Chapter 349 You Did Nothing Wrong

At noon on Sunday, Lenora and Zachary went to the Filler residence, bringing Harrietta with them.

Harrietta let go of Lenora's hand and dashed inside. "Great-grandma, I've cwith Unde Zachary and Aunt

Lenora to visit you!"

"Ah, Hattiel I've missed you terribly

Allison had been lounging on the recliner with her reading glasses on, reading the newspaper.

Hearing voices, she set down the newspaper and removed her glasses. As she walked toward the living room,

she waved at Harrietta and asked with a smile, "You cwith your Uncle Zachary and Aunt Lenora, did you?"

"Mm-hmm."

Harrietta's eyes sparkled as she

demeanor radiating an indescribable liveliness.

Allison bent down obligingly.

Leaning close to the elderly woman's ear, Harrietta whispered, "When | call her 'Aunt Lenora’ now, she doesn't

even argue about it anymore."

In the past, Aunt Lenora always referred to herself as my father's sister. But now... Hehehe....

"Good, good. That's great." Allison straightened up, a trace of a gratified smile spreading across her face.

Needless to say, it'd pleaseto see the two of them reconcile,

Allison liked seeing Harrietta being so cheeky, but when she noticed the little girl's eyes and brows that were

strikingly similar to Zachary's, her heart skipped a beat again.

Furthermore, Tamara's attitude toward Harrietta only served to deepen her suspicions about Harrietta's identity.

However, my suspicions can only remain as such. Until someone else brings it up, | can't mention it and turn my

suspicions into reality. Otherwise, what will becof Zachary and Lenora? Zachary and Lenora entered one

after the other, greeting Allison with warm smiles.

"My, my, how cboth of you ctogether today?

Allison gazed at the striking couple in front of her as she smiled and settled onto the couch. "Did you arrange it

beforehand?"

Hearing the teasing tone in Allison's voice, Lenora felt her tension case a little.

Zachary glanced at Lenora and responded with a smile "Grandma, you'd better not ask about this."

"Okay, okay, | won't ask anymore," cher reply.

Upon observing Lenora's evasive gaze and peculiar expression, she simply assumed that Lenora was feeling shy.

The housekeeper brought over sdrinks and fruits, and the pair sat down to chat with Allison.

Lenora could not help feeling increasingly tormented and ashamed as she listened to Allison speak with such

care and affection.

The fact that Allison knew nothing made Lenora feel even more distressed than if the former had been aware.

Nonetheless, she grappled with her inner turmoil as she could not let the older woman see how she felt

I'd rather she know the truth and berate me. Nonetheless, | understand that she's getting on in age and can't

withstand a heaty blow. Keeping it a secret from her is the most appropriate way.

After having lunch, they spent stwith Allison before departing.

With his hands on the steering wheel, Zachary glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Don't worry. Even if

Grandma finds out the truth in the future, she won't blyou."

"| just... Ah..." Lenora sighed.

There was no denying that Johanne was related to her father's death. However, Gerald and Allison were

completely unaware. They treated her as though she was their granddaughter, and she was terrified of breaking

their hearts. "Lenora, you did nothing wrong. If anyone fails to understand you or blames you for this, it only

proves that they're not on the swavelength as you and isn't someone you can form a deep friendship with."

She pressed her lips together, knowing that what he said was right

However, her childhood experiences had shaped her into a people-pleaser, especially when it cto friends

and family. Moreover, she no longer had any blood relatives left. Her relationship with Nathan and Griselda was

distant at best, and Allison was the only elder she had left in her life. Hence, what Allison thought of her was of

utmost importance.

"Uncle Zachary, Aunt Lenora, what are you talking about?" Harrietta asked curiously, tilting her face upward.

Zachary chuckled. "Your Aunt Lenora did something and is scared that your Great-grandma won't be happy

about it."

Upon hearing that, Harrietta leaned into Lenora's arms and looked up at the latter, saying with a grin. "Don't be

scared. I'll always be on your side. If Great-grandma gets mad at you, I'll help to persuade her!

As Lenora listened to Harrietta's innocent assurances and gazed at the latter's delicate, flawless skin and chubby

face, she could not help but feel comforted. She pinched the little girl's nose and said, "Thank you, Hattic."

"No need for thanks. It's nothing, Harrietta replied with a laugh. Then, she casually added, "I've got school

tomorrow, Will you sendto school, Aunt Lenora?"

"I'm afraid | can't. | have a flight to catch tomorrow morning.

Before Harrietta could respond, Zachary asked, "A flight to catch? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Jeahron to attend the photography competition's award ceremony."

Zachary paused, his face expressionless as he stared straight ahead.

It had occurred to him that Ezekiel was one of the judges for the photography competition, and he guessed that

the latter would be going too. He pursed his lips.

Meanwhile, Harrietta exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! You're awesome, Aunt Lenora!"

At the kindergarten on Monday, Harrietta went to her classroom and asked her deskmate, "Who dropped you off

this morning?"

"My mom. Why?" her deskmate responded, puzzled.

Feigning a sigh, Harrietta said, "My housekeeper droppedoff today because my mom went to Jeahron."

The children attending that kindergarten were either wealthy or from prestigious families, so it was not

surprising for them to have drivers or housekeepers.

As expected, her deskmate proceeded to ask, "What is she doing in Jeahron?"

"She's attending an awards ceremony. My mom won prize in a photography competition."

"Wow! Your mom is so impressive!"

The corners of Harrietta's mouth quirked up slightly, then she relaxed them as she let out a sigh. "She said she'd

bring the trophy back forto see, but I really wish she could spend more twith me."

Her deskmate immediately said, "Your mom knows how to do everything. I'm so envious of you. My mom.

doesn't do anything at home. All she does is go shopping"

"In that case, your mom must have plenty of tto spend with you. That's also nice," Harrietta responded

politely.

The flight from Jacaster to Jeahron took roughly three hours.

After disembarking from the plane, Lenora turned on her phone while going to collect her suitcase.

As soon as the phone was switched on, several Whatmessages popped up.

Ezekiel had enquired about her flight the previous day, and right on time, he had sent her a message just five

minutes ago. It read: Have you arrived?

With her suitcase in tow, she headed to the bustling airport terminal, paused, and looked around.

Both of them called out each other's names at the stime.

She walked over with a smile, pulling her suitcase behind her. "Hi. Ezekiel."

"Let's go and eat," he responded, promptly taking the suitcase from her.

As she walked beside him, she asked casually, "When did you get back?"

"Yesterday Donovan still has school and can't make it today, so he'll be returning with the others."

Naturally, Summer would also be returning.

"Has your younger brother recovered?"

"Yes. Don't worry

"That's good, then."

Ezekiel took Lenora to the most famous duck confit restaurant in the whole of Jeahron. Its fhad spread

across the country, attracting tourists from all corners. During the holidays, it was almost impossible to secure a

reservation.

She had dined at the restaurant before, and the food was quite good. She had not thought much of it when she

was not in Jeahron, but as soon as she arrived, her cravings were instantly activated.

He had reserved a private room and let Lenora order sdishes she preferred.

During that time, he apologized to her again.

"You're not leaving tomorrow, right? I'll introduce you to a few people tonight."

He was determined to help her make connections as a way to demonstrate his sincerity.

As a seasoned photographer and the Hoffman family's heir, he had connections that were beyond the reach of

ordinary people.

Lenora found herself unable to refuse, so she agreed.
