Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 19 A Feast

Chapter 19 A Feast

Before Stella could reject the proposal, Liam dragged her out of the house.

She remained silent on the way, her mind racing to think about what she could afford with her meager

salary.

She stole a glance at Liam. He had always lived a secluded and impoverished life, so he probably

didn't know about any restaurants in Eldoria, right?

Given his spending habits, he could probably get by with a roadside stall.

Besides, some restaurants offered unlimited servings of staple food, which would definitely be enough

for him.

Stella lowered her head and smiled.

Ever since they got married, she had been frugal and even bought cheap ingredients to cook at home.

But she had heard from an old servant of the Taylor family that young couples needed to keep their

passion and occasionally go out for a romantic meal, which would help their relationship.

So... why not be a little extravagant today and treat him to a meal outside?

However, when Stella raised her head, she realized that she had already walked with Liam to the

busiest commercial street and stopped in front of the Luxury Hotel!

"Let's go to this one." His words were casual as if he had just picked an inconspicuous cabbage at the

market.

"What did you say?" Stella almost exclaimed.

"I said, let's eat here." Liam squinted his eyes and chuckled. "I think this place is pretty good."

Stella couldn't help but hold her bag tightly and her breath hitched.

This was the most expensive five-star hotel in Eldoria. She had never even bothered to look up at it

when passing by.

If they were to eat here, her meager salary probably wouldn't even be enough for a plate of cold

dishes!

Liam pulled her inside, and the waitstaff on both sides respectfully bowed to them. The manager came

out, wearing a professional smile. "Welcome."

"Liam!" Stella suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?"

"We..."

They didn't have enough money.

They'd better go to a cheaper restaurant instead.

People like them couldn't afford to eat here.

But Stella bit back the words she would like to have said.

She looked at Liam, who seemed somewhat expectant, and thought about how he had given all those

precious family heirlooms to her.

He treated her as his family, so how could she be stingy with her own husband?

Stella gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She forced a smile. "Let's go in."

Liam froze for a moment, completely taken aback by her answer.

"Really?"

"Of course!" Stella smiled cheerfully, leaning against him adorably. "Since you like it, we'll eat here. It's

just a meal. Don't worry. I can afford it!"

Liam's eyes flashed.

He deliberately chose this place, knowing that Stella didn't earn much and expecting her to come up

with various excuses to dismiss him. Maybe she would end up buying cheap ingredients and cooking at

home again.

He just wanted to play a trick and force her to admit that she was not Amelia but just a substitute.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his prank had gone too far.

"Or maybe we should..." Before he could finish his sentence, Stella pulled him inside, found a table by

the window, and sat down. They could see the night scenery. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella ordered two dishes which were not too expensive, but it was the best she could do. She

specifically told the waiter that they only needed small portions, enough for Liam to eat alone.

"Why aren't you eating?" He looked into her eyes.

She smiled, avoiding his gaze. "I'm not very hungry, not in the mood for food."

"But you just complained that I didn't cook at home."

Stella fell silent, a hint of distress flashing across her clear eyes.

Liam put down his fork, his deep gaze seeming to see her through. After a moment of pause, he asked

word by word, "We've been married for some days. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
