Chapter 1046


    “Not yet!” Zuko immediately rejected the idea.


    He hadn’t revealed his true identity to Lina yet. What would she think if he brought her home like that?


    However, Zuko felt relieved upon hearing his mother’s response. It seemed his parents were not


    insistent on him marrying Pam.


    Zuko stammered as he exined, “Um, mom, I’ll bring her home when the time is right… She’s a good


    girl. I guarantee you’ll like her when you meet her!”


    “Really?” Zephyr chimed in, joining the conversation. He nced at Zuko and chuckled. “My son is


    finally all grown up!”


    Zuko was left speechless. “Dad…”


    Zephyr ced his hand on Zuko’s shoulder. “Son, we have a marriage agreement with the Thompsons.


    Although we’re not sure if this Pammy is the real one, Uncle Nichs and Aunt Linda want the two of


    you to be together.


    “But your mom and I will find an opportunity to talk about it with them. Even if we want the marriage to


    happen, we must ensure that the girl is their Pammy!”


    “Mm-hmm.” Zuko looked at his parents gratefully.


    Although what he was about to say sounded cheesy, he hugged them and smiled. “I’m so lucky to be


    your son.”


    “Alright!” Cordelia patted his back. She checked the time and realized it was time to bake.


    She quickly put down her book and headed to the desert sshouse on the top-floor tform.


    As Zuko was leaving, he felt his father poking him after watching his mother walk away.


    “Hmm?” He was taken aback and saw the agarwood box in his father’s hand. “Dad, what…”


    “Besides the emerald ring, take everything in there!” Zephyr said with a smile. “The ring is your mom’s


    favorite, so I can’t let you take it. You can take the rest to please the girl you like.”


    “But what will happen if she finds out?” asked Zuko.


    “What else? She’ll just deduct my allowance at most!” replied Zephyr.


    Zuko stared at his father in disbelief, his amusement evident in a chuckle that escaped his lips. How


    could his father, who owned the entire Hamertons, becking in money? It was perplexing to him.


    Yet, Zephyr had been requesting an allowance from Cordelia all his life. One was willing to endure


    torture, while the other was willing to suffer. Perhaps it was another form of true love.


    “Forget it!” Zuko dered, reaching into the box and selecting a bangle, the renowned Le Esse. “Dad,


    I’ll just take this. You can put the box back now.”


    “That’s all?” Zephyr was taken aback. “Would the girl be satisfied?”


    “Lina isn’t materialistic,” Zuko assured him.


    “Ah, I see.” Zephyr yfully teased his son. “I’m sure you haven’t revealed your true identity to her,


    have you? Ha, don’t you know I used to pull off this trick too?”


    Putting the box away, Zephyr bounded upstairs like an excited child, ready to bake with his wife.


    Zuko pouted but realized there was no use arguing. He could only make a silly face at his father’s


    retreating figure.


    The following day, Zephyr and Cordelia took their two sons to visit Pam at the Thompsons’. Melvin


    was already there, and they greeted each other with courtesy.


    “It’s my fault, cousin!” Melvin expressed guilt. “Why did I take Pammy on the cable car ride that day!?


    She’s timid, and the height must have frightened her, causing her to develop a fever!”Books Chapters

    “Don’t me yourself. It’s not your fault,” Nichs reassured him with a smile, inviting him to have


    some tea. “Pammy has spent years away from home, and she wasn’t properly cared for. She’s weak.


    Ultimately, it’s my failure as a father to take care of my daughter.”


    “Don’t say that, Uncle Nichs,” Toph interjected, pausing his game console and sitting up attentively.


    He nced at Nichs and then at Melvin, a cryptic smile ying on his lips. “Uncle Melvin, do you


    think Pammy was scared of the cable car or perhaps… the hospital?”


    Melvin’s expression changed drastically as he red fiercely at Toph.


    “What?” Nichs was taken aback. “Pammy went to the hospital?”


    “Oh, so she wants to go to medical school?” Melvin exined with a smile. “I thought I could go to the


    hospital and find some people I know to help her with her studies!”


    Toph responded sarcastically. “Oh, definitely for studying! But Uncle Melvin, if Pammy really wants to


    go to medical school, we have plenty of doctors at our hospital. Maybe she should stay with us!”

    Melvin smiled, but his words were strained as he clenched his teeth. “No need for the trouble, Toph.”


    Toph returned the smile, noticing the panic in Melvin’s expression.


    At that moment, Linda’s voice called out, “Come here, Pammy. Your friends are here to see you!”


    Zuko and Toph turned their heads simultaneously.


    They saw Linda holding Pammy’s hand as they entered the living room. It was evident that Pammy had


    recently recovered from an illness, as she didn’t look well. She appeared shy when she nced at


    them.


    Her eyes widened, especially when she saw Melvin, and she immediately looked down as if she had


    done something wrong.


    “Don’t be afraid, Pammy,” Linda reassured, gripping her daughter’s hand tightly. “Look, Zuko and Toph


    are here. They’ll apany you outside, okay?”


    Zuko and Toph stood up simultaneously.


    Linda still held hope for the marriage agreement, so she nudged her daughter toward Zuko.


    To everyone’s surprise, Pammy looked at Toph and slowly walked toward him. She reached out her tiny


    hand to hold onto his arm…


    Everyone was taken aback, saying, “Huh? What’s going on?”


    “Eh? Come again!?” eximed Toph.
