Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1449

"Lenny, are you adjusting well over there? Do you know that I've been to that mountainous region?"

There was no response from the other end, but Chris continued to talk.

"Haha, you don't believe me? I really have been there! Back when I was still in the military, I assisted a special police unit in that area to eliminate a criminal gang. Hehe... I even earned some merits! So, how about it? Do you think your man is impressive?

"I knew it. You must think I'm impressive!

"By the way, Lenny, Renee... has been prosecuted. Since her last uproar at the Thompsons', Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda have not planned to let her off. She's now receiving the punishment she deserves.

"Lenny, look, they all love you very much... and Pammy sends you messages daily. Haven't you seen them?

"Oh, I know, the signal in the mountains is not great, and you can't receive messages sometimes, right?"

Lena giggled on the other end. That was true—the signal was not very good in the mountains, so she had stopped using her phone. Every day at this time, she would stand in a very old public telephone booth, insert two coins, and listen to Chris' voice.

"Lenny, I..." Chris seemed to have a lot to say today. "I've always wanted to say, I'm sorry."

Lena was taken aback, her heart pounding.

"I know you've always yearned for the warmth of a family. And I... I shattered that dream. I'm sorry."

Lena's lips moved, but no sound came out. Tears streamed down her face.

He understood all of her thoughts. Did he also know that the "family" she yearned for included him?

"Lenny, Pammy misses you a lot," Chris said softly. "She said that whether you have a blood relationship or not, you'll always be her sister."

Lena nodded with a smile while tears flowed down her face. No matter what, Lina would always be her sister, and she would never abandon her sister.

"Pammy will be giving birth in three more months." Chris smiled. "It's said to be a girl. Won't you come back to see the little princess?"

No matter how old Zuko was, that voice would always carry a sense of intimidation by blood.

He turned to meet Zephyr's gaze and chuckled fawningly after a pause. "Dad…"

"You rascal, when you were just born, all you did was cry and feed. As you grew up, you kept your mom awake for years. She couldn't get a full night's sleep!"

Nicholas, who was nearby, shot Zephyr a disdainful look.

"It seems... your house had plenty of servants and nannies back then. It wasn't as difficult as you're making it sound," he said.

Zephyr glared at him. "Don't speak unless spoken to, got it?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lina had been somewhat irritable just a while ago, but her mood had brightened considerably now. She glanced at her phone—still no messages from Lena. She sighed softly.
