Chapter 3 Wife Into Sister

  • For the past three years, although they didn't make their relationship public, their life was no different from an ordinary couple.
  • Every morning, Lenora would pick out suits and ties for him, and they would head to the company together.
  • If he had to entertain clients in the evenings, he would let her know.
  • They often had sex at night and occasionally took baths together, along with a goodnight kiss every night.
  • He never missed giving gifts on wedding anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and birthdays.
  • Whatever she wanted, he provided.
  • He provided both romance and a sense of ceremony.
  • He lived up to everything a perfect husband should do.
  • Even she believed that their days of happiness would last forever.
  • Now that Susanna was back, their marriage had to come to an end.
  • The female voice on the phone yesterday should have been Susanna, right? Have they been in touch for a while now? During his business trip this month, were they together the entire time? Did they return to the country together last night? Was he with Susanna last night?
  • As the questions swirled in her mind, Lenora felt a chill in her heart. Zachary was tearing her heart apart, piece by piece, leaving it bloody and mangled.
  • “Lenora, don't worry. Even if we divorce, you're still a part of the Fuller family. I cherish you as a sister.”
  • Sister? After marrying him and sharing his bed for three years, I still need to return to the position of his sister. How can I accept that?
  • “We'll see.” Lenora gave a vague answer, flashing a self-deprecating smile. She lowered her gaze.
  • Zachary adjusted his collar, looking at her darkly. “By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?”
  • Lenora casually flipped through the document in her hand, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “It's nothing much. The proposal for the new season's clothing launch is already out. There was a point I couldn't finalize and wanted to discuss with you, but I've thought of a good solution now.”
  • Some words were no longer necessary.
  • “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
  • As a director of Fuller Group, Lenora's professional abilities were unquestionable.
  • She was born for this industry. Everything she touched, whether it be jewelry, clothing, games, or electronics, without exception, became a hit.
  • “I'm just doing my job. I'm off to work now.”
  • Lenora took a deep breath, turning around calmly. Every step was steady as she tried to maintain a composed demeanor.
  • “Let's go together,” Zachary said, heading upstairs to change.
  • Lenora halted in her tracks. A bitter taste rose in her throat as her eyes turned red.
  • How could he manage to remain so calm, inviting me to go to work together when he had just asked for a divorce? It's because he doesn't love me, huh?
  • “No need. Since we're getting a divorce soon, we need to be cautious not to be seen together,” Lenora said, leaving these words behind as she walked away swiftly.
  • She was scared that she might lose her composure in front of Zachary in the next moment.
  • She couldn't do that.
  • After that night, he married her because he felt she was sensible and obedient.
  • I'm sorry, baby. From now on, you'll only have me.
  • Behind her, Zachary watched her slightly disordered steps, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
  • In the garage, Lenora opened the driver's door and got into the car. Not in a hurry to start the car, she clicked on Instagram.
  • Scrolling down, she finally saw a clue.
  • Zachary and many of his friends didn't like to post on social media, but there were a few exceptions.
  • The third son of the Lother family, Charles Lother, was one of them.
  • Lenora saw his post from last night, a photo of an exquisite feast, captioned: “Welcoming back the beautiful Susanna. Looking forward to Zack's wedding!”
  • There was also a blessing emoji attached at the end.
  • The tagged location was their usual gathering place.
  • Plop.
  • A tear fell on the phone screen, reflecting a surreal rainbow.
