Chapter 437 Was Lenora Too Harsh On Zachary

"No need," Lenora rejected outright, shouting toward the door.

Zachary, however, remained persistent. "I made your favorite pancake and yam and beans oatmeal."

"You can eat them yourself. Don't bother me," she snapped.

"Nora, can you please open the door? You wouldn't want me to keep knocking endlessly, would you?"

A vein pulsed on Lenora's forehead. She strode to the door, swung it open, and glared at him. "Zachary, what exactly do you want? I've already told you not to bother me anymore. Don't you understand?"

Zachary stood there looking innocent, holding a food container in one hand and a phone in the other. "Nora, I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do. Please, just listen to what Elijah has to say. I promise, once you hear him out, I'll leave and won't disturb you again." Lenora's heart tightened.

To avoid being exposed, she had already sent Elijah away. Yet, Zachary had somehow contacted him.

During her time in Fairlake, Elijah had been quietly watching over Lenora, and no one knew better than him that she didn't have a boyfriend.

What's more, Lenora was already aware that Elijah had been secretly protecting her, which indicated that she trusted Zachary's account of what had happened.

If Elijah had exposed her lie to Zachary, he wouldn't be reacting like this at all. So clearly, Elijah hadn't said anything. But why?

Feeling slightly relieved, Lenora raised her gaze to Zachary. "You swear you'll keep your word?"

"Of course."

Lenora took the phone from him and placed it against her ear. "Hello, Elijah?"

"It's me." Elijah's voice came through, the phone on speaker mode. "Lenora, you've misunderstood Zachary. Everything he told you is true. During your time in Fairlake, I've been watching over you the entire time. I know everywhere you've been and everything you've done. If you don't believe me, test me. Ask me anything, and I'll answer."
