Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zuko shook his head like a rattle drum and rushed out of the living room in a panic. Melissa wore a cryptic smile

watching his anxious figure.

“Oh, honey!” Jesse rubbed his eyes and came out, startled by Melissa standing at the bedroom door. “Are you

summoning spirits here when you’re not sleeping in the middle of the night?”

“Get lost!” Melissa slapped his head with a palm and rolled her eyes.

Jesse became much more awake. He saw the figure on the porch and looked at his wife’s mysterious smile,

suddenly understanding something.

He pulled her back into the room and lowered his voice. “Say, you wouldn’t really choose him as our daughter’s

husband, would you?”

“Why not?” Melissa raised an eyebrow, looking pleased. “I just asked about his family background! His family

background may not be great, but if we want to find a son-in-law for Lina, he’s quite suitable!”

“What!?”

“Do you want our daughter to marry into another family and leave us in the future?”

Jesse froze, shaking his head vigorously.

Just the thought of one day walking his daughter down the aisle and handing her over to another man made him

extremely worried and reluctant.

“That’s why!” Melissa became more excited. “If we can keep Zeke at home, not only can he be a guardian, but our

daughter’s future will also be secured!”

“But…”

Due to the conflicting emotions as a father, Jesse hoped for someone who would genuinely love and care for Lina,

but he could not stand any man getting close to her at the same time.

“Don’t worry. It won’t happen so quickly!” Melissa held his hand. “I’ll train and transform him! Mold him into the

ideal son-in-law we want! The only trouble now is that he has a criminal record.

“Well, it’s not a big deal as long as it’s not something like fighting. People make mistakes in order to survive, right?”

Melissa became more thrilled as she spoke. “Honey, I think this kid’s not bad in nature. With some transformation

and training for a year or so, it’ll definitely work!”

“Good!” Jesse gnashed his teeth, his heart determined. “I’ll leave it to you as you say! You must transform him well,

understand?”

The middle-aged couple held hands tightly, displaying a resolute unity.

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely transform him into a perfect son-in-law for our daughter!”

“Yeah!”

Zuko had just unfolded the folding bed on the porch when he suddenly felt a chill behind him and sneezed a few

times.

Strange, he had been sleeping fine here a few days ago, so why did he feel cold today? What was even stranger

was that his body felt cold, but his ears were itchy and hot.

Zuko shook his head and did not think too much about it. He wrapped the blanket around himself, tossed, and

turned for a long time before falling asleep.

…

During this period, Lina felt particularly secure.

Whether it was on her way to university or back home, Zuko would follow behind her. On deserted paths, he would

be close to her, but in places where she might run into her classmates, he would keep his distance.

Every time Lina entered the university gate, she instinctively turned around and scanned the area. The first thing

she did after classes every day was to look for that familiar figure.

Gia sometimes complained to her, “Have you become a commuting student recently? I never see you in the dorm!

I’m so bored all by myself!”

“Oh… My parents want me to go home and spend more time with them,” Lina said, her cheeks involuntarily

pinking.

“Is that so?” Gia teased her with a mischievous smile. “Is it to spend more time with them, or is there another

reason that attracts you back home?”

Lina glared at her.

Seeing her reaction, Gia stopped teasing her and ran away with a smile.

As Lina approached the university gate, she looked toward a familiar figure not far away. Zuko was standing under

a big tree, as expected. He smiled and waved, and even Lina herself did not realize that she was running toward

him like a joyful little bunny, hopping and jumping.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Zuko took out his phone and quietly took a photo of the original copy of

the contract left with Lina.

After the incident when Violet came to cause trouble, Lina had shown him the original copy of the contract. Zuko

had noticed that she had placed the contract in the drawer in the living room.

He had been sleeping in the living room for the past few days, so obtaining the contract was easy.

Zuko lay on the folding bed and sent the photo. Soon, his phone vibrated. He momentarily hesitated before walking

quietly into the yard and answered in a low voice, “Hello?”

“Zuko, I received what you sent,” said the party on the other end.

“Good.” Zuko frowned. “Did you really need to call me to inform me about such a small matter?”

A low peal of laughter came from the other end.

Jacob Welsh was a rather extraordinary, rich heir in Jangasas. Despite studying law, he resolutely refused to rely on

his family connections. He was currently working as a mere lawyer’s assistant at Fredric’s law firm and enjoyed his

work.

He liked this job and wanted to become a great lawyer like Fredric, step by step through his own efforts. He had

chosen this law firm because of its reputation in the industry and because he could be closer to Zuko, the senior he

had admired since his university days.

The two of them had established a deep friendship since their university days, and most of the time, Jacob followed

Zuko like a loyal little follower.

“If you have something to say, just say it!” Zuko coughed lightly. “I can’t stay out for too long!”

“No way! You’re already so infatuated with your wife?” Jacob’s voice sounded teasing.

Zuko’s tone turned sharp. “Are you asking for a beating?”

Jacob laughed even more brightly, but he stopped after a while.

“Alright, alright… I won’t joke with you anymore,” Jacob said seriously. “I just wanted to let you know that you must

keep the original copy of this contract safe. I took a look at it just now, and there are indeed some oppressive

clauses that can serve as evidence.”

“I know.”

Jacob paused. “Also, I’ll be on a business trip to Centrolis next week. I’m going to visit your parents and let them

know about your recent situation.”

“Okay.” Zuko hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind. “Forget it. You don’t have to go.”

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid I’ll let something slip?” Jacob chuckled lightly. “Actually, you and Lina aren’t really

married, so it’s fine if they know!”

Zuko fell silent for a moment.

The words “aren’t really married” struck a chord in his heart, and he felt inexplicably restless.

“Hello? Zuko, are you still there?”

Zuko snapped back to reality and talked a bit more before hanging up.

He looked up at the night sky. It was not a clear night tonight, with some clouds obscuring the moon. His heart felt

as tumultuous as the night sky right now.
