Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1130

Toph paused briefly but then smiled and said, "I'll listen to you!"

Not only did he let her choose the breakfast location, but also what to eat.

Renee ordered croissants and coffee, specifically requesting smoked salmon. She remembered the time when Toph had five portions of smoked salmon for breakfast at the Thompsons, and she had secretly kept that in mind.

Toph was somewhat surprised but smiled happily. When the smoked salmon was served, he enjoyed it greatly.

"This... definitely doesn't taste as good as the one at home," Renee said softly.

With his mouth full, Toph mumbled, "Mm, it's delicious!"

Renee looked at him, unsure where to place her hands. Despite knowing each other for a long time and gradually clarifying their relationship, a girl would always feel uneasy and afraid of embarrassing herself in front of someone she liked.

Toph also placed some salmon on her plate and split the croissant. "Don't just look at me. You should eat too!"

Renee pursed her lips and smiled softly. After a while, she spoke in a gentle voice. "Toph, have you... never doubted me?"

"Doubted you?" Her question took aback Toph.

"Yes." Renee's expression became serious. "Because I... I'm Melvin's daughter, after all.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton are so smart. Wouldn't they think that I'm acting in front of them and secretly colluding with Melvin?"

Toph set down his cutlery and looked at her silently. The girl's melancholy and sensitivity tugged at his heartstrings like an invisible hand.

"Renee, why do you think that?" he asked softly. "Is it just because you and Melvin are father and daughter?"

Renee nodded vigorously.

Renee went from tears to laughter and took a sip of coffee.

Toph received a message from his father, which simply said: [Analyze the data.]

A long list of charts followed it.

Toph almost spat out the croissant he had just bitten into and slumped onto the table, lamenting, "Dad, am I still your biological son? Zuko's been in a bad mood these past few days because of Pammy, and you can't bear to order him around, so you're tormenting me!?

"Oh God..."

This series of actions stunned Renee. Although Toph was usually silly, he was at least somewhat normal, but today...

"Toph, what's wrong? Is it something serious?"
