Chapter 72 We Can Do Anything Tonight
Stella took out her mobile phone and showed Liam all the messages that Eric had sent her recently.
"He was greeting me on the surface, but in fact he intended to ask about you in every sentence." Stella was very smart, "Also, during the period of time when I was promoted to supervisor, he made five orders in a row, which really drew a lot of attention in the company! And he had only one goal in helping me with my performance at work, which was to get information about you."
Liam squinted his eyes. He already knew what was going on.
He was already suspicious when he saw Eric at the banquet that day, and Eric's interest in Stella's ring made him even more vigilant.
Thinking about it now, Eric was probably working for Christopher.
Liam snorted softly. Uncle Christopher was too impatient. Even if he had someone watching Liam, he should have someone who did not expose himself so easily! But if Christopher knew that he was in Eldoria instead of Mintwale, he might be in trouble.
He looked at Stella. This woman was kind and simple, so she was definitely no match for Christopher.
He had to protect her well.
"Anyway, I just think he's very strange, but I can't think of the reason why he did this. Why did he want to inquire about you?" Stella frowned, "Darling, could it be that you have offended someone before who knew Eric? So... "
"No." Liam smiled softly, "I have long since cut off from my previous life, and I no longer have contact with those people. Don't you worry."
"Okay." Stella nodded, "Don't worry, I didn't tell Eric anything about you!"
"What?" He was a little surprised.
Stella laughed, "I prevaricated every time he asked! When he wanted to know which boxing gym you were in, I recommended him to go to another gym, and when he offered to take me home, I said I was already on the subway. Anyway, I'm not that stupid to tell an unrelated outsider about our matters!"
Liam looked at her with tenderness in his eyes. He was willing to be with such a smart, cute and family-caring woman for the rest of his life.
It was just that there were more important things waiting for him now.
Stella tidied up the balcony and the room, and Liam just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. They sat on the sofa and leaned close to each other. Liam's body smelled of the fragrance of shower gel, and Stella's nose was pressed against his neck. She saw his Adam's apple moving slightly and was suddenly fascinated.
Soon she felt ashamed of her thoughts and buried her blushing face.
Liam had not noticed her subtle changes, so he rubbed against her hair and said softly, "I have something to do these few days. I won't be at home, so take care of yourself."
"What?" Stella was startled and stared at him with wide eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"There is a game." Liam said indifferently, "I have to train intensively these days, so I can't come back every day."
"Oh." Stella was a little disappointed, but she nodded and continued leaning in his embrace.
It was quiet for a while, but Liam could not help it anymore, and asked her with a light smile, "Why don't you ask me why I can't come back every day?"
"I heard that other people's wives didn't treat their husbands this way." He raised his dashing eyebrows, "Those women are very strict with their husbands, and they will bombard their husbands with phone calls when they come back a little late at night, but you... are a bit unusual!"
"Didn't you say that you're going for a game?" Stella's voice was delicate, "What else can I say besides giving you my full support?"
Liam was moved. He smiled and wrapped his large arm around her shoulder.
Stella also hugged him more snugly. Her face was pressed against his chest, and she asked him softly, "Do you really can't come home every day?"
"Yes."
"How many days will it take?"
"The competition will be held in a week, so I have to train exclusively for five or six days."
"Then... if you come back a little later every day, isn't that okay?"
