Chapter 225 This Will Be The Last Time

Zachary's eyes were vacant and unfocused as if he was lost in reminiscence of something.

He turned to look at Lenora with a meaningful gaze.

Lenora shot him a glare. You perv!

Instead of getting angry, Zachary gave a low chuckle, sending shivers down Lenora's spine.

She quickly changed the subject. "Hattie, do you have homework to do?"

Harrietta tilted her head back, blinked, and said, "I do, but they are too easy."

"All right."

"Uncle Zachary, do I have to go home now? I'd like to go to the cocktail party too." Harrietta looked up at Zachary, shaking his arm.

"Hattie, be good. Let's get you home first. When I return, I'll bring you some cake."

"I don't want cake. I want to go to the cocktail party."

"No."

"Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Harrietta pouted, turning her face away. She scooted toward Lenora, wrapping her arms around her. "Aunt Lenora, I want to sleep with you tonight." Lenora was on the verge of agreeing.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she gently declined, "Hattie, I might come back really late tonight. Would you be okay sleeping by yourself?"

Harrietta's expression remained unchanged. "I can wait for you."

"But I can't take care of you if I come back late."

"I can take care of myself. I can wash my face and brush my teeth on my own. I can even undress myself. If you come back too late, I'll just go to bed first!"

Lenora remained silent.

Harrietta pouted, looking at her with a pitiful gaze. "Aunt Lenora, do you not like me anymore? Are you finding me annoying?"

Looking into her dewy, large eyes, Lenora quickly reassured her, "Of course not. I like you, Hattie "You're lying! You're just fed up with me! Please, Aunt Lenora, don't hate me. I'm very well-behaved!" Harrietta sobbed, covering her face with her hands.

A wave of bitterness washed over Lenora. She gently patted Harrietta's shoulder, encircling her with her arms. "Hattie, I don't hate you! Don't cry. I didn't say you can't stay."

"Really? You must be lying to me." Harrietta's voice was choked with emotion.

"Really!" Lenora nodded. She put her head against Harrietta's and said affectionately, "I'm not lying to
