Zuko held his forehead, rendered utterly speechless.

He looked at Chris, who was laughing uncontrollably. He eagerly anticipated the day when Lena would officially become his cousin-in-law so he could playfully tease him back.

Finally, Zuko sat down for dinner, adopting the identity of “a Thompson”.

When Zuko recounted this to Lina, she burst into giggles.

Seeing her radiant smile, Zuko suddenly felt that spending these days in an empty house was a waste. He needed to seize what he had missed, so…

The next day, as Lina got out of bed, her legs felt weak, and it took her a while to adjust her walking posture to something normal.

She looked at Zuko, who was vibrant and busy preparing gifts in the living room and felt a strong urge to give him a kick.

“Mr. Zuko, these are all the items,” the old housekeeper said with a smile. “Honestly, no matter what you prepare for your parents, they’ll like it!”

“Just mention that Lina chose them when you deliver them, understood?” Zuko ordered.

“Yes.”

Lina blinked, then descended the stairs slowly.

“You’re awake?” Zuko greeted her with a smile, reaching out to hold her hand.

“I…” Lina blushed. “I’m sorry, Zuko. I forgot to prepare the gifts for their wedding anniversary tomorrow!”

“Everything’s already prepared now. Don’t worry.” Zuko ruffled her hair. “Their anniversary is tomorrow, and they’ll surely celebrate it alone. So, we can go back for dinner today!”

Lina widened her eyes and rushed into the closet to pick out a turtleneck sweater.

After arriving at Zen Residence, they saw Zephyr and Cordelia enjoying the flowers in the yard from afar. The yard was filled with purple irises, which contrasted beautifully against the distant blue sky.
