Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 43 Warming Her Belly

However, Caleb couldn't help him this time.

"Could it be... that the secret formula you gave him last time didn't work?"

Oliver patted his head. "Could it be that Stella wasn't turned on?"

Caleb forced a smile. "Perhaps she was too sexually aroused and disrupted Noah's hormonal balance!"

Oliver almost sprayed his drink on his face.

Liam opened the balcony door and entered the room, only to meet Stella's slightly surprised gaze.

"What's wrong?" he asked calmly.

"Did you just make a phone call?"

"Yeah, it was from... my former cellmate." Liam replied blandly, "He was released and borrowed money from me, but I told him not to contact me anymore."

"Oh." Stella nodded. "No wonder you shouted so loudly just now. It felt like the entire building was about to collapse! But you did the right thing. If possible, don't contact those people anymore. After all, you're a married man, and we have to live a good life in the future."

Liam's heart was touched.

But when she said these words, her eyes were still fixed on the computer.

Thinking that Oliver's photo was on the screen, he felt extremely unhappy.

Stella looked at it for a long time, rubbed her eyes, and her lower abdomen started to ache again. She was looking around for painkillers when Liam suddenly strode over and slammed her laptop shut. Stella was taken aback and stared at him with her eyes wide open. "What are you doing? I still need to read the document!"

His face darkened. "What's the point of reading it?"

"This... is a client. I need to familiarize myself with his lifestyle and hobbies first, and then..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liam packed up his own pillow and quilt and carried them into the bedroom, neatly laying them on the other half of the bed.

Stella's heart skipped a beat. Her face slightly flushed as she asked him softly, "What are you doing?"

With a cold expression, Liam said stiffly, "Sleeping."

Stella blushed scarlet, stood nervously at the doorway of the bedroom, and uneasily tugged at her clothes with her hands.

"Not today..." Her voice was barely audible.

Liam furrowed his brows. "What?"

Stella stamped her foot in embarrassment. "Well... We can't have sex!"

He looked at her blushing face and finally realized that she misunderstood what he meant by sleeping.

Liam reached out his big hand and directly pulled her over, holding her in his arms. The two of them fell onto the bed, and then he hugged her from behind. Stella's body stiffened when she felt his hand sliding down and reaching her lower abdomen...

She was about to stop him, but his hand stopped, rubbing her lower abdomen gently.

His palm was warm, and he hugged her entire body from behind. The heat eased the pain in her lower abdomen.

Stella felt much more comfortable. At this moment, she heard his low and magnetic voice in her ear, "I know you have a period, and I won't do anything else!"

Stella smiled, feeling so sweet in her heart.

"Is your lower abdomen feeling better?"

"Yeah."

"If it hurts a lot in the future, don't take painkillers." He spoke softly, "I'll warm you with my hands. It's better than taking medicine."

Stella nodded and snuggled in his arms, her soft hair brushing against his Adam's apple, causing his throat to tighten and his lips to become slightly dry.

He could always smell the scent on her body.

Liam fiercely bit his lip.

Only this kind of pain could temporarily keep him clear-headed and rational.

Stella had no idea about the torment he was experiencing at the moment. She only felt the warmth enveloping her body. Her lower abdomen no longer hurt, and she felt much more relaxed. She smiled. When she married Liam, she had no choice but to take a gamble and put her future happiness on the line.

She didn't expect to win the gamble and have such a good husband.

But if she hadn't married him as a substitute bride, this warmth would have belonged to Amelia, and the one lying in Liam's arms should have been Amelia now...

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt so sad in her heart.

"Liam." She whispered, "Can I ask you something?"

Liam paused for a moment. "What is it?"

"If..." She turned around and looked at him. "One day you find out that I lied to you or did something you can't accept, would you forgive me?"
