Chapter 211: Change In Scenery Change In Heart
"You’ve gone silent," Rory told Liam as he was staring at his hand.
She wondered if he was still thinking about the investment she made.
"Nothing," Looked at his phone. He smacked his lips. "I was wondering when I started to stop listening to you speak..." he let out a deep sigh.
"It’s fine. I did turn into a nagging wife by the time you had stopped listening to me," Rory accepted her fault. "Back then you were worried for your future...OUR future but I was so sure I should study law. You must have been so stressed thinking of ways to run our family while I was so dependent on the money my parents left me. I was under the impression that you too have it easy..."
"You were always thinking that it was OUR money, weren’t you?" Liam asked. He didn’t know if they had talked about their financials that much. But she never made him feel insecure about being poorer than her.
He did that to himself.
"Well, I did," Rory shrugged. "But I didn’t take to account that you as a man would want to stand on your own feet and provide for your family. I don’t want us to have a wealthy lifestyle. I can be happy with a simpler life too... So don’t stress yourself much. And you don’t have to make me an empress. I’d love you no matter what," she said. She wanted to make that point across.
"No..." Liam plopped on the bed on his back. His fringes fell messily on his forehead, and he ran his fingers through them to set them back.
Rory smiled. What a sight to behold!
"I was wrong to not accept your money purely out of pride. I could accept Len- that guy’s money but avoid you. It was plain stupidity. Once I got to the world, I understood that money is very important. So are connections. It would be foolish of me to not use what you are offering me. In the end, it’s for us. It’s for our family, for our children. It’s not just about me or just about you. It’s about us along with that. We forgot to find that middle ground in the past. I think that’s what we should focus on moving forward. What do you think?" Liam asked.
Rory smiled rubbing her chest. She was beyond happy to hear him say that. "Me too..." she said. She was lost for words. She was feeling so warm in her heart. It was as if she was falling in love all over again.
Falling in love... How did it feel back then?
