Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 We Will Separate

These words confused Stella.

She looked at the old lady in confusion. When she was about to ask, she was startled by Liam.

His face was dark and his gaze was fierce as if he could lose his temper at any moment.

Stella gently held his hand and whispered in his ear, "She is getting older and doesn't even know what she's saying... Don't take it to heart."

Unexpectedly, the old lady had sharp ears and heard her words, grinning.

"You're such a kindhearted girl, and kindness will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Madam." Stella smiled. "Actually, my husband is a kind person too. It's just that he looks fierce on the outside and is sometimes too serious, so he is often misunderstood."

"Ha-ha, you want to tell your marriage fate, right?"

Stella nodded quickly.

The old lady glanced at her palm lines and slowly took out two red strings from her pocket.

The tassels were exquisitely made, and each heart-shaped knot had a unique little bell hanging from it, making a crisp sound when touched.

"Tie this around your wrist." The old lady instructed with emphasis word by word, "No matter how far apart you are in the future, as long as the bell rings, you will know where each other is."

"What a mess..." Aiden furrowed his brows and murmured, "If there's something so magical, we wouldn't need cell phones!"

Stella was taken aback, turned to the old lady, and smiled gently. "Madam, my husband and I won't be far apart. We will always be together!"

"There will be a day when you will separate."

Stella's face turned pale, and she tightly held Liam's hand.

"But..." The old lady's gaze became distant and profound as she smiled and said, "There will also be a day when you will be happy together."

Only then did Stella's furrowed brows gradually relax. She smiled, revealing the shallow dimples again.

Liam was burdened with worries. He squinted at the old lady, held Stella, and turned to leave.

"Huh, what a strange old lady!" Aiden interrupted, "Is she getting senile with age? But her last sentence was quite nice..."

"Hey, are you just leaving like that?" The old lady suddenly called out to them.

They stopped in their tracks and saw her change from her mysterious and unfathomable appearance to standing with her hands on her hips, her eyes as big as camel bells.

"I said so much and even gave you the bracelets! Aren't you going to give me money?"

"Oh my... is she really a swindler?" Aiden couldn't help but feel speechless. "Madam, how much do you want?"

The old lady immediately became serious and said lightly, "It depends on you."

Aiden's facial features almost twisted with laughter.

Liam remained indifferent, took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, and gave it to her. The old lady smiled meaningfully, looked at Stella, and left with satisfaction.

The rest of the journey was silent.

Aiden couldn't hold it in any longer and broke the silence. "Don't mind what she said! Heh, I've been to many temples in different places, and they all have these fortune tellers at the entrance, just trying to scam money. Don't believe what she said! You two will definitely be together till old age!"

Mia glanced at him with a hint of approval in her eyes.

Aiden blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Stella smiled and still held Liam's hand tightly. "Thank you, Dr. Johnson. Actually, I didn't take it to heart. Besides, what she said was quite nice, and she gave us such beautiful bracelets."

She looked at Liam, and he still had a serious expression. His face was as cold as ice, making people hesitant to approach him.
