Faux Vows, True Desires

When Stefan received the five hundred bucks rent money from his wife, he didn't refuse it, but accepted it. Soon, he sent her five grand.

And wrote: "Babe, this is your pocket money."

Lucinda: "You're really generous."

He really gave her five grand as pocket money.

Stefan quickly moved to her side, swiftly wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Darling, this is your pocket money for today. If you can't spend it all, I'll double it for you tomorrow." Lucinda thought it was a monthly allowance. Turned out it was daily.

Did she look like someone who could spend five grand a day? She didn't even make five grand a month.

Stefan seemed to see through her thoughts, gently pinched her face, and said lovingly, "Don't worry, though your husband doesn't have much, money isn't one of them. Spend it however you like." "I don't have anything special to buy."

So, she couldn't possibly use up the five grand pocket money.

"I have a gathering tomorrow night, come with me. I'll introduce you to a few friends."

His friends were all elites in society, what if she couldn't communicate with them?

Lucinda wanted to voice her concern, but thinking about his firm decision not to divorce, and that marrying him wasn't a bad deal, she decided to stick with him. She would have to adapt to his friends. Just like he was trying to adapt to hers.

"Alright."

Lucinda was no longer worried, nor scared. If people were sincere to her, she'd return the sincerity. If anyone mocked her for not being good enough for Stefan, she'd definitely retort. "Lucy, about tonight's thing..."

"Last time you took me to meet your family, I remember you said your parents went on a vacation and won't be back for another two months."

Stefan laughed, "Yes, but my grandparents are home."
