Chapter 1182
Cordelia had prepared a rose jelly dessert specifically for Zephyr. How could Zephyr bear to share it?
Zuko also got a bowl of dessert for his younger brother. Toph set his phone aside, picked up the food,
and enjoyed it with his older brother, expressing his satisfaction.
Cordelia said, looking at Zuko, “You came back sote today. Did you see Lina home?”
“Yeah,” Zuko replied, pausing to think about Nichs’ expression. He turned it into a joke and shared it
with his parents.
Cordelia smiled helplessly and nced at Zephyr.
Zephyr suddenly remembered the way Rowan used to look at him. It seemed that all fathers-inw felt
the same way…
Fortunately, he didn’t have a daughter. If he did, his son-inw would surely suffer.
From his son’s perspective, Zephyr had an idea…
Zephyr smirked, sat down next to Zuko, and gently ced his hand on his shoulder. He whispered,
“Nichs is quite petty… Son, didn’t your grandfather give you the silver needles?”
Zuko was taken aback. “Dad, what do you mean?”
“Give him a little poke and see if he dares to stand at the door and re at you again in the middle of
the night!”
“Uh…”
Toph burst intoughter. “Dad, you’re so mischievous! After going through so much yourself, you still
want Uncle Nichs to experience it!”
“Nonsense!” Zephyr frowned. “Your grandfather treated me so well back then. How could he bear to
poke me?”
“Oh…” Toph pretended to be serious. “Then, Mr. Hamerton, please exin why my grandfather always
calls you a brat.”
“Toph Hamerton!”
Zephyr raised his hand to scold Toph, but Toph quickly hid behind Zuko for protection. “Dad, calm
down! Calm down!”
“Toph! You’re such a troublemaker!”
“Alright, enough. Stop causing trouble!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

Zuko stood solemnly between the two, trying to calm the situation. However, the two brothers
exchanged nces and saw mischievous smirks in each other’s eyes. Then, with perfect coordination,
they grabbed their father’s hands…
In an instant, the cherished belt around their father’s waist ended up in the hands of the two brothers!
Their swift and agile movements left Zephyr with no time to react. Within moments, he saw his two
sons grinning as they held his $400 belt.
“You two brats!”
Zuko and Toph knew their father’s weak spot since they were little. They would often yfully threaten
him by grabbing his belt. When they were younger, he could still control them, but now that his two
sons were taller and stronger than him, age had caught up with him, no matter how skilled he was.
Zephyr paused for a moment, his smile filled with love and helplessness. However, the brothers’
triumphsted less than three seconds. They turned around and saw their mother standing with her
hands on her hips, ring at them and growling, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Do you think you can bully your father now that you’ve grown up? Am I invisible!?”
Zuko’s hand trembled, and the belt fell to the floor, making a loud nging sound as the metal buckle
hit the floor.
It broke Zephyr’s heart.

“Um… Mom!” Toph chuckled carelessly. “We were just having ate-night snack and wanted to move
around, so we were just joking around with dad!”
Cordelia walked over, picked up the belt, and gently fastened it around Zephyr’s waist. Their eyes met,
and they both smiled lightly. Suddenly, the whole living room seemed to be filled with a romantic
ambiance.
Toph exaggeratedly shuddered and silently told Zuko through his lips that he had goosebumps all over.
Zuko pursed his lips and stood next to his younger brother, muttering simrints.
“Pft!” The two brothers looked at each other and burst intoughter together.
Toph changed the topic. “Oh, by the way, Renee’s mother has been recovering well recently and will be
discharged from the hospital!”
