Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1072

Lina glanced at the screen, then quickly looked away. She couldn't see what was happening behind Zuko.

"I called you so many times, but you didn't answer... Is your phone just for show? Or do you not want me to call anymore? Is there something or someone more interesting over there?" Her jealousy was evident and overflowing.

Zuko smiled mischievously and teased her intentionally. "Mm-hmm. I was occupied with something today."

Lina bit her lip and ignored him.

Zuko's voice deepened. "Lina, look up. There are so many stars tonight."

Lina didn't understand what he meant. She didn't notice the familiar figure standing silently behind a tree nearby, staring at her.

Lina glanced at her phone again, only to find darkness behind Zuko.

The time difference in Jangasas was one hour. It should be evening there.

"W-What about you?" Lina asked. "Are there stars over there?"

"Yes." Zuko chuckled. "I was just having a conversation with a star, asking it to keep you company."

Lina was taken aback, but she couldn't help smiling. "Since when did you become so cheesy?"

"I'm not being cheesy. I'm just being sincere," Zuko said in a serious tone.

Lina was slightly perplexed, and then she heard him say, "Are you in the hotel courtyard?"

"Yes..."

"There's a big banyan tree there. We had a video call last time."

Lina turned her head to look.

Indeed, there was a magnificent banyan tree standing tall. It could create a forest on its own. The canopy was wide, and the leaves were lush. It was truly majestic.

Lina's mind went blank.

And then, someone actually walked out from behind the banyan tree, slowly emerging into view!

Zuko seemed like a ray of light, with a big smile and a gentleness in his eyes that mirrored the stars.

Lina was dumbfounded.

She stared at him blankly. Everything felt like a dream—she couldn't believe it.

"Z-Zeke?" Her voice trembled after a long pause. "Why are you here?!"

Zuko smiled as he approached her. Her bewildered expression made him laugh and feel sorry for her. He played with her hair and lightly tapped the tip of her nose, making her believe everything was real.

At that moment, she felt as though the burning desire in his eyes and the warmth of his touch were meant for her and her alone.
