Chapter 78 - Nothing Is More Important (2/2)

Stella could only pinch the space between her eyebrows. 'I told him not to bid. Does he even listen to me, like ever?' She could have smacked him hard on his chest already if it wasn't for all these people around them.

She grabbed two wine glasses from the waiter who was passing by her and gulped both of them down in one go.

Adam looked at her as he heaved out a tired sigh. He knew he was going to get scolded later on. But he wasn't worried about that. He was more worried about her getting angry with him. 'What if she stop talking to me?' Even the thought itself was scaring him.

”Stella?” He softly called her name.

”Can we talk somewhere private?” Stella asked him.

”Yeah, s-sure.” He stammered.

Adam guided her out of the hall as everyone else was waiting for the dinner to start.

”What is it?” Adam asked her, testing the waters. 'You are in deep trouble man.'

”I stopped you, didn't I?” Stella asked him gritting her teeth.

”But---” Adam spoke up but she interrupted him.

”Yes or no?.” Stella narrowed her eyes at him.

”Yes.” Adam replied. ”At least listen to me.” Adam said holding her shoulders. He continued when he didn't get a response from her. ”That belongs to you. How could I just sit and watch someone else snatch it away?”

He brought her closer to him and placed a lingering kiss on the crown of her head. He could feel her body relax in his embrace.

”But you didn't have to spend so much money on it or me.” Stella replied in a soft voice as she wrapped her arms his broad back.

”Nothing is more important to me than you.” Adam added as he rubbed her back trying to comfort her. ”That amount of money doesn't even cause a dent in my bank account sweetheart. And it was for a good cause.” He continued.

”I remember my parents being rich, but that was it. They were just rich, not over the top ones. We were living a simple life. They would give into my wishes but not that much. But this is just too much too wrap my head around.” Stella finally spoke her thoughts out loud.

”We will worry about it some other time. I promise to look into the matter baby girl. Don't stress yourself out.” Adam tried to calm his girl. He could feel her tremble in between his arms as she was talking about the past. ”The good news is that you have your family heirloom now.”

”It's yours. You paid for it.” Stella gave him a curt reply.

”What's mine is yours.” Adam added as he flicked her forehead.
