“Leighton… I get it. Don’t worry. I won’t date anyone. Can we eat now?”

Zora kept a blank expression on her face. She had sat through Leighton’s thirty-minute lecture on relationships.

She never understood how someone who had never dated a day in his life could talk so confidently about all the dangers of falling in love.

He had gone on and on, listing every possible downside.

Dating would ruin her grades. Boys would scam her out of money and toy with her heart. She would end up heartbroken and crying nonstop.

If she picked the wrong guy, she would get tricked into some remote mountain village, forced to do hard labor all day with no meat to eat.

She would end up with a bunch of kids clinging to her, calling for their mom while she kept working nonstop.

He even rambled about worst-case scenarios-getting her organs harvested, being drained of everything she had, and finally ending up dead, dumped in the mountains for wild wolves to tear apart…

Zora shivered hard.

Leighton’s dramatic speech had left a deep impression on her.

Zora had never even thought about dating in the first place.

But after all his made-up, scary warnings, she was genuinely spooked.

Just the word “dating” was enough to make her head hurt now.

Don’t date. Don’t date. Date someone and lose your organs. That was all she could think of.

“It’s not that I won’t let you date at all. You’re just too young and easy to get tricked right now.

“If some bad guy stole you away, I would be heartbroken.”

Leighton looked at her clear, sober eyes.

She definitely listened. She wouldn’t get fooled by boys easily now. He finally felt a little relieved.

“Mm, no dating.” Zora nodded obediently.

Leighton checked her expression. She didn’t look upset at all. A small smile tugged at his lips.

He cleared his throat and continued, “If you ever like someone later on, you bring him to me first so I can check him out.

“I won’t stop you if he’s a good person. But right now, studying is your only priority.

“Once you finish your SATS and enter university, there will be tons of great guys waiting for

you.

“The immature high school boys aren’t worth your time. They’re still kids, no use to you at all.”

As he spoke, he sighed inwardly. Raising a girl was truly exhausting.

He couldn’t raise her roughly like a boy. He had to worry about every single little thing.

He constantly feared some bad boy would sweep her off her feet.

Jensen had trusted her to him. If some random kid tricked her away, Jensen would definitely come after him.

For his own peace of mind, he had to keep a close eye on her.

“Okay,” Zora agreed obediently.

“Let’s go eat then. I made sticky honey wings and barbecue ribs…”

“You made two meat dishes today!” Zora’s eyes lit up instantly.

She was overjoyed at the surprise.

Leighton smiled faintly. “People would think I’m starving you.”

He would cook her a full feast if her body could handle it.

“Hurry up. The ribs will get tough if they sit too long and taste bad.”

Zora quickly scrambled out of bed.

The sunset had fully faded while Leighton lectured her, leaving only faint warm light spilling through the windows.

“Slow down. I’m not catching you if you fall.”

Seeing her rushing around carelessly, Leighton walked over to the bed in two quick steps.

“Where are my shoes?” Zora looked down but couldn’t find her slippers.

Leighton had carried her straight in without letting her change shoes.

“Wait here. I’ll get them. Don’t step on the floor.”

Leighton turned and walked out.

Zora had planned to step on the floor anyway, but he had seen through her thoughts.

The bedroom was fully carpeted, but the living room floor was cold tile.

Her body was weak, and prolonged contact with cold ground would harm her health.

Leighton came back with her slippers in seconds.

Seeing her sitting quietly on the bed waiting, he placed the shoes neatly by her feet.

“Here you go. Your highness, please put on your shoes.”

His amused, soft voice drifted into her ears, making her earlobes tingle.

“Leighton, you actually keep up with internet trends now.”

Zora slipped her feet into the slippers and stared at him in surprise.

“I’m not an old-fashioned fossil.” Leighton sounded helpless.

The first time she said those cartoon nicknames to him, he had been completely confused.

After that, he had his assistant sort out all the latest internet slang regularly.

He didn’t want to be clueless one day if she ever hinted at wanting to leave him.

“Fix yourself up. I’ll go plate the ribs.”

Zora was still wearing the formal dress from the banquet, all crumpled after wearing it the whole afternoon.

“Okay.”

Leighton turned and walked out of the room.

He only meant to check if she was awake earlier, but he had ended up staying far longer than planned.

After sleeping the whole afternoon and getting lectured and scared by Leighton, Zora was back to her usual self.

Wendy had slapped her, but she had slapped her right back. Most of her anger was gone.

She would have felt suffocated and wronged forever if she had let that slap slide.
