The atmosphere between the father and his two sons was a bit cold… Toph could not help sneezing.
After a moment of silence, Zephyr said in a low voice, “Go get changed. We’re going out later.”
“Huh?” Zuko was surprised. “Dad, I still have extra tutoring…”
“I’ve already asked your teacher for a leave.”
The little boy was a bit confused. “What could be more important than me going to class?”
“Zuko Hamerton!” Zephyr raised his voice. “Do what I tell you to do. Where did this nonsense come from!?”
“Oh…” Zuko shrank into himself silently.
Zephyr put his hands behind his back and walked away after giving them both a stern look.
Only after Zephyr was far away did Toph dare to stick his head out and ask his brother in a low voice, “What’s
wrong with dad today?”
“Sigh.” Zuko shook his head. “Maybe he’s annoyed about his pocket money!”
“That makes sense.” Toph agreed with the statement. “Mom gives us more pocket money every month than she

“Of course! We’re mom’s real sons!”
The two little guys smiled at each other and hurried upstairs to change their clothes.
It was not until they arrived at their destination that Zuko realized that their father’s bad temper today was not
because he was annoyed about his pocket money but because he was envious…
He was envious that Nicholas had just had a daughter, while his wish to have a daughter was nowhere near being
fulfilled!
“Congratulations!”
Nicholas’ daughter’s party was a grand affair. All the famous names in Centrolis were in attendance, and Nicholas
went around greeting them.
After Zephyr had two drinks with him, they both went to entertain the guests together, planning to go to the baby’s
room after they were done to see the baby.
Cordelia had already brought her two sons over, and they were all gathered around the small cradle.
“Mom, is she our little friend?”
“Softly!” Cordelia held Zuko’s small hand and chortled. “Your little friend was just born not long ago and needs to
sleep more.”
Toph asked in a low voice, “Mommy, when I was just born, was I also this small?”
“Yes.” Cordelia rubbed his head. “When you and your brother were born, you were both this small, but you ate and
slept well, so you grew up quickly!”
“Then she must eat and sleep well to grow up quickly too, and we can play with her!”
“Hey, Zuko, remember what you said! You can’t go back on your word!” Linda laughed, looking at him and then at
Cordelia. “Do you still remember our previous agreement?”
“How could I forget?!” Cordelia could not help agreeing. They had previously said that if one of them had a son and
the other had a daughter, they would arrange a marriage between them.
It was just like how Zephyr and Cordelia’s mothers had already agreed on their marriage before they were even
born.

“Heh, I don’t want to have any more. It’s already too stressful!”
Cordelia sensed that something was off with Linda’s expression and cautiously sat down next to her. “What’s
wrong?”
Linda was feeling frustrated. Maybe it was because she had just given birth, and her hormones had yet to return to
normal levels. She would occasionally have wild thoughts and get stuck on small details.
Cordelia knew that well. Fortunately, Zephyr had been tolerant and considerate toward her during that time and
helped her through the most difficult days.
Nicholas was also doting on Linda, almost treating her like a princess.
Cordelia patted Linda’s shoulder and laughed lightly. “Linda, think more about Nicholas’ strengths! How can there
be grudges between husband and wife?”
“I’m not holding a grudge against him. It’s just…” Linda sighed softly. “You have no idea. His family has some really
intolerable relatives!”
“Huh?” Cordelia was surprised. She had always thought that Nicholas had no family left.
