Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Will Love Disappear?

Stella's face turned pale as she quickly lifted up his t-shirt to check his injuries.

Sure enough, there was a noticeable mark on his lower back.

"It's red!" She rubbed it with distress and then looked at Mia.

"Mia, look! Jericho beat him up like this!"

Jericho never expected that Mia, who was just showing affection towards him a moment ago, suddenly changed and glared at him as if she were a different person.

"That's right. Why did you go so hard on him?"

"Mia." Jericho looked innocent. "You were on my side..."

"On your side for what?" Mia put her arm around Stella's shoulder. "My Stella is upset! Go buy some medicine for Liam!"

Jericho widened his eyes.

Her Stella?

She called him "her Jericho" just now!

Did this mean that her friend was more important than him?

So, would love disappear?

Jericho stood still in a daze. He suddenly lifted his eyes and met Noah's slightly smug expression.

"Well, Mr. Hart, could you do me a favor and buy some medicine for me?"

......

At six o'clock in the morning, Jericho not only bought the medicine but also brought back breakfast for them.

After he diligently set the table, he opened the balcony door and handed the medicine to Noah, gritting his teeth and sneering.

"Why did you have to put an act after I kicked you? Were you messing with me deliberately?"

Noah smiled. "You flatter me. I just wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine."

Jericho rolled his eyes.

Such a small injury didn't need medicine at all. Noah put the ointment aside.

Stella and Mia happily ate their breakfast, while Noah and Jericho leaned against the balcony railing and looked inside, wearing the same smile on their faces.

"Hey, let's talk about something serious." Jericho's expression turned serious.

Noah was taken aback. "What is it?"

"Give me a cigarette first."

Noah glared at him.

Jericho gestured for him to hurry up and take it out.

With a sneer, Noah reluctantly took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes from his pocket - it was one of the few he had left.

He took one out for Jericho, and then the two of them hid in a corner of the balcony, out of sight of Stella and Mia, and quickly lit their cigarettes.

"What's going on?" Noah frowned. "You don't even have money to buy a pack of cigarettes?"

"All my money is with Mia." Jericho replied frankly, "There's no budget for cigarettes in the pocket money she gives me."

"Oh." Noah nodded, his gaze filled with sympathy.

Compared to that, Stella was much kinder to him, never caring about his expenses and even giving him money to buy things.

But when it came to cigarettes, Stella was more strict.

So he was struggling with this half pack...

Jericho wanted another cigarette, but Noah suddenly opened his hand and put the cigarette back in his pocket.

"You better get down to the business!" He whispered, "Otherwise, they'll come looking for us soon!"

Jericho was helpless. He took one last drag and looked at Noah. "Zander contacted me these past few days."

Noah's eyes darkened.
