Married a Secret Billionaire

Someone slowly emerged from the shadows.

Zuko was dumbfounded and stammered after a long time, “Ah… Uncle Nicholas?”

Nicholas had his hands behind his back as he walked up to them, his eyes fixed on Zuko. Lina was still in the position of having her legs wrapped around Zuko’s waist, her arms around his neck, and hanging onto him.

Zuko could clearly sense… a killing intent from his Uncle Nicholas’ gaze! He jolted and quickly put Lina down, flashing a wince at the older man.

“Um… Good evening, Uncle Nicholas. You’re still awake? I’ve brought Lina back… Heh…”

Nicholas looked stern, and his displeased gaze pierced through Zuko like needles.

Although it was known that his daughter and this young man had been promised to each other since childhood—destined to be together sooner or later—and that it was good that they were close to each other, knowing his daughter was in a romantic relationship and actually seeing it with his own eyes were two completely different matters for a father.

Nicholas pursed his lips, usually treating the two Hamerton young men like his own sons, but today, he felt that Zuko was nothing more than a toad trying to snatch his precious little princess!

This brat had the audacity to send her back so late at night and then linger at the doorstep. He even scared Lina like that! He was truly… asking for trouble!

Nicholas cleared his throat a couple of times, and Lina’s face turned slightly red. She hurriedly ran over and stood behind her father.

Zuko smiled politely and started to back up. “Um, Uncle Nicholas, it’s getting late, so I’ll…”

“Well, go home early,” Nicholas said with a serious expression. “And don’t be out so late next time!”

Zuko nodded his head vigorously.

The Thompsons’ gate opened and closed, and the father and daughter soon disappeared into the night’s darkness.
