Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1121

"We stole her home back then! In fact, we should've reported it to the police to help find Lina's family after the shipwreck..." Jesse patted her shoulder and sighed.

"Recently, I've been having nightmares." Melissa choked, her voice trembling. "I dream that Lina hates me, saying that I separated her from her parents..."

"Don't be foolish!" Jesse hastily said. "Dreams are the opposite of reality!"

"But this dream reminds me... Have I been too selfish for the past 20 years? Is this illness retribution?"

"You..."

Jesse had never been good at comforting others, and he was afraid that anything he said would be wrong at this critical moment.

In fact, there was no one more tormented than him currently.

His lifelong companion was terminally ill, and their children were unaware. Every day, he had to put on a brave smile.

If they really found Lina's family, he would have to endure the pain of losing his daughter too.

Jesse fell silent, tears welling up in his eyes.

After a long while, he regained his composure and gently embraced Melissa. With a sniffle, he said softly, "Okay... as long as you're happy, as long as you feel relieved, I'll agree to whatever you say!"

Melissa nodded, gripping his hand tightly.

"Then let's go back to the room now and take out Lina's old photos to show our future in-laws."

"Yeah, okay."

"Hey, Jesse? Which way did we come from just now?"

Jesse was stunned as he looked around... Oh no! The manor was too big, and as they had been talking, they had unknowingly lost their way.

"You stubborn old man! The butler said to follow him just now, but you insisted otherwise!"

"You old woman... You were the one who said you wanted to walk alone!"

"Huh?" Zuko was taken aback, turning to look at his father.

Zephyr also smiled at him and patted his shoulder.

"Your mother and I really like Lina, and we can see that her whole family is honest and down-to-earth. We're assured of being in-laws with such a family."

"Well, dad, mom, actually, Lina—"

"She wouldn't not want to marry you, would she?"

Zuko chuckled. How was that possible?

Seeing his hesitant expression, Cordelia thought he was worried about something and spoke directly. "Son, don't worry about it. Your father and I don't have any snobbish views. You don't need to find someone from a high-society background. We just hope you find someone you genuinely like."

Zuko looked at them. "Actually, Lina's not only someone I genuinely like, but she's also from a matching background!"

Zephyr and Cordelia both froze. "What do you mean?"
