Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1200

Zuko found himself momentarily speechless, so he refilled Jacob's glass of tequila. Offering comfort to others was not his strong suit, and he struggled to understand the feeling of unrequited love. Perhaps because his relationship with Lina had been so smooth, he believed in following Toph's advice to take the initiative and kiss the person he liked.

Having done so himself, with Lina reciprocating, Zuko thought that was how love should be pursued.

Zuko patted Jacob's shoulder with a serious expression. "Why don't you try... kissing her first?"

Jacob had just taken a sip of tequila and choked on it, tears streaming down his face from the sting. He stared at Zuko as if he were looking at a monster. Could this usually composed and reserved heir really say something so offensive?

"Did I say something wrong?" Zuko argued seriously. "If you like her, you have to kiss her! Otherwise, how will she know your feelings?"

Jacob narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me you won Lina over like that?"

Zuko smirked triumphantly, but Jacob couldn't help but grimace.

"It's different for me." He lowered his head. "You and Lina are compatible, and your families are a good match too.

"But... I feel like I'm not good enough for her." Jacob's voice was almost inaudible as he uttered those words.

Zuko was taken aback. He had known Jacob for years, but this was the first time he had seen the confident lawyer lacking self-assurance. The same Jacob who could debate anyone in the courtroom and remain calm and composed in front of clients and opponents now struggled to speak freely due to his unrequited love.

Zuko found it somewhat hard to believe. "Then tell me, what makes you feel unworthy?"

"By the way, I have something important to tell you." Jacob cleared his throat and pulled up some information on his phone. "These are the things I've found out. I'm sending them to you now.

"But I've only investigated part of it." Jacob chuckled. "As expected, Gia is up to something. After Mollie was kicked out of the Thompson Group, Gia quickly got involved with the project manager!"

"What?" Zuko was stunned.

Jacob placed his hand on Zuko's shoulder. "Mr. Hamerton, I gathered evidence secretly, only to end up being betrayed. Can you believe my misfortune?"

Zuko laughed helplessly. This was an unexpected outcome for both of them.
