Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 999

The fourth floor was Zuko's "observatory deck".

When he was young, he loved stargazing, so his father had built this observatory for him.

A huge globe was in the center of the room, and a Hubble telescope stood by the window. This was Zuko's private sanctuary.

He had sensitive and vulnerable phases during his adolescence too, and when he could not resolve his troubles, he would come to this observatory and entrust his worries to the distant stars.

He once again stood in front of the telescope.

He had heard that wormholes in space were real and could connect two distant points in time and space. In that case, could he travel through a wormhole and go back to the day when Pammy disappeared? He really wanted to see who had taken her away.

...

It was the weekend. It was drizzling in Centrolis, while Jangasas enjoyed clear skies.

Lina stretched lazily, wearing a simple T-shirt and wide-leg pants, as she went downstairs to help Melissa prepare breakfast.

Melissa looked her up and down as if she could not recognize her. "When did you become so nice to help your mom out in the kitchen?"

Lina blushed and smiled playfully as she leaned toward Melissa.

"Go away!" Melissa feigned annoyance but was extremely pleased deep down. "Don't be a bother. I'm frying here, and it's greasy. Just wait outside to eat!"

"Mom, let me help you do it!"

"Missy, there's no need for that!" Melissa smiled.

Melissa had only taught her daughter the most basic cooking skills, just enough to fill her stomach, growing up. For more difficult tasks like frying, she would not let Lina try in case she hurt her hands. It would be more painful than if Melissa herself got injured.

Sometimes, Jesse would advise her to teach their daughter more things, or she would not even know how to cook a decent meal when she got married. What would happen if her in-laws looked down on her?

"By the way, mom, did Zeke not say when he'll be back?"

Melissa focused on frying the crullers and did not respond.

Lina mumbled to herself, "I remember you said he'd be back in two or three days, but it's already the fourth day... Why hasn't he..."

Melissa turned off the heat and said, looking up at her, "Are you worried?"

Lina hesitated, unable to form a complete sentence. Finally, she casually made up an excuse. "I... I'm just worried that dad will be exhausted working alone! If Zeke is there, at least he can lend a hand!"

"Oh, so you're worried your father will get tired?" Melissa smiled. "Don't worry. Your father won't get tired! Zeke rarely goes home, so his parents would want him to stay for a few days! I've already told him about it and told him to spend two weeks at home!"

"What?" Lina couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with surprise. She quickly lowered her head and lightly bit her lip.
