Chapter 1398


    Zuko hid his face but couldn’t resist Chris’spetitive spirit. He reluctantly lowered his hand for a few


    selfies. After snapping the pictures, neither of them wanted to view them.


    As they yfully bantered, Lena swung the door open and inquired, “Who’s there?”

    Zuko and Chris fell silent instantly.


    Lena smiled and weed them inside. Zuko’s meal ended up being shared by all. Lina, who usually


    didn’t eat much, chatted andughed heartily. Her morning sickness appeared to have vanished.


    Chris leaned in close to Lena. “Lenny, it’s lunch break now. Are you nning to stay here the whole


    time?”


    He looked at her meaningfully as he spoke.


    Understanding his intention, Lena was about to get up to leave, but Lina grabbed her arm.


    “Hold on!” Lina looked at her like a little hungry kitten and smiled shyly. “Lenny… will youe again


    tomorrow?”


    Lena’s heart melted instantly. Her smile brightened, and she nodded hard. “Yes, yes, I’lle


    tomorrow. I’ll bring you chicken soup again!”


    Chris looked at Zuko in frustration. Zuko could only helplessly look in return.


    Just then, there were noises at the door, followed by the hesitant voice of Lina’s secretary, “Ms. Renee,


    Ms. Lina is resting. Should I—”


    “I’m here to see my cousin. Why are you stopping me?”


    “Ms. Renee…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    The secretary failed to stop her, but Renee opened the door and entered the room. Her expression


    immediately turned sour upon seeing them gathered there.


    She forced a smile that looked somewhat natural. “Lina, aren’t you supposed to be resting?”


    Lina froze.


    Maybe due to guilt toward Renee or because she tended to be overly amodating to her younger


    cousin, Lina’s emotions were a bitplicated. It was like the sensation of being caught cheating by a


    teacher during her school days.


    Renee’s gaze made her uneasy, but she managed a smile and met her eyes.


    “Renee, how did you find time to visit today?”


    “I heard you were not eating much because of your pregnancy, so I brought some sour plums.” Renee


    set the small box on the table. “These can boost your appetite and saliva production. They might help


    you out.”


    “Thank you…”


    Renee’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Lena. “Lina, I see someone’s been sending you chicken


    soup daily, huh?”


    Chris scowled and was about to say something when he saw Zuko stopping him with his eyes.


    Lena remained expressionless. She was about to leave, only to hear Renee’s biting words from behind


    her.


    “Lina, you must be careful with what you consume. If it’s not from close family members, you mustn’t


    eat it recklessly especially now that you’re pregnant. It’s so easy for someone to harm you if they want


    to!”


    “Renee!” Chris could not stand it anymore. “What’s gotten into you? Lenny was just trying to be kind!”


    “My mom once said that barking dogs never bite!” Renee emphasized each word, looking at Lena and


    Chris.


    Chris stepped forward, but Lena pulled him back, cing herself between him and Renee.


    The iciness in Lena’s originally aloof eyes intensified.
