Chapter 1090


    Renee’s hand had barely retreated when Toph swiftly caught hold of it and calmly ced it back on his


    arm.


    “Toph—”


    “I know there are plenty of great restaurants in Jangasas. Come on, let me treat you to avish meal!”


    Toph interrupted, pulling her along.


    Renee was momentarily stunned before a smile spread across her face as if she had just won the


    world.


    “Renee, did you know that my parents met in Jangasas?” Toph continued to chat as they walked. “The


    hotel where they had their first date was called Regalia Hotel, and they had lobster risotto…”


    …


    When Zuko returned to the presidential suite, Lina had been unpacking and hadn’t spoken to him since


    the afternoon.


    The atmosphere felt peculiar.


    He could sense a clear sense of detachment emanating from Lina. There were several instances when


    their eyes met, and Lina looked at him with suspicion.


    Zuko approached her, intending to say something, but the words eluded him. He could only manage a


    somewhat forced smile.

    His awkward smile took Lina aback. “What are you doing?”


    “Oh, nothing.” Zuko casually ced his hands in his pockets as he nced around and engaged in


    small talk. “This room is quite nice!”


    Lina replied absentmindedly, “Of course, it’s the presidential suite. How could it be anything less?”


    “If I had known we could switch rooms, I would havee earlier to keep youpany!” said

    Lina was startled and looked up at Zuko. She couldn’t help but soften a little when she saw him


    grinning foolishly and making an effort to please her.


    Although doubts and uncertainties lingered in her heart, his gentle gaze and smile were hard to resist.


    Lina walked up to him, lips slightly pursed, and buttoned the two crooked buttons on his polo shirt.


    “Lina…” Zuko gently held her small hand. “What if we find another ce to stay?”


    “Why?”


    Aplex expression flickered in Zuko’s eyes.


    If they stayed there any longer, more would be exposed. Given Lina’s intelligence, she would easily


    piece it together—perhaps she already had.


    Zuko had heard stories about his parents’ dating history. His father’s personal experience taught him


    that if two people in love, they shouldn’t keep secrets from each other. She must not find out about this


    from someone else.


    He took a deep breath, swiftly organized his thoughts, and pondered how he could reveal the truth


    without causing too much emotional turmoil. “Well… Lina, will youe with me if I want to stay


    somewhere else?”


    “What do you mean?” Lina furrowed her brow. “Isn’t it nice here? Besides, the hotel manager just


    switched us to this spacious suite.”


    “Um, I think the energy here isn’t quite right.” Zuko conjured up a serious exnation. “Ever since you


    came to this room, you’ve been ignoring me.”


    Lina was momentarily taken aback, then burst intoughter.


    She had also been contemting how she could inquire without appearing too deliberate and still get


    him to reveal the truth. After all, it was just her suspicion.


    What if he didn’t have any special identity? Bluntly asking him like this might hurt his self-esteem.


    “Okay.” She gently caressed his face, speaking softly. “Then tell me where you want to stay.”


    Zuko’s heart started racing irregrly. The words “Irwin Manor” lingered on the tip of his tongue.
