Chapter 967


    Zuko sneered, thinking that the actors were terrible!


    “Hey, what are youughing at?” Melissa red at him. “Is it funny? Be serious!”


    Zuko looked at them with deep eyes as if he were looking at fools.


    Melissa decided to take matters into her own hands since her husband was acting so timidly. She


    licked her lips and raised her voice to the maximum volume, enunciating each word clearly. “Now that


    you’re staying in our house, we need to establish some rules for you! Do you have any objections?”


    Zuko shook his head.


    “The first rule is that you have no other ce to sleep but the living room floor!”

    Dave reminded her softly, “Mom, Lina just bought him a folding bed this morning. It’s—”


    “Forget about the folding bed!” Melissa shouted, “Sleeping on the floor means sleeping on the floor!”


    Zuko made a soft snort from his nose. He did not care where he slept, but he was surprised that Lina


    had bought him a folding bed. He followed Dave’s gaze and looked over to the corner of the room


    where a folding bed stood, in military green in color, with a bed sheet neatly put on it.


    There was an indescribable expression on Zuko’s face.


    “Secondly!” Melissa continued to say, “We don’t eat much in our family, you know? So, I won’t be


    cooking a lot! If you can eat, eat. If you can’t, go out and eat on your own. No one will stop you!”


    Zuko looked at her. Did she mean not to waste their food?


    He found it amusing and continued listening as she went on with the third, fourth, and fifth points.


    “You have to do household chores at home, help carry things at the supermarket, keep yourself busy,


    and not engage in fights all the time. What’s the point of that?


    “You have to wash your own clothes, and dirty clothes are not allowed on the sofa, do you hear me?

    “And…” Melissa gnashed her teeth and pointed upward. “The attic is a ce you can never enter! If


    you dare to go in, I’ll fight you! Do you understand now?”


    Melissa bombarded Zuko with her words, creating an eerie silence in the room. Jesse and Melissa


    exchanged nces and looked at Dave. Finally, the three of them turned their gaze toward Zuko, who


    was standing by the window.


    Just then, Zuko suddenly turned around. His presence was powerful.


    Jesse and Melissa sprang up from their seats as if they had springs attached to their bottoms. Dave


    also stood up, hiding directly behind the two of them.


    “What… What are you doing?” Jesse rolled up his sleeves, waving his short arms, and Melissa did the


    same.


    Zuko could not understand what this family of three was up to, but he did not feel like talking. Thus, he


    simply threw his luggage bag on the ground with a thud, making the wooden floor creak several times.


    Jesse and Melissa were almost so scared that they hugged each other.


    “He hasn’t said a word since he came in…” Jesse whispered to his wife, “Could it be that he’s really


    dumb and can’t even speak?”


    “Mister, you worry too much.” Zuko suddenly spoke, startling Jesse. “Not only can I speak, but I can


    also take care of myself.


    “And I have to add something.” Zuko put his hands in his pockets. “It was your daughter who insisted


    on meing. I didn’t ask to. She wanted me toe and be the guardian of your house.”


    Zuko smiled mockingly and slowly walked closer to Melissa.


    “Ma’am, what kind of guardian gets no benefits but also gets restricted in so many ways like me?”
