Jonas glanced at Lenora with affection. "She was my neighbor when we were kids. Always a crybaby." "Childhood sweethearts, huh? That's sweet. Let me know if things get serious between you two."

"Mr. Chance. Nora and 1 are just friends," Jonas clarified

He knew he had to tread carefully since Lenora now hal a boyfriend.

"I get it, I get it. You young folks prefer calling yourselves just friends," Avery added.

Zachary, seated nearby, cast a glance in their direction, his expression cool and distant. His brow furrowed slightly as he watched them together, and his thoughts grew heavy. I warned her to stay away from Jonas. Why won't she listen? Is she really that taken with him? "Zack."

"Zack?"

"Yes? What did you say?" Zachary came back to his senses and looked at Susanna.

Susanna's eyes darkened momentarily as she leaned in to whisper in Zachary's ear. "Don't you think Nora and Jonas make a good pair? If you two were to divorce, it'll be nice to see if she ends up with Jonas."

Zachary shook his head without hesitation. "No. They're not right for each other."

"What makes you say so?"

"I can tell from the way they work and their personalities."

Watching Zachary and Susanna whispering so closely, Lenora felt a tinge of bitterness in her chest. She lowered her gaze, trying to hide the emotions swirling inside her.

Everyone relaxed, dropping formalities, and started eating.

Jonas first added a piece of beignet to Lenora's plate. "Try this."

"Thank you."

Taking a bite, Lenora found it delightfully crunchy, with a hint of caramel flavor. "Not bad."

After finishing the beignet, she finally reached for her fork..

Jonas kept an attentive eye on Leñora, occasionally placing food on her plate.

Meanwhile, Zachary observed their interaction, his expression growing darker by the moment.

"Zack, could you help me with that? I can't quite reach it." Susanna said, a flicker of shadow passing through her gaze.
