an expression that was not quite a smile. "Why not? Didn't you hear him say how hard it is to forget someone? You've openly admitted your feelings for me, yet he still refuses to give up. On top of that, you don't genuinely like Though his words held a certain logic, she hesitated. "But..."

"No buts. It's settled, then. From now on, I'll pick you up every day after filming ends," he stated firmly.

"There's no need for that-

"Yes, there is"

She was rendered speechless

Did I just shoot myself in the foot

Upon returning home. Lenora immediately began editing photos. Since she had no scenes to film for the next two days, the wanted to take the opportunity to quickly get it done.

She spent Friday with the film crew.

After filming ended in the evening, she discovered that Zachary had indeed come to pick her up

As he stood by the car, leaning casually against the car door, his legs appeared even longer.

When he saw her approach, he took the initiative to open the car door and smiled at her. "All done? Get in. Let's go grab some food."

atto

"Okay she replied. Just as she was about to bend down to get into the car, he suddenly planted a quick kiss on her cheek "Zachary, you-

-Shh!" He raised his index finger to his lips. "Jonas is right behind you. Don't turn around."

She froze.

Having sent Jonas her filming schedule previously, it was not surprising that he knew she would be done

around this time.

"Kiss me." Zachary said with a tender smile. He glanced behind her and added. "He's watching you."

She bit her lower lip, then tiptoed to his him on his check before hurriedly climbing into the car and closing the door

Turning to the window, she looked in the direction she had just come from only to replace that there was not a single person in sight.

Her mind buzzed as the realization that she had been tricked by Zachary dawned on her

"Zachary Fuller!" She glared at him, gnashing her teetin anger.

His eyes glinted with amusement. "I'm here"

"Get lost she untered, turning away from him

The sight of her puffing out her cheeks and looking like a pufferfish made him curve his lips into a slight smile "Are you free this weekend? Let's cake Hame to the Fuller residence" Lenora's entire body stiffened I don't dare. I don't dere go back and see Grandma.

He continued. "Amally, Grandma is still unaware of Johanne's situation."

Johanne already had a family of his own, so even if he did not visit the Fuller residence for half & moniti. even a month. Allison would not think it odd. Zachary, Mallory, and the others had intentionally kept the truth from Allison.

According to Zachary's plan, he was going to wait until some time had passed before announcing that Johanne would be transferred to a branch company.
