Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1046

"Not yet!" Zuko immediately rejected the idea.

He hadn't revealed his true identity to Lina yet. What would she think if he brought her home like that?

However, Zuko felt relieved upon hearing his mother's response. It seemed his parents were not insistent on him marrying Pamela.

Zuko stammered as he explained, "Um, mom, I'll bring her home when the time is right... She's a good girl. I guarantee you'll like her when you meet her!"

"Really?" Zephyr chimed in, joining the conversation. He glanced at Zuko and chuckled. "My son is finally all grown up!"

Zuko was left speechless. "Dad..."

Zephyr placed his hand on Zuko's shoulder. "Son, we have a marriage agreement with the Thompsons. Although we're not sure if this Pammy is the real one, Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda want the two of you to be together.

"But your mom and I will find an opportunity to talk about it with them. Even if we want the marriage to happen, we must ensure that the girl is their Pammy!"

"Mm-hmm." Zuko looked at his parents gratefully.

Although what he was about to say sounded cheesy, he hugged them and smiled. "I'm so lucky to be your son."

"Alright!" Cordelia patted his back. She checked the time and realized it was time to bake.

She quickly put down her book and headed to the desert glasshouse on the top-floor platform.

As Zuko was leaving, he felt his father poking him after watching his mother walk away.

"Hmm?" He was taken aback and saw the agarwood box in his father's hand. "Dad, what..."

"Besides the emerald ring, take everything in there!" Zephyr said with a smile. "The ring is your mom's favorite, so I can't let you take it. You can take the rest to please the girl you like."

"But what will happen if she finds out?" asked Zuko.

"What else? She'll just deduct my allowance at most!" replied Zephyr.

Zuko stared at his father in disbelief, his amusement evident in a chuckle that escaped his lips. How could his father, who owned the entire Hamertons, be lacking in money? It was perplexing to him.

Yet, Zephyr had been requesting an allowance from Cordelia all his life. One was willing to endure torture, while the other was willing to suffer. Perhaps it was another form of true love.

"Forget it!" Zuko declared, reaching into the box and selecting a bangle, the renowned Le Esse. "Dad, I'll just take this. You can put the box back now."

"That's all?" Zephyr was taken aback. "Would the girl be satisfied?"

"Lina isn't materialistic," Zuko assured him.
