Lina was rendered speechless.

“Mom, we owe a lot to Zeke today… He was busy all day and didn’t eat much, so I—”

“Just wait. Mom will train him!”

“Huh?”

Before Lina could say anything, Melissa abruptly opened the kitchen door with a loud noise and said sternly, “Zeke! Bring the plate in!”

Zuko was taken aback and instinctively looked at Lina. The latter turned her face away, exasperated.

“Zeke, come in quickly!” Melissa beckoned.

Zuko reluctantly walked into the kitchen, holding the plate and a spoon.

Melissa had a smile on her face and raised her eyebrows as she looked at the sink. “Put them in there!”

Zuko did as she said.

“Wash the plates and also clean the pots!” Melissa instructed.

Zuko stared at her blankly.

Since he arrived, it seemed like he had not done any household chores. The last time he cooked for Lina, the kitchen had turned into a battlefield, and Melissa had ended up cleaning it up.

What was Melissa planning to do now? Teaching him how to do housework?

Zuko was confused. It was not that he did not want to do housework, but he did not know how. From childhood to adulthood, he had at least five or six housekeepers taking care of his daily life. Even when he came to Jangasas, he lived in a villa area Zephyr had invested in during his early years.

He was a truck driver for the Grist Group in the day, but he returned to the villa at night and was served. He had no idea how to wash plates or clean pots.

“First, get some water and add dishwashing detergent.” Melissa leaned against the kitchen door frame, directing him. “Yes, like that. Use that sponge!
