After they had ordered their meal, Harrietta mentioned she needed to use the restroom. The restroom was

located within the restaurant, so Lenora didn't give it much thought and simply let her go on her own.

Upon reaching the restroom stall, Harrietta helplessly opened her watch and dialed Zachary's number.

"Hey, Hattie, have you guys reached the restaurant?" Zachary's voice cthrough the receiver.

"Uh-huh," Harrietta replied glumly.

Zachary sensed something was amiss. "Hattie, what's wrong? Are you upset?"

"Uncle Zachary, Aunt Lenora mentioned that we are dining with Connor today."

Zachary's expression subtly shifted.

Lenora was gentle to everyone; only toward him was she so demanding.

Harrietta said with a sense of defeat, "Aunt Lenora clearly said yesterday that she didn't want to respond. Who

knew she would actually fool me? She even said she likes Connor and that, if nothing unexpected happens, he'll

be my uncle-in- law. Uncle Zachary, what should we do? Aunt Lenora is planning to run away!"

Zachary's face darkened completely. "Hattie, did Lenora really say that?"

Didn't Lenora have feelings for Jonas? How did she suddenly start liking Connor?

How long had she known Connor, and how many times had they met?

He didn't believe she was the type to change her affections so easily!

"Yeah, she did, Uncle Zachary. | didn't lie to you."

"Hattie, don't worry. I'll figure something out. | won't let your Aunt Lenora be taken away."

"I believe in you, Uncle Zachary! You must give it your all!"

Harrietta suddenly burst into a joyful grin, happily ending the phone call. When she returned to the private room,

she unexpectedly found an additional man inside.

The man was seated across from Lenora, his handsfeatures radiating charm. He was laughing as he

conversed with Lenora, his adorable little canine teeth visible. It was none other than Connor. Harrietta curled

her lips.

How could this man ever compare to Uncle Zachary? He isn't as handsor as tall. He's also skinny as a

stickand certainly not as wealthy as Uncle Zachary. How did Aunt Lenora end up falling for such a man? The

opening and closing of the door interrupted Connor's words.

He turned his head to look at the delicately beautiful little girl standing at the door and smiled gently. "Little

miss, have you perhaps wandered into the wrong room?"

Harrietta shook her head, taking a seat next to Lenora. "I didn't walk into the wrong room."

With an apologetic tone, Lenora said to Connor, "I'm sorry, this is my niece Harrietta Fuller. She's on holiday here

in the country. I'll be looking after her these next few days. You don't mind, do you?" Connor quickly responded,

"Not at all, not at all, Ms. Wilkin. Your little niece is truly adorable!"

Lenora turned to Harrietta. "Hattie, Mr. Morris just complimented you, saying you're adorable. Aren't you going to

thank him?"

Harrietta tilted her head back, her face wearing an innocent expression as she asked, "Aunt Lenora, why should |

call him Mr. Morris? Shouldn't | call him by name? He looks much younger than you!" Lenora was rendered

speechless.

Connor said with a smile, "You can callConnor, but just know that I'm not much younger than your aunt."

It was easy to understand why Harrietta called Lenora Aunt Lenora. Given that Harrietta's surnwas Fuller,

she should be Zachary's niece, hence the reason she addressed Lenora as her Aunt Lenora. She probably hadn't

gotten used to addressing Lenora another way "Connor, I've been abroad for quite stand haven't had

much chance to try local dishes, so | ordered a lot just now. Aunt Lenora mentioned you're footing the bill, but

you don't mind, do you?"

Lenora glanced down at Harrietta, who was sitting next to her. She was dangling her short legs from the L chair,

her big eyes blinking innocently, her face the picture of pure harmlessness.

Nevertheless, Lenora detected something odd about Harrietta's words.

This little girl is too clever for her own good.

Connor chuckled, assuring her, "I don't mind. | just returned from abroad and am eager to try slocal cuisine

too."

Harrietta tilted her head to the side and asked curiously, "Connor, do you also live abroad?"

"| used to but | just moved back here recently."

A glint flashed in Lenora's eyes. This was the perfect opportunity.

In a casual tone, she asked, "Why did your family decide to move abroad back then?"

