After Connor had left, all the delicious dishes on the table were left for Lenora and Harrietta.
Lenora felt a small sense of relief in her heart, relieved that Connor had left and she no longer had to face him through the meal.
Harrietta was also quite delighted, cheerfully enjoying the food.
With traces of oil lingering on the corners of her mouth and the juice from the peeled shrimp smeared on her small hands, she tilted her head up to address Lenora, “Aunt Lenora, isn’t it lunchtime now? He sure seems busy.”
“He needs to work to earn money.”
“But then he won’t have time to be with you. Aren’t you lonely, Aunt Lenora? My uncle, on the other hand, is wealthy and has plenty of time…”
Lenora popped a large shrimp into her mouth. “Even eating doesn’t seem to quiet you.”
“Mmph!” Harrietta gently pulled the shrimp from her mouth, murmuring, “I’m just saying the truth.”
“Yet you seem to be enjoying the feast he treated you to…”
“My heart belongs to my uncle,” Harrietta said earnestly. “How could a single meal possibly sway me? This pork chop is top–notch though.”
Lenora couldn’t find the words to respond to that.
Roughly twenty minutes had passed when Lenora picked up her phone and sent a message to Connor: Have you reached the office yet? Don’t forget to eat something once you’re done with work. Stanley isn’t that strict.
She had to make sure she put on a good performance, down to the last detail.
After a long while, Connor finally responded: Just saw your message. Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Wilkin.
Connor: I’m truly sorry about today. I didn’t expect to suddenly have work.
Lenora: Don’t worry about it; unexpected things happen all the time. We can have a meal together some other time.
Connor: Ms. Wilkin, are you free this Saturday?
Lenora deduced his intention and replied: Yes.
Connor: Can I take you out for lunch that day?
Lenora: Sure.
Connor sent an excited emoji: All right, see you on Saturday.
Lenora: See you on Saturday.
Harrietta was engrossed in stuffing her mouth when she noticed Lenora fiddling with her phone. She peeked at the screen before her lips pursed into a pout, and she let out a huff.
Lenora glanced at her, pinching her puffy little face. “What’s wrong?”

“Aunt Lenora, I want to go with you on Saturday,” Harrietta stated, tilting her little face up stubbornly.
“To be the third wheel?”
“Hmph, I don’t care! I’m going.”
“All right, all right, I’ll take you there.”
If she had to face Connor alone for one or two hours, she might not be able to keep up the act.
Taking Harrietta along was a good idea, as she could use taking care of the girl as an excuse to distract herself.
After they had finished eating, Lenora took Harrietta to the zoo.
The Jacaster Zoo was divided into eastern and western sections. The western section was densely packed with attractions, while the castern section encompassed half a mountain, split into two major areas. One area was home to the lions, while the other housed the tigers.
The tigers were white tigers, looking majestic and imposing.
At the exit of the zoo, they sold tiger plushies as souvenirs. There were three different designs, all soft, chubby, and incredibly adorable.
Harrietta halted in front of the stall, lifting her face to gaze at Lenora, her eyes glistening like pools of
water.
“You want them?”
Poking her fingers together, Harrietta nodded vigorously.
“Then I’ll get them for you.”
With the three chubby tiger plushies in her possession, Harrietta excitedly hugged them to her. “Thank you, Aunt Lenora! Muacks!”
Even once they got in the car, Harrietta was still clutching the plushies, clearly enamored with them.
“Aunt Lenora, are we going to eat now?”
“Yeah. How about some barbecue, does that sound good?”
“Yes!”
In the end. Harrietta had played so hard that she was exhausted. She hadn’t slept at noon, and before they even reached the restaurant, she was already dozing off in the back seat. Her eyelids were engaged in a constant battle to stay open as she mumbled. “I’m so tired, Aunt Lenora I really want to sleep”
After giving it some thought, Lenora realized that it wasn’t good to sleep right after eating, so she sat “Hattie, hang in there for a bit longer, then you can sleep when we get home. We can have barbecue another day”
“M’kay…”
Harrietta’s voice was a mere murmur. Slumping in the back seat, she could no longer keep her eyes open.

With that, Lenora made her way to Galaxy Bay
The car pulled up at the front of the mansion.
Lenora stepped out from the driver’s seat, opened the back door of the car, and leaned over to lift Harrietta into her arms-
Goodness, she’s really heavy!
