Chapter 44 I Will Take Responsibility for You

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 Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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.

"Is your company doing business in Emberfall?"

"Yes." Stella nodded. "My boss assigned me a task to develop the market in Emberfall. If it goes well,

they might break a rule to promote me as a sales supervisor!"

"To be honest, I didn't want to fight for anything in the first place," she said, with clear eyes and a soft

voice. "But Daniel and Ava went too far. To protect myself, I have to work hard and get promoted...

Besides, I calculated it. If I become a sales supervisor, my income will be three times what it is now!"

She glanced at Liam who remained expressionless.

"Honey." Stella gently held his hand and smiled. "When I become rich, let's get a bigger house on

mortgage and live more comfortably! I'll buy a cheap car, so you can go for a ride when you have free

time, and you don't have to take the crowded bus anymore!"

Liam looked at her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.

A house? A car?

He had as many of those as he wanted. No matter how big the house or how expensive the sports car

was, they were as ordinary as the butter and bread in his hand.

But there wouldn't be another woman who loved him wholeheartedly in this lifetime.

The space between Liam's eyebrows twitched, and he felt as if a large stone was blocking his chest,

making it hard for him to breathe.

"Fool." He touched her head. "Do you really want to support me?"

Stella was stunned for a moment. "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Men are supposed to support women. How can a wife support her husband?"

"I've been trying to get a job during this time, and I'll get a job soon." He said softly, "I won't let you bear

everything alone. This is our home, and I will take responsibility for you."

Stella looked at him for a long time and smiled sweetly before peeling an egg and putting it on his plate.

The next day, she went to Emberfall with her colleague Annie.

Emberfall was different from Eldoria. It was more majestic. If Eldoria was like a graceful and elegant

lady from a prestigious family, Emberfall was like a noble princess.

As soon as the plane landed, Stella called Liam to let him know she had arrived safely.

"Honey, I've arrived." She smiled and looked around. The two of them walked on the bustling central

commercial street of Emberfall, surrounded by towering skyscrapers. Annie was taking photos

everywhere.

Liam replied blandly, "Are you with someone?"

"Yes, Annie is with me." Stella said softly, "She is playful and doesn't want to go back to the hotel, so

she pulled me out to stroll around."

"Okay, be careful. You're unfamiliar with the place, so don't get separated."

"I know!"

"There are many interesting places in Emberfall." Liam smiled. "I'll send you a few addresses later.

After you and your colleague finish your work, you can visit those places."

Stella froze and asked him after a moment of silence, "Honey... Have you been to Emberfall before?"
