Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1050

Gia froze, feeling the weight of Lina's refusal for the first time since they had become friends.

Zuko, who had been silent, was surprised by Lina's unexpected response. He had thought that she would prioritize her best friend and give the bangle to Gia. That's why he had tried to stop her earlier.

Lina's response exceeded Zuko's expectations and warmed his heart. He couldn't help but feel a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.

Gia smiled awkwardly, her emotions flickering as she looked at the couple before her. But she quickly regained her composure and changed her approach. "I understand that you value this bangle a lot, and I'm not refusing to give it back to you after trying it on. So... can I at least take a photo?"

Gia knew that Lina had a soft heart, and with a pitiful expression, she believed Lina would agree. After all, it was just a bangle. What harm could there be in taking a photo of it?

Although Gia couldn't explain why, she had a gut feeling that this bangle was extraordinary and wanted Melvin to know about it. With that thought in mind, she smiled lightly and reached out to hold Lina's arm.

However, Lina evaded her touch, calmly removing the bangle and placing it into Zuko's hand. She smiled at Gia and said, "Zeke, it's better to keep such a valuable item safe to prevent any damage."

Zuko was momentarily taken aback but quickly smiled and turned to head upstairs, carrying the bangle with him.

Gia was caught off guard. "Lina, you..."

As Zuko disappeared upstairs into his room, Lina apologetically smiled and tried to hold Gia's arm. "I'm sorry."

Gia's expression darkened, and she shook off Lina's hand.

"Gia!" Lina called out, looking at her with concern. "That... was a gift from Zeke to me, and I don't want anyone else touching it or taking pictures of it. I hope you can understand."

"I see. Now that you have a man, you've forgotten about your best friend!" Gia crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at Lina. "It's just a bangle. What's so special about it? When I have a boyfriend, I'll have him buy me a whole collection of them!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lina agreed with a smile. "Zeke told me that the bangle isn't expensive. Considering your family's current situation, you can afford to buy one too!"

Lina's words were meant to console Gia, but she was unaware that they came across as mocking and insulting.

It was as if she was implying, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have the money to buy a bangle, would you?"
