Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1390

"Uh, well..." Arya felt sweat forming on her forehead, thinking she had caused trouble. "Why don't all of you visit my studio once Pammy's pregnancy stabilizes?"

The awkward atmosphere didn't dissipate. Arya flushed in embarrassment. Besides comics and games, she really did not know much else.

Lina sensed her discomfort and smiled. "Arya, I suddenly have a craving for milk tea. Could you help me get a cup?"

It felt like amnesty was granted to Arya as she glanced at Lina gratefully, then hurriedly rushed out of the room.

Toph lowered his head, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Renee knew she was in the wrong but did not say anything and hastily walked out of the room.

"Renee!" Toph was taken aback. Even when he called her, there was no response. He quickly followed after her.

Zuko did not manage to stop him in time.

Lina tugged at his hand, both of them helpless.

"Forget it. Let them handle it themselves." Zuko sighed lightly. "Toph needs to grow up too."

"Honey..."

"I know. You still hold onto a glimmer of hope for Renee and even feel a bit guilty." Zuko looked into her eyes. "But the current Renee has changed. She's... Melvin's daughter, after all."

"What do you mean by that?" Lena's guard was up immediately. "Are you saying that Renee might harm Lina?"

Chris nudged her with his elbow, jealous inwardly but trying to dissuade her from getting too worked up.

"Zuko..."

The Hamertons were well-known for their strong sense of family values among the four major families. Whoever dared to harm their family was like poking a hornet's nest—their fate would be dire.

It was just that Renee was different...

Lina took a deep breath, feeling her temples throb. She leaned against Zuko's chest, listening to the powerful rhythm of his heartbeat, and wearily closed her eyes.

"Don't worry, Zuko!" Lena affirmed with determination. "I share the same thoughts as you. Anyone who dares to harm Lina, I'll fight them to the end whether they're a cousin or not!"

"Rest assured, Zuko." Chris chuckled. "With our Lenny here, Pammy will definitely be safe! But I think you should be more concerned about Toph right now. He is still quite childish in his ways and might not handle this change well."
