“In the face of evidence, Wayne and Maxwell had no clipice but to admit that they had planned their actions in advance. The police had decided to press criminal charges against them. However, considering the extent of their harm, their sentences were unlikely to be severe.”
Lenora was extremely curious. “How did they know my license plate number and my whereabouts?”
The police replied. “Wayne is a mechanic at a certain car dealership. According to his confession, you had your car repaired at that store. Maxwell specifically had someone tail you, and a friend of his informed him of your whereabouts”
“All right. I understand,” she said.
“The families of Wayne and Maxwell would like to meet with you, hoping to seek forgiveness from the victim. What do you think?”
“I don’t want to see them. I don’t need any of their civil compensation. I’m fighting for a heavier sentence.”
“Okay,”
“Thank you. Goodbye. Let me know if there’s any news”
After hanging up the phone, Zachary glanced at Lenora. “I’ve assigned this matter to Zayne. Rest assured. They will pay for what they’ve done.”
Zayne Jenkins was a specially appointed lawyer in Fuller Group’s legal department, renowned as the top lawyer in Jacaster. His reputation was resounding, and the cases he handled almost never resulted in defeat.
“Thank you.”
“Why are you being formal with me?”
The western restaurant was beautifully and lavishly decorated, with the melodious sound of a piano wafting through the grand hall.
The two of them took a seat toward the back, and the waiter handed each of them a menu.
Zachary flipped open the menu, starting to read from the top. After he had read a few dishes, Lenora interrupted him, “If we order so much for dinner, won we be unable to finish it all?”
“I’m reading for you.” Zachary squinted his eyes and smiled. “Can your eyes see clearly now?”
Lenora regained her composure and smiled at him. “I’m not blind, just a bit blurry. I can still read the words clearly.”
The waiter took the opportunity to enthusiastically introduce, “Sir, Miss, this is our best–selling couple’s set meal in our restaurant. It’s a great deal, and many people choose it. You two might want to give it a try.”
Lenora was momentarily taken aback by the question, and after a brief pause, she nodded. “Let’s this one.”

A nearly imperceptible smirk played at the corner of Zachary’s mouth. He asked seemingly nonchalantly. “How do you feel about your vision recovery?”
“There’s some improvement, I can see things much more clearly.”
What about phone texts..
Lenora shook her head. “Staring for too long gives me headache. Is there something going on at the company?
“No.” Zachary lowered his gaze. “Take a few more days of rest”
“Mm.” Lenora’s gaze swept around the room. “This restaurant has a nice ambiance. The young lady’s piano playing is quite enchanting. I wonder what piece she’s playing.
“Ballade For Adeline, a composition by Paul de Senneville.”
Surprised. Lenora looked at him. “You know about this too?”
“I heard someone play it once, and I remember it.”
“Please enjoy your meal.”
The waiter served the desserts, steak, foie gras, and red wine one by one. He uncorked the red wine and slowly poured a bit into Zachary’s and Lenora’s glasses.
Zachary picked up his wine glass, his gaze lifting to meet Lenora’s. A curve formed at the corner of his eyes, his pupils shimmering brightly.
Lenora understood his intentions. She, too, picked up her wine glass and clinked it against his. She then took a small sip.
Zachary moved the steak from her front to his, cut it into pieces with a knife and fork, and then placed it back in front of her after he finished cutting.
“Thank you.”
Zachary looked into her eyes, as deep as autumn waters. “You’re welcome.”
After dinner, the two of them walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.
The cool breeze brushed against their faces, dispersing the slight intoxication from the red wine.
Zachary turned his head to look at Lenora. “Do you want to go home?”
“Let’s take a stroll nearby. It’s a good way to digest our meal,” Lenora suggested, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
“All right.”
The two of them walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, down the street.
This area was indeed bustling, with people constantly coming and going on the streets, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.

Aside from being a bit quieter, they appeared no different from those couples who were holding hands and laughing together.
Though she was in the bustling city, there was an exceptional tranquility in her heart.
How she wished they could continue walking hand in lund like this forever.
“Hey, look at that guy. He’s really handsome.”
A couple passed by them, and the girl glanced back at Zachary, whispering something to her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend raised an eyebrow. “You dare to look at other men while strolling with me.”
The girl muttered. “Weren’t you just ogling that beauty moment ago?”
The guy responded, “I only glanced at her once, but you looked at him several times. Hmph, am I not handsome?”
The girl, clinging to her boyfriend’s arm, cooed, “You’re handsome, always handsome, the most handsome.”
The sound reached Lenora’s ears, and she burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Zachary turned his head to look at her.
Lenora gently held onto Zachary’s arm, tilting her head back to look at him. Her eyes sparkled like the stars. “Nothing. There’s a dance hall up ahead. Do you want to go in and take a look?”
“All right.” Zachary’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
The two of them entered the dance hall.
Soothing music echoed throughout the hall.
Within the dance floor, couples paired off, engaging in social dances.
There were a few tables by the dance floor, where clusters of guests were seated here and there.
Zachary saw Lenora looking at the dance floor and asked with a light smile, “Would you like to dance?”
Lenora pursed her lips. “I’m not very good at it.”
“I can teach you.”
Lenora’s eyes lit up.
Zachary bowed and extended his hand in front of Lenora. “Ms. Wilkin, may I have the honor of asking you for a dance?”
“Sure. Lenora sincerely extended her hand to him.
Zachary, leading Lenora, slowly stepped onto the dance floor, his face adorned with a captivating smile. “Place your hand on my shoulder,” he instructed, “and follow my steps carefully.”

