Chapter 893

"Ave, look over there!" Selena's voice called out suddenly.

Aveline turned her head and spotted Zachary walking toward them, his pace steady and calm.

Surprised, she stood up and made her way over.

"Zachary, you're here too."

He smiled warmly. "Yeah, Lucas sent me an invite. Said it's been a while since we've seen each other, and that you've been through a lot lately. Figured you might miss me, so here I am."

Aveline glanced over at Lucas, who was chatting with Aaron, and felt a wave of warmth. She turned back to Zachary with a smile. "I did miss you. It's been too long. How've you been?"

Zachary nodded. "Pretty good. The redevelopment project in Arthur Town is moving along smoothly. The orphanage is part of the plan, and we've already got two volunteer teachers there. The kids are doing much better now." Aveline pictured the scene and felt a sense of contentment. She nodded. "That's wonderful to hear. Come, let's sit over there."

"Sure," Zachary agreed.
