Chapter 7 None of His Business
Liam guessed a few things and continued calmly, "Go to the room and pull open the cabinet drawer.
There's a box inside. Bring it over."
Stella hummed and did as she was told. In the depths of the drawer, a carved wooden box was found.
The patterns on it were exquisite, and it emitted a fragrant scent.
Liam took it and opened it. Inside were several pieces of gold jewelry: necklaces, earrings, rings, and a
bracelet with a very special style. Inlaid in gold, the jade was smooth and transparent. It was glossy
and magnificent.
Stella's eyes widened as she looked at him uncertainly.
"This..."
"I didn't give you any decent betrothal presents," Liam said as he casually took the jewelry. "These are
to make up for that. Take a look and see if you need anything else."
Stella's hands clenched and unclenched under the table. She was nervous as she sneaked a glance at
Liam's cold face. Somehow, her heart overflowed with sweetness.
Each of these jewels was exquisite and flawless.
But how did he get them?
Liam read her mind and chuckled. "Don't worry. These weren't stolen or robbed. They're legitimate!"
Stella blushed with embarrassment.
How could she have doubted her husband like that?
"Keep them," Liam said, closing the box and pushing it toward her. His deep eyes gazed at her quietly.
"This is all I have and all my family can offer. Now that we're married, you should be in charge of the
household. I'll leave all the properties in your care."
"Liam, I..."
"One more thing," he interrupted her. "I won't be able to accompany you to your parents' house today.
Please extend my apology to them."
Stella froze before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, that's fine," she said with a faint smile. "Go ahead with your business. I can handle it myself!"
Watching her relieved expression, Liam shook his head and laughed inwardly. This little woman was
funny. Her emotions were written all over her face, and she couldn't hide anything.
With such a character, she would be bullied by a lot of people.
Bullied?
Liam's hand holding the fork paused, and his heart suddenly tightened. She was going back to visit her
parents. What if they bullied her?
Then again, that was none of his business.
Liam's heart was in turmoil. He put down his bowl after only a few bites and put on his coat to go out.
Stella didn't know where he was going. After cleaning up the house, she left to catch the bus. On the
way, she received a call from Mia Thompson and listened to her chatter until she reached her
destination.
"I can't believe how big-hearted you are!" Mia exclaimed. "What day is it today? You're going to visit
your parents, but your husband disappears like that. Does he even care about you or this marriage?"
Stella could only giggle.
Mia was two grades above her and had been her best friend during their school days. She had a fiery
personality, and Stella often said that if she had been born in ancient times, she would have been a
ranger.
Angry about the situation, the ranger began to rant, "He has nothing! He's blessed to have you as his
wife, but he doesn't cherish you. He..."
"Okay, okay!" Stella said awkwardly, forcing a smile. "It's me who doesn't want him to come along. I'm NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
going home today to ask for money. If he comes with me, things will be exposed."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Mia let out a deep sigh.
"Stella, you're putting your lifetime happiness on the line."
