“Didn’t someone mention this before? You asked for a golden room, right?” Lina said.
“So, this is the golden chamber you’ve created for me?” Zuko paused briefly before laughing.
He carefully examined the blueprint, impressed by Lina’s exceptional drawing skills. The design looked as if it had
been printed by a machine, with each element distinct and pursued to perfection.
“Do you like it?” Lina asked, looking expectantly at him.
Zuko chuckled softly. How could he not like it?
He reminisced about when his mother bought his father a very cheap car. Zephyr treated it like a treasure, caring
for it as if it were the most valuable possession. But now, Lina had outdone them all by gifting him an entire house.
“It would be perfect if this place was close to the sea and the mountains.” Zuko embraced her, resting her head on
his shoulder. “This house would look even better if built along the mountains.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe then asked, “Lina, have you chosen the location?”
“Yes,” Lina replied, gently rubbing his face. “But for now, it’s a secret. Once the house is finished, I’ll hide you away
properly!”
Zuko smiled, deeply moved by Lina’s affection. The house itself mattered little to him—it was the love and
thoughtfulness behind the gesture that touched his heart.

A month later, the grand wedding took place at the Hamerton Manor.
It was a crisp autumn day, and the outdoor wedding exuded both solemnity and warmth. Every detail reflected
grandeur and luxury. Only close family and friends attended the celebration, with all media requests respectfully
declined.
Zuko didn’t want Lina to feel pressured. They were not public figures. Despite numerous speculations in the media,
they felt no obligation to satisfy public curiosity.
He wanted to use this solemn ceremony to declare to the world that he was marrying the girl he had held hands
with as a child, the girl he had always yearned for, and the girl he had made a lifelong promise to.
During the wedding banquet, Toph was his usual extroverted self, and the atmosphere wouldn’t have been
complete without him.
Abigail was the only invited artist, and with Jacob by her side, and no peer or Jackie nearby, she felt relieved of her
duty to stay reserved. Thus, everyone saw a usually aloof female celebrity indulging herself, holding a plate of cake
with smeared cream all over her mouth.
As the best man, Chris diligently fulfilled his duties. He helped Zuko with toasts, reminded him of the next steps, and
stood by his side when needed, quietly retreating into the background when not required.
However, the behavior of the bridesmaid, Lena, left people amused and puzzled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe always followed Lina, rarely smiled, and maintained a high level of alertness. She was more like a bodyguard
than a bridesmaid.
Lina discreetly tugged her hand and smiled gently. “Don’t be like this. Relax.”
“No! There are so many people here today, many of whom I don’t know. What if someone tries to harm you? I
need to stand in front of you to protect you!”
“Lenny!” Lina laughed helplessly. “Today’s guests are all close friends and family. Who would want to harm me?”
“Wasn’t Desiree a ‘good friend’ Grandma Janine brought?”
“Well…”
Lina couldn’t argue with that. She had to let Lena be.
Zuko glanced at Lena, feeling a sense of confusion. Her attachment to Lina was very unusual!
There must be some special reason behind this.
However, before he could think more about it, his thoughts were interrupted by a loud Toph.
Zuko looked up. “Toph, have you had too much to drink?!”
