Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1127

On this rainy day, a rare moment of coolness, Zuko and Lina found themselves huddled in their room, engaging in various activities like painting, reading, and playing chess, thoroughly enjoying each other's company.

"Zuko, my parents mentioned that they're planning to go back soon," Lina shared.

"What?" Zuko exclaimed, taken aback. "Why so suddenly?"

"It's not sudden!" Lina smiled mischievously, making a strategic move with a black chess piece. "Looks like I'm going to win!"

Zuko chuckled and surrendered, playing along.

"What I mean is, why can't they stay a few more days? There are still so many places in Centrolis they haven't visited yet."

"Well... maybe they feel they've already stayed long enough, and they still have the supermarket to take care of," Zuko replied, his gaze dimming slightly. His expression became somewhat complex. He set the chessboard aside and led Lina to the bookshelf, retrieving a photo album.

Curiosity sparked within Lina.

In a gentle voice, Zuko said, "Since we've come this far in our relationship... I shouldn't have any secrets from you."

"So, are you going to show me your childhood photos?" Lina asked playfully.

Zuko gestured for her to open the album.

She delicately flipped through the pages as if stepping into a magical time machine that transported her back to Zuko's early years.

She saw his one-month-old photo—a tiny, naked baby peacefully asleep, adorned only with a diaper.

His three-month celebration photo—dressed in a vibrant red shirt, chubby hands and feet, a golden charm dangling around his neck.

His one-year-old photo—sporting a shirt with a bowtie, gazing innocently at the camera like a round, plump dumpling.

There were also his three and five-year-old photos—once he could run and jump, he fearlessly engaged in play and exploration.

"This is Toph, right?" Lina pointed to a baby in one of the photos.

"Yes, that's him when he was just born."

"Then... who's this?" Lina noticed another baby, slightly puzzled. "She's wearing pink clothes, so she can't be Toph, right? But I've never heard you mention having a sister or anything..."
