Chapter 1047


    Toph’s arm froze, and he stood motionless in ce. “Pammy…”


    Pam’s voice was soft and sweet as she spoke. “I want Toph to apany me.”


    “What?” Toph felt himself breaking into a sweat.


    How did Toph manage to get himself into this trouble?


    However, as Toph lowered his head, he couldn’t help but be moved by Pam’s innocent, doe-like


    eyes.


    There was fear and shyness in her gaze, yet it also conveyed aplete trust in him.


    Toph pursed his lips, rxing his body, and said, “T-Then I’ll take her somewhere to y.”


    The parents looked confused, but Zuko was beaming with happiness. “Okay, go! Take your time!”


    Toph widened his eyes as Pam practically pushed him out of the house.


    “W-What just happened?” Linda looked at the two of them, feeling lost. Then she turned to Zuko.


    “Zuko, shouldn’t you—”


    “Linda, this is something we wanted to discuss with you, but we didn’t know how to bring it up,”


    Cordelia said, taking Linda’s hands and chuckling. “Regarding the marriage agreement we mentioned


    before, it was just a whim… We shouldn’t interfere too much in our children’s rtionships. What do


    you think?”

    Linda was stunned and nced at Nichs.


    Deep down, she secretly thought that Zuko was mature, wise, and capable. He seemed like the perfect


    son-inw.


    However, they had gone through great efforts to find their daughter, and Linda didn’t want to stir up any


    conflict because of it.


    Nichs remained carefree, just like when he was young. He smirked and ced his hand on his


    wife’s shoulder. “That’s right. Let our daughter go for whoever she likes! After all, both brothers are


    Hamertons!”


    Linda patted him on the back, smiling.


    Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged nces, hesitating.


    With Melvin present, there were certain things that were hard to express openly.


    As they continued their conversation in the living room, Cordelia subtly tested Linda’s rtionship with


    their daughter.


    Linda forced a smile and whispered, “It feels as if we’re… strangers.”


    Cordelia’s eyes widened. “How so?”


    Linda sighed. “After 20 years, I’ve been absent as her mother for all that time. I didn’t take care of her


    and let her suffer so much… It’s understandable that we’re not close.”Books Chapters Are Daily

    “No need to worry about that, cousin-inw!” Melvin chimed in with a smile. “Pammy is a good girl. You


    both are her parents, after all. Once she gets to know you, she’ll surely grow closer to you. But, um… I


    have an idea, but I’m unsure if I should share it.”


    Nichs was intrigued. “What is it?”


    Looking around cautiously, Melvin continued. “Girls her age love to have fun! And what do they need


    for that? Money, of course! Nic, Linda, if you give her enough money and let her live like a princess,


    she’ll realize the power of money and grow closer to you.”


    Zuko scoffed before Nichs and Linda could respond.


    “Not a bad idea, Uncle Melvin!”


    Zuko looked up, a chilling gleam in his eyes. His smile seemed capable of freezing someone in their


    tracks.


    Melvin felt a pang of guilt as their gazes met. His hand trembled, causing his teacup to shake.


    Zuko said slowly, “Uncle Melvin, you haven’t spent much time with Pammy, so how would you know


    she’s a yful girl? Does she really need money, or is it… someone else who needs money?”


    “W-What are you saying?” Melvin stammered, sweat forming on the tip of his nose. “I’m just suggesting


    an idea. Who do you think I am, you stupid kid?”


    “I just like to believe that you’re a man of justice and helpfulness!” Zuko smiled. “Why are you so


    nervous, Uncle Melvin?”


    Melvin bit his lip, looking visibly troubled.


    Linda called the maid to bring some snacks before she spoke again. “Pammy doesn’t care about


    money at all. Melvin, I did as you suggested. It didn’t work!”


    “Oh, really?” Melvin clenched his hands by his sides, trying to maintain hisposure. “How so?”


    “To cheer her up, Nic and I transferred a portion of Sol Entertainment’s shares to her two days ago. We


    asked her to work at the office, to learn about society… But no matter what we did, she refused to sign


    the agreement and said she didn’t want our money.”


    Linda’s voice was filled with sadness as she addressed Cordelia, “Do you think Pammy doesn’t want to


    ept me as her mother?”
