Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise

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 planning 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 planning to give to Louisa. Callum chuckled and replied: [Adam, you and

Lumma are still newlyweds, celebrating your first Christmas together. Don’t compare 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 account. However, in Lumma’s eyes, Lucas didn’t have that much

money. So he decided to transfer her some money to make her happy. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

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 glanced 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 salaries 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 salary.

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 dollars 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 plans, and I will feel insecure. Give me your bank account 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 accept the money, I still won’t let you live with us in the future?]

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

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

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

money is in your account, 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 dollars 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, glanced 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 accept.

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?]
