Chapter 32 - Why Did You Lie To Me? (2/2)

Stella raised her eyes to look at him. ”Where?” She asked with confusion.

”I will show you around.” He replied only to get a nod from her.

After getting done with their breakfast, they made a tour of the house with Adam leading the way.

Stella was utterly awestruck by the interior of the place. Even though the place was huge but it still had a cozy and warm touch to it.

Adam would look at her every now and then, looking at her mesmerized expressions. 'She looks so adorable with those hazel eyes almost popping out.'

”Who's the interior designer and architect of this place? I am definitely going to hire them to build my house in the future.” He heard her speaking out of nowhere, breaking the silence as they were headed to the front garden.

”I am sorry to say but that's not possible because they are long dead.” Adam chuckled. ”My grandfather was the one who built the place actually, he himself was the architecture. Later on Dad made some changes to the theme and stuff. So, you can say that he was sort of the interior designer of the place.” He continued.

”I am sorry.” Stella said realizing she shouldn't have said it.

”Why are you being sorry silly girl?” Adam knocked on her forehead.

She shook her head sideways giving him a sincere smile, ”I am glad you didn't do anything to the place. Otherwise, it would have looked boring and dull just like your office.”

”Whatever.” Adam rolled his eyes at her. 'My choice isn't that bad.' He thought.

”Feel free to use the place just like your own.” Adam said looking at the water fountain in the front porch. They were now seated on a bench in the garden, next to each other.

”Thank you.” Stella thanked him only to get a scoff from him which she ignored. She was really thankful to him. No one has treated her this good after her parents.

”Adam?” She spoke turning her head to her side, looking at him.

Adam shifted his eyes to her, ”Yes, Stella?”

Stella looked at him for a while, deciding to finally ask him what she had wanted to since last night, she spoke slowly, ”Why did you lie to me?”

Adam furrowed his brows at her question. ”What? About what?” He was confused completely. He couldn't remember lying to her about anything so far.

Stella was quiet, gazing into those deep gray eyes which somehow made her feel safe. She finally opened her mouth after a minute or so which felt like an eternity to Adam. ”Why did you lie to me about where you live?”
