Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 18 I'll Support You for a Lifetime

"The Sales Department is one of the most important departments in the company." Ava intentionally

mocked Stella during the regular meeting. "If someone truly doesn't have the talent for sales, it's best

for her to not occupy the position and leave the opportunity for more capable people!"

"Our company is not a retirement home, and everyone should understand that. People who can't even

bring in a single order and can only rely on their basic salary should seriously consider their future!"

Stella had been lowering her head the entire afternoon. Her knitted eyebrows never relaxed.

However, when she returned home tiredly after a day's work, she saw Liam still sitting on the sofa and

looking at his phone leisurely. There was no food in the kitchen, and she didn't have a cup of water to

drink.

Stella had been upset for a whole afternoon. At that moment, she couldn't hold back her grievances

anymore.

"You... Didn't you cook?"

Liam paused, shifting his gaze away from his phone.

Stella had slightly flushed cheeks, her breathing slightly rapid, and her chest rising and falling.

Her bright and big eyes stared straight at him. Her questioning tone didn't sound angry at all, but rather

like a wife who had been wronged complaining to her husband.

Liam's heart was touched, and his gaze toward her unknowingly softened.

"What's wrong?" He stood up from the sofa, looking innocent. "Since we got married, you've always

been the one cooking, haven't you?"

Stella paused and bit her lip.

Liam's figure was imposing. Standing in front of her, he was much taller, making her less aggressive.

Besides, she was gentle and accommodating, so she couldn't truly blame Liam.

But...

"Yes, that's right." She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I have always been the one cooking, but now

I have a job. Can't you... share some of the household chores? After all, this home doesn't belong to

just me!"

"I came back late today. Even if you don't know how to cook, couldn't you at least prepare the

ingredients? Do you expect me to do everything?"

Liam squinted his eyes slightly.

Since they got married, this was the first time he had seen Stella get angry with him.

Well, it couldn't really be considered anger, just a bit of complaining. The way she looked angry but

didn't dare to lose her temper was so cute. He suddenly wanted to tease her.

"Oh." He nodded. "So are you complaining because I don't go out to work and burden you?"

"I..." Stella was taken aback and explained in a hurry, "That's not what I meant!"

He leaned in closer to examine her and smiled lightly. A hint of ambiguity flashed through his deep

eyes, unnoticed even by himself.

"Then what did you mean?"

"Liam." She took a deep breath and looked at him seriously. "Since I married you, I've made up my

mind to spend my life with you. You're my husband. How could I possibly complain about you?"

"Even if you don't go out to work for a lifetime, I can support you." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Her voice grew softer as she spoke, and then she began worrying whether speaking like this would hurt

his self-esteem or not.

Men, after all, cared about their self-esteem more than anything else, especially someone like him with

a bit of a "criminal record". He probably didn't like it when someone brought up these things.

"What did you say?" Liam's mouth tilted downward as he tried not to let her see that he wanted to

laugh. "You... support me?"

"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

Liam met her gaze. Her beautiful big eyes were as clear as crystals, causing his heart to tremble

involuntarily.

"Traditionally, the man works outside and the woman takes care of the household." Stella closely

reasoned. "But it's not a feudal society anymore. Women can also go out to work, and it doesn't matter

who supports the family, right? However, we should contribute to our family together. With a united

heart, the benefits will be immeasurable!"

Liam was stunned and then chuckled.

Stella just appeared gentle on the surface, and she was actually more assertive than anyone else.

However, he had never heard of a woman supporting a man.

Since she said that, he would just go along with it.

Liam's smile grew even wider, which seemed a bit strange to Stella.

"Are you... okay?" Stella stared at him without blinking.

"I'm fine." Liam returned to his usual coldness, his face expressionless as he coughed twice. "Since

there's no food at home, let's go out to eat!"

Stella widened her eyes and looked at him.

Did he have X-ray vision and know that she had received her salary today?
