    Lina nodded. “You can decide.”


    Zuko ced his hand on her belly. With the months passing, he could sometimes feel the baby’s


    movements. Right now, their little one seemed to respond to his touch as if greeting him.


    “By the way, there’s a secret I want to tell you…” Lina’s smile was radiant. She leaned close to his ear


    and whispered, “Our baby… is a girl!”


    “What?” Zuko’s heart skipped a beat, and he could not react for a moment. He was so happy this time


    that he could not even manage a smile.


    “A-Are you sure? How did you find out?”


    Lina giggled embarrassedly. “I pestered the doctor until she told me! She kept saying that there are


    rules against revealing the gender during ultrasounds, but she told me to prepare a princess bed after


    the checkup!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Zuko was overjoyed, and he almost gave Lina a princess carry. He remembered his mother saying that


    the Hamertons had always been having more sons than daughters. In Zephyr’s generation, all the


    others were boys aside from Zennie.


    Going on, it was Zuko and Toph. Moreover, there was a superstition that Cordelia needed to have


    seven sons before they would finally have a daughter. It was why she stopped after giving birth to them


    both. Zephyr had always been a little regretful that he had no daughters.


    Now, Zuko had a daughter!


    He was ecstatic and could not wait to call and share the news with his entire family.


    “Stay calm for now!” Lina admonished. “Sometimes, ultrasounds can be wrong…”


    “No, no!” Zuko was sure. “I know it’s a daughter!”


    “Even so, let’s not say anything until she’s born.” Lina whined, “It’s only a few months from now!”


    Zuko smiled and gently embraced her. If his wife did not want to disclose it, he would enjoy his


    happiness in secret. From now on, though, he needed to prepare baby supplies.


    The doctor had mentioned a princess crib, right? He would buy the best princess crib, hang dreamy


    curtains all around it, and ensure that the Hamertons’ little princess felt like true royalty from the


    moment she arrived.


    “By the way…” Lina looked at him with some hesitation and asked, “Renee…”


    “You still can’t let go of her, can you?”


    Lina shook her head. She felt torn. Her feelings for Renee wereplicated. They had faced hardships


    together, but Renee had now repeatedly challenged her bottom line.


    She wanted Renee to be rightfully punished but did not want her to end up too badly.


    “Really?” Lina eximed.

    “Yes,” Zuko said softly. “I made a deal with Jacquelin, promising the safety of her family in exchange for


    her finding a way to lure Renee out… She actually did it.”


    In fact, on the day Renee entered the prison, the female guard had recognized her and reported her


    whereabouts to Zuko. This included the conversation between Jacquelin and Renee.


    Lina asked him, “What did Jacquelin do?”


    Zuko licked his lips but did not say anything. He did not know how to tell Lina about it, and he could not


    be sure whether it was true or false.
