Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1073

"Do you not want to see me?" Zuko asked.

Lina felt a lump in her throat, overwhelmed with emotions. After a moment of shock, she broke into a smile, and tears started pouring down her face. She jumped and tightly embraced him.

Zuko held her tightly in return.

This morning, Zuko had left in a hurry and hadn't had time to shave. His stubble was tickling her neck as his chin rubbed against it.

But she continued to hold him tightly.

It felt like a dream, and Lina was afraid of waking up from it.

Zuko felt the girl in his arms trembling, her shoulders shaking with sobs. He gently patted her back, comforting her like one would comfort a child. "Did my sudden appearance scare you?"

Zuko apologized, "I'm sorry, Lina... I didn't tell you that I was coming. I was worried that you would feel lonely being here alone, so I wanted to come and be with you as soon as possible. That's all."

Zuko had panicked when he heard about Violet's disfigurement from using the face cream Gia had bought. The thought of Lina having to face such a dangerous woman made him lose all sense of reason. He abandoned everything and hastily flew to Southeast Aciatic.

"I've taken care of things back home," Zuko said softly. "I've sorted out the inventory in the store, and I'll only be away for a few days. Your parents said they would take care of the store, and Dave will help too.

"Besides, with Violet's scandal causing chaos among the Grists, they won't have the energy to cause trouble with us. So don't worry. I'll be here for you, and everything will be fine."

"Lina..." Zuko held her cold hands. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Lina stopped crying, smiled, and playfully punched him. "You're so annoying! Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"Would it still have been a surprise if I had told you in advance?" Zuko smiled and gently took out a necklace, putting it around her neck.

The pendant had a cluster of stars and was not particularly expensive. He had wanted to buy her a more expensive one, but he didn't think "Zeke" could afford it.

That's why Zuko had chosen this one.

However, even if he got her a necklace made of glass, Lina would treasure it.
