Chapter 516 A Grudge

Inside the car, the atmosphere was quiet and still.

Taking advantage of the brief pause at the red light, Zachary turned his head to glance at Lenora.

She leaned back against the chair, turning her gaze out the window, leaving him with a view of the back of her head.

From the moment she got in the car, she had maintained that posture.

She didn't utter a single word to him.

Zachary touched his nose.

As they were passing through the downtown food street, he cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "Do you want to grab some late-night snacks?" Lenora remained silent.

Zachary didn't ask any more questions.

The car pulled into the underground parking garage of Nova Residences.

Without uttering another word, Lenora unbuckled her seatbelt and tried to exit the car, but the door wouldn't budge. She turned her head and glanced at Zachary. Zachary leaned in and asked, "Nora, are you still upset?"

"Open the door. Let me out," Lenora said indifferently.

Zachary seemed to turn a deaf ear, closing in on her even more. His large hand gripped her chin, and he gave her a peck on her lips.

"You..." Lenora glared at him angrily, rubbing her lips a few times.

"If you're still upset, I'll keep kissing you."

Lenora's eyes widened in surprise.

The two of them locked eyes, caught in a stalemate.

Zachary leaned in, intending to kiss her once again.

Quickly leaning back, Lenora pressed herself against the car window, a blush of embarrassment on her face. "All right. I'm not mad anymore!" she declared.

Zachary raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on her ears, which were flushed a deep red. He then flashed a half-smile.

He knew then she wasn't angry but was instead embarrassed.

Lenora glanced away, murmuring softly, "Open the door quickly. I need to go back."

"Let me take you up there."

Zachary unlocked the car, pushed the door open, and stepped out. He then walked around to the other side and pulled the car door open. His hand hovered over the top of the door, ready to prevent her from bumping her head. Upon reaching the entrance of the eighteenth floor, Lenora cast him a glance, saying, "All right. You can go now."

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Zachary looked at her.
