Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1506

Lena smiled as she gently stroked Alexander's head. He didn't feel distant from her at all. When he noticed she had more pepperoni slices on her pizza, he playfully snatched them. "Hey, why are you taking my pepperoni?" Lena protested.

"The owner is clearly biased, giving you so much!" Alexander countered.

"No way, you can't just take them!" Lena chuckled. "These are pepperoni with love from the owner!"

"I am growing and need to eat more!" Alexander quipped.

They chatted and finished their pizzas quickly.

Lena considered ordering another one for Alexander when she heard a sweet voice say, "Miss!" just as she was about to get up.

Surprised, she turned to see a cute little girl dashing toward her. "Nala?"

Nala hugged Lena tightly and nuzzled her head against her.

Alexander watched in awe. He had never seen such a pretty little girl with two braids and a puffy princess dress. She resembled the princess they had seen at the amusement park earlier. Could she be a real princess from fairy tales?

The girl grinned at him before asking Lena, "Miss, who is he?"

"He's "

Before Lena could answer, Elijah's voice came from the door. "He's an excellent student in school. He works really hard. Nala, you should study diligently like him when you grow up!"

Lena smiled and looked up. "What brings you here?"

"Why not? Can't I have a meal alone with my daughter?"

"No." Lena shook her head. "I just didn't expect to see you eating at a small place like this."

"This place is famous, okay?" Elijah sat down and ordered pizzas from Julius. "It's the weekend, and I'm out with Nala. She got hungry, and I found good reviews for this place, so we came! I didn't expect to run into you here."

Elijah smiled. "Are you personally treating the star student, Ms. Harding?"

Lena was about to explain that Alexander was not an ordinary student but her younger brother when he signaled her to stop. He shook his head at her, his calm gaze hinting at warmth.

He didn't want others to know about their relationship, though he wasn't sure why. His instinct told him that the fewer people who knew, the better.

Alexander chuckled. "Ms. Lena, I'm not full yet. Can I have another pizza?"

They all enjoyed their meal and conversation, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, much like the autumn sun outside.

Drake had been trying for several days but couldn't find an opportunity to get close to Persephone.

She was the most beloved princess of the Hamertons and always had bodyguards with her. Even the car was bulletproof, and a dozen bodyguards formed a secure circle around her.

The two bodyguards Bianca had recruited were at the outermost edge, and they couldn't even approach Persephone, let alone collaborate with Drake.

Drake was growing frustrated, wondering if Bianca was fooling him.

Today, he once again staked out the early education center. From morning until afternoon, he finally spotted the Hamertons' convoy approaching.

As usual, Lina carried Persephone out of the car.

In addition to the Hamertons' bodyguards, there were some from the Thompsons as well. Nicholas had a criminal background, so these guards appeared more street-smart and rugged compared to the Hamertons' personnel.
