Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1297

"My wife won't have to lift a finger for anything in the future!" Toph said seriously, looking at Renee. "Have you read 'Gone with the Wind'?"

Not well-versed in literature, Renee shook her head with slight embarrassment.

Toph spoke gently. "In the book, there's a part where the female protagonist falls into difficulties and goes to the male protagonist to borrow money. Despite previously claiming to live luxuriously, the male protagonist could tell from her appearance that she was struggling just by looking at her hands. They were rough, giving away her true situation... Do you understand why?"

"I don't know," admitted Renee.

"The male protagonist noticed her hands," Toph said as he held Renee's hand. "Even though she dressed up nicely, her rough hands betrayed her hardships."

"I won't let you end up like that," Toph reassured her with a smile. "When you're with me, you won't have to worry about anything! Leave all the tough and laborious work to me!"

Renee looked at him with tears in her eyes, biting her lip.

Toph gently kissed her forehead and continued with a happy smile. "I want to protect these hands forever. How could I not take good care of them?"

Zuko felt a bit resentful as he didn't have a proper honeymoon, especially when everyone at the Hamerton Group praised him.

"Mr. Zuko is truly impressive! He got married and didn't even go on a honeymoon, showing incredible self-control!"

"Not only did he skip the honeymoon, but he also came to work on the third day after his wedding! His dedication is unmatched!"

"Following in his father's footsteps, indeed!"

Zuko listened silently.

In the afternoon, he had planned to book a seaside cafe for a romantic afternoon tea with Lina. However, while he was given some documents to sign, he accidentally sent the café location to Toph instead of Lina.

Their afternoon tea for two turned into three when Toph, with a hearty appetite, joined them, much to Zuko's displeasure.
