She had never seen Zachary so gentle. In three years of marriage, his demeanor toward her had always been indifferent.
She often comforted herself, convincing herself that he was just that kind of
person.
She had told too many lies until she started to believe them.
Now, she saw it clearly. He was capable of acting tenderly, but only in front of another
woman.
They passed by her car, but he didn’t even notice it. After all, he never paid any attention to her, let alone her car.
“Mrs. Fuller, you’re back. For dinner, what would you…”
Miranda glimpsed tears in Lenora’s eyes. Before she could finish her question, Lenora went into her room directly. She dared not ask questions.
Drained of strength, Lenora leaned against the door. Her throat felt sour and bitter.
She had endured it all day, but now she couldn’t hold back. Her vision quickly blurred as tears filled her gaze, streaming down her checks.
Her heart ached a lot. It was painful.
Having experienced the bitterness of growing up in a single–parent family after her parents got a divorce, she didn’t want her baby to suffer the same fate.
Alas, she didn’t know what to do now.

After a moment, Lenora grunted in response half–heartedly and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
When she came out, she suddenly remembered Zachary’s message.
He said he brought her a gift from his business trip.
What could it be?

Chapter 5 Can We Not Divorce
Lenora went to the closet, found his suitcase, and opened it.
It was an album signed personally by her favorite foreign singer, not any jewelry.
Lenora embraced it as hope rose in her initially desolate heart.
I’m not a complete failure, right?
He should have stayed overnight at Susanna’s place last night. I should’ve been mentally prepared for this. But why does it feel like someone had hollowed out a part of my heart, leaving it bleeding?
Tell him? Do I tell him I don’t want a divorce? He bought me a gift, and he didn’t spend the night with Susanna. Does that imply he has some feelings for me? If I try to make him stay, will he agree?
