From a distance, Zachary caught Lenora's gaze and met her eyes. "I don't have any specific plans," he said evenly, though his expression remained unreadable, Tamara, visibly surprised, pressed further. "Didn't Susanna come back to the country?"

"Yes," Zachary confirmed with a nod.

"And yet you're not divorcing her?"

"Aunt Tamara, I have my reasons," Zachary responded calmly.

Tamara sighed, shaking her head. "I just worry you're being treated unfairly, that's all. You're the pride of the Fuller family, the most outstanding among us. Your

wife should be someone who's either of equal social standing or from a family of nobility. Lenora... well, she simply doesn't measure up. How could you take pride in such a match? Your grandfather, too-he doesn't care who it is! He's just matchmaking you two at will" "Aunt Tamara," Zachary's voice grew firmer, "I don't feel wronged. Please, let's not bring this up again."

Tamara shot him a disapproving look. "Didn't you promise me before that you'd definitely divorce her?"

"Aunt Tamara!" Zachary cut her off sharply, casting a quick glance at Lenora, hoping she hadn't overheard the conversation.

Tamara noticed his glance and sighed. "Ah, you're getting older now, making decisions on your own." With that, she turned and left the living room, clearly disappointed.

Zachary returned to Lenora's side, sitting down next to her. "My aunt's always been like that-willful for as long as I can remember. Don't take it personally," he said with a small smile.

Lenora chuckled lightly. "I know. We only see each other twice a year at most, so I don't mind."

As the day drew to a close, Zachary decided to pick up Harrietta from school in place of Tamara, Lenora, not wanting to be left alone at the house in a tense silence with Tamara, opted to join him on the ride.

While they were driving, Lenora asked casually, "How old is Harrietta? What grade is she in?"

"She's four this year," Zachary replied. "Still in kindergarten."

Lenora raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Only four?"

She hadn't realized Tamara had adopted such a young child.

"Yes, Zachary said with a slight grin. "She calls my aunt Grandma' and me Uncle Zachary
