Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1559

Zachary stared at Sasha with disappointment.

After a brief silence, he angrily exclaimed, "I've helped you with Chris, and I even went to the trouble of capturing Lena for you. I feel sorry for your mom! Do you want me to teach you how to flirt, too?!"

With those words, he stormed off, leaving a bewildered Sasha behind.

Sasha seethed with anger. She contemplated throwing her dress on the floor but halted midway through raising her arms, choosing instead to toss it onto the couch in frustration.

Rather than dwelling on Zachary's words, Sasha decided to take matters into her own hands. She called Chris, using the excuse of wanting to spend more time with Nala, and informed him that she wouldn't be returning to their apartment that night.

After a brief pause, Chris replied, "Hmm, tell Nala I said hi. Make sure to get some rest, too."

"I will," Sasha said.

Before ending the call, Chris added, "Oh, Lena, join us for dinner at my family's house tomorrow. It's been a while since my mom saw you, and she keeps saying she misses you."

Sasha's heart constricted, but she agreed nonetheless.

The following evening, she accompanied Chris to his family's dinner.

Fleur greeted her warmly, immediately taking her hand and linking their arms. It was an unfamiliar gesture for Sasha, and her initial instinct was to pull away.

However, considering that Lena might be accustomed to such gestures, she forced a smile and held onto Fleur's hand tightly.

During their pre-dinner chat, Fleur remarked, "You seem to have lost weight since we last saw you, Lena. Is that rascal Chris mistreating you?"
