Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Compensation for a Lifetime

Stella's hand, which was cutting meat, suddenly stopped. She bit her lip tightly, and a complex expression flashed across her delicate face.

After a moment of silence, her eyes turned red again, and tears ran down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry... I've been lying to you all along. I'm not Amelia. I'm Stella. I'm not the rich daughter of the Taylor family, and I'm just an illegitimate daughter. I have no money..."

"If you're angry, I'm willing to compensate you. As for how to compensate you, it's up to you. I only beg you not to blame my mom and Samuel. They have no idea that I deceived you. I..."

"Is it really up to me?" Liam smiled and walked to her side.

"Hmm?"

With a smile in his eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "The compensation I want is very expensive."

Stella was a little timid but still firmly said, "It's okay. As long as you say it, I will definitely fulfill it."

Liam's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, looking into her bright eyes.

He spoke word by word seriously, "I want you to compensate me for a lifetime."

Stella was stunned and somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong? Is a lifetime too short?" He chuckled lightly. "Then let it be for eternity."

After staring at him blankly for a while, she finally smiled as if a burden had been lifted, leaned against him affectionately, and held him tightly.

Liam, just like before, gently patted her head. His low and hoarse voice was filled with infinite tenderness. "What I want is you, not the rich daughter of the Taylor family. Besides... my own background is not that glorious either. If you don't dislike me, I feel like I've found a treasure."

"You're my husband. Why would I dislike you?"

"Yeah." He smiled at her. "You're my wife, so why would I be angry with you?"

Stella laughed heartily, and the two shallow dimples on her cheeks seemed to contain all the beauty in the world.

Liam, on the other hand, felt a little melancholy. It was actually him who had been deceiving all along.

......

Stella put the meat and vegetables back in the refrigerator and changed into a beautiful dress. She linked arms with Liam and went out.

The two of them arrived at the Luxury Hotel and sat in the same window seat as before.

Stella still ordered lobster fried rice, but it was a large portion this time, enough for the two of them to eat.

"You can order whatever you want to eat!" She smiled playfully. "I got a raise, plus the commission and bonus from the previous contract, it's enough to support you!"

Liam tapped her nose. "Then I'll happily let you support me."

"It's because of this reason that I agreed to marry you on behalf of Amelia." She bit her lip. "My father said that as long as I fulfilled the marriage contract, he would give me enough money to cover my mother's medical expenses."

Liam furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes darkening.

The lobster rice was served, and Stella still gave him most of it as usual, carefully peeling the lobster and putting it on his plate.

She ate her rice with a small spoon while telling him the story.

"I don't know much about my mother's story, but I heard from a few old servants in the Taylor family that my mother used to work as a servant there. One night, my father got drunk and barged into her room, and then..."

Stella paused, her heart aching as she spoke of her mother's ordeal.

"After that, my mother's mental state became unstable, and she didn't even know she was pregnant. It was the old servants who discovered it later. By the time they found out, the fetus was already big, and it was risky to have an abortion, so my mother had to give birth to me."

"After that, my father arranged for my mother and me to live in that house." Stella looked at him. "From childhood to adulthood, I remember my father visiting us very few times, but Madison would come and make a scene every day, saying all sorts of hurtful things, which made my mother's condition worse."

"My mother never argued with anyone. She kept everything to herself. As time went on, she became like this, and her life could only be sustained by drips and medication."

Stella sniffed, her expression gloomy.

Liam held her hand and frowned harder.

"What about Samuel?" He was puzzled. "What's his story?"
