Liam sneered and asked Sherah and Qemal to leave. In a frosty tone, he said, "This is the last time I'm telling you—I won't leave Celena nor will I divorce her. If you have anything else to say, please get out. It's time for the three of us to have our breakfast."His tone was so cold. He was implying that he did not prepare breakfast for the two of them, so they should just get the hell out of there. His attitude was extremely terrible.Sure enough, Sherah's face turned sullen as soon as he said that. Her eyes were burning with rage as she glared at Liam.Qemal stood up from the cough and glared at Liam as well.Celena quickly put Jovie down and tugged at Liam's arms as she whispered, "Liam, she's my mother, after all. You should be a little more polite when talking to her. Otherwise, it won't look good on you as well if other people find out."Liam turned back and saw Celena looking troubled, so he had no choice but to nod, saying nothing else.However, Sherah did not plan to l
She would say Liam and Mr. Miller had nothing to do with each other at all.Mr. Miller had a striking and distinguished status. He was exuding elegance from his core with every move he made.Liam was great to her. He cared for her and protected her at every turn. He helped her plenty of times as well when she was in trouble.However, what Sherah said was indeed true.Liam was just a common folk. He had no money and no power.Celena's head was in a mess. All the nonsensical thoughts were running through her mind, and she felt that her head was about to explode. She quickly shook her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about it.Before she realized it, Liam was already sitting next to her. He wrapped his fingers around her hand, looking at her gently and saying with a slight concern, "What's the matter? Does your head hurt? Do you want me to rub your head for you?"It was only then Celena regained her senses. She saw Liam holding her hand, sitting so close to her. Then, she
Jovie counted on her fingers, naming a long list of delicious food. Her soulful eyes were twinkling and gazing around, especially when she mentioned her favorite food, which looked incredibly adorable.Liam picked Jovie up in his arms and rubbed his nose against hers. Then, he said with a smile, "Alright, alright. I'll get you all the delicious food when we're out later, alright?"Celena could not help but roll her eyes at Liam and grumbled, "You're spoiling her. Those are all sweets. She'll suffer when her teeth are rotten. I'm going to get changed."Celena walked straight to the bedroom upon saying that.Jovie chuckled in Liam's arms while Liam said to Celena's back proudly, "There's nothing to be afraid of! Jovie won't ever get a rotten tooth."Both the father and daughter made a silly face at Celena's back at the same time and burst out laughing.Soon, Celena was done changing and walked back out. She was dressed in a beige shirt with fitting light blue jeans, which accentuat
Liam was happy to see Celena happy. He just carried on shopping with Celena while carrying Jovie in his arms without any complaints.Suddenly, Celena was attracted by the style of the jewelry in the window when they walked past a jewelry store. She glanced around and took a fancy to a bracelet with a simple and elegant design.Seeing that she liked it very much, Liam asked her to try it on. It was truly a style that suited Celena very well. The simplistic and graceful design made Celena's wrist fair and slender.Celena was even more in love with it after she tried it on, but her heart broke when she saw the price of the bracelet. It was more than 8000 dollars. She immediately took off the bracelet and grabbed Liam, wanting to leave.Just as Liam was about to ask why Celena wanted to leave, they heard a woman's sharp voice coming from behind them."Hey! Celena? Is that you?" said the woman.Both Celena and Liam looked back at the same time and saw a woman in a tight and sexy dress
Madeline looked at Celena again, looking proud. "Celena, this is my sponsor—Marvin Stewart. He's the president of the Stewart Group in Drunham City. You've heard of Stewart Snacks, right? That's his company."Madeline was filled with pride as she said that. It was as if the company was hers.Marvin was all smiles as he looked at Celena with a lustful gaze. He extended his plump hand and said while pretending to be humble, "Hello, Ms. Stone."Celena was made uncomfortable because of Marvin's gaze. Looking reluctant, she slowly extended her fair and delicate hand.The urge in Marvin's eyes grew stronger once he saw that. He could not help but wonder how it would feel to hold her hand.However, just as their hands were about to touch, another hand chimed in and held Marvin's.Marvin was stunned. He looked up at the owner of the hand, and his expression turned sour.Marvin looked at Liam and asked in a deep voice, "You are?"Seeing that, Celena pulled her hand back and explained, "
When Marvin and Madeline walked over earlier, Celena seemed to be trying on a bracelet. She looked like she loved the bracelet very much, but she did not get it in the end.Marvin looked at Liam, who was standing next to Celena and dressed in ordinary clothes. He was a man who could not afford to get his wife a bracelet that she liked. What was the point of having a man like him?Thinking of that filled Marvin's eyes with disdain as he looked at Liam.In any case, Marvin took a fancy to Celena. Liam looked like a poor man, so Marvin did not take him seriously at all.Celena was frightened by Marvin's gaze, so she grabbed Liam's arm and took a couple of steps back.Madeline, on the other hand, was filled with excitement. She hugged and kissed Marvin happily, and then she ran toward the counter of the jewelry store to start picking out something.Madeline wanted to get a new necklace, so as soon as she got to the counter, she pointed at a few diamond necklaces and said, "Let me try
Celena was truly infuriated.She had a feeling earlier that the way Marvin looked at her was strange. She did not expect that he would have such a nasty thought.Did he think that all the women in the world were materialistic? Celena glared at Marvin angrily, and then she grabbed Liam's arm, wanting to leave.However, Marvin still refused to back down. He took a step forward and continued, "Ms. Stone, what are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"Marvin saw that was still burning with anger after he said that. He put his hand on his bulging belly and said with a smile, "Ms. Stone, it's a misunderstanding. I know what I said earlier was a little inappropriate. I apologize."How about this? I'll buy you the bracelet you were looking at earlier. Just take it that it's a gift from me. What do you think?"Marvin said he was sorry, but he did not look apologetic at all. He was still surveying Celena's body with a lustful gaze.Celena was an easygoing person
Celena did not expect Marvin would be so shameless and say such an outrageous thing, so much so that she almost blew her lid.Celena looked sullen and was shaking all over because of the rage she felt.At that moment, Liam, who stood quietly next to Celena, suddenly asked, "Can't afford it? How do you know I can't afford to give her a gift?"Marvin was surprised that Liam would have the guts to fight back. He was stunned at first, then a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. He looked at Liam viciously and said, "Hmph! How interesting! You sound like you want to compete with me. "I'm fine with anything. If a competition is what you want, I don't mind it." Liam replied calmly.Marvin was so pissed off that he laughed upon hearing that. "You're quite a bold one, aren't you? I'm not as rich as those eminent families in Drunham City, and I can't compete with those powerful companies, but I'm not doing too badly myself."With the company and those factories under my name combined, m
