Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1287

"Let me explain." Chris chuckled. "My real name is Crius. I realized it sounded too feminine when I joined my unit, so I changed it to Chris!"

"That's right. He's the only one in the family who dared to change his name," Zuko said, chuckling. "Our great-grandfather named us, and Chris just went ahead and changed it!"

Chris shrugged. "A name is just an insignia. As long as people remember it, it should be fine. Am I right, Ms. Harding?"

He looked at Lena, who had been quiet all this while.

Meanwhile, Lena's mind seemed to be elsewhere. After a moment, she glanced at him blankly and asked, "Did you call me?"

Chris faked a chuckle. "Who else would it be? You're the only one with the last name Harding here."

"Oh," she replied flatly. "I'm not used to people calling me that."

"Well..."

"Didn't you say that a name is just an insignia?" Lena's expression remained unchanged. "Lena is my insignia."

She lifted her head to look at him, revealing her beautiful face under the cap.

She appeared to be a proper lady with her lovely features, fair skin, and quiet demeanor.

However, he couldn't forget her fearless heroism when they fought Albert together in uniform the other day.

A strange feeling gripped Chris's heart—a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Lena?" he said softly. "How do I spell that?"

"Lena."

"Lenny?"

"What did you say?" She raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing repulsion.

"Oh, sorry," Chris quickly corrected himself. "I just thought it would be a nice endearment... Can I call you that from now on?"
