As Zuko was about to reach the last store, he heard a commotion coming from across the street. Soon, shelves and merchandise were being thrown out of the small supermarket "Jazzy Mint".Zuko was taken aback. He heard a girl shouting in anger and a group of men mocking her and saw the arrogant Violet standing at the store entrance with a cold and malicious smirk."Lina Jenner, this is just a small warning for you!" Violet looked at the mess triumphantly. "If you dare to talk nonsense and defame us Grists again, I have ways to make you suffer!""Do the Grists need me to defame you when you do all those outrageous things?" Lina glared at her. "Violet, you better be careful. Karma will find your whole family!""You little b*tch, how dare you curse me?" barked Violet.Lina ignored her directly and tidied up the things on the ground. The fruits and vegetables in the store were smashed, and the bottled drinks were shattered. The only things she could salvage were the packaged snacks.Ho

Lina felt like she should say something but did not know what to say. Every time she thought about Ziuko, her heart felt like it was being gnawed at by ants, causing unbearable pain. However, if Ziko had not been there, she would have had a hard time dealing with it alone. Lina bit her lip, and in her mind, these words flashed like lightning—three days, marriage certificate, smashing the store.She took a deep breath, and a bold thought emerged."Z-Zeke," she tried calling his name, "Your name is Zeke, right?"Zuko's back stiffened, and he paused in arranging the shelves. Even though he was facing away from her, he could still sense her trembling."Zeke, how about... we stay together?" she asked."What?" Zuko's tone changed as he turned around abruptly, his deep gaze fixed on her.What nonsense was this girl saying!?He had only helped out a little when he saw an injustice. Was he being repaid with ingratitude? Was she going to cling to him for the rest of her life?Lina noti

"Don't worry, mom!" Lina said, "He's coming to our house, and there's no other room for him, so he'll sleep on the living room floor!""Well..." Melissa said, gritting her teeth, "And don't expect me to show him any kindness!"Lina's heart lurched, and she hugged her mother to gently pat her back."Mom, actually... he has his strengths," she said with a smile. Yet tears were streaming down her face as she tried to say only positive things, "Look at how sturdy and reliable he looks! We'll feel safe at home! If you can't stand him, just treat him as a guard I invited."With him guarding the entrance, Violet won't dare cause trouble!"Melissa's tears turned into a smile as she nodded at Lina's words, letting out a helpless sigh.That night, the whole family went to sleep except for Melissa, who could not fall asleep. She sat by Lina's side, gently stroking her hair.20 years had passed like a fleeting moment, but it still felt like it happened just yesterday to her.At that time…

Zuko sneered, thinking that the actors were terrible!"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Melissa glared at him. "Is it funny? Be serious!"Zuko looked at them with deep eyes as if he were looking at fools.Melissa decided to take matters into her own hands since her husband was acting so timidly. She licked her lips and raised her voice to the maximum volume, enunciating each word clearly. "Now that you're staying in our house, we need to establish some rules for you! Do you have any objections?"Zuko shook his head."The first rule is that you have no other place to sleep but the living room floor!"Dave reminded her softly, "Mom, Lina just bought him a folding bed this morning. It's—""Forget about the folding bed!" Melissa shouted, "Sleeping on the floor means sleeping on the floor!"Zuko made a soft snort from his nose. He did not care where he slept, but he was surprised that Lina had bought him a folding bed. He followed Dave's gaze and looked over to the corner of the room

Now that the weather was warm, sleeping outdoors was quite comfortable, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. Lina quietly walked over.This folding bed she had bought was too short, and Zuko's long legs stuck out. The width was not enough either. Overall, it looked like an adult sleeping in a child's bed. Lina found it amusing and turned back.Dave was still waiting in the living room."Why aren't you going to sleep?" she asked.Dave pointed to Zuko and whispered, "You didn't bring him back?""Did he go out on his own? Or did our parents kick him out?""He went out on his own," replied Dave. "Oh, by the way, are you hungry? I can get you something to eat!"After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen, retrieving a plate of lobster risotto."It's kept warm in the pot!" he exclaimed.Lina was taken aback and looked at Dave. The cooking did not seem like something her mother would do, and lobsters were expensive. Even if her mother bought lobsters, she would cook them wh
