Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1025

"Hmm." Zuko nodded after a moment. "You're right..."

For some reason, Lina's face flashed across his mind at that moment. He recalled sitting together with the Jenners for meals. Jesse, Melissa, and Dave looked like a family because Dave's appearance combined the characteristics of his parents, but Lina was different.

It was often said that daughters resembled their fathers more, but this law seemed ineffective in Jesse and Lina's case.

"Hey, bro?" Toph did not hear Zuko's voice for a while and grew concerned. "What are you doing over there?"

"Oh, nothing," replied Zuko. "I'm almost home. Let's end here. You should rest too."

"Well, I'm already awake. Let's chat for a while more!" Toph lazily suggested, "You live alone in a big villa, and there's no one else around. How about we have a video call?"

"I don't want to chat with you!" Zuko emphasized. "I don't live in a villa, and... people at home are asleep. I don't want to wake them up!"

"What?" Toph suddenly became fully awake. "People at home?"

"Yeah, people at home... What's the big deal?"

Zuko had already entered the alley and came to the entryway as he spoke.

As Toph exclaimed, Zuko mercilessly hung up and turned his phone off directly. He chuckled lightly and tiptoed into the house. His first task was to quietly go upstairs and take a look at her.

Because of the hot weather, Lina rarely closed the door completely when she slept, always leaving a small gap. Zuko stood outside, peeking inside through the gap.

He saw Lina sleeping soundly and noticed that she still kept the banknote with her name on it, the one he had drawn, by her pillow. He also saw her occasionally turning over with a smile on her face.

A sudden thought flashed through Zuko's mind, and he could not help but smile along with her.

He never expected that he would one day linger in a foreign city, and the reason for him staying there would be a moment of heart-pounding attraction.
