Chapter 14 The Matchmaker Doctor
Chapter 14 The Matchmaker Doctor
Oliver slapped his thigh, only then realizing that he had caused big trouble.
"Caleb... you have to help me!" Oliver was at a loss. "I never thought about competing with Noah for a woman! Besides, Stella is too young to be my type! What's wrong with Noah? He actually likes her..." Caleb took a sip of tea, revealing a meaningful smile.
Yes, he never knew that Mr. Noah Martinez, who was always aloof and ruthless and was never interested in women, would live as Liam here and even care about a girl like Stella so much. "Didn't Noah say that he doesn't care about this marriage and that he only sees it as a hiding shell?"
"Do you believe what he said?" Caleb rolled his eyes at Oliver. "Just wait and see. I don't think Stella is simple. Ha, Noah might not even want to return to Emberfall in the future!"
After lunch, Liam said goodbye to Stella and left.
This village was not big. Before Stella married him, he often walked along the small path up the mountain. There were not many people there, and the air was fresh, making it especially suitable for solitude. Liam often needed moments of tranquility to carefully plan for the future.
But today, he couldn't calm down. Amelia's insulting words on the phone kept echoing in his ears.
He took a deep breath, preparing to walk toward the mountaintop when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, "Hey, Liam!"
A young man waved his arm as he ran up from the lower path.
Liam was taken aback and furrowed his brows lightly.
"I felt like it was you down the mountain just now! I didn't expect you to walk so fast. I had to rush to catch up!"
"By the way, are your injuries healed already? Do you need me to get some medicine for you again?"
Liam nodded and said in a bland voice, "Thank you. The injuries are already healed. I couldn't recover without you at that time."
"We're friends. There's no need to be polite!"
The man patted Liam's shoulder, and the two of them walked toward the mountaintop together.
To be honest, Liam was grateful to him. His name was Aiden Johnson, and he had a rich family. He was one of the few wealthy people in the village.
Aiden was also the only college student in the village, graduating from medical school.
The year he returned after graduating, he happened to meet Liam, who was recuperating at home. Aiden was a warmhearted man. Everyone in the village thought Liam had a strange temperament and was difficult to approach, but Aiden would go to check on his injuries every few days and sometimes even bring him some special medicine.
The friendship gained unexpectedly in sore distress made Liam feel warm.
But later on, it became a burden for him.
Somehow, Aiden found out about the connection between the Anderson family and the Taylor family and made the engagement between the two families widely known. Everyone in Eldoria was making fun of the Taylor family. If they refused to marry their daughter because the Anderson family had gone bankrupt, it would become a topic of discussion in the business world, with the Taylor family becoming an example of breaking their promise.
The Taylor family was in a difficult position and had no choice but to let Stella marry in place of Amelia.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked how your newlywed life is going!" Aiden laughed cheerfully, looking him up and down. "You look radiant. You're getting along well with your bride, right?" "Speaking of which, I'm your matchmaker. When will you bring your wife out to meet me?"
Liam's face darkened and he grinned. His smile was extremely awkward.
Back then, he came to this village to recuperate and happened to know that everyone in the Anderson family had died, and Liam's photo on the ID card looked very similar to him. That was how he replaced Liam.
He concealed his identity just to recuperate here and plan for a better future.
He never intended to get married!
Aiden was warmhearted, which was really irresistible sometimes...
"By the way, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Taylor family has a bad temper. Is that right?" Aiden looked at him with concern. "Well, no matter what, she is a spoiled rich girl who has been doted on since childhood. It's inevitable for her to be willful. If you can, just bear with it. Don't argue with a woman!"
"Yeah, I know," Liam responded blandly.
Although this marriage was not part of his plan, luckily, he didn't marry the eldest daughter of the Taylor family.
If he had really married Amelia, he would probably want to strangle Aiden.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and Aiden invited Liam to his house for a drink. Liam didn't know how to refuse when suddenly a few middle-aged women came running up the mountain path. "Oh, Liam, you're here. Hurry up and go home!"
"If you don't go back soon, your wife won't be able to handle it!"
The favorite pastime of older women in the village was gossiping. "Humph, if you want to blame someone, blame your pretty wife. Those men are all obsessed with her. Are you still in the mood to wander on the mountain? If you don't go back soon, something big will happen!"
Liam's expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed home.
