“Oh… yes,” Renee chuckled softly. “We couldn’t afford a computer before. This one was actually a gift from Lina.”
“Why haven’t I seen it before?”
Renee linked her arm with Kaitlyn’s. “Mom, you were sick before, so you probably didn’t pay attention to these
things. Plus, I’ve always kept this computer in my office and rarely brought it home. It’s because now that I’ve
resigned…”
“I see.” Kaitlyn fell silent for a moment, then looked at her with a smile. “Could I use it for a while?”
Renee was a bit puzzled.
“Renee, actually… I want to learn some new things. I’ve been sick for so long, always depending on you. I feel really
guilty. But now that my health is gradually improving, I have the energy to learn these things. Can you teach me
how to use your computer to go online in case I get bored at home?”
“Of course!”
This request from Kaitlyn was quite reasonable. Besides, Renee could not refuse any of Kaitlyn’s requests.
“Renee, I can also start some small online business once I pick this up.” Kaitlyn patted her head. “This way, I can

Renee felt a pinch in her nose, and she smiled at her mother. In truth, her mother had not changed. Her heart
which always cared for her daughter was still the same as before.
Renee sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, and entered the password in front of her mother, explaining
how to use it.
However, as Kaitlyn stood behind her, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flickering in them.
The Thompson Group’s project soon entered its bidding phase.
During this period, Lina was extremely busy. This was the first project she was in charge of, and she was personally
involved in every detail, from project initiation and design development to fundraising and preliminary work. Any
oversight in any of these steps could affect the entire project’s progress.
She often worked overtime, leaving Zuko increasingly frustrated. While others enjoyed their honeymoon period
after marriage, he found himself spending his days assisting Lina with organizing data and writing reports. He had
essentially become her all-around assistant.
On this particular day, they were in the office together, but the food Zuko had brought for Lina remained mostly
untouched. She was deeply engrossed in studying the background of each bidding company, barely taking two
bites.
Feeling resentful and frustrated, Zuko suddenly stood up and walked behind her. He placed his hands on her
shoulders and gently massaged them.
Lina smiled, her dimples showing sweet romance. “Honey, you’ve become quite skilled at this lately!”
“Is that so?” Zuko smiled. “Then maybe you should consider giving me a raise in my pocket money?”
“My mother-in-law says that men shouldn’t carry too much money. 70 dollars is enough!”
Zuko was rendered speechless.
“She says it’s a fine tradition for the men of the Hamertons!”
Zuko’s smile froze instantly. He remembered finding out his father had no private savings when he was a chubby
little kid. He and Toph had teased their father countless times about his meager allowance as they grew older…
How the tables had turned! It was his turn now!
“Zuko?” Lina suddenly felt the weight on her shoulders lift.
She turned around and saw Zuko standing there, looking like a stone statue with a vacant expression. A hint of

“What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Zuko adjusted his breath and smiled. “I was just thinking, life has a way of coming full circle… God never
lets the men of the Hamertons off easy!”
Lina laughed, hugging him gently against his chest. Her soft, fragrant hair brushed against his Adam’s apple,
making him feel ticklish.
“Lina…”
He wrapped his arms around her waist, his hoarse voice revealing a hint of almost unbearable desire.
Before they got married, he often thought about doing something with her in the office.
“Lina, I want you.”
Lina blushed, trying to push him away, but he caught her wrist.
“Not… Not here…”
However, Zuko paid no heed. He lifted Lina onto the spacious office desk and sealed her lips with an overpowering
kiss.
Lina got lost in the moment. She resisted at first but soon surrendered, responding to his fervent kiss with even
more passion.
