In the study, on the other side.
Chris was also pouring his heart out to Zuko. "Lenny… She..."
"She's perfectly fine." Zuko chuckled. "Apart from her background, what doesn't match up with you? Besides, do we really need to consider family backgrounds when two people are together? You've always been unconventional! You even dared to change the name our great-grandfather gave you."
"I don't care about it, but Lenny is too levelheaded!" Chris smiled wryly. "While others lose their wits when they're in love, I feel like Lenny's IQ keeps increasing the more she's in love!"
"Don't be ungrateful!"
"I'm quite content," Chris said, looking at him. "But just this meeting-the-parents thing, you have to help me!"
Zuko looked at him disdainfully.
"Zuko, I don't care!" Chris started to act like a child. "If you don't agree today, I'll..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll come to cuddle your daughter every day!" Chris smirked. "I'll hold her to sleep and let her know how comfortable it is to be cuddled to sleep. Then, she won't sleep in her crib anymore! You won't be able to put her in bed for the whole night. You'll have to cuddle her all night long! If you don't cuddle her, she'll cry!"
"Chris! This is going too far!"
"So, your answer is?"
Zuko glared at him, gritting his teeth as he spat out one word: "Fine!"
Chris finally raised his eyebrows triumphantly and patted his shoulder.
"But I can't help much. At most, I'll just mediate."
"My dad is manageable." Chris glanced at him. "It's my mom who's more troublesome."
"Alright." Zuko pursed his lips. "I'll consider it!"
