Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1351

Toph paused, then he smiled, ruffling Renee's hair affectionately.

"I really want to marry you soon, too," he said gently. "But... Aunt Kaitlyn just passed, so it might not be appropriate for us to have the wedding now."

"Toph, do you also believe in these things?"

"I'm not superstitious," Toph explained seriously. "It's just human nature. To hold a wedding immediately after a funeral, the outsiders might think—"

"Do you care a lot about what others think?"

Toph furrowed his brow, at a loss for words. He felt that Renee was somewhat different.

No, it was not just today. Since Kaitlyn's death, it was as if all of Renee's happiness had been taken away along with her mother. She became sensitive and suspicious and rarely smiled or spoke. Her once introverted personality had become even more gloomy and melancholic.

Toph tried his best to make her happy. But he knew it wouldn't be easy for her to feel better quickly. Losing her mother had been hard, especially because she was there when Kaitlyn passed away, and they were very close.

Toph held Renee's hand, his words sincere. "Renee, you know I'm not the type to care about what others think. I... I'm just worried about how outsiders might gossip about you."

Renee took a deep breath, gradually calming down. She had gotten a bit too worked up just now.

Marrying Toph was a certainty, and the Hamertons had even sent the gifts. How could they possibly call off the wedding?

Until this matter was officially done, however, she could not help but feel uncertain. Toph was her sole reliance in this world, and she was terrified of losing him.

Renee tightly held his hand, her eyes resembling deep pools. After a lengthy pause, she gently inquired, "We will marry, won't we?"

"Absolutely," Toph replied confidently.

"For sure?"
