Chapter 1097
When Toph firstid eyes on Lina, he couldn’t help but stare at her for a while. He not only stared, but
he also approached her directly, wanting to get a closer look.
However, just as he was getting closer, a big hand suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck! A
stern and icy voice followed. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Toph sat back in his seat, wearing an embarrassed smile as he scratched his head. “No, no… Zuko, let
go!”
Lina joined in with a smile and coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.
Zuko nced at his brother and pulled Lina’s chair closer to him.
Toph had never seen his older brother act so possessive before. He chuckled and stood up, taking the
initiative to introduce himself, “I’m Toph, his favorite younger brother!”

Zuko scowled. “Not anymore.”
“Bro, do me a favor!”
Zuko looked at Toph, and their eyes met, causing them both to burst intoughter.
“This is Renee Thompson.” Toph ced a hand on Renee’s shoulder. “Renee, this is the sister-inw I
was telling you about, Lina Jenner!”
The two girls nodded slightly and exchanged smiles across the table.
From Zuko’s perspective, their smiles seemed somewhat simr…
“Lina, I apologize for earlier,” Toph said, “Normally, I don’t stare at people like that, but…”
“But what?”
“You’re incredibly beautiful and also look familiar!” Toph joked, “But my brother is different. He inherited
the temperament of our grandmother and father, so he can appear poker-faced like the grim reaper. I’m
truly surprised that he found someone like you— Ouch!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

Before Toph could finish his sentence, he received a swat from his brother. Renee pursed her lips and
smiled, gently tugging Toph under the table to make him stop talking.
Linaughed heartily.
Zuko ced his arm around her shoulder. His icy eyes held a hint of warmth as he looked at her.
Soon, the dishes were served, all of them specialties of Jangasas. They sat on the top terrace of Best
Level, overlooking the bustling area of Jangasas. In the distance, the sea glistened under the sunlight,
creating a beautiful and sparkling sight. The four of them chatted andughed, creating a moment that
felt like a painting filled with the colors of youth.
After dinner, they took a stroll down themercial street. The two girls walked arm in arm, unable to
resist stopping whenever they spotted something cute. The two men followed behind, their eyes fixed
on the ones they admired, wearing gentle smiles.
“Hey, bro,” Toph nudged his elbow against Zuko. “These two are really something. It’s their first
meeting, but it feels like they’ve known each other for ages.”
Zuko’s eyes darkened. “Why were you staring at Lina earlier?”
“I…” Toph whispered, “Honestly, when I first saw my sister-inw, I had this strange feeling that she
looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her before… And then it hit me! Zuko, don’t
you think she resembles Renee from certain angles?”
Toph made a frame with his hands, framing Lina within it. “I also noticed that she has some simrities
with Aunt Linda!”
Zuko’s heart skipped a beat. While both brothers had been learning art since childhood, Zuko
specialized in still life, while Toph excelled in portraits and enjoyed studying features and bone
structures.
After Toph pointed it out, Zuko couldn’t help but see the resemnce.
“In this big world, there truly are all sorts of wonders!” Toph rubbed his chin and smiled. “Actually, with
such arge poption, it’s not surprising to find two people who resemble each other. But what’s
strange is how well they get along… Look at them. They’re like sisters!”
Zuko froze for a few seconds, his heartbeat suddenly out of sync. He remembered the words of a
certain middle-aged woman—”Zeke, Lina was actually taken from that couple! Look, they don’t bear a
resemnce, do they?”
