Chapter 440

Chapter 440:

Despite her encouragement, Roderick hesitated, his eyes still scanning the menu for the least expensive items.

Eileen took the menu from him and handed it to the waiter, ordering several of the restaurant’s signature dishes.

“How’s everything else going? Is work too demanding? Have you managed to save up for your restaurant?” Eileen inquired, shifting the conversation to his aspirations.

“Yeah, I’ve been saving,” Roderick replied with cautious optimism. “I send $8,000 a month to Judie, and $1,500 to my mom. With Judie’s income, we manage our living expenses and still save about $10,000 a month. Plus, with the $100,000 you helped us with, I should be able to open a restaurant in a couple of years.”

Hearing his hopeful plans, Eileen felt a pang of sympathy for the prolonged effort Roderick would have to endure.
