She felt weak all over, as if she had turned into a puddle of water. Leaning into Zachary's embrace, her face was flushed, her lips slightly parted as she panted heavily. Noticing her body shudder, Zachary withdrew his hand.

"How do you feel? Do you feel completely relaxed now?"

Lenora leaned against him, not wanting to move an inch. She hummed softly in response, much like a contented kitten.

Zachary wrapped his arms around her before-lifting her up to sit on his lap.

Realizing his intentions, Lenora quickly struggled, exclaiming, "No, no, we can't..."

If they indulged in further activities, the child wouldn't be able to handle it.

Zachary said, "Of course we can. Let's not go to work tomorrow."

He had been abstaining for two months now.

Moreover, he had been constantly helping her to relax these past few days, which only made even harder to endure.

Lenora failed to escape his clutches, but just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lenora nudged him and urged, "You should go and open the door."

Zachary closed his eyes briefly, cursing whoever it was outside the door under his breath. It had to be their evening meal being delivered, but the timing couldn't have been worse.

He had no choice but to put on his bathrobe and head to the door to collect their dinner.

The dinner was incredibly lavish, with Zachary assisting in setting it up on the platform by the hot spring pool.

Lenora was enjoying a hot spring soak while having dinner-the level of comfort was simply indescribable.

After finishing dinner, Lenora rose from the hot spring pool and wrapped herself in a bath towel. "I'll head. back first. Take your time eating.

The vein on Zachary's forehead throbbed..

This clever little rascal! Slipping away after enjoying herself?

After Lenora left, he had a few more bites to eat, then got out of the hot spring pool and tidied up the area.

around it.

Returning to the living room, Zachary picked up the phone on the sofa, intending to unlock it. Only then did he realize that this wasn't his phone but Lenora's, which had been left behind.

After cracking the password, the screen was left open on her Instagram feed, as if she had just been scrolling through it but hadn't finished.

He casually scrolled down, his finger suddenly coming to a halt.

It was a post Susanna made the night before that stated Thanks for the late-night company.

He tapped on the attached image, instantly recognizing one of the hands in the picture as his own.

The timestamp on the post was exactly that night when he had secretly gone to see Susanna, keeping it from Lenora..

Zachary abruptly furrowed his brows, a wave of panic unexpectedly flashing through him.

Has Lenora already seen this post? She probably hasn't, right?

Zachary pulled out his own phone and scrolled through his Instagram feed. However, he couldn't replace Susanna's post.

He tapped on Susanna's profile picture using Lenora's phone, confirming it was undoubtedly her.

A thought flashed through Zachary's mind.

He sent a message to Charles: Charles, did Susanna post on her Instagram the night before last?

Charles quickly replied to the message: No, why do you ask?

Realization dawning, Zachary sent: It's nothing.

This post was visible to Lenora only.

Why did Susanna post such a message on her social media? Was it on purpose for Lenora to see? To show off in front of Lenora? Wasn't she always saying how she felt guilty toward Lenora? Zachary would rather believe he was overthinking things.

After much thought, Zachary dialed Susanna's number.

The call connected swiftly, and Susanna's joyous voice floated through the receiver. "Zack! Have you had dinner yet?"

"I just ate. Are you still on set or at the hotel now?"

"At the hotel. We finished filming quite early today. Is something the matter?"

"Susanna, I have a question for you. I need you to answer me honestly."

Susanna's heart skipped a beat, and when she next spoke, her tone was wary. "What is it?"

"Did you post something on your Instagram the night before last?"

The voice on the other end fell silent.

With that. Zachary understood what had happened. His expression was grim as he asked, "That post is only visible to Lenora, isn't it? Why?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then Susanna's voice came through, choked with tears. "Zack, Zack, it was me, please don't hate me, okay? I... I was just so scared of losing you! That day, when you told me you might fall for Lenora and not divorce her and would send me abroad, I was really scared! I was scared of being apart from you. I didn't know what to do, and in a momentary lapse of clarity, I posted that message on my social media. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"

From what she knew, Lenora would never willingly show Zachary that post, which was why she had dared to act so recklessly. However, she hadn't expected that Zachary would still replace out.

Zachary fell silent.

Upon seeing that post, the image of Susanna in his heart began to undergo a subtle change.

Over the receiver, Susanna was still rambling on, pleading for his forgiveness..

"Zack. Zack, can you forgive me? I can go apologize to Lenora right now. Just please don't abandon me! I can't live without you!"

"Just this once. Delete that post."

"Yes, all right, I'm deleting it now. Zack, you've forgiven me, haven't you? I'm sorry, Zack, I've let you down. How could I treat Lenora like this? I've hurt her again; she must absolutely despise me now."

"She probably didn't see it, so there's no need for you to blame yourself. Just keep your distance from her in the future."

"I understand."

Despite Susanna's verbal agreement, inwardly, she felt a touch of reluctance.

It's a shame that Lenora didn't see that post.

After ending the call, Zachary refreshed the Instagram feed using Lenora's phone, only to replace that the post had already disappeared.

He let out a soft sigh.

In this way, Lenora probably wouldn't know that he had left that night, right?

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Zachary stepped forward to open the door, and sure enough, it was Lenora

She looked at him. "I think I left my phone here."

"Indeed you did." Zachary handed her phone back to her.

"Thank you." Lenora turned to leave, but then she paused as though suddenly remembering something. "By the way, could you do me a favor?" "Come in and speak," he said.

After closing the door, Zachary said, "Just speak your mind. Is there any need for formalities between us?"

"Can I take a picture of you to post on my Instagram?"

Zachary's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth. "You want to post my picture on social media?"

Could it be that she had already seen Susanna's post?

Lenora explained, "While we were in the car, Liam asked me if I had a boyfriend, expressing his interest in pursuing me. I told him I was already taken, but he didn't believe me. I'm worried he won't give up, so I want to discourage him with your photo. Don't worry, I won't reveal your face." Previously, there was a male colleague at the company who was incessantly pestering Lenora. He constantly hounded Lenora until Zachary stepped in and had him transferred.

Upon hearing this, Zachary immediately agreed, "Sure. How would you like it taken?"

"I want to take a more intimate photo, one that's believable."

All right.

"How about this? I'll lay in your embrace while you wrap one arm around me. I'll hold up my phone to take a selfie, so that will only capture you from your chin downward. Is that okay?"

"Sure. Let's take it on the bed."

The two of them arranged themselves on the bed. Lenora took several pictures, and in the end, selected one that she was satisfied with.

In the photo, her face was at the center. Beside her, one could easily tell, was a man in a bathrobe, his chest, half exposed. His collarbone and neck were visible, yet the shot cut off at his lower jaw so his face remained unseen.

"This one will do. But don't post it today. Wait until a couple of days after we return to post it."

If she were to upload it today, their colleagues would surely guess it was him.

"Okay. Then, I'm heading back first."

With her phone in hand, Lenora left with a spring in her step.

Zachary watched her slightly cheerful gait, his brow furrowed in annoyance.

In her mind, he was truly just a backdrop, ruthlessly discarded once she had no more use for him.

Lenora returned to her own room, settled down on the bed, and opened up Susanna's Instagram page.

She tried to look for the post from the day before yesterday, but she couldn't replace it anymore.

Did she delete it? Even so, I still want to disgust her and make her miserable.

The photo she took with Zachary earlier actually wasn't intended for Liam but rather for Susanna. She was certain it would utterly disgust Susanna. Moreover, she had a legitimate reason. Even if Susanna threw a tantrum at Zachary, he wouldn't order Lenora to delete the post.

She could hardly wait to see Susanna's reaction.
