Three days later, Jesse and Melissa were chauffeured to the airport in luxury cars and guided onto a gleaming private plane by professional and enthusiastic flight attendants. It felt like a dream to them. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of their fantasy.

As they entered Hamerton Manor, their words fell short in describing the grandeur before their eyes. The well-dressed butler courteously led the way, and they followed in awe.

"Honey..."

"Sweetheart?"

"Quick, pinch me!"

"I'm pinching you..."

"Then why don't I feel any pain?"

Jesse was momentarily perplexed before he suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand! He realized he had been pinching his right hand with his left hand, and he almost let out a yelp!

"Dad, mom!" Dave, who followed behind, felt like he was walking on clouds with every step. "Is Lina... marrying into a wealthy family?"

"I heard my brother-in-law's name isn't Zeke but Zuko Hamerton!

"I heard he's a Count in Southeast Aciatic!

"Mom, dad, with my sister marrying so well, can I have my way in Centrolis then?"

"Shut up!" Jesse and Melissa shot him a stern look almost simultaneously. "Stop talking nonsense! You're embarrassing your sister!"

"I was just joking..." Dave scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

His sister had privileges he did not.

She could travel on Door Guardian's exclusive private plane, while he could only fly with their parents.

Nevertheless, this treatment was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life.

Dave smiled. Everything in this villa was brimming with novelty for him.

Meanwhile, Zuko led Lina into his own residence.

Previously, his father lived in Zen Residence. When Zuko grew up, his father planned and built a private villa, Zest Garden, for him on the adjacent empty land. Today, Zest Garden welcomed its first mistress in over 20 years.

Lina changed her clothes and emerged from the dressing room. The stylist beside her showered her with compliments on her natural beauty, but Zuko couldn't take his eyes off her. Lina felt a touch of nervousness. She held the hem of her dress and realized her palms were sweaty. Worried about staining the white fabric, she quickly let go.

Zuko noticed her unease and approached her, embracing her gently. "Don't worry. My parents are laid-back people. We don't have many rules in our family." "Mm." She bit her lip and nodded.

Today, she exuded a calm, gentle aura like a soft white rabbit.

A strange wave of warmth coursed through Zuko's body. He leaned closer, catching a whiff of the sweet fragrance on her. Unable to resist, his lips drew near...

Lina extended her small hand, stopping him with a smile and a meaningful look.

Only then did Zuko notice the tactless stylist standing beside them. "You're no longer needed here. You can leave."

The stylist froze, about to utter some flattery, but a cold glare from Zuko silenced them, and they exited the room.

When Zuko turned back to face Lina, his tender gaze overflowed with honey-like sweetness.

Lina smiled lightly, her heart pounding. She was pulled into his embrace just like that...

"I want to marry you tonight," Zuko said huskily. "Do you understand what I mean?"

Lina blushed and shook her head, pretending not to understand the emphasis he put on the word "tonight".

There was still some time before the official meeting of the parents.

Zuko was afraid Lina would get bored, so he held her hand and took her on a stroll in the yard.

"The design of this Zest Garden of yours is quite interesting, huh?" Lina looked around and smiled. "This kind of vintage design is not seen much nowadays. And the main building is in Baroque style with some color tones reminiscent of the Renaissance period..."

"You're interested in my house?" Zuko raised an eyebrow. "Then move in soon, and you can study it every day."

"It's not just your house that interests me. I'm interested in all houses!" Lina said softly, "It's just that I've drawn a lot of designs, but I've never had the chance to put them into practice. It's a pity."

Zuko frowned slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The Thompson Group was planning to build a film and television base in the southern suburbs.

The project involved a huge investment and various stakeholders. It did require a passionate and capable designer to draft and modify the design.

Nicholas had invited the international architect master, Sam, to take charge of it.

If Lina could work with Sam and participate in this project, it would enhance her abilities and naturally bring her to Nicholas and Linda's attention! This idea excited Zuko immensely!

"Lina, there's actually an opportunity that you can seize."

"What is it?"

"It's..." Zuko could not explain it in a few words, and the butler came to call them to the main hall just then.

He could only smile and shrug. "After I entertain our parents, I'll bring you the introduction to that project later!" "Okay."

Zuko paused and whispered softly, "Lina, having another pair of parents to dote on you is a good thing, right?" Lina paused. She thought that he was talking about her future in-laws.
