Chapter 377


    Shortly afterward, Lumma received another message from Lucas: [I’m not sure how much would be the


    right amount. If it’s not sufficient, I can send more.]


    Adam hadn’t even considered transferring money to Lumma. It was Callum who brought up the topic in


    their chat group, asking Adam what gift he was nning to give Lumma for their first Christmas


    together as a married couple.


    In response, Adam turned the question back to Callum, asking what gift he was nning to give to


    Louisa. Callum chuckled and replied: [Adam, you and


    Lumma are still newlyweds, celebrating your first Christmas together. Don’tpare yourselves to us


    old married folks.]


    Deep down, Adam believed that the more valuable the gift he gave Lumma, the better. He even


    entertained the thought of transferring half of his assets to


    Lumma’s ount. However, in Lumma’s eyes, Lucas didn’t have that much


    money. So he decided to transfer her some money to make her happy.


    Lumma opened the transfer and promptly returned both amounts to him, stating: [Lucas, how many


    times do I have to tell you? Keep your money and save it properly. Stop spending it recklessly. Why


    won’t you listen?]


    Lucas responded: [Is it considered reckless spending when I transfer money to my own wife for


    Christmas?]


    Even though the message wasn’t filled with romantic words, Lumma suddenly blushed and felt her


    heart racing. She discreetly nced at the people at the


    table and was relieved to see that their attention was not focused on her. She


    replied: [Well, I guess not!]


    Lucas sent another message: [I’m the type of person who can’t hold onto money. I’d rather transfer it to


    you and have you keep it for me. When I need it


    in the future, I’ll ask for it.]


    In Lumma’s hometown, Soothy City, there was a custom where men would


    hand over their sries to their wives after marriage, allowing the wives to manage the money and give


    the men an allowance.


    When they registered their marriage, Maria specifically reminded Lumma that men tend to have


    wandering minds and would spend money recklessly if not managed properly. She urged Lumma to


    take control of Lucas’s sry.


    However, shortly after the registration, Lucas disappeared without a trace. Lumma had her own


    perspective on the situation. She believed that as adults, they shouldn’t try to control each other. It was


    a marriage between a man and a woman, not an adoption of a son. Lumma didn’t want to burden


    herself with


    such responsibilities.


    Lumma responded: [If you can’t even exercise self-control in this matter, how can I feel at ease living


    with you?]


    Lucas sent another lengthy text: [Maria’s health is not good, and you’ve spent


    a lot of money on her treatment. You just bought a house, and that’s a significant amount of money


    gone. You still have to renovate it, which will cost tens of thousands of dors at the very least. If you’re


    unwilling to let me contribute to buying the house and don’t want to use my money for the


    renovations, it makes me feel like you don’t include me in your future ns, and I will feel insecure.


    Give me your bank ount number, and I’ll transfer


    some money to you for the renovation. Then I can move in with you and be


    part of your life. You said we are husband and wife, but you refuse to s even a penny of mine. What


    kind of marriage is this?]


    spend


    Lucas’s words were sincere and genuine, and Lumma felt that he had a point. She replied: [Aren’t you


    worried that if I ept the money, I still won’t let you live with us in the future?]


    Lucas responded: [Not at all! Give me your bank ount number, and I’ll transfer the money directly to


    your ount.]


    After some consideration, Lumma sent him her bank ount number.


    Soon enough, Lucas transferred a sum of 200 thousand dors and said: [The


    Get Borus


    money is in your ount, and you have the final say on how to use it. Don’t always think about saving


    money for me. Don’t always worry about saving


    money for me. Your spending motivates me to earn more.]


    200 thousand dors was a substantial amount for Lumma, but what warmed her heart was Lucas’s


    words. He wasn’t just saying it; he was showing her in


    his own way that he wanted to live a good life with her.


    Lumma felt a warm feeling in her heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on


    her lips. She asked: [Be honest, did you transfer all your earnings from this


    year to me?]


    Adam, sitting beside her, nced at her from the corner of his eye and


    couldn’t help but curl his lips. If he only earned this much in a year, Hills Group would have gone


    bankrupt long ago.

    He didn’t dare to transfer too much money to her. Firstly, he was afraid she


    would refuse it, and secondly, he was worried she might have unfounded


    thoughts. So he transferred an amount that she would ept.


    Since he didn’t reply, Lumma took it as his approval and asked again: [Did you leave any money for


    emergencies? You do business outside, and there are expenses for socializing. If you give it all to me,


    what will you use?]
