Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1299

Zuko looked increasingly frustrated as Chris remained perplexed, prompting several exasperated eye rolls.

While Zuko cleaned the kitchen, Chris followed closely, asking, "Why did you tell me to shoot her? That's not like you at all, without reason!

"Is there something bothering you? Did she offend you in some way?

"But, Zuko, that doesn't add up. You don't hold grudges over trivial matters, especially not with a young girl!

"Zuko, what's—"

"Enough!" Zuko's frustration turned his face red, and he growled, "Just get back to work!"

Chris was taken aback. He scratched his head and offered a friendly smile, even though he didn't quite understand the situation.

Chris efficiently handled all the dirty and tiring work throughout the kitchen cleanup, thanks to his military background and cleaning skills.

"When I first joined the army, I was assigned to the mess hall." Chris laughed.

Zuko raised an eyebrow. "Then why didn't you stick with that?"

"I was ambitious back then, focused on becoming a real special forces soldier. I wasn't happy with the assignment but couldn't openly voice my dissatisfaction, so I wrote it all down…

"Little did I know, a comrade discovered my notes and reported it to the higher-ups. That's how I got the chance to become a sniper."

Zuko chuckled. "If that comrade of yours hadn't talked so much, you might have become a five-star chef by now! We could've offered you a position at Splendor Hotel!"

Chris playfully grabbed a ladle, threatening to hit him. "I swear, you're becoming more and more like your brother!"

Zuko smirked. Marriage had changed him. He used to be reserved and serious, but now he cracked jokes and felt like a different person.

As Chris finished cleaning, he leaned against the refrigerator to chat.

"Speaking of writing secrets down..." He glanced around and then whispered, "I've made a significant discovery!"

"What is it?"
