Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

The girl was cute and innocent, her cheeks rosy. Her eyes had a joyful sparkle.

When she entered like an angel, Lena felt like she was looking at her younger self. However, Lena didn't have as

wonderful a childhood as this child. She was never as neat and pretty. As a kid, she was always dirty, wearing

oversized clothes and messy braids. Other children would often bully her, saying nobody wanted her.

Lena often dreamt of having a doll like all the other girls in her youth.

Her heart squeezed, and she turned away, expressionless.

Kasey called out to her, "Hey, you are here too? Skipping lunch to work during the break?"

Before she could respond, Elijah's cold voice cut in. "Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?"

Kasey's expression changed, and she swallowed her words.

But Elijah didn't care and continued to taunt her. "What are you up to today? Bringing my daughter to watch me?

"Kasey, Nala bears my last name. Don't set a bad example for her!"

"You..." Kasey's face flushed and then paled. She clenched her fists tightly.

Lena felt it was inappropriate for her to stay. Just as she was leaving, a small, warm hand gently pulled her.

"Madam!"

Lena was shocked. "You..."

The girl held her hand, looking up at her with an adorable smile.

Lena's heart melted at that smile, like ice cream under the scorching sun.

"Nala!" Kasey quickly intervened. "She's not a 'Madam'. Don't call her that!"

"Mommy, didn't you teach me that we should call pretty ladies 'Madams'?"

Kasey blinked and smiled. "You silly girl! Not 'Madam', I taught you to say 'Miss'!"

"But..." The girl pouted and thought momentarily, then gestured to her own height with one hand. "But I thought a

'Miss' should be just a little taller than me... This beautiful lady is much taller than me with long legs. She's a

Madam!"

Kasey smiled and looked apologetically at Lena. "I'm sorry. She just turned five, and there are things she doesn't

know. She must have learned that at school, I think. So..."

Lena chuckled. "It's okay."

The tiny hand gripped hers tightly, and Lena was surprised to find she didn't want to let go. It was strange. She used

to avoid kids, but at that moment, she enjoyed being with this child. Her tough heart had softened.

"Madam, Madam!" Nala shook her arm, asking her to squat down.

Lena patiently obliged.

"Madam, are my daddy and mommy going to fight?" Nala whispered into her ear. "Can you talk to them? I'm

scared when they fight..."

Nala's sweet voice melted Lena's heart. She patted her head and smiled gently.

"Alright, alright. Stop clinging to her." Kasey signaled Nala with her eyes.

The girl was clever. She took the food container from her mother's hands and placed it on her father's desk.

"Mommy made this just for you, daddy! She said you work hard and need to eat on time so your stomach doesn't

hurt!"

Elijah was stunned before looking at Kasey.

It wasn't the first time she used their child to get close to him. He felt disdain for her manipulation. Still, he

suppressed his temper as he gazed at his daughter's innocent and cute face.

A complex emotion flickered in his eyes, and his cold demeanor softened gradually.

Perhaps no one could resist such an adorable child!

Lena decided it was time to leave. As she turned around, she heard Nala's sweet voice at the door, "Goodbye,

Madam!"

"Nala!" Kasey corrected her. "Call her 'Miss'!"

"She's a Madam!"

"It's okay." Lena smiled. "She can call me whatever she wants."

"Haha, you're quite shameless!" Elijah seized the chance to mock. "Asking my daughter to call you Madam? Who do

you think you are?"

"Elijah!" Kasey glared at him. "Can't you hold your tongue even while eating?"

"Mind your own business."

"You..."

The smile vanished from Lena's face. She didn't want to be around to witness their argument, so she left, shaking

her head helplessly.

She couldn't understand why this couple couldn't behave themselves, especially in front of such a cute daughter.

One made a mistake, and the other pursued an affair, and they argued in front of their child...

Lena pitied Nala for having to grow up so quickly in such an environment. She would have to do many things to

make her parents happy.

'My child will surely have a much happier life,' she thought as she quickly sent chicken soup to Lina.

Toph had been taking care of Renee at the hospital recently. She had overdosed on sleeping pills, and though her

life was no longer in danger, she had been in a coma for a while.

Toph was constantly by her side, looking after her.

After waking up, Renee was weak. He fed her water and food, caring for her with great attention.

The young man, who had been pampered all his life, even washed Renee's towels in the past few days.

The nurse who came to change Renee's IV looked at her with envy. "Your boyfriend is so good to you. He does

everything for you!"

Renee glanced at him and softly held his hand.

"Toph..."

"You don't have to say anything," he said with remorse. "It's my fault that you had to go through this."

"It's not your fault. I was stupid to bring this trouble to you guys."

"Renee..." His eyes welled up again. He held her face, choking up and unable to speak.

"Toph, even if you're mad at me, don't ignore me, okay?" She was weak. "You're all I have now. If you don't want

me, I really don't know how to go on..."

He bit his lip and promised her with utmost sincerity.

She paused before asking, "Toph, you're still going to marry me, right? We're still getting married, right?"

"Of course. Renee, I won't argue with you again. I'll listen to everything you say... Just promise me you'll never do

something like that again!"

She nodded, suppressing a cunning smile.
