Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chatper 1398

Zuko hid his face but couldn't resist Chris's competitive spirit. He reluctantly lowered his hand for a few selfies. After

snapping the pictures, neither of them wanted to view them.

As they playfully bantered, Lena swung the door open and inquired, "Who's there?"

Zuko and Chris fell silent instantly.

Lena smiled and welcomed them inside. Zuko's meal ended up being shared by all. Lina, who usually didn't eat

much, chatted and laughed heartily. Her morning sickness appeared to have vanished.

Chris leaned in close to Lena. "Lenny, it's lunch break now. Are you planning to stay here the whole time?"

He looked at her meaningfully as he spoke.

Understanding his intention, Lena was about to get up to leave, but Lina grabbed her arm.

"Hold on!" Lina looked at her like a little hungry kitten and smiled shyly. "Lenny... will you come again tomorrow?"

Lena's heart melted instantly. Her smile brightened, and she nodded hard. "Yes, yes, I'll come tomorrow. I'll bring

you chicken soup again!"

Chris looked at Zuko in frustration. Zuko could only helplessly look in return.

Just then, there were noises at the door, followed by the hesitant voice of Lina's secretary, "Ms. Renee, Ms. Lina is

resting. Should I—"

"I'm here to see my cousin. Why are you stopping me?"

"Ms. Renee..."

The secretary failed to stop her, but Renee opened the door and entered the room. Her expression immediately

turned sour upon seeing them gathered there.

She forced a smile that looked somewhat natural. "Lina, aren't you supposed to be resting?"

Lina froze.

Maybe due to guilt toward Renee or because she tended to be overly accommodating to her younger cousin, Lina's

emotions were a bit complicated. It was like the sensation of being caught cheating by a teacher during her school

days.

Renee's gaze made her uneasy, but she managed a smile and met her eyes.

"Renee, how did you find time to visit today?"

"I heard you were not eating much because of your pregnancy, so I brought some sour plums." Renee set the small

box on the table. "These can boost your appetite and saliva production. They might help you out."

"Thank you..."

Renee's gaze turned cold as she looked at Lena. "Lina, I see someone's been sending you chicken soup daily, huh?"

Chris scowled and was about to say something when he saw Zuko stopping him with his eyes.

Lena remained expressionless. She was about to leave, only to hear Renee's biting words from behind her.

"Lina, you must be careful with what you consume. If it's not from close family members, you mustn't eat it

recklessly especially now that you're pregnant. It's so easy for someone to harm you if they want to!"

"Renee!" Chris could not stand it anymore. "What's gotten into you? Lenny was just trying to be kind!"

"My mom once said that barking dogs never bite!" Renee emphasized each word, looking at Lena and Chris.

Chris stepped forward, but Lena pulled him back, placing herself between him and Renee.

The iciness in Lena's originally aloof eyes intensified.
