Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“Not yet!” Zuko immediately rejected the idea.

He hadn’t revealed his true identity to Lina yet. What would she think if he brought her home like that?

However, Zuko felt relieved upon hearing his mother’s response. It seemed his parents were not insistent on him

marrying Pamela.

Zuko stammered as he explained, “Um, mom, I’ll bring her home when the time is right… She’s a good girl. I

guarantee you’ll like her when you meet her!”

“Really?” Zephyr chimed in, joining the conversation. He glanced at Zuko and chuckled. “My son is finally all grown

up!”

Zuko was left speechless. “Dad…”

Zephyr placed his hand on Zuko’s shoulder. “Son, we have a marriage agreement with the Thompsons. Although

we’re not sure if this Pammy is the real one, Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda want the two of you to be together.

“But your mom and I will find an opportunity to talk about it with them. Even if we want the marriage to happen, we

must ensure that the girl is their Pammy!”

“Mm-hmm.” Zuko looked at his parents gratefully.

Although what he was about to say sounded cheesy, he hugged them and smiled. “I’m so lucky to be your son.”

“Alright!” Cordelia patted his back. She checked the time and realized it was time to bake.

She quickly put down her book and headed to the desert glasshouse on the top-floor platform.

As Zuko was leaving, he felt his father poking him after watching his mother walk away.

“Hmm?” He was taken aback and saw the agarwood box in his father’s hand. “Dad, what…”

“Besides the emerald ring, take everything in there!” Zephyr said with a smile. “The ring is your mom’s favorite, so

I can’t let you take it. You can take the rest to please the girl you like.”

“But what will happen if she finds out?” asked Zuko.

“What else? She’ll just deduct my allowance at most!” replied Zephyr.

Zuko stared at his father in disbelief, his amusement evident in a chuckle that escaped his lips. How could his

father, who owned the entire Hamertons, be lacking in money? It was perplexing to him.

Yet, Zephyr had been requesting an allowance from Cordelia all his life. One was willing to endure torture, while the

other was willing to suffer. Perhaps it was another form of true love.

“Forget it!” Zuko declared, reaching into the box and selecting a bangle, the renowned Le Esse. “Dad, I’ll just take

this. You can put the box back now.”

“That’s all?” Zephyr was taken aback. “Would the girl be satisfied?”

“Lina isn’t materialistic,” Zuko assured him.

“Ah, I see.” Zephyr playfully teased his son. “I’m sure you haven’t revealed your true identity to her, have you? Ha,

don’t you know I used to pull off this trick too?”

Putting the box away, Zephyr bounded upstairs like an excited child, ready to bake with his wife.

Zuko pouted but realized there was no use arguing. He could only make a silly face at his father’s retreating figure.

The following day, Zephyr and Cordelia took their two sons to visit Pamela at the Thompsons’. Melvin was already

there, and they greeted each other with courtesy.

“It’s my fault, cousin!” Melvin expressed guilt. “Why did I take Pammy on the cable car ride that day!? She’s timid,

and the height must have frightened her, causing her to develop a fever!”

“Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault,” Nicholas reassured him with a smile, inviting him to have some tea.

“Pammy has spent years away from home, and she wasn’t properly cared for. She’s weak. Ultimately, it’s my

failure as a father to take care of my daughter.”

“Don’t say that, Uncle Nicholas,” Toph interjected, pausing his game console and sitting up attentively. He glanced

at Nicholas and then at Melvin, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. “Uncle Melvin, do you think Pammy was scared of

the cable car or perhaps… the hospital?”

Melvin’s expression changed drastically as he glared fiercely at Toph.

“What?” Nicholas was taken aback. “Pammy went to the hospital?”

“Oh, so she wants to go to medical school?” Melvin explained with a smile. “I thought I could go to the hospital and

find some people I know to help her with her studies!”

Toph responded sarcastically. “Oh, definitely for studying! But Uncle Melvin, if Pammy really wants to go to medical

school, we have plenty of doctors at our hospital. Maybe she should stay with us!”

Melvin smiled, but his words were strained as he clenched his teeth. “No need for the trouble, Toph.”

Toph returned the smile, noticing the panic in Melvin’s expression.

At that moment, Linda’s voice called out, “Come here, Pammy. Your friends are here to see you!”

Zuko and Toph turned their heads simultaneously.

They saw Linda holding Pammy’s hand as they entered the living room. It was evident that Pammy had recently

recovered from an illness, as she didn’t look well. She appeared shy when she glanced at them.

Her eyes widened, especially when she saw Melvin, and she immediately looked down as if she had done something

wrong.

“Don’t be afraid, Pammy,” Linda reassured, gripping her daughter’s hand tightly. “Look, Zuko and Toph are here.

They’ll accompany you outside, okay?”

Zuko and Toph stood up simultaneously.

Linda still held hope for the marriage agreement, so she nudged her daughter toward Zuko.

To everyone’s surprise, Pammy looked at Toph and slowly walked toward him. She reached out her tiny hand to hold

onto his arm…

Everyone was taken aback, saying, “Huh? What’s going on?”

“Eh? Come again!?” exclaimed Toph.
