Stay Away 3
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.
