No Remarriage for us Stay Away by Livia Storm

Seeing that he was unconvinced, Isla anxiously explained, "Fay used to work at Saleel Photography. She was in

charge of my photo shoot back then. Unexpectedly, she stole my necklace during the shoot and was fired by the

studio. If you don't believe me, go ask the

Chapter 454 Which One Is More Important boss of the studio!"

Zachary looked at her indifferently, saying nothing.

Isla continued, "The day | saw you at the restaurant, walking with Fay, | was taken aback. | know what kind of

person Fay is. She's just using you for your money. Don't let her trick you!"

Obviously, Zachary didn't believe a single word of Isla's.

He was confident that no one understood Lenora better than he did.

Zachary chuckled lightly. "Is this what you call helping me? Do you even know that Fay once donated all of her

assets to establish a charity foundation?"

When Isla saw that he was still protecting Lenora, her anxiety heightened. "Isn't everything she owns given to

her by you and Old Mr. Fuller? It wasn't originally hers to begin with. Donating it to gain fand to win your

trust would be a great idea, wouldn't it? Comparing a mere charity foundation with being the wife of the

Chairman of Fuller Group, which do you think is more important?"

Tamara had informed her about all the things that Fay had done.

Only then did Isla realize that Fay was not only resourceful, but her scheming mind was terrifyingly complex.

Nevertheless, it was hard to change one's perception.

In response, Zachary had no desire to argue with her any further. He issued a warning. "I am fully aware of her

nature. | don't need you to do anything under the pretense of helping me. If you dare harm her, not even your

uncle will be able to protect you!" After he finished speaking, Zachary turned around and left.

Zachary was certain that Isla was unaware of his identity during their encounter on the flight to Sloummont.

It wasn't until their recent encounter in Fairlake that the latter discovered who he was. She also learned about his

relationship with Lenora and subsequently appeared on the flight back home.

From what he knew, Isla hadn't returned to Jacaster for over a decade. Thus, the reason for her sudden return

this twas self-evident.

What role is Tamara playing in all of this? When did she meet Isla? Could Isla's attitude toward Lenora have

something to do with her?

Faced with Zachary's stubborn refusal to see reason, Isla stomped her foot in frustration.

Just you wait. One day, I'll expose Fay's true colors to you!

When she returned downstairs, Zachary was nowhere to be found in the living room. The only one present was

Harrietta, who was sitting on the couch, engrossed in playing with an interlocking puzzle. Her little legs were

swinging back and forth. With a gentle smile on her face, Isla sat down next to Harrietta. "Hattie, would you like

to watch a cartoon? Why don't | watch it with you?" she asked.

Harrietta looked up at her. "Ms. Isla, | don't enjoy watching cartoons. They're too childish for me."

Isla was rendered speechless.

"So, what do you like to do? Do you enjoy solving interlocking puzzles?"

"Mm-hmm," Harrietta responded, her head never lifting as she was completely engrossed in what he was doing.

"Come, lettake a look for you."

Isla took the interlocking puzzle from Harrietta's hand, studying it carefully, flipping it over and over, and

examining it from all angles.

This particular interlocking puzzle was somewhat difficult to crack.

Isla wanted to impress Harrietta, but despite racking her brain, she just couldn't figure out the puzzle.

""Ms. Isla, you're such a dork."

Harrietta took the interlocking puzzle from Isla's hand. Somehow, with just a flick, she managed to unlock it. One

by one, the wooden pieces fell onto her lap.

She then meticulously pieced it back together, one piece at a time.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Isla was trying to win her over.

Right then, Isla's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

During lunch, something was mentioned that sparked Harrietta's desire to go shopping in the afternoon. She

asked Zachary to accompany her, to which he agreed. Isla's gaze shifted.

After having lunch, Zachary spent

smore tin the Fuller residence He gestured toward Harrietta, then stood up and addressed Allison.

“Grandma, I'm going to take Hattie out shopping now. We'll cand visit you again in a couple of days."

"Alright, off you go." Allison nodded in approval. "Make sure you show Hattie a good time."

The moment Allison finished, Isla also rose to her feet. "I wasn't sure what Hattie would like when | was coming

over, so | didn't bring her a gift. I'go to the mall with you. I'll buy her something she likes she offered.

"Ms. Isla, | appreciate the thought, so there's no need to trouble yourself," Zachary said, giving Isla a warning

look.

Intimidated by Zachary's gaze, Isla opened her mouth but nothing cout.

Zachary subsequently took Harrietta to a large shopping mall in the city center, where a massive children's

playground was located in the basement.

Despite Harrietta's mature demeanor for her age, she was still a child after all. She had a deep fondness for

playgrounds and spent nearly an hour enjoying herself there.

After she had her fill of fun, Zachary led her to a milkshake store on the third floor of the mall. There, he ordered

a cup of milkshake for her.

The bubble tea shop in the mall was thriving, with the majority of its customers being young women. Many of

them, upon entering, would find their gazes inadvertently drifting toward Zachary.

A young lady leaned over to her companion and whispered, "Look, the guy sitting over there is really handsome."

The companion sneakily stole a glance at Zachary, noticing the young girl sitting across from him. In a low voice,

she said, "What a pity, he has a daughter already. Otherwise, | would have asked for his number!" "He is

handsand knows how to take care of children. What a wonderful man, unlike my partner, who is all talk and

no action!"

When the shop assistant called out Zachary's number, Zachary went over, picked up the milkshake, inserted the

straw, and handed it to Harrietta.

The latter wrapped her chubby little hands around the cup, earnestly sipping through the straw. After drinking

half of it, she becplayful and started to blow bubbles into the cup.

Zachary glanced at her, and she responded with a playful chuckle in.

As they passed a shop, Zachary bought Harrietta two more toys. Both were wooden assembly models. Once

completed, they represented a beautifully detailed large ship and a building with an ancient aesthetic. After

Zachary paid for the toys, he headed for the exit. "Let's go," he suggested. "Let's check out that area."

"Uncle Zachary, | need to use the restroom." Harrietta looked up at Zachary.

"I'll walk you to the restroom entrance. Can you go in by yourself?"

"Mm-hmm." Harrietta obediently nodded.

She could use the restroom by herself and didn't need anyone tagging along.

Following the signs, Zachary arrived at the entrance of the ladies’ restroom. "Go ahead," he said, "if anything

happens, just call out for me."

Suddenly, a woman's voice interjected. "Lettake Hattie inside."

Zachary glanced up, only to find that Isla had appeared by his side without him realizing.

"Ms. Isla. That's not necessary. | can go by myself."

After Harrietta finished speaking, she turned around and scampered into the restroom.

"Watch yourself."

Zachary gave a command, then turned his gaze to Isla. His brow furrowed, his eyes glistening icily. "Are you

following us?"

Isla's expression stiffened as she

met Zachary's intimidating gaze. A layer of sweat formed in her palms, causing her to grip her sleeves tight. "I

was indeed following you," she admitted. "Hattie is incredibly adorable, and I really like her. | just wanted to buy

her a gift.

As they were speaking, a young woman emerged from the bathroom, wiping her hands as she walked.

When she saw Zachary and Isla at the entrance, she stopped in her tracks, casting an inscrutable glance at

Zachary before passing by Isla and leaving.
