Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Time to Visit Your Parents

Liam pinched his eyebrows, his expression becoming more serious. He took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

He was going to make a trip back to Emberfall, but not now.

Returning now would only serve to alert his enemies, and those who thought his plane had crashed and he was dead would stir up trouble again. They would come up with even more vicious ways to harm him.

"Which do you like, sago or herbal?" Stella asked.

Startled by her voice, Liam turned around to meet her glittering eyes. The smile on her face was as sweet as the bubble tea in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Stella asked, looking at him. "You didn't look quite..."

"I'm fine," Liam said, feeling uncomfortable at being seen through.

His voice was cold and hard as he turned his back on her. "Drink it yourself. I don't like sweet stuff."

Stella stood frozen in place for a long time, holding two cups of bubble tea. She bit her lip before trotting after him.

She followed behind him but didn't dare get too close. His broad back was like a cold wall, and on the other side of that wall was only his world. She was close at hand but couldn't walk past it.

...

On the second day after the wedding, everything went as usual.

Liam gave the bedroom to Stella to sleep in while he slept on the sofa outside. There was only one quilt, so he gave it to her to use and wrapped himself in a worn-out sheet. Feeling upset, Stella stood in the doorway for a long time, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him to come back and sleep in his room.

It seemed that Liam was right. She indeed needed time to get used to having a husband.

She bowed her head slightly and chuckled.

Rumor had it that Liam was a cold person who wasn't good at communicating with people but was good at fighting and brawling. But she didn't think he was so bad. At least toward her, he showed enough respect and tolerance.
