“Hamerton! I won’t let your future daughter-in-law marry into your family if you keep this up!”
Zephyr glared at Nicholas, and the two grown men behaved like bickering children.
On the other hand, Zuko acted like a mature adult. He walked up to Nicholas and looked at him seriously. “Don’t
worry, Uncle Nicholas. I’ll take good care of her in the future and won’t let her get upset!”
Nicholas narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Zephyr with a mischievous smile on his lips.
He jabbed Zephyr in the chest. “Hey, your son’s good, much better than you!”
Zephyr smiled and mouthed “f*ck off” at him.
“Uncle Nicholas, what’s her name?” Zuko’s voice was clear
“She’s called…” Nicholas’ head stopped working. “Sweetheart, what’s her name again?”
Linda rolled her eyes several times and quickly arranged for someone to take the man to another room to sober
up.

“Can I call her Pammy?”
“Of course! Her nickname is actually Pammy.”
Zuko smiled and walked up, reaching out to touch Pammy’s face.
However, before he could touch her, Pammy, who was in her mother’s arms, suddenly looked around. As if sensing
something, she slowly reached out her small hand too…
Zuko’s hand and hers met.
The little boy had never felt such a soft and tender hand before. It was both and delightful. He gently hooked
her fingers.
“Pammy, I’ll protect you from now on! My name is Zuko Hamerton. You have to learn how to write my name when
you grow up!”
Zuko had no idea that the adults from both families were not just thinking about Pammy learning to write his name
when she grew up—she would write her name down with his in a household registry.
…
The days passed by warmly and peacefully.
Zuko was eight years old this year and had skipped a grade due to his outstanding results, becoming the youngest
student in his class.
When he returned home, hopping with joy to share his good news with his parents, he found them sitting in the
living room looking solemn. Toph sat quietly beside them, not daring to say a word.
Zuko walked in quietly and was greeted by a complicated look from his younger brother.
“Dad, mom.” Zuko could not resist speaking up after some time. “I… I have some good news to—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Robert rushed in. Cordelia and Zephyr stood up from the couch, their
expressions anxious.
“How is it?” they asked hurriedly.

Cordelia could no longer hold back her tears, and they streamed down her face.
“It’s 100% confirmed now that this was done by someone they know, and some insiders are working with people
outside,” Robert said in a low voice. “But they haven’t called so far, and Nicholas didn’t dare to report it to the
police. All we can do is have people search privately…”
“How could this happen!?” Cordelia’s voice choked up. “Aren’t our people searching too? There aren’t even any
clues?”
“This must have been a long-planned scheme,” Zephyr said, his voice heavy. “Nicholas has too many enemies. Too
many people want to make his life miserable. Those people couldn’t do anything to him, so they targeted his
daughter.
“Robert, have our people continue to follow up and work full force with the Thompsons! We must find Pammy!”
Robert nodded and left the living room.
Zuko’s ears rang, and his mind went blank as he stared blankly at his parents. Pammy was missing? But he had just
been playing with her on the beach just two days ago on the weekend!
