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

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

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Zachary parker the car, stepping our gracefully in his sleek suit and polished shoes. His tall, lean frame, combined with broad shoulders and a slim waist, caught the attention of a few onlookers.
