Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1041

As expected, Mary brought her daughter over for "medical help" to treat her irregular menstruation the next morning.

Mary believed that this would bring Zuko and her daughter closer, as he wouldn't need to check her pulse during holistic healing.

She confidently smiled while her daughter looked at Zuko with allure, her dark freckles on her face forming a smile.

Conveniently shaking the golden bangles on her wrist, she placed her arm on the table.

Zuko frowned, trying to hide his urge to laugh.

He stayed still, stealing glances at Lina, who stood beside him.

Lina's stern face was both terrifying and cute, especially her pouty, moist, and pink lips that made him recall the taste of the "cotton candy" from the other day.

Just as Mary had Zuko check her daughter's pulse, Lina slammed two marriage certificates on the table!

The mother and daughter were shocked, their eyes wide open as they looked at Lina.

Lina showed her firm stance, lacking the usual gentleness in her beautiful doe eyes, which were now filled with suppressed anger.

Mary smiled shyly, feeling guilty as she glanced at the marriage certificates.

It was uncertain whether Lina was smiling or not. "Mrs. Nash, why don't I check your daughter's pulse? I've learned many things from being with my husband every day. Your daughter has a woman's problem, and a man like him won't be able to cure it. Why don't I do it?"

Mary widened her eyes, guilt and fear welling up as she looked into Lina's eyes that seemed to hide knives. She quickly refused and hurriedly ran out, dragging her daughter along.

Zuko burst into laughter and reached out to grab Lina's hand. However, she shook his hand off.

"What's wrong?" Zuko asked innocently. "I didn't check her pulse. I didn't even look at her!"

While it was true that he hadn't looked at her, the latter's eyes had been fixed on him!

Lina was furious but knew she was being unreasonable. After a moment of calm, she turned around slowly, still devoid of a smile.

"What's wrong?" Zuko ran his fingers through her hair and whispered with a smile, "The first round of the 'husband defense contest' has ended. Lina won!"
