Chapter 1025


    “Hmm.” Zuko nodded after a moment. “You’re right…”


    For some reason, Lina’s face shed across his mind at that moment. He recalled sitting together with


    the Jenners for meals. Jesse, Melissa, and Dave looked like a family because Dave’s appearance


    combined the characteristics of his parents, but Lina was different.


    It was often said that daughters resembled their fathers more, but thisw seemed ineffective in Jesse


    and Lina’s case.


    “Hey, bro?” Toph did not hear Zuko’s voice for a while and grew concerned. “What are you doing over


    there?”


    “Oh, nothing,” replied Zuko. “I’m almost home. Let’s end here. You should rest too.”

    “Well, I’m already awake. Let’s chat for a while more!” Tophzily suggested, “You live alone in a big


    vi, and there’s no one else around. How about we have a video call?”


    “I don’t want to chat with you!” Zuko emphasized. “I don’t live in a vi, and… people at home are


    asleep. I don’t want to wake them up!”


    “What?” Toph suddenly became fully awake. “People at home?”


    “Yeah, people at home… What’s the big deal?”


    Zuko had already entered the alley and came to the entryway as he spoke.


    As Toph eximed, Zuko mercilessly hung up and turned his phone off directly. He chuckled lightly and


    tiptoed into the house. His first task was to quietly go upstairs and take a look at her.


    Because of the hot weather, Lina rarely closed the doorpletely when she slept, always leaving a


    small gap. Zuko stood outside, peeking inside through the gap.


    He saw Lina sleeping soundly and noticed that she still kept the banknote with her name on it, the one


    he had drawn, by her pillow. He also saw her asionally turning over with a smile on her face.


    A sudden thought shed through Zuko’s mind, and he could not help but smile along with her.


    He never expected that he would one day linger in a foreign city, and the reason for him staying there


    would be a moment of heart-pounding attraction.

    Jesse had identally hurt his waist, and Melissa had to put everything aside to scold him for being


    useless while taking care of his daily needs.


    There were also two children in the house who needed to go to school, so the responsibility of running


    the small supermarket was fully entrusted to Zuko.


    Zuko had multiple roles, including moving and unloading goods, organizing the shelves, counting the


    inventory, and handling the cash register.


    He also had to escort Lina to the university before opening the supermarket and temporarily close it to


    pick her up at a certain time in the afternoon.


    Despite all this, he managed to handle each task meticulously and never made a mistake with the


    ounts.


    After Melissa saw his well-kept records, she began to praise him even more.


    “Zeke not only has a way with household chores but also keeps such good records! Look at these clear


    and precise ount entries, even calcting to the decimal point!


    “You never attended college, right, Zeke? Howe you’re so professional at this?


    “Oh, I understand now. When you used to make fake IDs for people, you must’ve charged, right? Look


    at this. I’ve always said you’re a talented techie, and it’s true!”


    Zuko felt embarrassed but managed to squeeze out a few words with a forced smile, “Auntie, you’re


    too kind.”


    “I’m not ttering you!” Melissa could not stop smiling. “Zeke, you have a clear mind! Uh, I suggest that


    when you and Lina start your own little family in the future, let her manage the money, and you can


    keep track of the ounts. When you need money, just tell Lina and then record it yourself. Lina can


    allocate the funds to you… This way, you two can supervise each other! How does that sound?”


    Zuko was taken aback for a moment.


    Did this mean that when he was with Lina in the future, she would know every detail of their spending?


    What kind of mutual supervision was this?


    Zukoughed inside and looked at Melissa as he said softly, “Auntie, why don’t you just have Lina give


    me $70 every month?”


    “$70?” Melissa frowned. “Isn’t that… too little?! Which family man’s so miserable nowadays that he only


    has $70 pocket money?”
