Chapter 217
Owen looked at Cecilia, waiting for her response.
"Grandpa, I''m used to my own bed, so I can''t sleep if I change ces. I better go home, or I won''t
have the energy to run the shop if I can''t sleep."
Cecilia didn''t want to spend the night here.
Even if Owen really wanted her to stay, she wouldn''t agree.
"You don''t need to work then. We got plenty of money at home. No woman who marries into our
family needs to work. The family gives every member a living allowance every month, and the men
also give their wives pocket money. Cecilia, all you need to do is enjoy life at home. If you get
bored, you can call your friends to go shopping or go on a trip."
Cecilia kept silent.
"Owen, haven''t you been giving Cecilia pocket money? Give me your wallet."
Trenton asked his grandson to hand over his wallet.
Owen dared not mention the agreement he and Cecilia had, which required him to give her thirty
thousand dors a month in living expenses. So he took out his wallet and handed it to Trenton,
saying, "Grandpa, she''s not short of money."
The thirty thousand dors he gave her was enough for her to live on.
Trenton ignored him and opened his wallet to look inside.
Cecilia originally thought Trenton would at most give her all the cash in Owen''s wallet. She was still
debating whether to ept it when Trenton handed her a ck card.
She curiously took the credit card. She had heard of ck cards. The male protagonist in the novels
written by Lucinda was a man who had a ck card.
But in real life, this was her first time seeing a real ck card.
She looked at the ck card a few times, then returned it to Trenton,ughing, "So that''s what a
ck card looks like."
"Cecilia, take it. You can use this card to buy anything you need in the future. You''re Owen''s wife,
so the money he earns is for you to spend. Don''t be shy. If you don''t spend your husband''s money,
other women will."
Owen whispered, "Grandpa!"
"Tell Cecilia the password."
Trenton ordered.
"Grandpa, no need. The living expenses Owen gives me are enough for me, and I prefer to be self-
reliant. It''s veryte now. I should go."
Cecilia decided to leave quickly to avoid Trenton''s further persuasion.
"Owen, what are you sitting around for? If you can''t keep my granddaughter-inw here, can''t you
at least send her home? It''s not safe for a young and beautiful girl like her to go home alone this
late."
Trenton red at his grandson.
"Owen''s tired. Let him rest. A driver can take me home."
"No way! He must take you home."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Trenton red at Owen again.
Owen reluctantly stood up and said, "Fine. I''ll take her home myself."
"Give this card to Cecilia, and tell her the password too. Tomorrow, take her to buy a new car, and
make sure it''s a nice one. How can the women in our family not have a decent car?"
Owen took his wallet from Trenton, ignored his nagging, and followed Cecilia out.
Trenton watched them leave one after another. After they were far away, he said to Derek next to
him, "Cecilia is a good girl."
Derek replied, "But you still hurt her."
"How did I hurt her? I''m ying matchmaker for them. Once they are stable in their feelings, they
will be grateful for what I''m doing now."
"But Owen''s parents might not like such a daughter-inw. Can you protect her for the rest of her
life? In the end, she will still get hurt. Isn''t this hurting her?"
These words left Trenton speechless.
Even now, Devon would go out of his way to avoid him.
They were inws!
Owen and Cecilia were secretly married. Trenton had promised Owen that he would not interfere
excessively in his private affairs. Apart from Ruby and Megan, no outsider should know about their
marital status.
As for the Yates family, Owen and Cecilia agreed to keep it as secret as possible.
Owen personally drove Cecilia home.
As usual, when they reached the alley near her home, Owen parked the car at the entrance of the
alley.
It waste at night. Most of the shops on the street were already closed.
When Cecilia tried to open the car door to get out, she found that the door was still locked. She
turned to look at Owen and reminded him, "I need to get out."
Owen seemed to be thinking. Cecilia reminded him twice before he responded, but instead of
unlocking the car, he took out his wallet and handed the ck card that Trenton had just given him
to Cecilia.
"If I don''t give it to you, Grandpa might me me. He might even remove me from the position of
CEO in a fit of anger. I''ll text you the passwordter."
Cecilia: "Are you really giving it to me? Aren''t you afraid I''ll max out your card?"
"Although you are a bit greedy, you have good character. I trust you won''t waste my money. Please
take good care of it for me."
Ceciliaughed. "Should I thank you for your trust?"
She took the ck card without hesitation and said, "Since you want me to keep it, I will. I''ll charge
you two hundred dors a day for custody. You can transfer me the custody fee on WhatsApp. I
won''t spend the money on this card."
She paused, then added, "A gentleman loves money but gets it in the right way."
She wanted to earn his money in a legitimate way, not ept his charity.
Owen was both amused and exasperated. "Why don''t you just take two hundred dors out of the
card every day?"
"I won''t use your card. Please transfer me the money on WhatsApp."
"Alright, alright. You money-grubber! Why must you always talk about money with me? Are you
always thinking about how to put all my money into your wallet?"
After shoving the ck card into Cecilia''s hand, Owen immediately took out his phone, transferred
two hundred dors to Cecilia, and noted that it was payment for her keeping the ck card for him.
Cecilia took the money he transferred over, muttering, "You really n on giving me two hundred
bucks every day? Can''t you just give me a few days'' worth all at once?"
"I''ll give you two hundred dors every day. That way, you get to see money rolling in daily. Feels
good, doesn''t it?"
This meant she would have to keep in touch with him every day.
Every time he sent her money, she would respond with a thank you. That was their form of daily
contact.
