After wailing, she excitedly grabbed Nancy's hand, furiously shouting, "Nan, tell me, why does a pianist need to run? Morning runs are fine, but even evening runs? I think he doesn't want me to become an international pianist; he wants me to become a long-distance running champion!"

Her roaring expression looked exactly like a little kitten baring its claws, making Nancy laugh, "Hahaha, I think Patrick Hastings wants you to become an international pianist with a strong physique, hahaha..."

"Hmph!"

Linda crossed her arms, gritting her teeth and growling, "I think he wants me to become the King Kong Barbie of the piano world!"

"Poof..."

This time, not only did Nancy laugh until she collapsed into Linda's arms, but even Henry and Michael couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Michael laughed until tears came out, turning to Charlie, "Mr. Firth, where did you find this treasure? She's too adorable, no, no, she's taken cuteness to the extreme. Really, I've never seen such a cute girl, hahaha..."

Henry looked at Linda, and for once, he smiled brightly, "Indeed very cute. With her around, any depression would be cured."

Charlie chuckled softly without saying a word. When Nancy refused to talk to anyone, the first and only person he thought of was Linda.

Indeed, his choice was correct!

Linda ignored their conversation, continuing to pour out her woes to Nancy while holding her hand.

"Nan, I'm so miserable. I called my parents for help, and not only did they not help me, but they also said I needed strict discipline. They even sent a thank-you letter to my teacher!"

"Hahaha..."

Nancy laughed until her stomach hurt. She finally understood why Linda was so adorable—because her parents were equally adorable.

Linda pouted in frustration, "Nan, you have no idea how much I envy you!"

Nancy's smile froze instantly, and even her eyes showed a hint of sadness, "Envy me for what? For not knowing who my parents are since childhood?"

"How can you say that?"

Linda puffed out her cheeks angrily, lifting her hand to pinch Nancy's cheeks.

"Look at you. You have a handsome, wealthy, and charming husband who dotes on you endlessly, protects you in every way, and trusts you completely. You also have a handsome brother who would do anything for you, listening to your every command. But what about me..."

She grew more and more upset, even her eyes reddening, "I don't even have a boyfriend, let alone an excellent and loving husband. And I certainly don't have a brother who treats me so well! Are you happy or not!?"

Nancy's gaze shifted from Linda's face to the sofa, her heart melting bit by bit from Linda's words. Yes, she had a husband who treated her so well and a brother who was so obedient. What was there to be depressed about?

"Oh my God..."

Linda suddenly exclaimed, "Please also give me such a good husband and such an obedient brother!"

Her sudden outburst startled Nancy, who reflexively looked at her.

"Nan, the heavens are fair. When they close one door for you, they will open a window. How do you know this window isn't better than the door? Besides, at least you have a door. Isn't that better than those who have both doors and windows blocked?"
