Lena blushed and smiled as she followed Chris into the business class section.
Meanwhile, Bianca remained in her spot. Before she could even utter "Chris", the train attendant politely
intercepted her. "Miss, these two seats are yours now. Please have a seat!"
"You..." Bianca blankly glared at her.
The train attendant bowed and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else I can assist you with?"
Bianca rolled her eyes repeatedly in frustration but ultimately sat down and turned to look out of the window. -
This was Lena's first time in a business class section. She had never known that train carriages could be this
spacious. Business class seats not only allowed her to sit comfortably, but she could also recline. "How is it?" Chris

It was not that Lena did not mind Bianca's presence. Her jealousy dissipated once she looked at Chris' face. Despite
that, she still teased him with Bianca's tone. "Not bad at all, Chris!"
Chris was rendered speechless and felt beads of sweat forming on his nose.
"What's wrong, Chris?" Lena asked innocently, still with Bianca's tone, taking out a tissue and wiping his sweat. "Why
are you so flustered? Did you do something wrong?"
Chris could not find the words to respond. He knew she was joking, so he held her hand.
"I'm not flustered," he said. "I just suddenly smelled something like jealousy."
Lena chuckled and tried to push him away, but he pulled her into his embrace. They lost their balance and fell onto
the spacious seat together.
Lena's heart raced, and she avoided his gaze, whispering, "Don't make a scene."
Although Chris was itching for some affection, he had a sense of propriety and held back. He asked for a blanket,
gently covering Lena, and said, "We still have a long way to our destination. Get some rest."
"Okay." Lena nodded. "But... what about her?"
Chris pinched her nose. "You're not suspecting I'll go to her after you fall asleep, are you?" Lena giggled. She was
not that petty. Her suspicion was about something else.
She asked, "Don't you think it's odd? How did she know we were taking this train? I mean, she's rich, right? So, even
if she's going to the mountains for inspiration, wouldn't she prefer a different way to travel?"
"True." Chris pondered. Not many people knew about their trip. Fleur assumed they were taking a private jet, and
Zuko and Lina had better things to do than to mention it to Bianca.

Chris gritted his teeth. 'Jackass Toph! I must ask Zuko to interrogate him!'
Toph came to Zuko's house with the newest toy to share it with his little niece. But when he walked in, he was met
with an unusual sight.
Zuko and Lina sat on the sofa, smirking mysteriously.
Arya was in an armchair, looking helpless.
Toph's heart skipped a beat. He was direct but not foolish. He realized something. Thus, he smiled innocently and
went to get Persephone from Lina.
To his amazement, the four-month-old baby waved at him and cooed.
