Oliver was stunned now.
The Wilson family did have some kind of influence in Eldoria but they were unable to investigate an
extremely small company. Besides, people would get suspicious if he investigated it using his identity.
What if someone misunderstood him again like the other day when he taught Henry a lesson...
Oliver coughed twice and smiled awkwardly. He then said, "Noah, I can help you investigate it but I
have to be frank with you. If someone creates rumors and claims that I have some kind of ambiguous
relationship with your wife in the meantime, you can't believe that... Ouch!''
Before he could finish talking, Caleb smacked Oliver's head.
Stella began to work harder during the second month of her employment. She had also learned about
some survival rules after first stepping into work. She knew how to mediate the situation when Ava
made things difficult for her. Besides, she knew how to protect herself in the face of Daniel's open or
secret harassment. She would try her best to limit her contact with him at work.
But it would consume much of her energy. She would be very exhausted every day.
When she went home, she would take off her high heels and lay on the sofa. Sometimes, she would be
so tired that she slept until the middle of the night. When she woke up, she found that there was a thin
blanket on her body. Liam would be on the floor next to her, sleeping while pillowing his arms.
She occupied his sofa, but he did not go into her bedroom and sleep in her bed.
Stella chuckled. Worry hit her but at the same time, she felt warmed.
Liam once said, "You'd better resign since this job is so tiring."
"I can't do that." Stella looked at him. If I don't work, we won't have the money to buy food and pay for
the rent."
"Do you care about this little money?"
"Little money?" Feeling stupefied, she smiled and stated, "You're so carefree. You won't know the
responsibility since you never take charge... Alas, we'll suffer if I don't sign a few more orders and get
the bonus."
She unconsciously began to see them as a team when she talked.
Liam chuckled. He found this kind of feeling very peculiar. He had never felt this way in the past.
Hence, he purposely teased her, "Weren't you the young lady of the Taylor family before you married
me? Why do I feel like you are reluctant to spend money? You even have to work so hard. Does your
family want to watch you suffer so?"
Stella was cutting some vegetables. She nearly cut her finger as her heart beat wildly.
"What... What are you talking about?" She smiled unnaturally and was barely able to explain it away.
"I'm married now even if I used to be a rich young lady. I have my family, so I'm no longer a part of my
parents' family. Of course, I have to plan my life well and can't spend casually."
"Is that so?" Liam's smile deepened. He got closer to her and looked at her. "But rich people will still be
better than poor people even if they suffer a setback. Even if you're married and no longer the young
lady of the Taylor family, your savings must be more than ordinary people's, isn't it? Of course, you'll
get a large sum of dowry too. But why have I never seen it?"
Consequently, Stella blushed and turned abruptly to stare at him. Her large beautiful eyes were full of
awkwardness.
"Why... why did you ask me about that? After we got married, I... Did I ever starve you or make you feel
cold? I serve you so well. Do you doubt I keep some money to myself? Is that why you ask about that?
You're so annoying..."
She erupted in anger, but she appeared very adorable. While talking, she became unconfident, so her
eyes were downcast and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Seeing that, one felt sorry for her.
Did she serve him well?
One of them slept in bed while the other slept on the sofa. So, did she serve him well?
Liam tried his best to suppress his laughter and coughed twice.
"We're just chitchatting. Why are you so anxious?"
Stella took a deep breath and straightened her neck. "Am I? Humph, I'm also chitchatting with you. I'm
not anxious!"
After that, she turned and went on with her cooking. But out of the corner of her eye, she could see him
remained standing at the door of the kitchen. She could also feel his sharp gaze on her back.
So, she calmed down and continued cooking. She was usually quick in cooking but she nearly burned
the simple fried shrimp today...
Helplessly, she sighed.
It looked like she had to set up an image of the rich young lady of the Taylor family from now on to
protect the secret of her marrying him on someone else's behalf.
