Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 I Only Want You

"It's just a precaution!" Stella gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, offering a tender yet resolute smile.

"In case we do have a child, we need to be prepared. But I wanted to get this insurance for your sake..."

Her fingers intertwined with Noah's, her heart brimming with thoughts of him.

"Darling... this is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. I've been reading a lot of information lately. I'm concerned that if anything were to happen, like some of the posts online suggest, I-"

"What are you saying?!" His expression darkened, and he gazed at Stella with stern resolve. "Don't let your mind wander into unverified claims. Nothing will happen to you!"

"Don't be upset!" She leaned on his shoulder. "I'm only suggesting that you should remember to make use of this money if such a situation were to ever arise."

"There won't be any such situation! None at all!" Noah could not help but release a low, fierce growl, and his dark and menacing countenance even startled her.

She stared at him in astonishment, her heart racing.

His reaction had been swift, and he tore the two insurance policies into tatters with a few brisk movements.

The world suddenly fell silent.

The heavy and stifling presence surrounding Noah instinctively prompted Stella to take a step back.

"Darling..."

He snapped back to reality and realized he had inadvertently frightened her.

Swiftly, he enfolded her in his arms, his voice deep and reassuring. "I didn't mean to get angry with you. I just wanted to emphasize that such accidents won't happen. Even if something unexpected were to occur..."

Noah's eyes darkened, and he declared with a gravelly undertone, "I don't want a child. I only want you!"

Stella's heart swelled with warmth, and her nose tingled with emotion. She tenderly stroked his broad back with her petite hand.

"Silly, what are you saying? Do you really mean it? Are you willing to give up having a child?"

"I am," he responded without hesitation.

She could not help but chuckle and playfully pinched Noah's cheek. Her bright, mischievous eyes gleamed like stars.

He bore a solemn and imposing expression, which might have seemed rather intimidating, but Stella understood it stemmed from his anxiety.

"Alright." She gently said, "From this moment on, we won't bring up these unsettling matters. We'll both live to be a hundred, and we'll grow old together like a pair of wily old souls. How does that sound?"

A faint smile finally graced his face.

Nevertheless, this incident had served as a poignant wake-up call for him.

A few days later, Noah met with Caleb at the law firm. "How did the matter I asked you to handle last time progress?"

Caleb stroked his chin thoughtfully and displayed several template documents on his computer.

"Noah, regarding that insurance you brought up, I think it would be more fitting for you to personally draft a declaration affirming that all your assets are to be equally shared with Stella or something along those lines. It seems like the more appropriate route."

"Would such a declaration hold legal weight?" Whenever it pertained to Stella's interests, Noah always wanted to ensure its legal validity.

Caleb smiled. "As long as it goes through notarization, it will unquestionably carry legal weight!"

"Good."

"But, Noah, are you absolutely certain about this?"

"Since she's my wife, it's only natural that everything I possess should belong to her."

Although the formal marriage certificate was still pending, he wanted to ensure Stella's security.

"If you go through with this, it will swiftly reach Sir Martinez's ears. After all, you are the most promising heir of the Martinez Group, and your wealth is beyond measure."

Noah exhaled a smoke ring slowly, his gaze deepening.

"I'm not concerned if he finds out. Stella will eventually become a part of the Martinez family."

Caleb nodded, comprehending his resolve.
