Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 I Will Take Responsibility for You

Liam's eyes froze as he silently watched her. There was no expression on his cold and stern face, but complex emotions surged in the depths of his eyes.

Stella suddenly realized what he was thinking. She had been meeting with clients and studying the information about her clients during this period, so he might misunderstand...

"Liam, I... I didn't mean that!" She hurriedly explained, "I will never betray our marriage. When I said I lied to you, I meant..."

She paused, licked her lips, and said in a low voice, "I meant, if one day, you found that I was not worth your thoughtfulness, what would you do?"

Liam looked at her for a long time before chuckling.

He didn't say anything, gently embraced her, and kept stroking her long hair.

Stella's face pressed against his broad chest, and she could hear his strong heartbeat.

His heartbeat gave her an infinite sense of security.

"Don't think too much." His voice was low and hoarse. "Go to sleep."

She smiled, held his waist, and gently closed her eyes.

She had an exceptionally sweet sleep.

Liam was used to sleeping alone, but he didn't sleep much that night. Stella rested her head on his arm, and he was like a pillow for her, not daring to move easily.

In the early morning, he woke up in a daze and found her clinging to him like an octopus with one long and fair leg draped over his waist. She hugged his neck with both hands and was grinding her teeth.

Her sleeping posture wasn't very attractive, but it was cute and real.

He smiled and couldn't bear to disturb her beautiful dream. He gently moved her to the other side and carefully got out of bed to cook breakfast.

When Stella woke up and found no one beside her, her heart skipped a beat, and she ran out barefoot.

"Awake?" Liam came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. "I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly. Go wash your face and have breakfast."

She looked at the breakfast on the table. Although it was just simple boiled eggs, milk, and bread, it was already a big improvement compared to the burnt mess from last time.

Stella's heart was filled with happiness. She was more sure that she had made the right choice to marry him.

"Oh, there's something I need to tell you." Halfway through eating, Stella suddenly thought of something. "I have a business trip tomorrow, and I'll probably be away for four or five days. Take care of yourself."

"A business trip?" Liam's expression remained calm as he spread butter on a slice of bread. "Where are you going?"

"Emberfall."

Liam's hand, which was spreading butter, suddenly stopped, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed across his eyes.
