Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1321

Lena looked at him, then quickly finished her salad in large bites.

Even though it was time to wash the dishes, Chris remained deep in thought. The water ran loudly, yet he just stood by the sink, his hands in the cold water. He was motionless like a puppet.

Lena came over and turned off the tap, scolding him lightly, "Do you think the water bill is cheap?"

Startled, Chris seemed to snap back to reality. When he looked at her, she was already moving away with her crutch, not seeming to care.

Chris felt a bit sad. He had never really opened up to anyone before, except Lena now. He hadn't expected...

But if one liked someone, they should accept everything about them.

Chris sighed, grabbed a sponge, and kept washing the dishes. He cleaned the kitchen and cut some fresh fruit for Lena.

That was when Zuko called.

Upon seeing Zuko's name on his phone, Chris' frustration shifted to him. He answered, sounding annoyed, "Hello."

There was a pause on Zuko's side, probably finding this attitude strange.

"Do you want something?" Chris said sharply, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up!"

"No, I...," Zuko hesitated, then decided not to ask, "Are you acting crazy?" like he originally planned.

"How are you two doing? Do you have enough to spend?" After a brief pause, Zuko added. "Lina's… quite concerned about Lena."

Zuko meant to express his concern for Chris and Lena, but he accidentally touched a nerve.

At that very mention, Chris finally exploded. "Why do you keep worrying?! What's there not to be reassured about with me taking care of her?"

"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?" Zuko fired back.

"If you don't have anything important, don't bother calling me!" With this, Chris ended the call and switched off his phone.

On the other end, Zuko was very puzzled, looking at the dark screen for a while.