As the soothing music played, they began to dance slowly, their steps measured and restrained.
Zachary leaned slightly, counting the beats next to Lenora’s car.
His breath fanned against her cool car, causing her to shrink her neck involuntarily.

Lenora moved clumsily, struggling to keep up with Zachary’s pace. Inadvertently, he stepped on Zachary’s leather shoe, leaving a large footprint.
“Sorry.” Lenora raised her head to look at him, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
With a smile, Zachary whispered into Lenora’s car, “It’s okay.”
Lenora was momentarily taken aback.
The dance floor was bathed in flickering light, illuminating his handsome face, accentuating his strikingly handsome features, as three–dimensional as a perfect sculpture, with sharp, distinct edges.
The corners of his lips curved slightly, his eyes gleaming like precious gems. He gazed at her deeply, firmly capturing her attention.
“What’s the matter? Stunned, are you?”
“No.” Lenora hastily lowered her head, nearly stepping on her own foot.
Zachary let out a soft chuckle.
The tips of Lenora’s ears had unknowingly turned red, so red that they seemed to bleed.
moment later, she became increasingly proficient.
Her skirt billowed, dancing lightly with her graceful steps. She was delicate and light, elegant as the wind.
Zachary held her slender waist, which was barely a handful, allowing her to dance gracefully.
“Have you learned it?” Zachary asked softly.
“Mm.”
Suddenly, someone bumped into her from the side.
Lenora stumbled, colliding into Zachary’s chest.
Immediately, Zachary reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
“Apologies, I bumped into you.” The person who bumped into her apologized with embarrassment.
“It’s okay, Lenora said with a faint smile.
“Go and sit for a while,” Zachary suggested, noticing a thin layer of sweat forming on Lenora’s forehead. He led her away from the dance floor.

“Okay.”
The two found a booth and sat down.
Zachary then went to the restroom.

A young man with blond hair approached the booth, a drink in his hand. He posed nonchalantly and asked. “Miss, might I have the fortune of inviting you for a dance?”
Lenora shook her head. “I’m sorry. I’m a bit tired right now,”
The guy sat down directly across from Lenora, gesturing to the waiter. He took a glass of wine from the tray and pushed it toward Lenora. “Care for a drink?”
Lenora shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t drink alcohol”
During dinner, she dared not drink too much red wine.
Seeing you alone, I think you seem rather lonely. How about I keep you company for a chat? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Royce Lowe, and I am the heir to a real estate company. May I ask your name?” The blond man raised an eyebrow at Lenora, his face wearing a smug, boastful expression
He knew these women all too well. They appeared aloof and superior on the surface, but as soon as he revealed his identity, they would all flock to him.
“My name is…
“Mr. Lowe?”
Royce was brimming with enthusiasm when suddenly, someone patted his shoulder from behind.
As he turned around, his demeanor shifted dramatically. Quickly standing up, he said, “Mr. Fuller, you’re here too? Shall we have a drink together?”
“No, what are you all discussing?” Zachary asked indifferently.
“Oh, it’s nothing much. I just wanted to get acquainted with this young lady.”
Zachary settled down next to Lenora. “Let me introduce you. This is my sister, Lenora.”
The smile on Royce’s face momentarily froze, then he turned toward Lenora with an apologetic grin. “So it’s Ms, Wilkin, my apologies for the oversight.”
“Let’s go. Let’s head back,” Zachary said, taking Lenora’s hand.
“Sure.” Lenora rose to her feet as she spoke.
“Mr. Fuller, Ms. Wilkin, bye now.“”
Royce followed them, escorting them to the entrance of the dance hall.
The two of them, hand in hand, left the dance hall. Zachary cautioned, “That Royce is not a good person. You should avoid too much contact with him.”

Lenora gave a slight laugh, glancing at Zachary, “I think he’s quite a decent person. How did he end up not being a good guy?”
Zachary’s face darkened. “No one knows another’s true nature. A bad person won’t claim to be one. You’ve only met him once. How much do you really know about him?”
“I understand,” Lenora replied with a smile, listening to Zachary’s carnest lecturing.
The two of them walked to the parking lot in front of the western restaurant.
Zachary helped Lenora open the passenger side door of the car. Only after Lenora got in did he walk around to the other side to take his place in the driver’s seat.
Nora.
Upon hearing the sound, Lenora had just fastened her seatbelt. As she lifted her head, she saw Zachary gazing into her eyes, slowly leaning in toward her.
His eyes were as mysterious as the Milky Way, unfathomably deep.
Lenora couldn’t help but hold her breath, her eyes wide as she watched his handsome face magnify.
His warm breath hit her face, and she slowly closed her eyes.
