“We stole her home back then! In fact, we should’ve reported it to the police to help find Lina’s family after the
shipwreck…” Jesse patted her shoulder and sighed.
“Recently, I’ve been having nightmares.” Melissa choked, her voice trembling. “I dream that Lina hates me, saying
that I separated her from her parents…”
“Don’t be foolish!” Jesse hastily said. “Dreams are the opposite of reality!”
“But this dream reminds me… Have I been too selfish for the past 20 years? Is this illness retribution?”
“You…”
Jesse had never been good at comforting others, and he was afraid that anything he said would be wrong at this
critical moment.
In fact, there was no one more tormented than him currently.
His lifelong companion was terminally ill, and their children were unaware. Every day, he had to put on a brave

If they really found Lina’s family, he would have to endure the pain of losing his daughter too.
Jesse fell silent, tears welling up in his eyes.
After a long while, he regained his composure and gently embraced Melissa. With a sniffle, he said softly, “Okay…
as long as you’re happy, as long as you feel relieved, I’ll agree to whatever you say!”
Melissa nodded, gripping his hand tightly.
“Then let’s go back to the room now and take out Lina’s old photos to show our future in-laws.”
“Yeah, okay.”
“Hey, Jesse? Which way did we come from just now?”
Jesse was stunned as he looked around… Oh no! The manor was too big, and as they had been talking, they had
unknowingly lost their way.
“You stubborn old man! The butler said to follow him just now, but you insisted otherwise!”
“You old woman… You were the one who said you wanted to walk alone!”
“You’re arguing with me!?”
“D-Do you remember the butler’s phone number?”
They rolled their eyes at each other while taking out their phones to find the contact number, occasionally scolding
each other.
“It’s so embarrassing getting lost in someone else’s house!”
“Thanks so much for leading the way!”
“Melissa, you always blame everything on me!”

Zephyr called Zuko to the greenhouse.
When Zuko arrived, he saw his mother arranging a bouquet of roses. The vibrant red roses exuded bold and
unrestrained beauty.

be placed in your room!”
“Huh?” Zuko was taken aback, turning to look at his father.
Zephyr also smiled at him and patted his shoulder.
“Your mother and I really like Lina, and we can see that her whole family is honest and down-to-earth. We’re
assured of being in-laws with such a family.”
“Well, dad, mom, actually, Lina—”
“She wouldn’t not want to marry you, would she?”
Zuko chuckled. How was that possible?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Cordelia thought he was worried about something and spoke directly. “Son, don’t
worry about it. Your father and I don’t have any snobbish views. You don’t need to find someone from a high-society
background. We just hope you find someone you genuinely like.”
Zuko looked at them. “Actually, Lina’s not only someone I genuinely like, but she’s also from a matching
background!”
Zephyr and Cordelia both froze. “What do you mean?”
