Zuko glared at Toph. Before he could say anything, Wendy, the nanny who had been taking care of them since they were little, came over with a smile. “Mr. Toph, this brand is decent. It’s cheap and has a large volume. It’s economical! I’ll use this to fry sometime for you both tonight!”

“Don’t use this one first!” Zuko said in a serious manner.

“Huh?”

“Uh, I mean…” Zuko rubbed his nose with an evasive gaze. “Don’t use it up too quickly!”

Wendy was confused. It was not like the Hamertons could not afford the peanut oil, but she nodded anyway.

Zuko watched the servants put the items away, neatly kept in the cabinets according to his request, like he was watching over some treasure, and flashed a pleased smile.

“I’m going to see our parents,” he said and left, leaving Toph and Wendy stunned.

Toph had always been smart. In addition to Jacob’s visit a few days ago and finding out from him the little news of his elder brother in Jangasas, he quickly pieced the clues together.

“No need to find it odd.” Toph smiled. “I think Zuko’s not only presentable outside but can make himself useful in the kitchen too now!”

“What? Aren’t there people serving him in Jangasas’ villa!?”
