Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 He Pitied Her

After dinner, Stella cut up some fruits, brought them over, and then sat down next to Liam.

Liam had been holding his phone and looking at it. Curious, Stella leaned over to take a look, thinking he was playing games, but to her surprise, he was browsing a foreign website. The people in the pictures were dressed in suits and leather shoes and all looked like successful individuals.

Stella was taken aback. At that moment, Liam suddenly turned his head. Stella was so close to him and almost bumped into the tip of his nose. The two of them stared at each other in a daze, her face turning red and her heart pounding.

"What's wrong?" Liam whispered.

"N-nothing." Stella awkwardly sat down next to him, nervously twisting her hands together. She tried to find something to say and said with a smile, "Are you reading the news?"

"Yeah, financial news."

"Do you know about this?"

Liam turned his face again, his hawk-like eyes seemingly smiling. "Then what do you think someone who has been in fights and been to jail should know about?"

"I didn't mean that!" Stella's face turned completely red. "I'm just a little surprised that you know so much."

It suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere was awkward and they were silent. Stella felt nervous, but looking at Liam's calm expression, she felt that her nervousness was unnecessary.

Although they were legally married, sitting together felt so awkward, and they couldn't even have a proper conversation.

Stella patted her head, thinking if she was too dull.

Liam noticed her small action.

A smile that he himself didn't notice appeared at the corner of his lips.

Liam put down his phone and used a fork to eat the fruit, casually asking her, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Huh?" Stella hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. "No."

"Oh." He looked at her. "Do we have enough money to use?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"It's just a casual conversation." Liam's voice was calm. "How do other couples talk? Isn't it about these household matters?"

Stella bit her lip and remained silent.
