Chapter 6 Time to Visit Your Parents
Liam pinched his eyebrows, his expression bing 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 ne had crashed
and he was dead would stir up trouble again. They woulde up with even more vicious ways to
harm him.
"Which do you like, sago or herbal?" Ste 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?" Ste asked, looking at him. "You didn''t look quite..."
"I''m fine," Liam said, feeling ufortable 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."
Ste stood frozen in ce 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 Ste 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, Ste stood in

the doorway for a long time, but she couldn''t bring herself to tell him toe 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 atmunicating 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, ording to tradition, the bride should go back and visit her
parents.
Early in the morning, Ste''s heart was beating fast.
For others, returning home to see their parents was a big event for newlyweds. Their husbands should
apany 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 Ste, 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.
Ste 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..." Ste racked her brain for the right words, trying toe up with a legitimate and logical
reason for her husband not to apany 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.
Ste had made vegetarian dumplings, rice, and soy milk. When Liam stepped into the hut, it suddenly
felt brighter. After the wedding, this ce no longer looked so old and gray.
There was more warmth here now, and everything that passed through Ste''s hands had a sunny
smell.
Liam unconsciously curled his lips and sat down.
But seated across the table, the little woman seemed preupied.
He thought for a moment and whispered, "It''s time for you to go back to visit your parents today, right?"
Ste was stunned. She bit her lip and looked down without speaking.
