Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 None of His Business

Liam guessed a few things and continued calmly, "Go to the room and pull open the cabinet drawer. There's a box inside. Bring it over."

Stella hummed and did as she was told. In the depths of the drawer, a carved wooden box was found. The patterns on it were exquisite, and it emitted a fragrant scent.

Liam took it and opened it. Inside were several pieces of gold jewelry: necklaces, earrings, rings, and a bracelet with a very special style. Inlaid in gold, the jade was smooth and transparent. It was glossy and magnificent.

Stella's eyes widened as she looked at him uncertainly.

"This..."

"I didn't give you any decent betrothal presents," Liam said as he casually took the jewelry. "These are to make up for that. Take a look and see if you need anything else."

Stella's hands clenched and unclenched under the table. She was nervous as she sneaked a glance at Liam's cold face. Somehow, her heart overflowed with sweetness.

Each of these jewels was exquisite and flawless.

But how did he get them?

Liam read her mind and chuckled. "Don't worry. These weren't stolen or robbed. They're legitimate!"

Stella blushed with embarrassment.

How could she have doubted her husband like that?

"Keep them," Liam said, closing the box and pushing it toward her. His deep eyes gazed at her quietly. "This is all I have and all my family can offer. Now that we're married, you should be in charge of the household. I'll leave all the properties in your care."

"Liam, I..."

"One more thing," he interrupted her. "I won't be able to accompany you to your parents' house today. Please extend my apology to them."
