Chapter 509

James watched as Sophie looped her arm through his, then naturally followed her to the dining table and addressed Bea, “Sophie’s right. Grandma, you should consider moving back to your place. This house is small, and if Sophie decides to move back in, it would be inconvenient for you to be still here.”

Bea’s aged face struggled to hide her displeasure at her grandson siding so staunchly with his wife.

However, James had already explained the stakes of their marriage to her the day before. Rather than seeing James marry the woman responsible for the death of her great–grandson, she preferred to see him reconcile with Sophie.

After all, Russell Enterprise had gone bankrupt, making Sophie, with no power, influence, or background, much easier for her to control. “Your return isn’t something I welcomed with open arms, but since James is willing to rekindle his relationship with you, it’s not my place to interfere too much. I just hope you can live well together without causing any scandals that would tamish the Burke family’s reputation.”

While saying this, Ben added, “Also, your job probably doesn’t pay much. James and I have discussed providing you with an allowance so you can focus on staying home without having to work so hard. Since you two are truly in love, you might as well start a family soon. That would surely stabilize your mariage.”

After finishing. Bea cast a significant glance at Sophie. She was certain that Sophie’s job at Magnatic Enterprises didn’t pay more than a few thousand dollars a month. That amount was hardly sufficient for someone who used to live a lavish lifestyle.

If one wished to be a wealthy housewife, one must understand the sacrifices involved.

Sophie smiled and asked, “Grandma Bea, how much were you planning to give me?”

“Five hundred thousand dollars a month. You won’t need to go out, and that should be enough”
