Chapter 24 A Lifetime
Liam was sitting on the open-air platform on the top floor of the Luxury Hotel, with a cigarette between
his fingers which was about to burn out. The water surface of the sea was sparkling in the distance.
Seabirds were circling in the sky, and the sea was dotted with white sails. It was a beautiful view.
The cell phone on the table vibrated. It was a fund transfer message of four hundred dollars.
Oliver and Caleb looked at each other with a smile, then Oliver said casually, "Noah, you are really
lucky! Stella is not only beautiful, but also willing to spend money for you, hahaha!"
"Is this the first time you spend a woman's money? Doesn't it feel good?"
Liam squinted at him and put the cell phone back to its original position calmly.
Although his face was expressionless, there was warmth in his heart.
He did not expect that Stella would really transfer the money. He calculated that there was only four
hundred dollars in her bank account.
He put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, rolled it a few times, and looked into the distance, a
complicated expression flashed between the corners of his eyes and brows.
"By the way, Noah," Caleb said in a low voice, "I checked about Rainbow Export because it's not
convenient for Oliver to do so. Ava Brown is a middle-level member of the company, and because her
uncle is a shareholder, she is often defiant. Besides, she is also..."
Caleb pondered mid-sentence whether he should tell the following part.
Liam's eyes darkened, "Tell me."
"She is also Daniel Clark's girlfriend," Caleb said with difficulty, "As for Daniel Clark, he is the head of
Stella's department. He is also her senior in college and pursued her..."
He looked at Liam's face, which was expressionless and icy. But Liam's hand on the table was tightly
clenched.
Caleb coughed lightly, "Noah, that was actually in the school days. It's not a big deal."
"Well," Liam raised his eyelids, "Did I say anything?"
Caleb laughed.
Liam indeed did not say anything, but it was more serious than if he did.
"Continue."
"Ava always finds faults with Stella at work. This is the reason why Stella didn't even get a single order
in her first month of work."
Liam's expression grew gloomier.
"What's the big deal?" Oliver waved his hand, "Brother, do you want to fix Ava Brown? Leave it to me!
While I am at it, I'll help you fix that Clark as well!"
Caleb coughed with all his strength and gave Oliver a hopeless look.
"There's no need," Liam's voice was frigid, "It's just a trivial matter. It will attract attention if we cause a
disturbance in this kind of small company. Let Stella deal with it by herself, and don't worry about her."
"Oh, yes," Caleb echoed, "I understand what you mean. There is no need to waste energy on people
like Ava Brown and Daniel Clark. At worst, let Stella resign. It's not that you can't afford her."
Liam responded with an "mmm" and poured a cup of coffee. After a moment of silence, his eyelids
moved, and the look in his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.
"Stella went out for sales today," he said lightly, then got up and left the rooftop.
Oliver looked at his back dumbfoundedly like an idiot. Caleb was smart and quickly understood the
meaning of these words.
"What's the deal?" Oliver opened his mouth wide, "This is the most annoying thing about Noah-he
doesn't make it clear!"
Caleb smiled and closed Oliver's chin which almost fell to the floor, then said lightly, "Go and check it
now!"
"Check what?"
"Check which customers is Stella visiting today for sales! Idiot!"
Oliver was clueless, "Aren't we going to leave her alone?"
Caleb rolled his eyes several times. It was really hard to talk to this kind of person!
Liam went home. Stella had not come back yet. He checked his watch. There was still some time
before she got off work.
Looking around, although Stella had been busy with work recently, the house was clean and everything
in the kitchen was in order.
He curled his lips slightly. She was so busy, but she still worked tirelessly without complaining and
provided for household expenses.
It seemed that all she said was true-she really planned to spend the rest of her life with him.
A lifetime...
Could he really promise her a lifetime?
Liam's brows were slightly knitted. He was absorbed in thought for a long while before he turned and
walked into the bathroom.
Regardless of whether they could spend the rest of their lives together or not, he decided to live their
present lives well. He remembered Stella once said that this home belonged to both of them, and as a
husband, he should share some housework.
He chuckled and looked at the laundry basket. The dirty clothes from the previous two days were still
piled up in it and there was no time to wash them.
Liam decided to wash them first. Stella would be very happy to see this when she came back.
He quickly poured out all the dirty clothes from the laundry basket, but a small white thing suddenly
sprang into view...
