"I'm not going," Lenora said expressionlessly.

Zachary simply didn't allow her to refuse. "I'll come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

He turned to leave, and before he did, he reminded Harrietta, "Hattie, listen to Aunt Lenora, all right?"

Harrietta gave a nod.

As she watched Zachary leave and the door close behind him, she tilted her head back and asked curiously, "Aunt Lenora, what is a cocktail party?"

"It's a gathering where many people get together to drink."

"Can I go?" Harrietta looked at Lenora with a face full of anticipation.

Lenora shook her head with a smile. "No."

"All right then."

Lenora glanced at the sky, then headed to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out a few ingredients to prepare dinner.

Halfway through, a crisp sound echoed from the entrance as Sophia pushed the door open. She tossed her bag onto the couch and called out, "Cotton, where are you?" "Cotton is here!"

Harrietta poked her head out from behind the couch, gazing curiously at Sophia. "You must be Ms. Tortell that Aunt Lenora mentioned, right? Ms. Tortell, you're so beautiful!"

Upon seeing Harrietta, Sophia immediately recognized her. She walked over and said, "You're Hattie, right? You sure have a sweet way with words." She then gently petted Cotton a few times. "Why don't you play with Cotton? I'll go help your aunt with the cooking." After she finished speaking, she made her way to the kitchen. There she found Lenora engrossed in chopping vegetables. She walked over, nudged her with her elbow, and whispered, "Nora, why didn't you send her home?" "She's sleeping with me tonight."

"Huh?" Surprised, Sophia looked out. "What were you thinking? She's Zachary's niece. By having her around, you'll never be able to sever ties with Zachary."

Lenora's hands froze.

She was well aware of that.

She even suspected that Zachary's plan to keep Harrietta in the country, register her under his household, and make her Harrietta's mother in name, was simply a tactic to keep her tied to him.

However, whenever she faced Harrietta, she inevitably found her heart softening. She simply couldn't bring herself to be harsh.

Sophia let out a sigh. "The little girl is adorable, but what you're doing is akin to seeking temporary relief
