Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Lena giggled.

It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.

Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemblance to someone in the way her eyes looked, like a

familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.

Elijah said in a low voice, "Lena, I've resigned."

Lena nodded. "I just heard in the room. Are you really not planning to continue at the Thompson Group?"

"I have my own things to do."

"Alright." Lena shrugged.

"You seem... not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?"

"Why should I care?" Lena looked at him sideways. "As long as you don't go against Lina, you can be anywhere. But

if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I'll bring you back from the ends of the earth."

Elijah was at a loss for words.

Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family's company and work with him. After all,

he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be better to work with someone he knew

well.

It seemed there was no need to ask now.

Lena would not go.

In her heart, no one was as important as Lina.

Despite that, Elijah was curious. It was previously said that Lena was the illegitimate child of the Thompsons.

According to that logic, her protectiveness of the Thompsons was understandable. Now that it was clarified that

Nicholas had no illegitimate children, why was she still so loyal?

And why did his Chriss family not have someone so loyal?

"Daddy, look!" Just as he was thinking, he heard Nala's sweet voice. "It seems like the little baby woke up!"

Elijah paused.

She did!

Persephone stretched out her little hands and kicked her tiny feet, making cooing sounds.

The nanny and maternity nurse hurriedly checked if she had wet her diaper.

Nala asked curiously while holding Elijah's hand, "Dad, was I like that when I was little?"

Elijah could not answer. He had not been involved in his daughter's growth.

Lena looked at him with disdain, took Nala's hand, and softly replied, "Every baby is like this when they are little.

Look, doesn't the little baby look like a little angel?"

"Yes!" Nala held Elijah with one hand and Lena with the other, flashing them a sweet smile.

Chris happened to see the scene.

He was somewhat dazed, standing at the end of the corridor. Elijah, Lena, and Nala were holding hands —like a

family. What was even stranger was that the expressions on the three of them and even the curves of their smiles

seemed to look alike...

Chris' face fell.

Elijah clearly had a wife! Why was he getting so close to Lena?

He felt uncomfortable like there were knots tied on a string, and jealousy was fermenting in his heart.

He cleared his throat and walked over, deliberately standing next to Lena.

Nala saw his scowl and timidly let go of Lena's hand. Chris was inwardly impressed by Nala's keen eye. He took

Lena's hand and held it tightly, intertwining their fingers.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chriss." He introduced himself politely, "I'm Chris Hamerton. We've probably met before."

Elijah smiled politely. The special forces member from the Hamertons and the only one who dared to change his

name on his own accord... Who would not recognize him?

"Mr. Hamerton, a pleasure to meet you."

"I heard that you've resigned?" Chris smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "In that case,

I'd like to wish you a prosperous and successful future!"

"Thank you."

"But a word of advice." Chris looked at Nala and smirked. "With such a lovely daughter, perhaps you should

prioritize your family! After all, Mrs. Chriss is quite wonderful. You are a perfect match to others!"

"Uh..." Elijah's expression changed slightly. "You do no need to worry about it, Mr. Hamerton."

"Haha, of course, I'm not worried about you!" Chris said as he put his arm around Lena's shoulder.

Lena was momentarily stunned before meeting his indulgent gaze.

"I'm worried about our Lenny!" Chris emphasized the last part. "Our Lenny is so outstanding that I have to be on

guard against those showing interest in her! Haha..."

Lena nudged him with her elbow and glared at him.

Elijah could clearly hear who Chris was talking about. Although he felt differently toward Lena, he would never

pursue someone else while still having a family.

Even if he wanted to pursue Lena, he would have to divorce Kasey first... Previously, women like Jacquelin had been

imposed on him by others.

Elijah smiled helplessly and excused himself, saying he had company matters to hand over before quickly leaving

with Nala.

Lena turned to Chris. "What's the matter with you today?"

"Ah? I..."

"You've never spoken like that before."

Chris scratched his head, not sure how to respond.

He was clearly feeling jealous. He did not like seeing her getting close to Elijah or the way other men looked at her

with glowing eyes...

It was just that saying these things would make him seem too petty, right?

Chris smiled awkwardly. He took her hand and tried to make amends. "Lenny, from now on, I won't..."

Lena pulled her hand away.

At that moment, Chris felt like his heart had fallen to the bottom of a valley.

In the next second, Lena put her hands on his shoulders, tiptoed, and gently kissed his lips.

Chris was stunned and delirious, and his mind went blank.

What was... going on?

She had taken the initiative to kiss him!

His dumbfounded look amused Lena, and she looked away, blushing.

"Lenny, you..."

"Good enough?"

"Huh?" Chris failed to follow. What did that mean?

Did it mean that she knew he was jealous and was physically showing him she would not have a change of mind?

Chris' heart pounded. He chuckled foolishly and suddenly picked Lena up.

"What are you doing?" Lena punched him without heat. "Put me down!"

"No!"

"Chris—"

Before she could finish, he silenced her with a deeper kiss.

That day, Lena learned an important lesson: never surprise a man! Especially someone like Chris, who radiated

happiness and returned a kiss with a hundred times more affection.

Chris said tenderly in her ear, "Lenny, come home with me."

Lena nodded dazedly.

"You didn't understand what I said." He chuckled softly. "I don't mean going back to the apartment."

"What?"

He looked into her eyes seriously. "Lenny, what I mean is, come with me to meet my parents, and then... let's get

married! Okay?"
