Chapter 19 A Feast
Before Stella could reject the proposal, Liam dragged her out of the house.
She remained silent on the way, her mind racing to think about what she could afford with her meager salary.
She stole a glance at Liam. He had always lived a secluded and impoverished life, so he probably didn't know about any restaurants in Eldoria, right?
Given his spending habits, he could probably get by with a roadside stall.
Besides, some restaurants offered unlimited servings of staple food, which would definitely be enough for him.
Stella lowered her head and smiled.
Ever since they got married, she had been frugal and even bought cheap ingredients to cook at home. But she had heard from an old servant of the Taylor family that young couples needed to keep their passion and occasionally go out for a romantic meal, which would help their relationship.
So... why not be a little extravagant today and treat him to a meal outside?
However, when Stella raised her head, she realized that she had already walked with Liam to the busiest commercial street and stopped in front of the Luxury Hotel!
"Let's go to this one." His words were casual as if he had just picked an inconspicuous cabbage at the market.
"What did you say?" Stella almost exclaimed.
"I said, let's eat here." Liam squinted his eyes and chuckled. "I think this place is pretty good."
Stella couldn't help but hold her bag tightly and her breath hitched.
This was the most expensive five-star hotel in Eldoria. She had never even bothered to look up at it when passing by.
If they were to eat here, her meager salary probably wouldn't even be enough for a plate of cold dishes!
Liam pulled her inside, and the waitstaff on both sides respectfully bowed to them. The manager came out, wearing a professional smile. "Welcome."
"Liam!" Stella suddenly grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?"
"We..."
They didn't have enough money.
