Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Rowan found it strange. He had asked several questions on the phone, and his wife punched him in the end.

“You’re such a fool!” Xyla was furious. “Zuko must have his reasons for requesting that! Just do as he says. Why do

you have so many questions?”

“But… It’s highly unusual for him!”

“What’s so unusual about it? He wouldn’t harm you!” Xyla rolled her eyes and took the phone from him. “Zuko!

Hehe, don’t worry. I’ll do it. I’ll turn it off for you right now!”

“Okay, thanks, grandma!”

“So… there won’t be any bodyguards around either?” Xyla inquired.

“You’re psychic, grandma!” Zuko replied.

Xyla smiled and turned to instruct the butler. “Send this message. Nobody is allowed in the backyard tonight.

Nobody disturbs Zuko!”

Zuko happily ended the call. Just as he was about to change, Toph called.

“Bro!”

Zuko paused, his brow furrowing. “Where are you? Why is it so noisy over there?”

“I’m in Jangasas,” Toph replied.

“What?” Zuko was shocked. “You’re here too? What about our parents? Why did you come?”

Usually, it was Toph who had many questions, but now Zuko was the one questioning him.

Toph, on the other end of the line, seemed uneasy. He didn’t tease him and coughed twice before speaking in a

lowered voice. “Bro, there’s something… I must tell you. I came with Pammy.”

Zuko widened his eyes but said nothing.

“But she’s been acting strange,” Toph said. “She seems moody. Every time she looks at me, it’s like she wants to

say something but can’t. I can’t figure out what she’s thinking at all!”

“Perhaps she doesn’t have enough confidence to tell you things, or maybe she has her reasons and isn’t ready yet,”

Zuko said softly. “Observe her closely and call me if anything happens.”

“What about you? When are you coming home?” Toph asked.

“I’ll come home once I finish with my matters in Southeast Aciatic,” Zuko replied.

Toph chuckled. “She’s there to study, but what about you?”

“I-I’m here to visit our grandparents and uncle,” Zuko claimed.

“So, did you see them already?” Toph asked.

“Toph!” Zuko gritted his teeth. “If you keep this up, I’ll teach you a lesson when I return to Jangasas!”

Toph giggled before they hung up.

Soon, Lina emerged after changing her clothes and happily took his hand. They set off and made their way to the

back of Irwin Manor, shrouded in darkness.

“There really is a path here, Zeke… but it’s so dark!

“What they say on the Internet is true, Zeke. Nobody is watching!”

Suddenly, Lina screamed, “Ah, Zeke!”

Zuko, who was following behind her, was startled. Worried for her safety, he rushed to hold her.

Meanwhile, Lina was captivated by what she saw.

Lina covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with amazement. Countless fireflies danced in the forest,

illuminating the entire rainforest. The croaking of frogs and the chirping of birds filled the air with crisp sounds.

Each firefly resembled a fallen star in the dark blue night sky, complementing the beauty of the rainforest. It felt

surreal and breathtaking.

Zuko smiled, leaning in slightly. In this magical moment, he gently kissed her lips.

Lina felt her head spinning, unable to resist grabbing his neck with her hands. She was breathing lightly.

Zuko chuckled softly. “Lina, there are so many fireflies watching us.”

Lina pursed her lips and quickly removed her hands. But he held her waist tighter, pulling her closer to him.

Zuko had never imagined he would be sneaking into the path behind his own courtyard to watch fireflies one day.

Witnessing her surprise and joy, Zuko felt a profound sense of contentment that the world couldn’t match.

“It’s so beautiful here!” Lina exclaimed emotionally. “I would be willing to stay here for a day!”

“What if you could stay here… forever?” Zuko gazed into her eyes.

Lina felt a squeeze in her heart.

Something felt off at that moment, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

Zuko watched her silently. His deep eyes were unfathomable, making it impossible for her to read his thoughts.

“It’s late,” Lina whispered. “Let’s go back now. Rich people have guards. We’ll be in trouble if they find us here!”

Zuko nodded, agreeing with her.

At that moment, he almost slipped and revealed that he was Zuko, not Zeke.

But Zuko swallowed his words.

He had assumed a fake identity to come to Jangasas for the investigation. He never expected to fall in love with

someone there.

Zuko’s mind was in turmoil as they walked hand in hand back to the hotel.

One recurring thought was whether, if Lina found out his true identity, they could continue holding hands and

walking together in the moonlight.

Zuko knew that Lina wasn’t a materialistic person. But it also meant that she despised being lied to the more she

cared.

Chaos consumed Zuko’s mind as they reached the hotel without realizing it.

Just as Lina reminded him that they should part ways, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up. “Hey, isn’t that Mr.

Hamerton?”

Lina’s heart skipped a beat as she looked toward the source of the voice. She saw Gia standing on the stone steps

in front of the hotel, arms crossed.

Gia wore a cryptic smile as she looked at them. “Lina, so your husband came to visit? Where is he staying? Don’t

tell me he’s staying in the same room as you?

“Hah, Lina, don’t blame me for not reminding you that it’s illegal in Southeast Aciatic for two people to stay in the

same room if only one person is registered!”

Lina bit her lip and stared at her, forcing a smile after taking a deep breath. “Gia, I think you have more experience

with illegal activities.

“Have you just been bailed out of the police station? I suggest you find a solution through the person who bailed

you. You might have escaped in Southeast Aciatic, but I doubt the Grists will forgive you once you return to

Jangasas!”
