Chapter 1339
“Uh… honey.” Zuko wrapped his arms around Linar from behind, burying his face in her neck and
taking a deep breath. His voice was husky as he asked, “Shouldn’t we… fulfill the elderly’s wishes?”
Lina put down her documents and turned around to caress his face with a smile. “I’m not against that.
Didn’t we agree to let things happen naturally?”
Zuko felt her t stomach. “But, it’s been so long without any news. Is it because I haven’t worked hard
enough?”
“You…” Lina pushed him away.
Not enough? He was clearly quite diligent! How many times had he imed his allowance this month?
The Hamertons’ rule was 70 dors, but he had made tens of times that!
“Honey!” Zuko continued to cling to her and whined.
Lina cradled his face and reasoned with him. “Zuko, I really don’t have the time or mood today! Besides
having a lot of work to do, I also need to check on Renee.”
Speaking of Renee, Zuko thought of Toph and turned serious. “By the way, it seems like she’s avoiding
even Toph’s visitstely. When my parents go to see her, she locks herself in her room, too. Will
something go wrong if she keeps this up?”

“That’s what I’m concerned about.” Lina nodded. “A person’s personality is bound to undergo some
changes after experiencing a huge change. I thought of getting her a psychologist, but she refused.”
This answer was within Zuko’s expectations.
Renee was a girl with a sensitive personality, naturally carrying a touch of mncholy.
Toph’s cheerfulness had only saved her for a while, but it seemed to have lost its effect since Kaitlyn’s
passing.
“People like her won’t actively seek help even if they know there’s a problem.” Zuko stroked Lina’s
head. “People tend to avoid addressing their problems, especially someone as sensitive as Renee.”
“But it’s best if someone can constantly guide and counsel her,” Lina said.
Zuko thought for a moment. “Isn’t Lena living with your parents?”
“Don’t bring it up.” Lina smiled wryly. “Renee seems to really dislike Lenny and doesn’t want to talk to
her. Also, Lenny mentioned that the way Renee looks at her seems different from usual.”
Zuko frowned. “What does that mean?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

“I don’t quite understand either.” Lina sighed. “In any case, Renee doesn’t want to see Lenny. So when
I get hometer, I’ll see what’s going on with Renee. I’ll also ask Lenny to go out to work so she’s not
constantly hanging around Renee. I think that could solve some of the problems.”
Zuko smirked. “Isn’t Lenny’s job to protect you?”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m serious.” Zuko hugged Lina gently. “Actually, I quite hope that you have someone like her
protecting you. I’m very at ease having her around you, but…”
“But what?”
Zuko smiled. “But Chris has a short fuse and turns extremely explosive!”
“He really likes Lenny?” Lina’s eyes lit up.
“If he didn’t like her, would he have gone to such lengths to track her down out of the city? Would he
have stayed by her side and taken care of her when she was seriously injured, making her various
meals?”
Lina smiled and grew impatient. “Why’s Lenny like a block of wood and not reacting at all?”
Zuko was about to say, “All her attention is on you, so what can she react to?” but he changed his mind
at thest moment.
“Maybe she feels inferior. After all, Chris’ background isn’t what regr rich heirs canpare with.
Someone of his background would usually choose an heiress from the four major families.”
“Oh…” Lina’s eyes lit up cunningly, and she smiled, “I’m curious which heiress from the four main
families Mr. Zuko Hamerton would pick.”
“Hey, sweetie…”
Zuko yfully stuck out his tongue. He realized he had put himself in a tricky situation by saying the
wrong thing.
It was Chris’ fault!
“My wife can outshine any woman in those four families,” he said, holding her hand. “So, it’s not
something I need to be concerned about. Chris should be the one bothered by this!”
