Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 978

Zuko was momentarily distracted and accidentally choked on the drink.

After closing the supermarket for the night, Lina locked the door and headed home with Zuko. Everyone in the family had already gone to sleep.

Zuko was about to move the folding bed to the porch when Lina softly stopped him. "Um..."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Well, are you hungry?" Lina lowered her head. "Let me prepare something for you to eat before you sleep."

Upon saying that, she turned and entered the kitchen.

Zuko stood alone on the porch, feeling a gentle breeze blowing. There seemed to be a sweet tinge in the air.

After a while, Lina came out of the kitchen with a late-night snack. When Zuko caught a whiff of the aroma, his stomach could not help but growl.

"Come and eat!" Lina smiled and handed him a spoon.

The late-night snack was lobster risotto. Zuko paused for a moment, and Lina explained, "The lobster you bought that day, my dad didn't eat it, and it's been in the fridge."

He nodded and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. The first bite left him a bit stunned. He had never known that risotto could be so delicious, especially with the addition of lobster meat and garlic flavor. It was incredibly flavorful.

"How is it?" Lina asked, smiling.

Zuko replied with a muffled "Mm."

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Lina's eyes. "What do you mean? Is it not good?"

Zuko did not answer but showed through his action of devouring the rice that it was incredibly delicious.

Lina pouted and was about to say something when the door to the master bedroom downstairs opened, and Melissa walked out, yawning.

"Lina... what are you doing?" Melissa glanced into the kitchen.

Her parents loved her in every possible way, but now she was making late-night snacks for someone else. No wonder Melissa was anxious and upset.

Zuko was tall, handsome, and exuded a strong masculinity. He had helped their family several times. Girls often had a hero complex, especially Lina at the age of blossoming love, who had never been in a relationship before. Suddenly encountering someone like him, it was hard for her not to lose herself...

Melissa was worried that her daughter would be deceived and not find happiness.

She held her daughter's hand and earnestly advised her, "Lina, we haven't figured out this person's background yet. You must keep some boundaries with him and take care of yourself, understand?"

Lina felt a bit embarrassed. "Mom, what are you saying?"

"What I mean is, girls should protect themselves!"

"Alright, alright, I understand!" Whenever this matter came up, Lina could not help but recall that night, feeling uncomfortable, as if worms were gnawing at her.

"Oh, I think he finished eating." Melissa peeked outside and made a clicking sound. "Oh my... such a large plate and it's already finished in no time! Not only does he eat fast, but he also eats so much! Should we ask him for money for future living expenses?"
