Zuko shook his head like a rattle drum and rushed out of the living room in a panic. Melissa wore a cryptic smile watching his anxious figure.

“Oh, honey!” Jesse rubbed his eyes and came out, startled by Melissa standing at the bedroom door. “Are you summoning spirits here when you’re not sleeping in the middle of the night?”

“Get lost!” Melissa slapped his head with a palm and rolled her eyes.

Jesse became much more awake. He saw the figure on the porch and looked at his wife’s mysterious smile, suddenly understanding something.

He pulled her back into the room and lowered his voice. “Say, you wouldn’t really choose him as our daughter’s husband, would you?”

“Why not?” Melissa raised an eyebrow, looking pleased. “I just asked about his family background! His family background may not be great, but if we want to find a son-in-law for Lina, he’s quite suitable!”

“What!?”

“Do you want our daughter to marry into another family and leave us in the future?”

Jesse froze, shaking his head vigorously.

Just the thought of one day walking his daughter down the aisle and handing her over to another man made him extremely worried and reluctant.

“That’s why!” Melissa became more excited. “If we can keep Zeke at home, not only can he be a guardian, but our daughter’s future will also be secured!”

“But…”

Due to the conflicting emotions as a father, Jesse hoped for someone who would genuinely love and care for Lina, but he could not stand any man getting close to her at the same time.

“Don’t worry. It won’t happen so quickly!” Melissa held his hand. “I’ll train and transform him! Mold him into the ideal son-in-law we want! The only trouble now is that he has a criminal record.

“Well, it’s not a big deal as long as it’s not something like fighting. People make mistakes in order to survive, right?”