"I think it was because my dad was transferred there. It's been so long that | can't remember clearly

"What does he do for a living?"

""He's in the hrenovation business."

Without missing a beat, Lenora subtly changed the subject. "Right, go on about your recent internship at Fuller

Group."

"Oh, it's only my third day now, so | haven't really started working yet. The manager hadfamiliarize myself

with the company's rules and regulations, as well as the software projects at hand, for the past two days. The

project I'm interning on is a mobile game, quite a cre 2/4

With a chuckle, Lenora said, "I feel like taking a break for now, so no, | don't plan on accepting this project. What

do you think of the company so far?"

"The experience is quite pleasant. Although I'm just an intern,

the manager and my seniors are very friendly. The concerns | initially had about being ordered around to fetch

takeouts or make coffee never materialized. After getting to know my colleagues' educational backgrounds and

experiences, | realized they're all incredibly talent Connor accidentally said too much.

Given that he was fairly satisfied with all aspects of the company, why did he mention being a newcomer and

having work-related questions for her?

Lenora didn't point it out directly. "It seems like you're quite pleased with Fuller Group."

Connor chuckled.

The waiter began serving the dishes, one after the other.

"Hattie, what would you like to eat? I'll serve you," Lenora asked.

Harrietta craned her little head, looking over the dishes before pointing her chubby finger at one. "I want to eat

that pork chop!"

Lenora served her two pieces of pork chop.

"Ms. Wilkin, have stoo." Connor offered Lenora a piece of maple-glazed ribs.

With a warm and gentle smile, Lenora said, "Thank you."

Picking up the maple-glazed rib, she brought it to her mouth and began to nibble on it.

Upon seeing that, Harrietta lost even her appetite for pork chops.

She remembered when Zachary had served Lenora sgrilled fish yesterday, Lenora hadn't eaten any of it.

Connor was extremely delighted.

He initially thought that Lenora would ignore him.

Did this suggest that Lenora actually had a certain degree of fondness for him?

Suddenly, Connor's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression turning serious as he turned to Lenora. "Ms. Wilkin, it's, our manager

calling. | need to take this."

With an understanding and considerate tone, Lenora said, "Go ahead. | hope there's nothing serious

Connor stepped outside, phone in hand.

Harrietta let out a soft huff. "Aunt Lenora, why do you even like him? He's nowhere near as good as Uncle

Zachary."

"In what way?"

"Face, figure, money."

Lenora sighed helplessly. "Hattie, I've told you before, when it comes to choosing a partner, you can't just

consider their appearance. You also have to consider their personality and inner qualities. Even if your uncle is a

great man, our personalities clash, and we can't be to "All right then," Harrietta pouted, "I'm just a kid, | can't

argue with you."

Lenora could only stare at her speechlessly.

A few minutes later, Connor returned, his face filled with regret. He said to Lenora, "Ms. Wilkin, I'm sorry, but |

have to go back to the office now."

With concern in her voice, Lenora asked, "What happened?"

"There was a minor issue with the project, and the manager assigneda task. This is the first project-related

task he's giving me."

Lenora understood that once he officially started working on the project, he wanted to demonstrate a positive

attitude. He aimed to complete the project smoothly and successfully, leaving a good impression on his

manager. "Then you should hurry up and go. Oh, by the way, do you want to take sof these dishes with

you?"

"No need for that. I've already paid the bill, so you and Hattie can take your teating."

When he had gone to pay the bill, the amount shown had him mourning the loss of his money. However, Connor

was even less willing to show weakness and lose face in front of Zachary's niece.

He may not have been as handsas Zachary, nor did he have his physique or wealth. However, there was

one aspect in which he undoubtedly surpassed Zachary: his love for Lenora. Unlike Zachary, he would never

stray.

While others might treat their wives well, perhaps giving half of what they could, his love toward Lenora. was the

sort where if he had a hundred, he would give a hundred.

Sighing, Lenora wanted to say something more, but Connor had already left.

Meanwhile, after Stanley ended his call with Connor, he sent a message to Zachary: | did as you instructed.

Now he needed to find a task for Connor.
