Lina smiled and said, “I’m meeting Abigail.”
Toph instinctively looked at Zuko.
Zuko frowned and asked Lina, “Why are you looking at me?”
Toph grinned and asked, “Why do you have such a big reaction?”
Zuko secretly reached his finger and poked Toph’s armpit hard.
Toph screamed and quickly sat between Lina and Renee.
Zuko cleared his throat, walked over to Lina, held her hands, and gently asked, “Why are you meeting her?”
Lina replied, “It’s a girls’ thing. Why are you being so nosy?”
Zuko was taken aback and rendered speechless.
Lina pursed her lips and said, “I want to talk to her about the ambassadorship.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ambassadorship?”
“Yes, the film studio project needs an ambassador,” Lina explained.
The tip of Zuko’s nose became misty with sweat. “Aren’t there many celebrities who could talk about it?”
“But none of them are as good as Abigail,” Lina retorted.
“You like her? It has to be her?”
Lina smiled and squeezed Zuko’s cheeks, blinking her playful eyes. “It’s just girl admiration. You won’t be jealous,
right?”
“I…”
“Be good. Have dinner with my mom and make sure she takes her medicine. Okay?” Lina asked.
Zuko could only nod.
Lina quickly bid farewell to Linda and left the Thompson residence.
Toph couldn’t hold in his laughter any longer. He burst out laughing. “Hahahaha!”
The hysterical laughter made Linda’s heart skip a beat!
Zuko’s face darkened…
“I won’t be eating at home either,” Zuko said flatly as he got up. He then looked at Toph and said, “Do what Lina
asked me to do.”
“What?” Toph scratched his head. “Where are you going?”
“I’m meeting Jacob,” Zuko replied.

It was dusk, the busiest time in Centrolis during summer. The streets were filled with people, and the night markets
buzzed with noise.
Among the regular people, Abigail seemed to belong to a different world while waiting at the street corner. She

extraordinary on her.
Lina was dressed casually too. She spotted Abigail in the crowd with just a glance.
“You feel uneasy being here, right?” Lina patted her shoulder and giggled. “Let’s go to the beach!”
“Huh?” Abigail had chosen this place, thinking Lina would enjoy the bustling street. She didn’t expect Lina to be
considerate of her.
“It’s right over there.” Lina pointed not far away. “It’s my family’s private beach. We won’t be disturbed there, and
there won’t be any paparazzi!”
Abigail nodded and followed her.
As they crossed the street, Abigail took the initiative to stand where the traffic was to protect Lina.
Lina was taken aback. When she looked up, she saw Abigail smiling brightly.
“You’re younger than me, right?” Abigail asked. “I’m 25 this year.”
“Yeah, I’m just slightly younger,” Lina smiled. “I haven’t graduated from university yet.”
“So I’ll be the older sister,” Abigail said. “From now on, I’ll protect you no matter what!”
