Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1245

Lina hadn't had the chance to refuse before Desiree hung up.

Renee winced. "Why is she like this? Doesn't she even ask if others want to go?"

Lina smiled with a hint of helplessness. People with such personalities were usually self-centered, carefree, and straightforward, seemingly lacking a scheming mind.

Could she be wrong about Desiree all along, just like Renee suggested? However, her past experiences told her that it was always good to be cautious and have a guarded approach toward people and things.

"Cuz, are we going?" Renee asked.

Lina paused momentarily and smiled gently. "Have you finished all your work?"

"More or less."

"Then let's go and relax!" She was also curious to see what Desiree had planned.

Not long after, Lina and Renee arrived at the agreed location—a small Ilbon-style bar.

Interestingly, the owner was a local from Jangasas. The bar was situated in a quiet part of the city center, surrounded by many mimosa trees. In summer, the pink fluffy blossoms created a dreamy and magical sight.

The owner knew that many Jangasas people were working in Centrolis, so he added Jangasas dishes to the menu, allowing those far from home to taste the flavors of their hometown.

As Lina stepped inside, she couldn't help but pause, catching a whiff of the aroma of home-cooked dishes.

Desiree emerged from a private room, greeting them warmly and leading them to a room with mats to sit on.

Lina and Renee were surprised to find familiar faces in the room.

"Why are you two here?" Renee was taken aback when she saw Toph.

Lina glanced at Zuko. Unlike Renee, she did not move from her seat. It was Zuko who eagerly moved his cushion closer to sit beside her.

"I can't believe you guys!" Desiree sat alone at the table and said with a smile, "Isn't it too warm sitting so close? This private room is spacious enough. You can sit a bit farther apart!"

However, her words fell on deaf ears, and none of the four responded to her. She tried to start a few more conversations, but the result was the same.

Toph and Renee were busy ordering food, while Zuko was busy holding Lina's hand under the table.

Desiree's smile faltered as she noticed Lina's slightly shy expression. This scene wasn't quite what she had imagined. Nonetheless, she still managed to force a smile and inched closer to Zuko without saying anything.

"Hey, Toph!" Desiree shook her phone. "What level are you at? Do you want to play a round?"

Toph's eyes immediately lit up as he fixed his gaze on Desiree's phone screen, seeing her playing the same game he usually played.
