Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 50 Acting Strangely Since Meeting Stella

At the penthouse of the Luxury Hotel, Liam lay half-reclined on a wide lounge chair.

The weather wasn't good today. There was a heavy fog in the distant sea, and it was just like the gloom in his heart.

"Are you not interested in Mr. Noah Martinez?"

"If he takes a fancy to you, won't you be able to ascend to heaven in one step?"

Liam's fingers tightened around the stem of his wine glass, his knuckles turning white.

He had meant to joke with her, but he hadn't expected such a big reaction from the little woman. These past few days, she not only refused to let him into her bedroom but also treated him with icy politeness. She still cooked meals and cleaned the house as usual, but she maintained a cold and polite distance from him.

This atmosphere made Liam, who was usually calm and composed, feel almost suffocated and crazed.

If only time could flow backward, he would strangle that loose-tongued self of his.

A helicopter slowly landed on a nearby helipad. The airflow from its propellers blew Liam's hair into disarray and lifted a corner of his shirt.

Oliver got off in high spirits. At the sight of the man on the terrace, he rushed up.

As he got closer, he noticed Liam's sullen face.

The white truffles and caviar he had ordered for Liam were untouched.

Learning his lesson, Oliver sat down opposite Liam without saying a word. With his eyes fixed on Caleb, he hoped to get some clues.

But Caleb couldn't fathom Liam's thoughts either. He just sat there, quietly drinking coffee and reading documents.

Unable to stand the oppressive and eerie atmosphere any longer, Oliver laughed awkwardly and tried to make conversation. "Well... Noah... I showed your wife's sales plan to several directors under me. They all praised it highly and said it was very professional. Ha-ha, they even said that the person who made this plan is talented, and they want to poach her."

He thought the news would delight Liam.

But it only made his face darken further, and he looked askance at Oliver.

Oliver's heart rose into his throat and thumped wildly.

"Uh... My special assistants said that this cooperation could be discussed. It happens that the people of Rainbow Export want to meet me in person. Should I go? What do you think?"

"This is your company's business. Why do you ask me?" Liam said indifferently.

Oliver was baffled again.

"Was it you who arranged for Stella to go to the party at Evergreen Manor?" Liam asked.

"Yes," Oliver said, confused, "I did what you asked me to do. I prevented those people from the Taylor family from pestering her and invited her in to eat. To avoid your meeting, I arranged for her to stay in a room."

"Since you had arranged everything, why didn't you arrange for a stylist to dress her up and attend the party?" Liam grunted.

"But then wouldn't your identity be exposed?"

"She'll know sooner or later! It doesn't make any difference."

Oliver licked his lips, looking confused.

That was not what he had said before. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"You can't even handle a small matter! You're useless!" Liam suddenly stood up, glared at him, and strode away.

Oliver was dazed for a long time until Liam's figure disappeared. Then he looked blankly at Caleb, who also had a bewildered expression on his face.

"What's going on with him? Is he having another hormonal imbalance?"

Caleb pursed his lips and chuckled without speaking.

"Is this guy really neurotic?" Oliver shrugged helplessly. "He keeps changing his mind! He's not normal at all!"

Caleb looked at him meaningfully. "There hasn't been a day he acts normally since he met Stella."

Stella stared at the computer screen all day without typing a single word.

Even when Annie called her, it took her a while to come back to her senses.

"What's wrong?" Annie looked at her while packing her backpack. "Our shift is over. Why are you still sitting there?"

Stella looked somewhat dazed and suddenly looked up. Indeed, everyone in the office had left, leaving only her and Annie.

Annie had turned off her computer and was ready to leave.

"Stella, I see that you haven't been in a good state these past few days." She asked with concern. "Did something happen? Did you fight with your husband?"

"No." Stella forced a smile and said, "Just a little misunderstanding."

"Clear it then!" Annie laughed. "I often hear my mother say that when couples are together, they often quarrel and make up, and their bonds get even stronger. It is quite normal." Stella was stunned for a moment before laughing awkwardly.

She was married but remained a virgin. So, it was not normal at all.

Her brow wrinkled at the thought.

Was it because of something else that Liam had made such a remark that day? It had been a while since they got married, and no normal man would be able to bear it.

So, he suspected her, brought up Mr. Noah Martinez all of a sudden, and talked about ascending to heaven in one step.

Stella bit her lip lightly, feeling a sense of guilt in her heart that dispelled the disappointment and grievances of the past few days.

In fact, she was also responsible for not fulfilling her duties as a wife.

Should she...

Her face flushed, and her heart skipped a few beats. Just as she was about to leave work, she suddenly saw Daniel coming her way. "Stella, stay for a moment!"
