Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Back at the hotel, Ivy carefully calculated their purchases for the day. "Frank, we spent over twenty thousand dollars tonight. That's so extravagant."

Frank stepped out of the shower, wearing a bathrobe that revealed his broad chest. Ever since he'd cut his hair and shaved his beard, he looked much more handsome.

Especially now, as he walked out with such a carefree air, Ivy couldn't bring herself to look directly at him. His physique was like that of a male model from a magazine.

"If I remember correctly, you used to spend more than twenty thousand on a single coat, didn't you?"

"Frank, I told you, don't compare me to the past. I really don't care about that anymore. As long as we're together and happy, that's all that matters. I don't want to be some wasteful woman."

Frank chuckled. "You're really thinking about me that much? Then tell me, how much do you think I should have in savings?"

Ivy thought for a moment. "A few tens of thousands? You've spent years at sea, and you're not a captain. Having ten or twenty thousand saved up would already be impressive."

"Wrong."

"Then... a few hundred thousand?"

"Still wrong."

"A million?" Ivy didn't dare to guess any higher.

"Forget it. Just look for yourself." Frank handed her his phone. Every bank transaction was accompanied by a notification.

Ivy counted the digits one by one. "Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... nine million, eight hundred and sixty thousand! Frank, is this your account?"

"What else would it be?" Frank found her surprised expression adorable.
