In the study, on the other side.
Chris was also pouring his heart out to Zuko. "Lenny... She..."
"She's perfectly fine." Zuko chuckled. "Apart from her background, what doesn't match up with you? Besides, do we
really need to consider family backgrounds when two people are together? You've always been unconventional! You
even dared to change the name our great-grandfather gave you."
"I don't care about it, but Lenny is too levelheaded!" Chris smiled wryly. "While others lose their wits when they're in
love, I feel like Lenny's IQ keeps increasing the more she's in love!"
"Don't be ungrateful!"
"I'm quite content," Chris said, looking at him. "But just this meeting-the-parents thing, you have to help me!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZuko looked at him disdainfully.
"Zuko, I don't care!" Chris started to act like a child. "If you don't agree today, I'll..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll come to cuddle your daughter every day!" Chris smirked. "I'll hold her to sleep and let her know how
comfortable it is to be cuddled to sleep. Then, she won't sleep in her crib anymore! You won't be able to put her in
bed for the whole night. You'll have to cuddle her all night long! If you don't cuddle her, she'll cry!"
"Chris! This is going too far!"
"So, your answer is?"
Zuko glared at him, gritting his teeth as he spat out one word: "Fine!"
Chris finally raised his eyebrows triumphantly and patted his shoulder.
"But I can't help much. At most, I'll just mediate."
"My dad is manageable." Chris glanced at him. "It's my mom who's more troublesome."
"Alright." Zuko pursed his lips. "I'll consider it!" -
Meanwhile, Lina held Lena's hand and softly asked, "Tell me the truth. Do you love Chris?"
Lena was momentarily taken aback. Did she really need to answer that? She was willing to give her life for him!
"Since you love him, why worry so much?" Lina chuckled. "You're too clear-minded. There's nothing so rational
about love."
"Sis..." "While it's important to have matching family backgrounds, the significance also means having similar
values. If your values don't align and you can't even talk to each other, what's the use of a matching family
background? Such a marriage will only bring more pain."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLena pursed her lips, and the gloom in her eyes seemed to be slowly dispersing.
"Your background isn't so important. It's your character that matters. Besides, I believe Chris won't care about your
background."
Lena frowned. "But, Toph didn't care about Renee's background at first either, and later..."
"It was Renee who started feeling inferior." Lina sighed. "Her mentality changed, and she placed herself in a humble
position. That's why she couldn't see the sunshine in the world and our goodwill.
"But, Lenny, I believe you're different." Lina looked at her. "You have a kind heart and integrity. You and Chris will go
all the way."
"Really?"
Lina held her gaze and smiled, confidently saying, "I believe in you."
The thick ice in Lena's heart gradually melted. After a while, she smiled faintly.
'She believes in me,' Lena thought.
The most beautiful thing in the world was to be trusted by the person one cared about.
With Lina's encouragement, Lena finally agreed to meet Chris' parents.
