Chapter 85 She is Different
All the other women wanted their husbands to be the richest men in the world, but apparently, his wife
was not like them.
Stella stared at him with her sparkling eyes and asked, "Why should I hope that you are an
extraordinary person? Isn't it good to be ordinary?"
"No." Liam smiled slightly, "What I meant was, if I were successful, wouldn't you be able to have a
better life?"
"Well, we're living a wonderful life right now!" Stella held his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
She had always been a contented person. Compared to fame and fortune, she preferred living an
ordinary, peaceful life.
"Actually, I don't envy those rich people." She said in a low voice, "Maybe it's because I grew up in an
abnormal family. I witnessed my mother's tragedy and I always feel that rich people are heartless..."
"So, I just want to find someone who loves me, start a family, and live happily ever after together! That
is my only wish."
Liam looked at her and asked, "If..."
He uttered hoarsely, "If, you found out that your husband was actually a rich guy, what would you do?"
His question struck Stella. She paused, fell into her thoughts, and answered him, "I don't think I could
accept it."
As he listened to her answer, his heart tightened. "Why?"
"It's too stressful for me. I will feel that we have nothing in common. We live in a different world and I'm
sure there will be many conflicts in the future. Instead of fighting every day in the future, it'd be better if
we break up now."
Liam immediately interjected, "Are you planning to break up with me?"
"Why are you acting so nervous? I'm just kidding!" laughed Stella as she leaned on his shoulder.
"We're just a normal couple, darling. Stop thinking that unrealistic things. What you said earlier is too
unrealistic! Let's live a good life, save our money, and have children until we're old, okay?"
"Of course," Liam nodded his head as he struggled to say those two words.
Under the dim light, she couldn't see his somber expression or sense his unspoken feelings.
Liam hugged her tightly as he felt the sudden fear. He looked out at the pitch-black sea in the distance,
as if it were their unknown future.
Audrey called out to Liam several times before he regained his senses. This time, he almost burned his
hand with the cigarette.
Snatching away the cigarette which he was holding, Audrey smashed it hard into the ashtray and
looked at Liam, who was acting like a fool.
Oliver, who was sitting next to him couldn't stop laughing. "Audrey, you have to remember his stunned
expression just now! It's something that will only happen once in a lifetime."
Liam gave him a death glare.
Listening to his comments, Audrey became somehow interested, "What's wrong with Liam? He had
never acted like this before!"
"You're right," Oliver whispered, "In fact, he had never acted like this before he got married!"
Audrey immediately understood the meaning behind his words and burst out laughing.
Liam was in no mood to talk to them. In order to hide his embarrassment, he randomly picked up the
financial magazine next to him and flipped through it, but his action led to another round of laughter.
"Noah!" shouted Caleb as he pointed out, "You've got it upside down!"
Liam darkened his facial expression as he listened to Caleb's comments.
Caleb had long suspected that something must have happened between Liam and Stella to make him
act the way he did. But, that was their problem and should be solved between them. So, Liam didn't
want to tell them, the outsiders, what was going on.
He coughed and changed the subject."So... what were you saying earlier? Audrey, did you say
something was going to happen in Emberfall?"
Audrey looked at her brother as she explained, "Lately, Uncle Christopher seems restless. He's been
arguing with Dad all day in the directorate, and Grandpa doesn't even care! Uncle Christopher also
said that since you're staying in Bramore, you must be on the same team as your maternal grandfather,
ignoring the Martinez family..." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"Hah!" Oliver scoffed contemptuously, "Did Sir Martinez even believe those words?"
"He may not believe it if Uncle Christopher mentions it once or twice." Liam said in a deep tone, "But if
he repeated the lie a thousand times, even the lie could become the truth, couldn't it?"
The people around him fell silent.
"Besides, Zander must be planning something nasty behind," Audrey continued. "Brother, you must
remain vigilant in this matter. I've heard that Zander has connections with the mafias. If he wants to
mess with you, he will definitely hire them. He is in the dark now, while you are in the light. You can't let
him succeed!"
"Of course, I'm aware of that."
Zander was Christopher Martinez's son- they were birds of the same feathers, flocking together.
On the other hand, although Liam's father, Alton Martinez was the eldest son in the Martinez family, he
had no talent for the business. Sir Martinez always referred to him as a useless man. Not to mention
that he had even divorced and remarried, which had caused quite a stir. Sir Martinez had begun to look
down on Alton.
And with that in mind, Alton was sure to get into trouble whenever Christopher spread bad rumors
about him in front of Sir Martinez.
Liam narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
"I've found out that Christopher and his son are using a shell company to accumulate wealth by unfair
means." He ordered firmly, "But, don't do anything yet. If he dares to make any moves, this will be our
trump card!"
Audrey nodded her head, "Understood!"
"When do you plan to return to Emberfall?"
"Well..." Audrey grinned mischievously, "I haven't said a word to my sister-in-law yet, so what's the
point of me going back so soon?"
"Audrey," Liam said in a low tone, "You know how to act when you get back, don't you?"
"Of course, of course!" Audrey chuckled.
Before she came, she had heard that Mr. Anderson was pampering Mrs. Anderson without a bottom
line, and had hidden his identity for fear that Stella wouldn't be able to accept it when she found out the
truth.
Noah didn't even bother with those beautiful women who had once been introduced to him by
Christopher.
Stella, however, being the exceptional one, easily captured his heart.
This made Audrey even more curious as to what kind of woman Stella was.
"By the way, Oliver." Liam focused his gaze on him, "Since the Wilson family has a lot of properties
here, are you familiar with all the shops in Eldoria?"
Oliver was stunned by his sudden question. With a slight frown, he replied, "Well, the Wilson family
does deal with some merchants. Noah, are you planning to open a shop?"
"Help me find a suitable shop. It should have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the courtyard should be
planted with irises... Well, it shouldn't be too far from the city center."
The remaining people were surprised as they widened their eyes.
"Don't look at me with such a strange expression." Liam looked at them and stood up. As he headed
toward the door, he said, "Anyway, I need this shop. Let me look at it when you find it and I'll make a
decision afterward!"
He left the room, leaving the three of them speechless.
Looking at his watch, Liam smiled softly. It was time for him to pick Stella up from work at this hour.
It had always been that way during these days. When it was time for her to get off work, he arrived at
her office building on time. They took the bus home, bought groceries at the market, prepared dinner,
and watched TV together.
This idle life was so comfortable that it gave him a sense of unreality.
However, just as he was walking down the stairs, his mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Amelia who
contacted him, "Liam, we're having dinner together. C'mon, join us!"
"If you don't, I'll tell the male colleague to send Stella back! Since she's always acting mysterious all the
time, no one knows where she lives ...Haha, if the male colleague sends her off to somewhere else
instead, you mustn't be angry with my sister!"
