Married a Secret Billionaire

The phone rang for a while without anyone answering, making Zuko even more anxious. His face turned pale, and tiny beads of sweat formed on his nose.

By then, the car had already entered Hamerton Manor.

As expected, Cordelia had fallen asleep in the car. Zephyr made a gesture for everyone to stay quiet and carefully carried her out of the car.

Toph, wearing headphones and whistling, watched his father’s back and almost had “envious” written on his forehead.

“Ah, I wonder when I’ll meet someone I like. Just like dad doting on mom, I want to dote on her forever! Right, bro?”

Zuko did not react.

Toph then noticed that his brother’s face had turned pale with a look of tension.

“What’s wrong?” asked Toph.

Zuko glanced at him indifferently, telling him to go back and rest, then he walked briskly to a secluded corner of the courtyard. He dialed the number repeatedly, but no one answered. With each passing minute, his heart grew more troubled.

Countless possibilities filled his mind.

Perhaps she encountered danger while walking that small path.

Perhaps Violet had plotted something against her.

Perhaps she was already…

Zuko’s heart pounded, and it felt like his blood surged through his body in reverse. He was about to ask the butler to arrange a private plane to rush back to Jangasas when his phone suddenly vibrated in his hand.

“Hello!?”

“What’s gotten into you?” The voice on the other end was soft and carried a hint of laughter. “Why does your voice sound like that? It’s scary!”

Zuko was stunned for a few seconds and gradually calmed down. Not only did Lina find it scary, but he also found it scary.
