Just past three in the afternoon, Zachary returned home, looking weary. He headed straight.
the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. His eyes casually fell on a pile of gifts in the corner of the kitchen. He asked, “Miranda, did we have any visitors today?”
Miranda replied truthfully, “Mrs. Fuller’s friend visited today.”
Miranda seemed to want to say something, but then she stopped herself.
Zachary looked at her. “And then?”
“Mrs. Fuller asked me to refer to her as ‘Miss” in front of her friends.”
Zachary’s brow furrowed. “Her friend is a man?”
“Yes,”
Zachary had a hunch that this friend who had visited their home today was the one Lenora had feelings for.
It seems that Lenora is pretending to be unmarried in front of that person, which indicates that she must really like him. She’s probably afraid that he might reject her because she’s been married before.
Zachary held his water cup, took a sip, and then asked, “How is the man? I mean, what does he look like?”
“He seems to be a celebrity.”
Miranda didn’t really watch new dramas. She only found Jonas vaguely familiar but couldn’t recall his name.
Celebrity.
Zachary recalled that the last time at the entrance of the studio, that person was fully equipped with a face mask and hat, looking every bit like a celebrity.
Indeed, he’s the person Lenora likes.
Zachary took another sip of water, put down the cup, and headed straight upstairs.

outside the door. Turning her gaze toward the entrance, she saw Zachary pushing the door.
open.
If it were this time yesterday, Lenora would have been very happy to see Zachary return.
But now, Lenora had been waiting for too long. When Zachary returned, she didn’t feel much of a stir in her heart.
He must have returned at this time to get the divorce certificate with me tomorrow.
It seems he can’t wait any longer.
“Are you awake?” Zachary walked over and sat by the bed.
Lenora hummed in acknowledgment, sitting up from the bed. She was about to carefully phrase a question, asking why he hadn’t come back the night before yesterday and last night.
The moment she began to speak, she abruptly noticed that Zachary’s clothes were somewhat disheveled, especially his shirt, which had many more wrinkles than usual. Right at the collar, there was a faint trace of a lipstick mark.
Drawing closer slowly and taking a delicate sniff, she could catch the scent of a woman’s perfume on him.
She had interacted with Susanna before, and she was very clear that this was the perfume Susanna often wore.
In an instant, Lenora felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind a complete blank.
She had once imagined that Zachary and Susanna might already have been intimate with each other. But seeing it with her own eyes at this moment, Lenora still found it hard to accept.
Her nose tingled, and her eyes immediately reddened.
The lipstick mark on the collar was so glaring to Lenora at this moment. It felt like an unabashed taunt directed at her.
Lenora suddenly shouted, “Don’t come over.”
Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit Lenora, and she leaned over the edge of the bed, retching.
Zachary immediately brought a trash can over for Lenora.
His approach intensified Lenora’s reaction.
Zachary realized something. He turned his head to sniff his own shoulder and said to Lenora,

Lenora lay on the edge of the bed, dry heaving for a few minutes. Yet, nothing came out. Instead, it was her tears that were forced out.
Zachary went to take a bath and changed into a fresh set of clothes. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw that Lenora had already calmed down. He began to explain. “You misunderstood. There’s nothing going on between me and-”
“Zachary, I have something to tell you,” Lenora calmly interrupted him.
She knew Zachary’s nature. Before the official divorce, he wouldn’t have anything to do with Susanna. Otherwise, that lipstick mark wouldn’t have been on his clothes, but on him.
Since we’re both heading toward divorce, what’s the point in him explaining anything?
He will inevitably be with Susanna, sooner or later.
It’s just a matter of time.
“What is it?”
After a long while, Zachary finally asked, “Lenora, are you sure you want to quit?”
