Toph said, “Aunt Kaitlyn was discharged two days ago and looked much better. But she’s behaving differently

toward Renee now. She pushed Renee away when she tried to help.

“After coming home, Renee wanted to unpack and get close to her, but Aunt Kaitlyn coldly rejected her. It’s like she

doesn’t want Renee around at all. It’s not the same Aunt Kaitlyn we knew.”

Zuko and Lina exchanged worried glances. They had seen Kaitlyn before and knew she was kind-hearted and

gentle, even when she was sick. This sudden change in her behavior was indeed strange.

Toph continued, speaking softly. “Yesterday, she scolded Renee until she cried. Renee cooked for her, but Aunt

Kaitlyn got angry because the food was mildly flavored. With her kidney disease, she can’t handle heavy flavors.”

Toph added, “I tried to persuade Renee to come with me today, but she insisted on staying with her mom to take

care of her.”

Lina comforted, “Don’t worry too much. Falling sick repeatedly and undergoing major surgery might have changed

her mentality. It’s natural for her to act differently now.”

Zuko agreed. “Lina is right. Let’s not stress about it. Aunt Kaitlyn is Renee’s mom, and she needs our care.”

Toph nodded, and they all returned to enjoying their afternoon tea.

Meanwhile, Zuko gazed thoughtfully toward the distant sea.

–

The Thompson Group began several real estate projects, with Sam again leading the design team. Lina

collaborated with him, and their joint efforts in publicity proved highly effective.

During this time, Lina worked tirelessly, even sleeping in the design studio, seeking guidance from experienced

senior engineers.

Zuko found himself in a tough situation, alone in the empty house, facing an outbreak of pimples on his nose.

Whenever he felt unhappy, he sought solace at Lina’s home.

This led to some interesting conversations between Nicholas and Linda at the Thompsons.

The first day Zuko visited: “Zuko, you’re here!”

By the fifth day: “Zuko, why are you here again?”

Tenth day: “Zuko, it’s you again!?”

Fifteenth day: “Zuko, planning to move back in with Pammy? Why do I only see you and not my daughter?”

On this particular day, Zuko paid another unexpected visit to the Thompsons and ran into Chris.

Excited about replicating new dishes from Splendor Hotel, Zuko forgot his differences with the Michelin-star chef

and rushed into the kitchen, where he came face-to-face with Chris.

Chris was wearing an apron and surrounded by cooking smoke. He widened his eyes at the sight of Zuko. “Zuko,

you…”

Zuko grabbed another apron and readied himself for the kitchen battle, asking, “What about me?”

Chris laughed while carrying a plate of unevenly cut potato shreds. “Did Lina kick you out during your honeymoon?”

Zuko’s expression darkened, and he felt the urge to punch someone.

The two of them clashed and made a mess in the kitchen. Just then, Lena walked in, scowling at the chaotic scene

they had created. Her sharp gaze intimidated the usually imposing men.

“You two, clean this up!” Lena’s voice was commanding. “If it’s not spotless, there will be no dinner tonight!”

With that, she turned and left.

Chris was dumbfounded while Zuko took out his phone confidently.

“I won’t be cleaning up. I’m going back to accompany Lina—”

As Zuko was about to finish speaking, Lina called. “Honey, I’ll be working overtime tonight. Make sure you eat well

by yourself!”

Zuko was astonished.

Not only was he unable to spend the evening with his wife again, but he also had to clean the kitchen with Chris!?

“What kind of sin have I committed?” he muttered through gritted teeth.

Seeming to enjoy his misfortune, Chris handed him the plate of shredded potato and patted his shoulder. “Mr. Zuko

Hamerton, hard at work!”

“I have to ask.” Zuko glanced at him. “When are you going to get that girl?”

“Huh?” Chris blushed, his ears turning red. “What… What are you saying?”

Zuko smirked. “I’m asking when you’re going to make her yours? You’re a sniper, right? You can take someone out

with a single shot, right?”

Chris hesitated for a moment, looking at him as if he were an alien, then bluntly said, “She hasn’t committed any

crime. Why would I shoot her? As snipers, our duty is to protect people’s lives and property in critical moments. We

shouldn’t abuse our authority or casually use firearms…”

Zuko rolled his eyes. How could Chris not understand? When he said “take someone out with a single shot,” he did

not mean it literally!
