Chapter 6 Time to Visit Your Parents

Liam pinched his eyebrows, his expression becoming more serious. He took a deep breath and hung

up the phone.

He was going to make a trip back to Emberfall, but not now.

Returning now would only serve to alert his enemies, and those who thought his plane had crashed

and he was dead would stir up trouble again. They would come up with even more vicious ways to

harm him.

"Which do you like, sago or herbal?" Stella asked.

Startled by her voice, Liam turned around to meet her glittering eyes. The smile on her face was as

sweet as the bubble tea in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Stella asked, looking at him. "You didn't look quite..."

"I'm fine," Liam said, feeling uncomfortable at being seen through.

His voice was cold and hard as he turned his back on her. "Drink it yourself. I don't like sweet stuff."

Stella stood frozen in place for a long time, holding two cups of bubble tea. She bit her lip before

trotting after him.

She followed behind him but didn't dare get too close. His broad back was like a cold wall, and on the

other side of that wall was only his world. She was close at hand but couldn't walk past it.

...

On the second day after the wedding, everything went as usual.

Liam gave the bedroom to Stella to sleep in while he slept on the sofa outside. There was only one

quilt, so he gave it to her to use and wrapped himself in a worn-out sheet. Feeling upset, Stella stood in

the doorway for a long time, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him to come back and sleep in his

room.

It seemed that Liam was right. She indeed needed time to get used to having a husband.

She bowed her head slightly and chuckled.

Rumor had it that Liam was a cold person who wasn't good at communicating with people but was

good at fighting and brawling. But she didn't think he was so bad. At least toward her, he showed

enough respect and tolerance.

On the third day after the wedding, according to tradition, the bride should go back and visit her

parents.

Early in the morning, Stella's heart was beating fast.

accompany them and prepare some cakes to take back to their parents' houses. The family would

have a happy lunch together before the newlyweds went home before sunset.

But for Stella, her trip back was to ask for money.

Her father had promised to give her a substantial dowry as long as she took Amelia's and married the

man. It would be enough to cure her mother's illness and send her siblings to school.

However, three days after she got married, the Taylor family's promise seemed to have evaporated into

thin air. No one brought it up.

Stella thought about it and decided she had to ask for it herself. But she couldn't take Liam with her, or

everything would be exposed. If Liam got angry, she didn't know what he would do.

"Liam, I..." Stella racked her brain for the right words, trying to come up with a legitimate and logical

reason for her husband not to accompany her back to her parent's house.

After thinking for a while, she swallowed all those words and barely squeezed out a few. "I've made

breakfast. Come and eat."

Liam was exercising in the courtyard. When he heard her soft voice, his heart of stone seemed to melt.

Stella had made vegetarian dumplings, rice, and soy milk. When Liam stepped into the hut, it suddenly

felt brighter. After the wedding, this place no longer looked so old and gray.

There was more warmth here now, and everything that passed through Stella's hands had a sunny

smell.

Liam unconsciously curled his lips and sat down.

But seated across the table, the little woman seemed preoccupied.

He thought for a moment and whispered, "It's time for you to go back to visit your parents today, right?"

Stella was stunned. She bit her lip and looked down without speaking.
