Chapter 87 Letting His Wife Spend His Money
The clients were greatly surprised to hear this, so one of them asked, "Morgan, is Mr. Donovan dating anyone now? Do you know which family the young lady is from?"
They had thought Hubert would be single forever.
Morgan said, "Shh! I must keep the secret. Otherwise, Mr. Donovan would blame me for gossiping. He has not fallen in love but was just a little interested in her. When he falls in love, he will make it public. I know him well."
If Hubert announced their marriage, his admirers such as Sophie would stop pestering him.
Hearing Morgan's words, the clients all nodded their heads heavily.
It was enough for them to know Mr. Donovan liked women. Some of them had a daughter of marriageable age, so they began to look forward to becoming his father-in-law.
Since Mr. Donovan had interested in women, they would bring their daughters together with them when talking business with the Donovan Group in the future. They could not only teach their daughters how to do business but also make them meet Mr. Donovan. After all, he had not dated the woman he was interested in now yet. It would be a fair competition.
Hubert didn't know his right-hand man had leaked his secret. Since he had seen it was his wife that was calling him, he had been smiling and in a good mood. Of course, when he spoke, he still asked in a serious tone, "Teresa, what's up?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to talk with you. Are you on your lunch break? Did I wake you up?"
It was noon now, so Teresa was afraid that she had woken him up.
"I'm still having lunch."
Hearing this, she said, "So late? I know you are busy with work, but you must eat three meals on time. Otherwise, your stomach would get sick."
"I see."
It was not the first time that Hubert had been cared about, but Teresa's caring words made him feel particularly warm.
"Well, Mr. Donovan, thank you for the lunch that was delivered to the bookstore. The food was delicious, and the fruit was fresh." Watenll City Hotel deserved its good reputation.
Hubert said in a casual tone, "I am having lunch with my clients at the Watenll City Hotel this noon. Remembering you eat unhealthy takeout every day, I think it will harm your health, so I ordered a few dishes for you and asked the manager to arrange for someone to deliver them to you. You should eat less junk food in the future. If you like the food of the Watenll City Hotel, I will let them deliver meals to you every day."
Hubert trusted the hotel under his group. Besides, he would order the dishes in person. Teresa could eat the food with ease because it would be much better than the takeout she ordered.
"When Gwen and I have time, we buy ingredients and cook by ourselves. We order takeout only when we are busy. Don't ask them to deliver meals to me every day. The Waternll City Hotel is the most high-end hotel in Waternll City. The food is delicious, but it must be expensive. It is OK for me to have it occasionally, but we can't afford to eat it every day."
Even if he earned a lot of money, he was still a salaryman.
Her monthly income was only about twenty thousand dollars. This month, the sales of her online store were incredibly good, so her income was much higher than usual. And the conservative estimate was about thirty thousand dollars.
Although her income became higher, she would not squander her money. She saved 70% of her income every month, either depositing it in her bank account or buying some low-risk wealth management products.
After keeping silent for a while, Hubert said, "You should try to cook by yourself as often as possible. Don't eat unhealthy takeout. If you eat junk food all the time, I'll ask the Waternll City Hotel to deliver meals to you every day. It will be fine if I have to spend all my salary on your meals."
Teresa hurriedly said, "Okay! I will buy ingredients in the supermarket near our home, bring them to the store, and then cook by myself. I won't eat unhealthy takeout any longer. Don't ask the hotel to deliver meals every day. It would cost too much money. We can't afford it. Although people all like delicious food, it is not wise to spend a month's income on food."
Hubert fell silent.
In her eyes, he was just an ordinary salaryman. Even though she knew he had a decent job, she didn't know his salary. She was worried he could not afford it and wanted to help him save money.
This proved she was not greedy for money.
In fact, after getting along with Teresa for a while, Hubert knew that he was wrong to suspect she had married him for money.
"I received my salary today, and I'll transfer the money for our living expenses to you later. You can eat whatever you want and buy whatever you need. You don't need to be so frugal."
"No need. You gave me one hundred thousand dollars last time, and there is a lot left now. We don't have a lot of expenses, so you don't need to give me so much money."
She had only spent tens of thousands of dollars on furniture. And the remaining money was enough to pay their living expenses for a few more months. Besides, she couldn't spend his money on everything she needed.
"If you haven't spent it all, save it up. I always spend extravagantly. After I transfer the money to you, you can deposit it. If we get in trouble in the future, we can withdraw the money to solve problems. Otherwise, I would spend it all."
Teresa thought for a while and agreed, "OK."
She would keep the accounts clear. She would record how much money he transferred to her every month and deposit it in her bank account. If they divorced in the future, it would be easier to divide the property.
"Mr. Donovan, if you are having lunch with clients, I will not disturb you any longer."
"I might be late to go home tonight. Don't lock the door. Don't wait for me." Teresa had never waited for him to return home, but Hubert couldn't help saying such words.
Teresa said yes and hung up the phone.
Her attitude showed that she didn't care whether he would go home early or late.
But it was accorded with the terms of their agreement. After all, she was not allowed to interfere in his affairs.
After a moment of silence, Hubert transferred twenty thousand dollars to Teresa.
Thinking of her accepting his money, he somehow felt better. He was happy that his wife was willing to spend the money he earned.
Teresa had a short nap at the cashier at noon. After waking up, she took out her tools and materials and started to make handicrafts again.
After a long time, she heard a car approaching from outside. And when she heard footsteps, she instinctively looked out.
"Miss Lisbon?" Teresa said in surprise because the comer was Sophie.
Sophie planned to accompany her mother to the beach for a vacation. But she suddenly thought of Teresa and wanted to chat with her before setting off. Because she liked her very much and couldn't help wanting to get close to her.
"I finally found you." Sophie handed Teresa the bag in her hand and said, "I waited for you to contact me, but you didn't call me. So, I had to inquire about you from your strange relatives. They told me you're working here. Here you are! This is a small gift for you."
It was s set of expensive skin care products.
Teresa did not stand on ceremony but took the bag over and said with a smile, "Miss Lisbon, you're too generous. You don't need to buy me a gift when you come to visit me."
"Don't be angry if I tell you the truth. I bought too many skin care products, and I can't use them up, so I decided to send a set to you."
Sophie had just bought it. She was afraid Teresa would not accept it because it was too expensive. She had said so on purpose so that Teresa would not feel too much pressure.
It was just a set of skin care products. It might be expensive for ordinary people, but it was cheap for her.
