LOVELY MARRIAGE

Chapter 53: I'll Take This Money

[ THIS STORY DOESN'T BELONGS TO ME CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL AUTHOR ]

Lisa did not even look at the card and asked directly, “So, you’re saying that I can’t even support my woman?”

He was curious. The Kim family was reputable, after all. He did not know where they had heard the news that his family was in a bad state, which made them anxious to cancel their daughter’s engagement with him. Regardless, it had saved him a lot of trouble.

But even Jennie thought that he was poor?

Was it because this small villa they were living in was not luxurious enough, or was it because of other reasons?

Was he too low-profile?

Jennie did not look up at Lisa. She raised the card with her small hand and said softly, “Although it’s not much, it should be able to handle the urgent situation.” She was really grateful for Lisa’s help. Otherwise, she would really have had no way out and would have felt like she had nothing to live for after getting betrayed by her family.

Although they were contractual husband and wife, since the two of them had already registered their marriage, she hoped to at least abide by the contract till the end.

“As you know, I only have three years. When I die, the money will fall into the hands of some disgusting people. I might as well give it to you.”

At the thought that she only had three years left, Jennie could not help but feel sad.

She had always remembered the doctor’s words and was already mentally prepared. However, knowing that she was in the critical fourth stage was really uncomfortable. It was as if she was walking to death every day.

One of the greatest pains in one’s life was knowing that one was walking toward death but being unable to stop it.

Lisa was actually more concerned about her health than Jennie. He could almost recite Gu Yunsheng’s medical advice.

If it were not for Kai and Krystal deliberately hiding the truth, perhaps Jennie’s health would not have ended up in such a bad state.

Hence, no matter how tempted he was, he did not dare to let his emotions loose.

However, sometimes, emotions could overpower one’s rationale.

Even though he kept reminding himself, he would fail to control himself at times.

This was the dilemma Lisa was facing.

Lisa reached out to ruffle Jennie’s hair, then hugged her in his arms again and patted her back.

Although Jennie did not say it directly, he knew everything that he needed to know and understood her thoughts.

Jennie felt Lisa’s comfort. She understood that this was not love. This was perhaps just the pity the strong had for the weak.

“How much is inside?”

Lisa took the card from Jennie and asked casually.

Jennie said a little embarrassedly, “Not much, just a little more than ten million! If you use it well, it should be enough for you to start anew!”

Ten million was indeed not much. After selling the villa and adding the company’s salary and dividends from the past few years, they only amounted to this much.

Compared to those second-generation heirs who easily spent millions or tens of millions, Jennie, the former manager of the company, was indeed not doing too well.

However, the money in this card wasn’t all that she had. She had left herself a sum of money that was enough for three years.

After experiencing her family’s betrayal, leaving a backup plan for herself was a lesson that was engraved in her bones. It was now very difficult for her to be honest with others and not hold anything back.

“Ten million!”

This sum of money was definitely worth much more than the things he sent over today.

The value of those things was only one-tenth of the amount in this card.

From the looks of it, the real reason why she gave him this card was not to compensate for the money, but because she truly felt that he was short on money now. She planned to use the money to let him make a comeback and start over.

‘What a silly and cute girl!’

“Alright, I’ll accept the money!”

Lisa took the card calmly. This sum of money was insignificant to him, but to the lady in front of him, it was an extremely precious gift. It could not be blasphemed against or underestimated.

Seeing Lisa accept the bank card, Jennie revealed a sincere smile.

“Alright, I hope you can use this money to make a comeback and achieve glory!”

Looking at the smile on Jennie’s face, Lisa felt like his heart had been lit up at that moment. It was like a warm ray of sunlight.

Although he really did not need the money, he could inexplicably feel the weight of this ten million dollars.

The coldness that he had been accumulating out of habit also seemed to melt under this smile. At the very least, there was a smile in his eyes now.
