Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1476

Toph dashed out but halted abruptly, his usual carefree grin replaced by a somewhat serious look.

Lina was puzzled. "What's the matter?"

Toph forced a smile and replied, "I... I don't think I'm going after all."

Lina asked, "Why?"

"Well, Arya knows how to get back, and we're not in the middle of nowhere. She can always call a taxi, and the Bayers won't let her travel alone. Even if she doesn't call a cab, there will be bodyguards to pick her up... I-I don't need to worry about her!"

Zuko caught the hint. He understood that Toph's past relationship with Renee had left him emotionally scarred, nearly preventing him from loving again.

However, life had to move forward. Toph couldn't spend his whole life dwelling in that shadow.

Toph avoided their gazes, saying, "Come on, give me the little princess. You two can go on your date or do whatever you want. Leave the baby to me. You can rest easy! Haha!"

He took Persephone from Lina's hands. The little one cooperated exceptionally well, not crying or fussing. She just looked at her uncle with big, cute eyes and her fingers in her mouth.

Zuko softly sighed and shook his head.

Lina quietly asked him, "Do you think... he and Arya have a chance?"

"Let things unfold." Zuko smiled faintly. "Toph is currently focused on his career, and that's a good thing. He needs to learn to grow up."

In the evening, Lina received a message from Lena, letting her know she was safe. Lina couldn't help but smile.

"From the timestamp, it seems like she sent this yesterday," she said, looking at Zuko. "But I only received it today. It shows that the signal over there isn't very good."
