The scene caught Fred off guard. He slowly raised his head and squinted. His smile was skeptical. "Mr. Hamerton, you're so young. How did you...""Ahem, ahem!" Zuko coughed heavily.Lina tightened her hand that was holding his arm and desperately gave him a look."Uh, yes." Zuko managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty. "I... can't eat sugary foods." He comforted himself inwardly. Yes, he never liked sweet things anyway! After speaking, he looked at Lina. The young woman was smiling brightly. She was really asking for a beating!That was right! He must teach her a lesson when they got home while Melissa could not see them! "So that's how it is." Fred, astute as he was, immediately understood the reason, but he played along. "Shall I change a few dishes for you then?""No need to trouble yourself!" Zuko replied calmly. "My wife and I didn't come here today for this meal. Mr. Grist, just say what you want to say. My wife and I have other matters to attend to." Fred p

Back in Centrolis, Toph had been waiting at the entrance of the Thompsons for quite some time. He was about to lose his patience when he suddenly caught sight of a fair and petite figure.He immediately perked up and quickly got out of the car, blocking the girl's path.The girl was caught off guard and visibly startled by him.Toph was taken aback for a moment, finding her frightened appearance quite cute. She had fair and rosy cheeks, a pair of beautiful, clear eyes, and shoulder-length hair, accentuating her pure and smart vibe.Her appearance was not stunning but rather pleasing to the eyes. However, her lips appeared slightly pale, giving the impression of poor nutrition.Toph couldn't help but show off his social skills. He waved his hand casually, crossed his arms at his waist, and tossed his hair, revealing a mischievous smile. "Hey, Pammy!"The girl stared at him blankly, instinctively crossing her arms in front of her chest and showing some wariness toward him."What's

"Hmm." Zuko nodded after a moment. "You're right..."For some reason, Lina's face flashed across his mind at that moment. He recalled sitting together with the Jenners for meals. Jesse, Melissa, and Dave looked like a family because Dave's appearance combined the characteristics of his parents, but Lina was different.It was often said that daughters resembled their fathers more, but this law seemed ineffective in Jesse and Lina's case."Hey, bro?" Toph did not hear Zuko's voice for a while and grew concerned. "What are you doing over there?""Oh, nothing," replied Zuko. "I'm almost home. Let's end here. You should rest too.""Well, I'm already awake. Let's chat for a while more!" Toph lazily suggested, "You live alone in a big villa, and there's no one else around. How about we have a video call?""I don't want to chat with you!" Zuko emphasized. "I don't live in a villa, and... people at home are asleep. I don't want to wake them up!""What?" Toph suddenly became fully awake.

Mary was delighted and spoke more, seeing that Zuko was interested."Let me tell you secretly... Actually, we all suspect that Lina's parents kidnapped her!""What?" Zuko was somewhat shocked, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Mrs. Nash, you can't make baseless accusations! I know best what kind of people my parents-in-law are!""You, child, I knew you'd take your mother-in-law's side!" Mary pouted. "But I see that you're an honest child and don't want you to be deceived by them! Those two, they may look honest, but who knows what they're really like? Only time will reveal their true nature!"Besides, I'm not making baseless accusations. Just 20 years ago, they didn't have a child yet. They went to the big hospital in Centrolis for medical help, and when they came back after several months, they were carrying this girl!"Hah!" Mary became more excited as she spoke. "They insisted that they were already pregnant before going to Centrolis, but they didn't notice it, and she was born

That evening, after Zuko finished his work and returned home, Lina was still sitting on the couch with the TV on, but her mind was not on the television at all. She watched as the man entered the house, changed into slippers as usual, and took the empty food container into the kitchen, washing it leisurely.He acted as if nothing had happened! He had even eaten up all the chicken and noodles!Lina bit her lip and waited for him to come and coax her.After a while, the sound of running water stopped in the kitchen, and Zuko dried his hands and walked out. He actually sat down beside her.Lina was slightly appeased, and her lips were about to curl up when the man suddenly blurted out, "Are you still angry?"Lina thought that he was not completely clueless. She responded with a muffled hum and turned away to avoid looking at him.Zuko cleared his throat, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his cold face, though he still maintained a serious expression. "Um... let's talk about it?"
