Fleur didn’t seem to treat Lena as her future daughter-in-law. Instead, she appeared eager to separate Lena and Chris immediately.

Lena wanted to laugh but refrained, fearing she might wake up the sleeping Persephone.

Lina sighed softly and said, “How can I describe my aunt? She may seem arrogant, intimidating, and self-centered, much like Zuko’s grandfather, but beneath it all, she’s actually quite kind-hearted. She may have her flaws, but considering her upbringing, they make sense.”

Lena pursed her lips and smiled.

She had heard that Zuko’s grandfather was the pufferfish of Southeast Asia. She couldn’t help but wonder what Fleur would look like when she was all puffed up.

Fleur came from a family of heroic men, her father being a general. Given her unique status as the only daughter in her family, it was understandable that she was spoiled.

Chris had mentioned she married Marco, an elegant scholar, right after graduation. Her in-laws continued to spoil her. Chris often said that his mother was the luckiest woman in the world, having been pampered for 50 years.

‘It seems some women are simply born to be pampered,’ Lena thought.

She couldn’t help but feel envious of Fleur. She would be content if she could trade lives with her for just one day.
