Chapter 622 It's You Who Are Fated to Be (28)
Nell rolled her eyes at him. "You merchants, can you not be so vulgar? How can a debit card be a dowry?"
"Then what does this mean?"
Nell rubbed her ears and said, "Didn't you give my parents a house? Don't worry. I won't take that house for free. I've just checked the card. There are 1.1 million on the card. That villa is worth about 90 million. I'm the editor-in-chief now, and my monthly salary is about 100,000... If I give you 90,000 every month, the total for one year will be..."
Nell calculated carefully. "The total for one year will be ... 1,080,000; 10,800,000 for ten years. For twenty years..."
As she calculated, Nell's head got into a mess. She couldn't figure it out then.
In the end, she just gave up.
She said angrily, "Anyway, I can't afford that villa with my salary my whole life. I'll give you my salary except for 10,000 every month. It will be the payment for the house!"
Back then, Bryson also bought a house for Audrey. Audrey quickly paid Bryson back quickly on her own.
Lawyers did earn a lot, especially the famous ones. Nell suddenly felt a little jealous of Audrey.
Although her salary was not low in the industry, it was still far from enough to afford the villa James gave to her parents.
Seeing Nell's serious expression, James did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I said, that is my betrothal gift to you. I didn't sell it to you."
"But that house is too expensive."
"In my heart, you are the most precious. The house is just a worldly possession. I gave your parents the house because I don't want you to be sad about failing to take care of your parents."
"That being said, I still can't accept that house!" Nell held James' hand. "Take this one million first. In the future ... I will pay you back the rest every month."
James frowned.
Last night, when he was going to buy a villa in the neighborhood for Nell's parents, he called Bryson. Bryson told him that Nell might feel uneasy because she and Audrey weren't gold diggers. They had their own pride.
As it appeared now, Bryson was right.
In the end, James agreed, "Alright!"
James returned the card in his hand to Nell. "Just give me your salary in the future. You can take this money back."
"How can that be? This money can be considered as ... the down payment!" Nell said.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"This is the dowry your parents gave you. It took them a great effort to save the fund. If you give it to me, that'll be an act of disrespect to them. Moreover, with you by my side, I wouldn't need to worry about you avoiding the debt."
Nell felt that his words were very reasonable, so she took the card back.
There were not many people registering in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so James did not use any privileges. Shortly, it was their turn.
They filled in the forms, took photos, got the certificate, and made an oath.
All of this went smoothly.
When Nell and James walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were each holding a certificate in their hands.
Staring at her marriage certificate, Nell was still a little at a loss.
She didn't expect that ... she would get married just like that.
While Nell was still in a trance, James took Nell's marriage certificate from her.
Nell looked confusedly at James when he was placing the two certificates into his folder.
"We each have a marriage certificate. Why did you take mine?"
James replied seriously, "Just in case you may regret your decision and divorce me. Besides, aren't you going to pay me back for the house? Just take it as a deposit!"
Nell was speechless.
James was so unbelievable. Nell increasingly felt that James was a hooligan.
He was also acting like a scoundrel.
James generously held Nell's hand. "Do you wanna go home or go to work?"
Nell looked at the time on her phone. It was already 3:30 pm. There was still an hour and a half before she clocked off. If she rushed to work now, she would stay in the office for less than one hour before clocking off.
Nell said, "I need to go to my apartment to fetch some other daily necessities."
"Alright. We can also talk to your landlord about quitting your apartment."
...
James took Nell to her apartment. He discussed with the landlord about quitting the apartment and decided on the time to move out. Then, they took some things and returned to the Walker's together. When they returned to the villa, Nell carried her suitcase and went straight to a guest bedroom on the second floor.
She was just about to put the suitcase down and unpack her things when James got to the door of her room.
"You want to stay in this room?" James looked at Nell with a frown.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Nell felt a bit puzzled.
Could it be that there was something wrong with this room?
She zipped the suitcase again. "Well, I'll go to the next room then!"
Nell walked past James, dragging her suitcase. She meant to go to the guest bedroom next door.
However, before Nell could walk away, her wrist was held by James' hot hand, stopping her from going forward.
"Uh, what's wrong?" Nell looked up at James in confusion.
James looked at Nell with intrigue.
"Mrs. Walker, on the first day after we got married, you want to stay in the guest bedroom, leaving me to stay in the master bedroom alone. Isn't it too brutal?" Instantly, Nell blushed.
Then, she felt her throat was so dry that she couldn't even speak properly. "Well... Well, I ... I thought I should sleep in the guest bedroom."
James approached Nell. "We have been officially married today, and I, your husband, am a healthy man with no intention of separating from you. So... can you please put your things in the master bedroom?" Nell was lost for words.
What James said just made Nell unable to breathe well.
She dared not look into James' mischievous eyes.
Then, she shyly pushed James away.
"Alas, moving to the master bedroom, right? I'll move in then."
Nell moved all of her things into James' room hurriedly.
When she was putting her things away, Nell took a look at James' clothes. She glanced at the size of James' clothes. When she touched a suit, she accidentally found a box in the pocket and took it out. Upon figuring out what the box was, Nell flushed with awkwardness.
