Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 102 The Mysterious Beggar

Chapter 102 The Mysterious Beggar

"You, you..."

It felt like a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Stella's brain went blank in an instant as if struck by that lightning.

The beggar seemed to realize something, and after glancing at her, he made a whimpering sound and

shook his head violently. He grabbed a pile of trash and ran away desperately.

Stella tried to chase after him, but she couldn't catch up. Her face turned pale, and she gasped for

breath.

That face...

It was almost identical to Liam's!

Stella stood frozen in place, her blood rushing to her head, her hands cold and trembling.

She didn't know how she managed to walk back to the inn.

But as soon as she looked up and saw Liam, his hand on her shoulder, she instinctively took a step

back and stared at him in a daze.

"What happened?" Liam's voice was gentle and deep.

Stella snapped back to reality and took a deep breath.

The face in front of her was chiseled and clean, exuding a strong masculine aura in his eyes.

How could that beggar compare to someone like Liam?

Stella angrily pounded her head with her hand. How crazy. She must have been hallucinating just now!

"What on earth happened?" Liam asked patiently, his voice even softer than just now.

Stella curled her lips and held his hand. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Her fingertips were chillingly cold, and Liam couldn't help but worry.

"Where did you go early in the morning? This place is by the mountains and the sea, and the wind is

already strong. The climate in Emberfall is cold in the morning and evening, and hot at noon. Did you

catch a cold going out dressed so lightly, exposing yourself to the wind?"

His large hand covered her forehead, but Stella pulled it down, acting like a spoiled child.

"I'm fine. Don't worry!"

Liam quietly looked at her, his gaze slightly deep.

Stella thought about the misunderstanding she had just experienced and found it funny. She couldn't

help but smile, a soft chuckle escaping her lips.

But this smile, in Liam's eyes, made the world colorful.

"Honey." He held her shoulder, his voice low and seductive. "We agreed to go on a honeymoon, but

you left me alone in the room last night."

"What's wrong? Upset?" She looked at him like a little fox.

"I wouldn't dare." He squinted his eyes, his large hand roaming her back without restraint. "But now...

shouldn't we do something that couples on their honeymoon would do?"

"Don't be silly!" Stella punched him with a smile. "It's broad daylight, and you..."

"I never differentiate between day and night when doing things."

"Not today." Stella pushed him away. "We already had plans for today. We're going to the water park,

remember?"

Liam paused, and then he saw her take out a few tickets, all of them pre-purchased.

His face turned serious, and his expression of unsatisfied desire was exceptionally intimidating.

"Honey..." Stella hooked her hand around his neck. "I know you were upset last night, but I haven't had

a late-night chat with Mia like we used to in college for a long time. Can't you be more magnanimous?"

"Tonight then." She leaned close to his ear, her eyes shining like stars. "Tonight... I promise I won't

disappoint you!"

After saying that, her face blushed scarlet, and she lowered her head, leaning against his chest.

Liam's heart felt like a piece of marshmallow, sweet and soft, almost melting away.

"Hungry or not?" He patted her on the back. "Let's go to the restaurant for breakfast."

"Are we going to the Royal's again today?"

"Yeah... I just called the front desk, and the dining standards we've been enjoying these days are the

best!"

"Really?" Stella exclaimed excitedly, "They're having a celebration event, and we're the lucky ones!"

"Yes," Liam replied with a faint smile.

As long as he saw her happy, he was content.

"Honey, ever since I married you, my luck has skyrocketed, and everything has been going beyond my

imagination!" She stood on her tiptoes, cupped his face, and pecked his lips.

"Honey, you're truly my lucky star!"

Liam was momentarily stunned. He rubbed her nose with his fingers and chuckled.

"You go ahead and eat first." He whispered, "I'll go to the restroom and catch up with you soon."

"Oh." Stella didn't think much of it. "Then I'll go find Mia and Dr. Johnson first. Hurry up and join us!"

"Okay."

Stella bounced out of the room, and a hint of darkness flashed in Liam's eyes.

He picked up the landline on the table and dialed a few numbers. Lowering his voice, he asked, "What

happened to her this morning?"

"Mr. Martinez, Miss Taylor had been playing at the beach. We had been watching her from afar and

didn't dare to follow. But later, when she was walking back, she stopped at the trash bin on that

street..." His subordinate hesitated.

Liam growled with anger, "Tell me!"

"She encountered a beggar there."

A beggar? Liam's heart tightened. She didn't suffer any harm, did she?

"Mr. Martinez, the beggar didn't do anything to Miss Taylor, but after he walked away, she kept staring

in his direction without moving for more than ten minutes."

Maybe she was scared. That was the first thought that flashed through Liam's mind.

But he remembered when Stella married him, a few hooligans harassed her at the doorstep, and she

fought them off with a stick.

Besides, she once attended a dinner party and misunderstood Oliver's intentions, so she choked the

driver and jumped out of the car, almost killing herself.

How could such a brave and resolute woman be scared by a beggar?

There must be some other reason!

Liam narrowed his eyes, his thin lips tightly pursed and slowly relaxed. He said in a low voice,

"Coordinate with the police. Retrieve the surveillance footage from that area, and find out who that

beggar really is!"

......

A week's trip quickly came to an end.

Everyone had a great time, but once they returned to Eldoria, they had to return to their normal and

orderly lives.

It took Stella two full days to complete the piled-up work on her desk.

"It seems like one can't stop working..." She sighed as she flipped through the reports. "When I stop, all

I can think about is eating, drinking, and having fun, and work becomes boring!"

"Then let me find something exciting for you to do, okay?"

A clear voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Stella looked up and saw Annie smiling as she brought Aiden in.

"I've heard from Liam that you're busy." Aiden smirked and said, "But today, seeing you, I feel like

you're nothing like your usual self!"

"Is that so?" Stella laughed. "Then what am I like usually, and what am I like today?"

"Usually, you're all clingy with Liam, but today, you're like a successful female CEO!"

Hearing this, Stella was convulsed with laughter.

She invited Aiden to sit down and personally made coffee for him.

"Stella." Aiden looked at her. "Maybe in the future, you really will become a female CEO! You have that

kind of aura!"

"Alright, I'm embarrassed by all this praise. Female CEO or not, I'm just grateful to have a stable job for

the rest of my life!"

"Ha-ha, I almost forgot the main thing." Aiden took out a stack of photos. "I'm here to give you these

today!"

Stella was momentarily stunned. She took the photos and looked at them carefully, her eyes red

unconsciously.
