Zachary shook his head. "If Aunt Tamara truly cared about Hattie, she wouldn't force her away from just because of her own likes and dislikes." you

Lenora would never harm Harrietta, nor would she lead her astray. Harrietta also liked Lenora, so there was no issue with them being together. Lenora chuckled. "It's only natural. If it were my child, I wouldn't let anyone I disliked get close either. There's no need to be overly harsh."

After hearing Lenora's words and recalling Tamara's insult toward Lenora, Zachary furrowed his brows. "If Hattie is willing to stay, I will register her as my daughter. In order to ensure her healthy growth, I will register you as her mother when the time comes." Lenora was taken aback for a moment, staring blankly at Zachary.

Zachary remained expressionless. "It's something I've thought long and hard about. What do you think?"

Their marriage was not widely known to outsiders. If they were to announce that Harrietta was their daughter, no one would have any doubts.

To dodge the gossip of outsiders, this was perhaps the best decision.

Lenora nodded. "Okay, but it's still too early to discuss this now."

Harrietta's month-long vacation hardly seemed enough to make her abandon four years in Lofbury.

Zachary looked at Lenora unwaveringly.

Only when they were talking about Harrietta could they sit down and converse so peacefully.

Zachary studied Lenora's expression attentively and asked, "I heard from Hattie that you had arranged to have a meal with Connor today?"

For a fleeting moment, he wanted to ask her directly if she was in love with Connor.

Yet, in the end, the question was never asked.

He backed away.

He wouldn't know what to do if she said yes.

"Yeah." Lenora didn't notice the subtle shift in the conversation as she reached into the bag on the table, pulling out a cup of coffee. "Here, Hattie said this is for you." Zachary glanced at it and flashed a faint smile. "You know I don't drink this."

When Connor's name came up, her face remained expressionless.

He breathed a soft sigh of relief, realizing she probably didn't fancy Connor, or at least her feelings hadn't reached that level.

Of course, Lenora knew.

Even when she tried to remind Harrietta, the young girl would always find new ways to buy more.
