Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1456

Lena stiffened momentarily, her mind in a daze. This was not the first time Chris had suggested going home to meet his parents and discuss marriage. Previously, when he had brought it up, she had found excuses to avoid the conversation. But this time, she did not know what excuse she could use.

Chris' gaze dimmed slightly. "Lenny, don't you want to come home with me?"

Lena bit her lip, her heart pounding. The more these moments came up, the less she could find the right words to say.

Chris was getting anxious. "Don't you want to marry me?"

Of course, Lena wanted to! She just was unable to say it.

Sometimes, she really disliked her personality—introverted, keeping everything inside, as if she were deliberately resisting communication with the outside world.

Chris took a deep breath and slowly let go of his hand around her waist. He turned away from her. When he turned back, he met her sparkling eyes. In those eyes, he glimpsed a moment of timidity, a side of Lena he had never seen before.

His heart clenched, and he stepped forward to hold her tightly.

"I know what you're worried about," he whispered gently in her ear. "Don't be afraid. I'm here for everything."

Tears welled up in Lena's eyes, and her hands gently stroked his broad back.

Persephone was approaching her first month. The little girl was no longer the wrinkled newborn from before. She had grown a lot, and her features were becoming more defined.

Cordelia and Zephyr praised her every day—even her effort while sucking on a bottle became a point of admiration for the two.

Nicholas stood by the crib, watching with a proud smile exclusive to grandfathers. "Little Sephy takes after me! They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I can see she takes after her grandfather!"

Zephyr rolled his eyes, no longer wanting to argue with him.

The next moment, though, Linda pulled on Nicholas' ears!

"Can't you say something nice? Why does she have to be like you? Our Sephy is a princess. How can it be if she's as rough as you?"
