Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1480

Bianca suffered during the few days in the mountainous area.

She had followed Chris and Lena all the way, but when they got off the train, it seemed like Chris had completely forgotten her existence.

When they boarded a bus to head into the mountains, she didn't have any change, so Chris kindly helped her buy a ticket. But his demeanor toward her was like she was a complete stranger, merely assisting out of goodwill.

Bianca tried to strike up conversations with him, but he brushed her aside, showering all his attention on Lena. Throughout the journey, Bianca gained nothing more than witnessing their affectionate interactions.

In the mountainous region, she made it her mission to show up wherever they went, even visiting the local school and volunteering to take photos of the children with her camera. But Chris' attitude toward her remained lukewarm. His gaze was solely on Lena.

Moreover, the signal was terrible in the mountains, making it difficult for Bianca to find someone to vent her frustrations. Meanwhile, the harsh living conditions made her extremely uncomfortable.

Chris and Lena stayed at the only local guesthouse in the area. The owner, Edward Delaney, was a kind-hearted middle-aged man who wasn't a local but was drawn to the place's natural beauty. Running the guesthouse was his way of expressing his love for it.

This guesthouse rarely received visitors throughout the year, but Edward diligently kept it clean daily. Now that three living souls had suddenly arrived, he was overjoyed.

He would occasionally brew a pot of tea and bring it out to the courtyard to chat with Chris and Lena. After getting to know them a bit, he smiled and asked, "I can tell you two are a couple, but what about that young lady?"

Chris evaded the question. "Oh, she's our neighbor's daughter."

"But it seems like she's here for you!"

Chris widened his eyes, exchanged a secretive glance with Edward, and then sneakily glanced at Lena.

Lena sipped her tea and smiled without uttering a word.
