Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1026

Zuko's expression changed as he tried hard to hold back his laughter.

He thought he should have recorded that just now and let his father listen to it!

Which family man was in such a miserable state aside from Zephyr?

"Zeke!" Melissa smiled and looked at Zuko. "What would you like to have for lunch? I'll make it for you!"

"Oh, no need." Zuko quickly got up. "Auntie, you take good care of Mr. Jenner. I'll go to the supermarket."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the house and did not hear Melissa calling out from behind, "Lina doesn't have classes in the afternoon. I'll let her come to the store too and work with you!"

The sound of her voice grew distant, and Zuko had no idea what she was shouting. She probably wanted to keep him for lunch!

Zuko chuckled and quickened his pace.

There were not many customers in the small supermarket in the afternoon, and he had a rare moment of leisure. When someone suddenly entered, he sat bored behind the cash register, flipping through his phone.

"Oh, Zeke, you're here alone!"

Zuko paused for a moment and looked closely.

The middle-aged woman was slightly chubby with an exaggerated attire, draped in bright red and purple colors. She carried a branded handbag, but it looked like a fake when she held it—it gave off a counterfeit vibe.

The woman's eyes curved with a smile. They were fixed on him as soon as she entered.

Zuko could not stand her gaze and immediately retreated.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that Melissa's permed hair was much more pleasing to the eyes compared to this woman's exaggerated hairdo!

"Zeke, why are you spacing out?" The middle-aged woman looked at the young man in front of her like a son-in-law, becoming more satisfied the longer she looked. "Don't you remember who I am? I'm Mrs. Nash!"

Zuko struggled to extract the memories related to "Mrs. Nash" from his brain.

Several families lived along the lane, and one of them seemed to have the surname Nash. The woman of the household seemed to be... Mary Nash?

The Nashes owned a hair salon, and their shop was also on this street.

Melissa often made appointments with Mary to go dancing, but Melissa did not like Mary and vice versa. In short, they were friendly rivals who competed openly and secretly.

Mary also had a daughter who was similar in age to Lina.

However, unlike Lina, the Nash daughter did not attend an elite university but went to an ordinary vocational school to learn a trade and earn money.

Mary often made fun of Melissa, saying, "You spent so much money on tuition fees on a lost cause."

Melissa did not back down and mocked her in return, saying, "We're raising our daughter to let her broaden her horizons, so she won't be fooled by someone offering her a piece of candy in the future! Unlike some people who treat their daughters as money-making tools!"

In spite of it, the reality was that after Mary's daughter graduated from vocational school, she returned home to take over the family's small shop and ran it successfully, even preparing to open a third branch.

While the Nash daughter was making a lot of money for her family, Lina was still struggling with her thesis, spending a lot of her family's money.

Every time Mary's daughter came back dressed lavishly, Melissa would tightly shut her own front door.

Recently, though, Melissa's proudest moment was when Zuko appeared, holding up the family's pride!
