Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1455

Lena giggled.

It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.

Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemblance to someone in the way her eyes looked, like a familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.

Elijah said in a low voice, "Lena, I've resigned."

Lena nodded. "I just heard in the room. Are you really not planning to continue at the Thompson Group?"

"I have my own things to do."

"Alright." Lena shrugged.

"You seem... not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?"

"Why should I care?" Lena looked at him sideways. "As long as you don't go against Lina, you can be anywhere. But if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I'll bring you back from the ends of the earth."

Elijah was at a loss for words.

Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family's company and work with him. After all, he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be better to work with someone he knew well.

It seemed there was no need to ask now.

Lena would not go.

In her heart, no one was as important as Lina.

Despite that, Elijah was curious. It was previously said that Lena was the illegitimate child of the Thompsons. According to that logic, her protectiveness of the Thompsons was understandable. Now that it was clarified that Nicholas had no illegitimate children, why was she still so loyal?

And why did his Chriss family not have someone so loyal?

"Daddy, look!" Just as he was thinking, he heard Nala's sweet voice. "It seems like the little baby woke up!"

Elijah paused.

She did!

Persephone stretched out her little hands and kicked her tiny feet, making cooing sounds.

The nanny and maternity nurse hurriedly checked if she had wet her diaper.

Nala asked curiously while holding Elijah's hand, "Dad, was I like that when I was little?"

Elijah could not answer. He had not been involved in his daughter's growth.

Lena looked at him with disdain, took Nala's hand, and softly replied, "Every baby is like this when they are little. Look, doesn't the little baby look like a little angel?"

"Yes!" Nala held Elijah with one hand and Lena with the other, flashing them a sweet smile.

Chris happened to see the scene.

He was somewhat dazed, standing at the end of the corridor. Elijah, Lena, and Nala were holding hands—like a family. What was even stranger was that the expressions on the three of them and even the curves of their smiles seemed to look alike...

Chris' face fell.

Elijah clearly had a wife! Why was he getting so close to Lena?

He felt uncomfortable like there were knots tied on a string, and jealousy was fermenting in his heart.

He cleared his throat and walked over, deliberately standing next to Lena.

Nala saw his scowl and timidly let go of Lena's hand. Chris was inwardly impressed by Nala's keen eye. He took Lena's hand and held it tightly, intertwining their fingers.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chriss." He introduced himself politely, "I'm Chris Hamerton. We've probably met before."

Elijah smiled politely. The special forces member from the Hamertons and the only one who dared to change his name on his own accord… Who would not recognize him?

"Mr. Hamerton, a pleasure to meet you."

"I heard that you've resigned?" Chris smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "In that case, I'd like to wish you a prosperous and successful future!"

"Thank you."
