Upon seeing the two engaged in conversation, Harrietta huffed lightly, rising from her seat to head to the bathroom.

She quietly dialed Zachary's number and whispered, "Uncle Zachary, I'm at Aunt Lenora's house right now."

"Shall I come to pick you up now?" Zachary's voice came through the phone.

"Yeah... Uncle Zachary, I... I feel..."

""What is it?"

"I feel like you're running out of chances."

Zachary was silent for a moment before he asked, "What happened when you all were having your meal today?"

"Aunt Lenora was so engrossed in her conversation with him that she completely ignored me. After dinner, he invited her to a movie, and she didn't turn him down," Harrietta answered truthfully.

Zachary was quiet for a few moments. "Is there anything else?"

Could it be that Lenora actually had feelings for Connor?

He had a feeling that something was off, though.

"Also, I wanted to trick him into forking out more money, so I ordered a few more dishes. Aunt Lenora, however, told me not to target him. She said... she said he might become my uncle in the future, and if I continue this way, she'll distance herself from me. Then, they just agreed to have a meal together next time. Oh, and Connor even hugged Aunt Lenora!"

Although technically, it was because Aunt Lenora stumbled and nearly fell.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Harrietta was just about to say something more when a voice suddenly came from outside. "Hattie, are you not done yet?"

Hastily, Harrietta called out, "Aunt Lenora, I'm in the middle of pooping! It stinks!"

"Ah, okay. Let me know when you're done. I'll help you clean up."

Harrietta's face flushed red. "Aunt Lenora, I can do it myself!"

Hmph, how could Aunt Lenora underestimate me so?

Listening to the sound of footsteps fading away outside, Harrietta whispered to her wristwatch, "Uncle- Zachary, Aunt Lenora is really going to run away. You need to think of something quickly. I need to hang up now." She poked at her watch screen with her chubby little finger, ending the call.

Upon hearing the toilet flushing, Lenora glanced up to see Harrietta emerging from the bathroom. With a smile, she praised, "Good job for cleaning up after yourself, Hattie!"
