Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 991

Lina knew she had misspoken and blinked, looking at her mother silently.

"Silly girl!" Melissa was exasperated, pulled her to the living room, and spoke in a low voice. "Do you have feelings for him?"

"I do... so what?" Lina lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, but her expression was one of stubbornness. "W-We have a marriage certificate..."

"Have you lost your mind!?" Melissa poked her with a finger. "That marriage certificate is fake!"

"Mom, lower your voice!" said Lina.

"Lina!" Melissa sounded almost mournful.

It felt like the beautiful flower she had planted was snatched together with its pot. The daughter she had painstakingly brought up was going to be stolen!

"I know what's in your mind. That's why I'm training him!" Melissa lowered her voice and patiently explained to her, "If we train him well now, he'll listen to you in the future, and you two will be happy!"

"Huh?" Lina was taken aback.

Melissa chuckled, adoring and helpless against her daughter. "How could I do anything to harm you? I just want a good man who treats you well and can spoil you forever, like how your dad and I would. If it's hard to find such a man, then I'll transform one for you! Look, Zeke is a great candidate for the transformation!"

"Mom..." Lina's emotions were complicated as she glanced quietly at the kitchen.

Zuko was exerting all his strength to clean the fish, splashing water everywhere. It was a fierce battlefield!

Melissa exclaimed, "Oh no!"

She then hurriedly ran over. Before long, her scolding could be heard coming from the kitchen like a barrage.

"Just because I didn't keep my eye on you for a moment, you start causing trouble!

"Zeke, how much water did you waste? Double the amount in the living expenses you pay me this month!

"You won't have dinner tonight!"

Lina knew her mother's temper well when it flared up. All she could do was watch from afar and silently pray in her heart.

"Zeke, why are you daydreaming?" Melissa called out to him.

Zuko snapped back to reality. Just as he was about to pick up his cutlery, Melissa scooped a large piece of fish for him. "Have more, have more!"

"Uh..."

Melissa's grin was wide as she showered praises. "Let me tell you all, Zeke cut the onions and prepared the fish! He has half of the credit for tonight's meal!"

"Ah, really? Then I'll eat more!" Dave immediately started to dig in, only for Melissa to slap his hand.

"You! All you know is to eat! Your brother-in-law hasn't even started yet!"

Dave stared at his mother in disbelief. "Mom?"

"Oh, no, no!" Melissa quickly corrected herself. "It's Zeke... Zeke hasn't eaten! Zeke, hurry up and start!"

Lina's face had long turned red—even the tips of her ears were red.
