    Chapter 62 Compensation for a Lifetime


    Ste''s hand, which was cutting meat, suddenly stopped. She bit her lip tightly, and aplex


    expression shed across her delicate face.


    After a moment of silence, her eyes turned red again, and tears ran down her cheeks.


    "I''m sorry... I''ve been lying to you all along. I''m not Amelia. I''m Ste. I''m not the rich daughter of the


    Taylor family, and I''m just an illegitimate daughter. I have no money..."


    "If you''re angry, I''m willing topensate you. As for how topensate you, it''s up to you. I only beg


    you not to me my mom and Samuel. They have no idea that I deceived you. I..."


    "Is it really up to me?" Liam smiled and walked to her side.


    "Hmm?"


    With a smile in his eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "Thepensation I want is very expensive."


    Ste was a little timid but still firmly said, "It''s okay. As long as you say it, I will definitely fulfill it."


    Liam''s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, looking into


    her bright eyes.


    He spoke word by word seriously, "I want you topensate me for a lifetime."


    Ste was stunned and somewhat surprised.


    "What''s wrong? Is a lifetime too short?" He chuckled lightly. "Then let it be for eternity."


    After staring at him nkly for a while, she finally smiled as if a burden had been lifted, leaned against


    him affectionately, and held him tightly.


    Liam, just like before, gently patted her head. His low and hoarse voice was filled with infinite


    tenderness. "What I want is you, not the rich daughter of the Taylor family. Besides... my own


    background is not that glorious either. If you don''t dislike me, I feel like I''ve found a treasure."


    "You''re my husband. Why would I dislike you?"


    "Yeah." He smiled at her. "You''re my wife, so why would I be angry with you?"


    Steughed heartily, and the two shallow dimples on her cheeks seemed to contain all the beauty in


    the world.


    Liam, on the other hand, felt a little mncholy. It was actually him who had been deceiving all along.


    ......


    Ste put the meat and vegetables back in the refrigerator and changed into a beautiful dress. She


    linked arms with Liam and went out.


    The two of them arrived at the Luxury Hotel and sat in the same window seat as before.


    Ste still ordered lobster fried rice, but it was arge portion this time, enough for the two of them to


    eat.


    "You can order whatever you want to eat!" She smiled yfully. "I got a raise, plus themission and


    bonus from the previous contract, it''s enough to support you!"


    Liam tapped her nose. "Then I''ll happily let you support me."


    "No problem!"


    He chuckled and really ordered two more dishes and a soup.


    But he instructed the waiter to pack the food to take awayter.


    "What''s wrong?" Ste looked at him in confusion. "Are you not satisfied with eating here? Do you want


    to go back and eat?"


    "It''s for your mother." He put down the menu and looked at her quietly.


    Ste''s heart suddenly skipped a beat.


    "She probably hasn''t eaten at this time. Let''s eat quickly and bring these to her." He whispered, "She''s


    also my mother. From now on, I''ll take care of her with you."


    "Darling..." She felt a mix of emotions in her heart, her nose tingling. She didn''t know what to say for a


    moment, so she just smiled at him.


    "Thank you for your kindness, but I''ll go see my mother by myselfter. You should go home early."


    Liam''s expression darkened. "What''s wrong?"


    Ste smiled bitterly. "My mother... is afraid of strangers. Sometimes she can''t even recognize me. I''m


    afraid she''ll be overwhelmed if she sees you suddenly."


    "What kind of illness does she have exactly?"


    "It''s a mental illness." Her voice was soft. "She''s rarely lucid and mostly confused. And because of her


    poor mental state, multiple organs in her body have failed. She almost died when it was the most


    serious."


    "It''s because of this reason that I agreed to marry you on behalf of Amelia." She bit her lip. "My father


    said that as long as I fulfilled the marriage contract, he would give me enough money to cover my


    mother''s medical expenses."

    Liam furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes darkening.


    The lobster rice was served, and Ste still gave him most of it as usual, carefully peeling the lobster


    and putting it on his te.


    She ate her rice with a small spoon while telling him the story.


    "I don''t know much about my mother''s story, but I heard from a few old servants in the Taylor family that


    my mother used to work as a servant there. One night, my father got drunk and barged into her room,


    and then..."


    Ste paused, her heart aching as she spoke of her mother''s ordeal.


    "After that, my mother''s mental state became unstable, and she didn''t even know she was pregnant. It


    was the old servants who discovered itter. By the time they found out, the fetus was already big, and


    it was risky to have an abortion, so my mother had to give birth to me."


    "After that, my father arranged for my mother and me to live in that house." Ste looked at him. "From


    childhood to adulthood, I remember my father visiting us very few times, but Madison woulde and


    make a scene every day, saying all sorts of hurtful things, which made my mother''s condition worse."


    "My mother never argued with anyone. She kept everything to herself. As time went on, she became


    like this, and her life could only be sustained by drips and medication."


    Ste sniffed, her expression gloomy.


    Liam held her hand and frowned harder.


    "What about Samuel?" He was puzzled. "What''s his story?"
