No matter where Toph, the second grandson of the Hamertons, went, he was always a ray of sunshine in people’s
eyes.
Since a young age, Toph had been beloved by everyone. Compared to his brother’s maturity, Toph had a carefree
and innocent character, always wearing a smile on his face.
It was often said that people who loved to smile were lovable themselves.
As soon as Toph walked in, he caught Renee’s attention, and she greeted him with a smile.
Nicholas and Linda exchanged glances and smiled, seeing Renee’s unusual behavior. They quickly ushered Toph to
take a seat.
“Help yourself. No need to be polite!” Nicholas said, patting Toph’s shoulder and beaming. “You’ve grown so much
lately!”
“Ahem… Uncle Nic, I passed puberty a long time ago!” Toph chuckled and helped himself to an omelet, digging in
eagerly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLinda poured Toph a glass of milk, knowing he preferred it warm, not hot.
Toph took the glass and cheerfully exclaimed, “Thanks, Aunt Linda! Your house always has so much food. It’s
amazing!”
“Your place isn’t too shabby either!” Nicholas smiled and asked teasingly in a lowered voice, “What’s the matter?
Do your parents not feed you?”
Toph had his mouth full of food, making it difficult to respond.
Nicholas and Linda chuckled, aware that Toph’s home was often filled with excessive public displays of affection.
“Never mind.” Linda’s words pricked Toph’s heart. “Your parents treat you and your brother as an afterthought.
Look at your brother. He’s smart enough to escape and hide in Jangasas!”
“Ahem…”
“Even if you’re choking, we’ll still say it.” Nicholas continued teasingly. “You’re not young anymore, and you don’t
even have a proper girlfriend. No wonder your parents keep flaunting their love to torment a single guy like you…”
Toph appeared to be in a daze, his blank stare fixed on them, with pieces of omelet falling from the corner of his
lips.
“Don’t say that about Toph…” A gentle voice suddenly interjected.
The dining table fell into silence as everyone turned their gaze toward the source of the voice.
Renee, somewhat shy, kept her head down while nibbling on her toast.
Nicholas and Linda exchanged glances, their hearts filled with genuine joy. They looked at Toph and then at their
daughter as if seeing their younger selves.
Youthful relationships were always pure and beautiful. Although they had initially hoped for their daughter to be
with Zuko, it seemed he had already found the love of his life. Meanwhile, Toph was no less deserving than Zuko.
Even Toph was taken aback. He raised his head and met Renee’s radiant eyes. Something seemed to strike his
heart, and it started beating faster.
“Finish your meal, Pammy.” Linda seized the opportunity and said, “Toph will take you out once you’re done!”
“Hmm… I don’t really want to visit the city,” Renee timidly expressed. “I want to go somewhere else.”
Nicholas was overcome with emotions upon hearing that. Since her return, their daughter had never taken the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminitiative to ask for anything.
Today, Renee said she wanted to go somewhere else.
Nicholas readily agreed. “Of course, of course! Toph, I’ll leave her in your care. You—”
“Can you let me finish?” Renee sat up straight and took a deep breath. “I-I mean, I want to go on a vacation.”
“A vacation?” Nicholas asked.
“Yes, I want to go to Jangasas,” Renee stated.
Although Renee’s voice was soft, the dining room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Renee herself could hear the thumping of her own anxious heartbeat.
Then, she turned to Toph and asked timidly, “Toph… Can you come with me?”
…
In Southeast Aciatic, the night fell late as it was a tropical country.
Zuko had been eagerly awaiting the evening, feeling restless after spending the entire day cooped up in his room.
As soon as he heard the door open, he rushed over!
Just as Lina opened the door, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.
