Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 21 “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, | think | 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.” “That’s almost half your salary! Is this your salary card?” Aurelia hesitated but still asked.

There were many people who lived paycheck to paycheck. Most young people in their company were in the same boat. They were making a couple of hundred bucks, and when the next paycheck rolled in, they barely had 20 or 30 dollars left. Forget about savings, just making it to the end of the month without eating instant noodles was already good.

She didn’t expect Leslie to be a big spender. No wonder Linda was so worried about him. Leslie thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “It’s my salary card. Any problems?”

Upon hearing his response, Aurelia got a bit mad. But it wasn’t her money, so she couldn't really tell him off. So, she could only say, ‘It’s better to spend money wisely. Ms. Linda is getting older, and you’re her only son. What if... | mean, what if she gets sick in the future and needs a lot of money? Would you be able to provide it?”

Aurelia understood the feeling of helplessness too well. That was why she seemed a bit anxious. Leslie was speechless. He looked at her and felt puzzled. “Is she asking about his salary because of his mother?” he thought.

Aurelia pointed at the card and said, “Considering the current cost of living in Seacester, 500 dollars is enough for both of us. And we should keep an extra 150 dollars for emergencies. |’ll contribute half of this amount. After deducting your mortgage and setting aside some for social and personal expenses, I'll save the rest of your salary on this card. You can check it whenever you like.”

With that, Aurelia continued eating the porridge. But Leslie kept staring at her. She asked, “Do you want more porridge?” Chapter 21

Leslie snapped back to reality and calmly picked up his bowl. Then, he replied, “No.”

“Alright.” Aurelia continued to eat the porridge.

After breakfast, Aurelia realized she was running late. She quickly got up and grabbed her bag. Then, she walked towards the door.

“Mr. Synder, remember to wash the dishes.” “What did you say?” Leslie paused while eating his porridge. She asked him to wash the dishes?

Aurelia stopped and turned to look at Leslie. She said, “Mr. Synder, according to the cohabitation agreement's fifth clause, we share household chores equally. | made breakfast, so is it a problem if you do the dishes? You were sick yesterday, so it’s fine that | helped out. Or you don’t know how to do it?”

“| know.” Leslie’s handsome face crinkled. He felt embarrassed when a woman asked him if he didn’t know how to wash dishes. After Aurelia left, Leslie finished his breakfast and took the dishes to the kitchen. Soon, a call from Daniel came. “Boss, where are you? Didn’t you ask me to come early? There’s

a video conference with the international headquarters today. They have many things to consult with you.

“I'm busy,” Leslie replied coldly.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“What are you busy with?”

“Washing dishes.”

Daniel was speechless.
