Chapter 142 Don't Have Improper Thoughts
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Stella's soft and gentle voice sounded.
"I love you too."
Stella's heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly hung up the phone after saying that.
She held her phone in a daze for a moment and then giggled.
Although they had been married for so long, they had never formally said "I love you" to each other.
Stella stretched, feeling as if she was on cloud nine. She would surely dream of him again tonight.
After hanging up the phone, Noah was about to ask Andrew to come and pick him up, but he heard
some movement behind him.
"Is that Miss Taylor?"
His heart tightened as he turned around abruptly. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you still here?"
"Noah..." Gwen paused for a moment and then changed the address. "Master Noah, you can't continue
to be with Taylor Miss like this, right?"
Noah's face darkened. "My business with her has nothing to do with you!"
"But your business is related to the entire Martinez family."
"You're not part of the Martinez family, so why bother worrying about it?"
Gwen's body trembled slightly.
Jealousy burned in her heart like flames, devouring her pride and rationality.
She had heard a rough idea of the argument between Noah and Pater in the study just now, and
Noah's rare tenderness on the phone made it hard to believe that he was the usually arrogant and cold
Master Noah of the Martinez family.
The Martinez family and the Gwen family had already tacitly agreed to this marriage, and she had
always considered herself as the granddaughter-in-law of the Martinez family.
But why...
Why did Stella suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Gwen took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and tried to force a somewhat natural smile.
"Master Noah, I'm not worried about the Martinez family. I'm worried about you."
"Miss Taylor doesn't know your identity now, but once it's revealed, she will undoubtedly be frightened
by it."
"Will she still say goodnight to you with affection and sweetness? Maybe she will, but can you be sure
that her 'goodnight' is because she loves you, or because she's afraid of you?"
The cold moonlight reflected Noah's stern features, along with the hand he tightly clenched, and the
bulging veins on the back of his hand.
"Master Noah..." Gwen took a step forward.
Seeing that he didn't react much, she thought that her words might have worked, so she became NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
bolder and called out softly, "Noah..."
"Noah." She tried her best to show her generosity as his wife. "If you trust me, I can go talk to Miss
Taylor. At least after she knows your identity, she won't be afraid of you and can still stay by your side!"
"I don't trust you." Noah coldly retorted.
"Noah, you..."
"Gwen, I warn you." He said word by word, "If you dare to get close to her, I will do whatever it takes to
destroy the Gwen family even if the Martinez family will be ruined as well!"
"Don't think that I can't do it, and don't think that the Gwen family is really so powerful that no one dares
to target it."
"Other members of the Martinez family might have concerns, but I don't! The safety of the Gwen family
is all in your hands. If you don't want your entire family to be buried with you, be honest and don't have
any improper thoughts!"
Noah's aura was as strong as a death god walking out of hell.
Gwen took two steps back, looking at him in shock, her lips trembling slightly.
The Gwen family's strength was not inferior to the Martinez family, and it could even be said that they
were evenly matched.
But she, the noble daughter of the Gwen family, was being warned and humiliated by Noah like this
because of a lowly woman!
Gwen was angry and scared, but she didn't dare to say a word to Noah and could only stand stiffly in
place.
Andrew drove up, and Noah got into the car without looking back. They left.
Gwen was filled with anger and screamed with all her strength in the courtyard, "Ah!"
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The servant who followed her here from the Gwen family rushed over.
Seeing Gwen's bad complexion, the servant guessed a bit and draped her with the coat she brought,
comforting her softly, "Miss, don't worry. As long as Sir Martinez doesn't give an order, Master Noah
wouldn't dare to bring that woman back..."
"But what am I to him?"
"Miss, that woman doesn't seem to have any powerful background. Shall we secretly investigate her?"
Gwen remembered Noah's fierce appearance earlier and hesitated.
"Miss, Master Noah only warned you not to get close to that woman, but he didn't say you couldn't
investigate!"
Gwen squinted her eyes slightly. Yes, only by knowing Stella could she figure out Stella's weaknesses.
And then she could find the right solution!
......
Eldoria.
Stella brought her mother back home and went to cook in the kitchen.
Samuel took care of packing things and moved swiftly. Soon. he arranged the bedroom properly.
However, when he saw the box in the corner, his expression froze, and his curiosity was piqued once
again.
It seemed that this box had always been off-limits since he was a child. Even when his mother was
seriously ill, she always reminded him to take good care of this box.
But what exactly was inside?
Samuel was lost in thought when Stella came in and asked with a smile, "Is everything arranged?"
"Yes, it's done!"
"The food is ready too. Come out and eat!"
Samuel agreed and helped Peggy walk towards the dining room.
Peggy looked around, feeling unfamiliar in this room.
"Mom, you don't know that we've moved houses, right?" Samuel said happily, "Back then, Amelia came
to cause trouble and insisted on kicking us out, but it was Stella's husband, Liam, who helped us!"
"Stella's husband?" Peggy's eyes moved and she looked at Stella in a daze. "Are you... married?"
Stella smiled and placed a plate of food in front of Peggy.
"Yes, Mom! Liam is great. He listens to Stella in everything and treats me very well too!"
Peggy's pale face turned somewhat gloomy.
Stella had gotten married, but as a mother, she didn't prepare a dowry for Stella or give Stella advice
on married life like a normal mother would.
Since Stella was little, Peggy had never fulfilled her duty as a mother. Later, she became confused due
to illness and had to trouble Stella to take care of her.
Now she was clear-headed, but how long could she maintain it?
Peggy's eyes became slightly red, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Mom!" Stella quickly put down her fork. "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine..." Peggy forced a smile and tightly held her hand. "Stella, I am really a failure. Your marriage
is such an important thing, but I didn't even..."
"Mom, don't say that!" Stella hugged her. "Actually, fate is kind to me. I'm very happy to marry Liam!"
"Is his name Liam?"
Stella nodded with a smile.
Her gaze was clear, and her smile was still pure and innocent, which was the most beautiful image in
her mother's heart.
It seemed that Stella was right. She married the right person and would have a lifetime of happiness.
Peggy regained her composure, took Stella's hand, and stood up to return to the bedroom.
"Mom, aren't you going to eat?"
"Close the door." Peggy said softly, "Don't let Samuel come in. I have something to tell you alone."
