Chapter 781 No Lock-picking
Allowed “It has a different meaning to come to your house to meet your parents.” “What’s different?” “It’s the son-
in-law’s first visit. How could it be the same?” Zayla chuckled. “Mr. Nash, I didn’t expect you to care about this.”
“What can I do? I’m just afraid you, this heartless sugar mommy, will fall in love with someone else.” Well, I, this
heartless sugar mommy, will show some kindness for once and take you home to meet my parents!” Zayla
thought, “It wasn’t too late to introduce Lincoln to my parents now!” Zayla took Lincoln’s hand and led him towards
the villa, but Lincoln stopped abruptly and didn’t move.
Zayla looked back at Lincoln, puzzled. Suddenly, Lincoln tightened his grip and pulled Zayla into his arms, holding
Zayla’s face and kissing Zayla deeply. In the distance, countless fireworks lit up the night sky.
“My little girl, Merry New Year’s Eve.” Fortunately, Lincoln made it in time. Lincoln’s appearance surprised Theodore
and Scarlet. Only Stephen sat by quietly, not surprised at all, with a change in his expression for a few seconds. Evie
noticed.
Theodore immediately introduced Lincoln to Evie. One was the fiancé of Stephen, and the other was the fiancé of
Zayla. When the two met for the first time, they simply nodded but didn’t say anything.
“Zayla said you went to Valley City and didn’t know when you’d return. Why did you come back tonight?” Theodore
asked. “It just didn’t feel like New Year without Zayla by my side.”

care of everything?” Lincoln nodded. “That’s good.”
“Dad, what do you mean by ‘don’t let her distract you from important matters’?” Zayla propped up her chin, no
longer absent-minded. Her beautiful eyes sparkled. Theodore glanced at Zayla and then at Lincoln, asking, “Lincoln,
do you think I said something wrong?”
Lincoln smirked and replied, “Zayla is my most important matter.” Scarlet smiled, thinking it was a very pleasing
answer. Lincoln didn’t answer whether Theodore was right or wrong.
But Lincoln perfectly avoided the words “important matters” and expressed that Zayla was the most important
person to him. Scarlet was also very satisfied with Lincoln!
Zayla looked at Lincoln, blinked at him, then pulled on Theodore’s sleeve, changing the subject, “Dad, since Lincoln
is here, did you forget something?” Theodore was puzzled by Zayla’s question.
Did I forget something?” Theodore was confused. “You can’t let Lincoln call you Uncle for the rest of his life, can
you?”
Theodore suddenly realized and laughed, thinking, “So it’s about this!” “When it comes to this, you remember that
I’m your dad, huh? You naughty brat!” Zayla snickered. “Then let Lincoln call you Uncle for the rest of his life.
Anyway, I’m going to make him mine, and I don’t care how he addresses you.”
Theodore lowered his voice, “What do you mean you’re going to make him yours? You shameless girl!” Then
Theodore turned to Scarlet. “Scarlet, say something to her. How can she be so disobedient on New Year’s Eve!”
Scarlet sighed, “As the leader goes, so goes the rest.” Theodore was speechless. Zayla giggled and hugged
Scarlet’s arm. “Mom is always the best to me.” Then Scarlet urged Theodore, “Alright, take it out quickly.”
Theodore and Scarlet took out another gift that had been prepared for this occasion. This gift was the most
enthusiastically received one in Lincoln’s life.
Lincoln was normally calm and composed, but at this moment, he couldn’t keep his cool. If Lincoln changed the way
he addressed Theodore, he would take another step closer to becoming Zayla’s man.
“Dad.”
“Mom.”
Merry New Year’s Eve.”
Lincoln’s deep voice sounded, extremely magnetic, making people irresistible. Theodore and Scarlet were very
satisfied and nodded in agreement.
Tonight, Lincoln would be staying over, and so would Evie. Scarlet immediately instructed the maids to prepare two
guest rooms. Zayla led Lincoln to the guest room, which was a distance away from her room.
“Good night, my gigolo.” Zayla tried to pull her hand away, but Lincoln held it tightly. “Lincoln?” Zayla turned to look
at him. Lincoln turned his head and looked back at Zayla.
Zayla understood his gaze and pointed to the room across from his. “That’s my parents’ room.

“No lock-picking allowed.”
Zayla suppressed a laugh, her eyes curved with amusement. Lincoln couldn’t help but feel helpless. He had to be a
well-behaved potential son-in-law tonight.
“Goodnight.” Lincoln kissed Zayla’s forehead and let go of Zayla’s hand. Lincoln watched Zayla walk into her room
before closing the door to his own.
Meanwhile, downstairs. After Stephen escorted Evie to the guest room, he didn’t go back to his own room. Instead,
he stood in the hallway for a while.
Snow started falling outside, and he watched the drifting snowflakes through the glass. Suddenly, footsteps could be
heard… Evie came over to Stephen.
Stephen noticed Evie and asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” It was almost 2 a.m. “You haven’t slept either,
have you?” Evie smiled at him. “I usually sleep late.” Evie nodded and said, “I can’t sleep.”
“Are you having trouble with the unfamiliar bed?” Stephen asked. Evie shook her head. “I’ve never had a peaceful
sleep at the Olsen Villa. I’m used to it.”
“From now on, you can sleep soundly every night when you’re here,” Stephen said firmly. “So, you’ll have to change
this habit.” Evie replied seriously, “Then you’ll have to change your habit too. Let’s change together, okay?”
