Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Linda and Lina were momentarily stunned, their attention drawn to the door in unison.

Nicholas stood there, wearing a harmless smile. He had been pacing outside his daughter’s room for a while, even before Linda brought the tray upstairs. He was concerned that his daughter hadn’t eaten and was in a bad mood. The fear of losing the daughter they had worked so hard to find haunted him.

However, he didn’t know how to approach her. He was a father, a man, and there were certain things that girls might not want to discuss with a man.

While he had been hesitating, he saw Linda going upstairs, so he quickly hid to the side. After Linda knocked on the door and entered, he sneaked half of his body out and peeked inside, straining his ears to listen.

But the more he listened, the more something seemed off. Why were these two crying so much?

Anxious, Nicholas knocked on the door and walked over, pretending to be passing by.

“Oh… I was about to go to the study.” He smiled. “I just happened to pass by here and heard you two crying… Hey, Linda, are you bullying my precious daughter?”

Nicholas kept exchanging glances with Linda as he spoke, hoping she would play along. However, his attempt at humor fell flat and only made his wife burst into laughter.

“It’s not funny at all,” Linda said, her lips curling up as she looked at Lina. “Don’t mind your father. He’s naturally lacking in humor. When he was young, he used to cause trouble at Uncle Zephyr and Aunt Cordelia’s cafe, scaring away customers with his grin!”

“Are you remembering it wrong?” Nicholas widened his eyes and retorted, “Zephyr is clearly the one with a poker face!”

“Then what kind of face do you have?” Linda laughed. “A kidney bean face?”

Nicholas admitted defeat, and the three of them burst into laughter.

Lina held onto her father with one hand and her mother with the other, just as she used to hold hands with Jesse and Melissa when she was little. She treasured moments of happiness like this.
