Chapter 7 None of His Business


    Chapter 7 None of His Business


    Liam guessed a few things and continued calmly, "Go to the room and pull open the cab drawer.


    There''s a box inside. Bring it over."


    Ste 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: nes, earrings, rings, and a


    bracelet with a very special style. Iid in gold, the jade was smooth and transparent. It was glossy


    and magnificent.


    Ste''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."


    Ste''s hands clenched and unclenched under the table. She was nervous as she sneaked a nce at


    Liam''s cold face. Somehow, her heart overflowed with sweetness.


    Each of these jewels was exquisite and wless.


    But how did he get them?


    Liam read her mind and chuckled. "Don''t worry. These weren''t stolen or robbed. They''re legitimate!"


    Ste 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 apany you to your parents'' house today.


    Please extend my apology to them."


    Ste 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 andughed 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.


    Ste 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 eximed. "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?"


    Ste 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 Ste 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!" Ste said awkwardly, forcing a smile. "It''s me who doesn''t want him toe along. I''m


    going home today to ask for money. If hees 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.


    "Ste, you''re putting your lifetime happiness on the line."Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
