Chapter 16: Father-in-Law



T/N: This chapter is cringe for me to read. Don't know about you all. But please bear with this chapter. You can skip some parts as this is not very important chapter.

*************************************

Watching Zane's somewhat embarrassed figure, Lorna, who was initially in a shy state, couldn't help but burst into laughter with a "puchi" sound. She silently placed down the kitchen knife she had been hiding in her hand.

Her past experiences had made her less likely to completely trust someone she had known for less than half a day. Although her inner self told her that she could fully trust Zane, it required a transitional period.

Zane had long noticed Lorna's little actions but didn't mention them. He even thought that Lorna's behavior was normal. Reality wasn't like a novel; it wasn't so easy for a woman who had just met you to completely trust you, even though the threat level of that kitchen knife to Zane was close to zero.

By the time Zane had cooled down with a cold shower, Lorna had already taken her medicine and was waiting for him on the sofa, seemingly wanting to ask Zane something.

Zane also noticed Lorna's peculiar behavior and took the initiative to inquire, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you so good to me?"

Zane looked at the uneasy Lorna, suddenly smiled warmly, and rubbed Lorna's head.

"Would you believe me if I said I find you pleasing to the eye?"

Zane's sudden head-patting made Lorna's face turn red again. She looked into Zane's clear eyes and smiled.

"I believe you, after all, I'm so cute and pretty."

Zane was amused by Lorna's teasing. Laughing heartily, at the same time, the distance between the two disappeared completely at that moment.

It was still early, and neither of them felt sleepy. They sat together in the living room and watched TV. As time passed, at some point, Lorna had already nestled into Zane's arms and fallen asleep.

Gently watching Lorna peacefully sleeping in his arms, Zane felt that his heart was filled with something indescribable. Unable to resist, he lowered his head and kissed Lorna's forehead. Lorna, seemingly aware of something, smiled sweetly in her dream.

In his previous life, Zane didn't believe in love at first sight at all. He thought it was just a superficial attraction based on appearances. However, now he was starting to believe...

Finally, Zane turned off the TV, carefully picked up Lorna, and placed her on the bed. Tenderly covering her with a blanket, he turned and went back to his room.

Sleeping together? Sleeping together is impossible. What if one's beastly instincts take over? If they decide to sleep together, it should be when both are adults. On this matter, Zane's awareness is quite high.

However, in the middle of the night, a petite figure sneakily crawled into Zane's bed, lying on Zane's broad chest, enjoying a deep breath.

Seeing that Zane was still asleep, Lorna let out a relaxed sigh. Then, she hugged Zane's arm and peacefully fell asleep. However, she didn't see the smirk forming at the corners of Zane's mouth.

Both Lorna and Zane slept better than ever tonight. After all, sleeping alone in a bed can be a bit chilly.

The next day, Zane first took Lorna to get her hair done, then bought a bunch of clothes and miscellaneous items. Afterward, he went to the government building to help Lorna obtain a green card.

In the United States, life can be challenging without legal status. It's difficult to find a decent job or rent a place to live. If not for her, Lorna would have no choice but to resort to stealing. A part-time job could easily provide her with enough to eat and wear.

As for identity information, Zane had asked Skynet to take care of it last night, a piece of cake for Skynet. Finally, Zane took Lorna to the high school he was currently attending and helped her with the enrollment procedures. With Zane's monetary assault, Lorna was decisively placed in Zane's class.

Yes, Zane is currently in high school. He had taken a few days off to inherit his parents' legacy. Zane was quite willing to attend this high school. In his previous life, even though Zane was an orphan, with the country's support and his own efforts, he completed the entire process from elementary school to university. He deeply understood what the greatest wealth discovered by humanity over thousands of years was.

It was the beliefs and knowledge passed down by generation after generation of ancestors. These beliefs might seem similar to inspirational quotes at first glance, but over a decade, this precious wealth handed down by ancestors could help shape the right worldview and broaden one's horizons.

Although Zane is currently pursuing power, he sincerely believes that power is nothing compared to these beliefs. Mindlessly pursuing power would only make oneself a slave to power. Without a strong worldview and beliefs, a person would gradually become nauseating, even to themselves.

This is why Zane decided to go through the student experience again. Moreover, American education is quite different from that of his family. He can learn a lot, and according to his memories, he also has a classmate named Peter Parker. If they meet, who knows if it will trigger some missions.

Looking at Lorna's appearance, Zane knew that she had never been to school. Fortunately, her personality hadn't gone awry. If she turned into something like Magneto with advanced chuunibyou, Zane would have no place to cry. This is why Zane wanted Lorna to go to school.

Zane is blissfully unaware that the Magneto he's poking fun at is Lorna's biological father and his future father-in-law.

Of course, Zane is a bit reluctant to leave Lorna, but just a bit. It's genuinely just a bit. There's absolutely no ulterior motive to provide dog food for single dogs.

After taking care of everything for Lorna, the two returned to the mansion together. Lorna, still in a daze, looked at the beautiful and slightly icy youth in the mirror, wondering if it was really her.

While Lorna was still lost in thought, Zane hugged her from behind.

"In the future, please take care of me."

"Sure…"
