Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 259

After being driven out, Simon went to look for Helena.

They were still living in a rental house. Most of the money from the shares Janice had given him had already been invested in his new company.

Seeing him return, Helena started grumbling non-stop, "Simon, didn't Janice give you money before? Why don't you buy a house for us to live in? We can't stay in a rental forever. The high-rise buildings outside block out all the sunlight. It's so uncomfortable."

Sarah chimed in as well, "That's right, Simon. Even if you don't buy a villa, a spacious apartment would do. Or maybe we can book a hotel suite. It wouldn't cost much for a whole year, and there would be staff to clean up every day. Wouldn't that be much better?"

Simon sat down, his gaze dark as he scanned the dining table. It was covered with takeout bags from high-end restaurants. Instantly, he felt annoyed.

"You never cook at home anymore?"

He suddenly grabbed a paper bag. "This restaurant charges at least two to three hundred for a single dish. You ordered four dishes in one go? That's almost a thousand dollars for one meal!"

Hearing that, Helena and Sarah looked confused.

"Simon, we're not bankrupt. We can still afford this. I know your business hasn't been going well lately, but you can't expect me and your sister to suffer because of it. It's just food," Helena muttered, her voice growing smaller toward the end.

The anger in Simon's chest was about to choke him. "Suffer? Do you realize the situation we're in? You're still living like royalty while I'm one step away from begging on the streets."
