Chapter 147 - I Dont Know How To Cook (1/2)

”Why do guys always end up coming late?” Liam threw a glare towards the couple as they walked towards him hand in hand.

”There are barely any people here.” Adam looked around the quiet hall as a soft piano melody buzzed in the background.

”You should be the first one to arrive.” Liam scoffed.

”Stop being so childish, it doesn't look good on you.” Adam reprimanded him. ”I needed to take care of something before coming here, so we got late, a bit late.” He continued.

Stella looked their interlaced fingers and guilt filled her heart. They got late because of her. She took her own time to take a bath and then in getting ready. When she came out after getting all dolled up, Adam was sitting leisurely in the living room, looking all handsome and charming as usual.

She looked up at him only to find him already looking down at her. She mouthed him a thank you which was returned with a wink and a wide goofy grin.

There was no way he would let his girl to be held responsible for getting late before others, even if it was Uncle Liam. Only he was allowed to bully his baby girl about that.

”You look good Uncle Liam.” Stella stepped forward and hugged him by his waist.

”Not more than you sweety.” He hugged her back.

”What about me? Who's going to praise me?” Adam complained as he stood by the sidelines.

”One has to look good in order to be praised.” Liam added as he let go of Stella. His reply made her laugh as she stepped back to be by Adam's side.

”You always look good to me.” She murmured, wrapping her hands around his arm.

”It's too late now. You are going to be punished thoroughly once we go back home.” He leaned his face in and murmured next to her ear keeping his voice as low as he could.

Stella's face turned a deep shade of red when she heard his threat. She smacked him on his chest lightly, making him chuckle.

”You guys carry on, I have to welcome some guests.” Liam interrupted and as he looked at the entrance of the banquet before walking away.

”Where are the others?” Stella asked him as her eyes wandered around.

”They will be here in a while I think.” Adam pulled her closer to himself.

”Come with me, I need to show you something.” Adam muttered before dragging her out of the banquet.

The banquet was arranged in the garden behind the mention. One could see a number of cars on one side of the banquet while the backside was set up for the catering.

He dragged Stella to that backdoor of mansion but didn't stop there. He continued walking ahead and stopped before another wooden door. He tried turning the knob but it was locked.

”Damn it!” He cursed before looking around to see if anyone was there or not. Stella thought that he might be looking for some maid or servant to ask them about the keys, but what he did next, shocked her to her core.

”I am going to need this.” He pulled out a hair pin from Stella's hair which was holding up her hair from one side.
