Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1395

"Nothing like that!" Zuko's eyes flickered with a complex glint. "I'm just asking on your behalf. If you really marry Lena in the future, your dad will surely ask about it even if I don't!"

Chris paused and put down his cutlery with a frown.

Lena's expression also changed slightly. She forced herself to remain composed, ate some soup, and then placed the bowl and spoon in the sink.

Zuko left after that, leaving only her and Chris in the room.

She cleared the table and was about to wash the dishes when Chris' hands suddenly blocked her way.

"The water's cold. I'll wash them."

Lena paused and saw Chris had already turned on the tap, swiftly washing the pots and dishes.

She listened to the soothing flow of water, silently observing him. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his strong forearms. The sink was a bit low, making him bend slightly, yet his broad back remained as reassuring as ever like the protective fortress guarding her heart.

What about her? Was her background deserving of someone as outstanding as him?

Zuko had spoken somewhat casually, but she took his words to heart. If they were to have a future together, she'd need to meet Chris' parents.

Would Marco and his wife be as relaxed and unconcerned with social status as Cordelia and Zephyr?

Additionally, she had already decided to keep her birth secret buried deep within. If they asked about it, how could she explain?

Her thoughts were as tangled as a jumble of threads.

Before Chris came into her life, these thoughts had never crossed her mind, and she hadn't cared about them. But now, after meeting him, she truly desired a future with him.

"Lenny, what's wrong?"

"Huh?" Lena snapped back to reality.
