“There’s 3,000 dollars in the card. It’s for our household expenses this month.”

Although Leslie had signed a cohabitation agreement, he didn’t want to take advantage of a woman. He could still afford the household expenses.

“3,000? For household expenses?” Aurelia was surprised and looked at Leslie.

“Which ordinary family spends 3,000 a month just on living expenses? Nowadays, some ordinary people don’t even earn 3,000 a month,” she thought.

“Is there a problem?” Leslie frowned. He thought Aurelia found the amount too little.

Aurelia thought for a moment. She felt that since Leslie had brought it up, she needed to make some things clear for their future life together.

“Mr. Synder, our cohabitation agreement states that we live together as a married couple until our marriage ends. So, I think I need to know how much my husband earns each month.”

“Around 3,000,” Leslie casually said, quoting the salary of an average company employee.

“Is this house fully paid or on a mortgage?” Aurelia looked around.

Leslie’s expression darkened. He felt she was pushing her luck. “Mortgage. The monthly payment is around 1,300 dollars.”
