"Well, I don't usually do this to women, so you'd better not mess with my woman again, understand?" Liam Williams's face was completely devoid of a smile as he spoke, his eyes burning with a chilling fury.
Isabella Miller was terrified. She could only nod, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing her agreement, Liam released her and turned his gaze to Emma Johnson behind him. A flicker of displeasure crossed his face. If he had been even a moment later, this foolish woman would have suffered.
Emma Johnson, "..."
To be honest, she was stunned. How did Liam just descend from the sky like that? A hero saving the damsel in distress?
If he hadn't shown up in time, she wouldn't have been able to beat Isabella. Her left foot had been completely immobile just moments ago.
Although her heart was overjoyed, her mouth still complained, "Didn't you say half an hour? How long has it been? Is the Grand President of Pinnacle Corporation always this unpunctual?"
After finishing, she pretended to be angry, turning her head away and pouting fiercely.
Liam wasn't angry. This girl could be so fierce even when she was being coquettish. No wonder she had just slapped someone else. This was exactly the kind of woman fit for him.
Clearly, Liam had witnessed everything that had just happened.
He had also probably guessed that this woman was Emma's cousin, Isabella Miller.
But he hadn't expected them to be fighting over a man.
"I'm not that important, but I do have a good temper. Let's go home and have dinner." Liam reached out and ruffled her hair, the anger on his face vanishing.
Because of the commotion, the cafe had suddenly become surrounded by a crowd. The customers and waitstaff all watched the scene, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor.
They had initially thought it was just a fight between a mistress and a wife, but now, a big president had parachuted in, and a huge, earth-shattering headline had broken out!
How could Liam Williams be married?
Emma saw Liam holding her hand, ready to move forward. She felt embarrassed and remained rooted to the spot. "Liam, can you help me? I hurt my foot."
Everyone, "..." How dare she make such a request to Liam?
When Liam heard her innocent voice, he frowned deeply. Without a word, he turned around, scooped Emma up in his arms, and walked out.
In full view of everyone, he carried Emma out of the coffee shop.
Well, it wasn't just a helping hand. It was a full-on hug. Hello?
It was the first time Emma had felt so embarrassed in front of so many people. Her face flushed bright red, and she desperately wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Isabella Miller was truly furious and annoyed. How could this be?
Was Liam Williams the same man she had seen fighting with Noah Taylor downstairs last night?
So, they not only lived together but were also married?
She didn't know what kind of fox-like charm Emma had used, not only making Noah unable to let go but also making Liam protect her like this?
Isabella snorted coldly and left the cafe in her high heels.
Liam's car was parked right at the door. After he picked Emma up and thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt, he ordered fiercely, "Remember to call me if you ever get into trouble in the future. Your husband isn't a decoration. Let me handle these things, understand?"
Emma nodded cleverly. Her eyes darted around, secretly glancing at him. The wound on his forehead hadn't disappeared yet, and neither had the one at the corner of his mouth.
Well, they were both wounded. It was more fitting to describe them as a couple in need.
Emma was captivated by his sharply defined features. She didn't notice Liam's reaction for a long time. Finally, she snapped back to reality and said, "Oh, I know. Shall we go to dinner now?"
Liam held the steering wheel with one hand and rubbed his forehead with the other. Is this really the time for that? Still thinking about eating?
Sure enough, ordinary people couldn't understand the world of a foodie. "Let's go to the hospital first. Your foot injury isn't light. If we delay, it could become serious."
"No, it's just a sprain. I can just rub some medicine on it. My mother always said that no matter what, we have to fill our stomachs first. So, let's eat first."
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. This little injury wasn't going to stop her from eating, right.
Just rub some medicine on it?
After hearing this, Liam's mouth twitched. So this was Emma's attitude towards minor injuries and pains?
"Then we'll go to the hospital after dinner." Liam said faintly. "The Waterfront, right? I've heard the food there is good. Have you eaten there?"
"Yeah, I go there often. The owner is my college classmate. Um, but, Liam, can you let me walk by myself? I don't want to be the center of attention again. Your identity as the president of Pinnacle Corporation puts a lot of pressure on me..." Emma thought of the way people in the coffee shop had looked at her, as if she had committed some terrible crime.
Was it a crime to have married such a wealthy man? Those envious and jealous looks made it seem like she had married the president of the country.
"Can you walk like this?"
"Why don't you just help me? Also, when you see Mia, the owner of The Waterfront, don't talk nonsense or act too intimately with me. I don't want everyone there to know about our marriage."
This kind of thing needed to be clarified in advance. Otherwise, Liam might do something to stir up the audience, and what would she do then?
"You're my wife, and I can't hold you? I can't get close to you? Besides, even if they don't know about our marriage today, I believe it will be all over the newspapers and news by tomorrow morning. How long can you hide it?" Liam drove the car, looking straight ahead, speaking without turning his head.
He was afraid that such important news couldn't be hidden. Although Liam wasn't a big star, he was far more famous in Silverdale than those actors and celebrities who relied solely on their looks.
After hearing what he said, the only thought in Emma's mind was that once the news came out... the entire magazine would probably explode tomorrow.
This morning, she had confidently told Ava that Liam was just her ordinary friend, that's all...
Wasn't that like lifting a rock and dropping it on her own foot?
Alas... Let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, hadn't this life made enough fun of her?
It was just that when they were eating at The Waterfront, Mia wasn't in the shop. Of course, Liam didn't get to see the legendary boss, but it made Emma feel relieved. She didn't know how long she could keep this sudden marriage going!
