Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1344

Lena looked at him and met his warm gaze. She did not say anything but subconsciously looked at the pizza. Her heart was chaotic.

Chris tried to reach for her hand, but she evaded him again.

In the moment of his distraction, she reached over, picked a slice of pizza from his plate, and then took a bite of the heart-shaped egg.

"Lena... Lena, this..."

"It's pretty good," she said softly.

Chris was anxious. "I wasn't talking about the egg!"

"You were talking about the pizza?"

"Lena…"

Chris had never blushed because of a woman before.

He let out a deep sigh while Lena remained steady as a rock.

Just then, the owner, Julius Sparks, came over. His booming voice broke the awkward silence.

"Are you both enjoying your meal? Would you like another serving of pizza?"

Chris glanced at the middle-aged man with his elbows on the table. He covered his face with a helpless expression.

"I have to say, this doesn't look like your usual appetite!" Julius chuckled, patting Chris on the shoulder. "You used to order three pizzas and a side! What's this? Trying to appear light in front of a pretty girl today?"

Chris attempted to use his eyes to signal Julius, trying to convey the message to him to cease speaking. Yet, Julius was like a loudspeaker. "No worries, young man! Being able to eat well is a blessing! Hehe, young lady, if you find someone who can eat like this, you're in for a treat in the future!"

Chris almost spat out his food.

"Mr. Sparks, I don't have that kind of luck." He forced a smile. "You don't need to add extra anything for me today. I'm having 'Broken Heart' pizza..."

"Young man, you haven't paid for the pizzas yet!

"I've been playing along so well, and you're not paying?!"

It was late when Lena returned to the Thompsons'. She had planned to wash up and sleep, only to be shocked by a shadow in the living room once she entered!

She automatically switched on the light and realized Renee was sitting in the living room.

Lena froze and nodded at her. Just as she was going to return to her room, Renee's shaky voice came from behind her. "Why?"

Lena turned to look at her with a frown.

Renee stood very straight with her fists clenched tightly on her sides. She bit her lips with a hint of resentment in her distant gaze.
