Chapter 319 A Mix Of Love And Resentment
*TO Free Coins
Once upon a time, when Lenora was studying abroad, be indeed had a soft spot for her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such special care of her
She knew of his passion for photography, and he had noticed her natural flair in the same field. He once suggested that she should consider learning photography, but she declined.
However, for reasons unknown, Lenora had grown distant from him afterward and even moved out of the apartment he had recommended.
Afterward, Lenora returned to her homeland, erasing all his contact information, resulting in a complete loss of communication between the two.
The slight affection he felt for her wasn’t enough to compel him to return to his country with her. Gradually, he pushed thoughts of her to the back of his mind.
Until one day, after work, he opened his phone’s group that and saw a familiar account. Perhaps it was because her account wasn’t used much in recent years, her profile picture and nickname had never changed.
He was actually one of the organizers as well as one of the judges for Smada International Photography, Competition.
Ezekiel hadn’t anticipated that he and Lenora would cross paths again due to photography, let alone that Lenora would sign up for his photography class.
It was then that he realized, she had lost her memory, forgetting about the year they spent studying
abroad.
At that time, Ezekiel was somewhat melancholic, suggesting a gathering to seek inspiration, but in reality, he didn’t have many thoughts about it.
However, upon discovering that she was the ex–wife of his half–brother, Zachary, who shared the same father but different mothers, his feelings had unconsciously shifted…
Ezekiel’s gaze fell upon Lenora’s face.
Her checks were subtly flushed, her eyes moist and misty, with a slight reddening at the corners, exuding a charm that was usually absent.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
“No, I want to drink more.”
Lenora picked up the readily available glass of wine before him and downed it in one go.
Immediately. Ezekiel rose to his feet, gripping her wrist with one hand. He snatched the half–filled wine glass from her grasp. “Stop drinking!”
Lenora glared at him, reaching for the bottle of wine on the table. “I’m going to drink!”
That detestable Zachary!

She took back the few minutes of forgiveness she had granted him.
Lenora had just taken two sips from the bottle, when Ezekiel snatched it away, setting it far away from her.
“Give it to me!”
Meeting her pleading eyes, filled with an air of accusation, Ezekiel hesitated for a moment. Then, steeling his heart, he said, “You can’t drink anymore, I’ll take you home.”
“No, don’t concern yourself with me.
“Don’t be stubborn.”
“I refuse, Zachary, you’re so annoying.”
Ezekiel grabbed Lenora’s arm, pulling her up.
Lenora’s other hand was tightly clutching the table.
With a sense of resignation. Ezekiel let go, “All right, go ahead and drink.”
He retrieved the bottle of wine and the glass, setting them down in front of Lenora.
With a hint of suspicion in her gaze, Lenora looked at him, then lifted her wine glass. Slowly, she brought it to her lips.
While sipping, she glanced up at him.
It seemed as if she was waiting to see if he would stop her again.
Ezekiel couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.
The intoxicated Lenora was somewhat different from when she was sober, much more endearing, and significantly more willful.
After finishing half the cup, Lenora let out a long sigh, her head drooping down. She raised her hand to rub her throbbing brow.
Once she was sure he wouldn’t interrupt her again, Lenora poured herself another full glass. She savored it slowly, taking one sip after another.
Ezekiel settled himself back down across from her. “Why the drinking? Something bothering you?”
Lenora paused for a moment, a foolish smile graced his lips. She lifted her gaze to him and murmured. “Zachary, don’t you know? How could you not know…”
Ezekiel kept quiet.
So, it was related to Zachary
Was she really fond of Zachary?
Not long ago, Zachary was still entangled with Susanna, how could he possibly be worthy of her?

Ezekiel ran his tongue over his back teeth. “Did I upset you?”

Lenora leisurely set down her wine glass, her gaze fixed on the tabletop. She remained silent for a long time before she finally murmured, “Zachary, you truly make me feel a mix of love and resentment…
As she spoke, her voice quivered slightly, carrying a hint of a sob.
Ezekiel’s fingers twitched slightly.
Ezekiel didn’t say much more. He watched as she drank some more wine, tipsy enough to slump over the table, yet insisting on continuing to drink.
After making a round, Ezekiel climbed into the passenger seat.
The driver started the car, heading toward the hotel where Ezekiel resided.
Ezekiel picked up the phone. His secretary’s voice came through from the other end, “Sir, Mrs. Hoffman and Ms. Lovestone have arrived in Jacaster. They’re currently at the hotel. Mrs. Hoffman wishes to see you”
Without uttering another word, the secretary hung up the phone.
