Chapter 102 Surrendering Their Financial Power
"The baby?" Curtis's eyes flickered with a hint of regret, and he cautiously reached out to touch Adeline's flat abdomen.
His expression made it clear that he wasn't entirely enthusiastic about the prospect of a new addition to the family!
After all, they had just gotten married, and he didn't want to practice abstinence!
Adeline gently pulled away his large hand, her cheeks turning red as she explained softly.
"No, I'm not pregnant. I only thought you had a way of being an elder when I saw you talking to Olivia. If we have children in the future, you would be good at leading them to the right path."
Her troubled family background had always been a source of pain for her.
That was why she longed to start her own family early and create her own happiness and complete family. She yearned for children who she could raise into loving and confident individuals.
But Curtis hadn't anticipated this. Upon hearing that there was no imminent child, he breathed a sigh of relief and took a card from his pocket, handing it to Adeline.
"Mrs. Riley, I present to you the globally customized Black Gold Card," said Curtis as he handed the bank card to Adeline.
"Black Gold Card?" Adeline had never heard of such a card and took it with confusion. She noticed Curtis's solid and robust signature on the back mirrored his personality.
"Yes, it's the Black Gold Card. Each man can only have one in his lifetime. And this card is exclusively for wives, not girlfriends. The password is your birthday. You can use it for all future transactions with no credit limit."
Curtis then handed Adeline another bank card.
"This is the company's bonus card. Although I don't have full control of it yet, I still hold a certain percentage of shares in the Riley Group. The company will deposit bonuses into this card every quarter."
Upon hearing "bonus card," Adeline was shocked. It took her a while to ask the next question.
"Would that be more than multimillion-dollar bonuses?"
After all, she had just learned that Logan received multimillion-dollar bonuses every quarter.
Curtis smiled faintly. "I reckon it's more than that."
"And you want me to have them both?" Adeline couldn't believe her eyes.
"Well, why not give them to my wife? We're family!" Curtis replied. "Mrs. Riley, I'm entrusting you our family's financial power. From now on, you have the final say in our household!"
Adeline couldn't help but smile. She hugged Curtis tightly and planted a kiss on his cheek.
The feeling of being trusted was genuinely excellent.
Curtis sensed her joy and continued, "We must change houses and make big purchases soon. Let's discuss the expenses from now on. And if I need pocket money, I'll have to ask you."
"Okay!" Adeline originally wanted to refuse.
After all, there was an immense amount of money involved.
However, the idea of Curtis having to ask her for pocket money made her agree.
After all, Curtis was known for his extravagant spending.
Curtis didn't say anything for a while.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
But seeing his wife so happy, he couldn't help but smile and lean in to bite Adeline's tender lips.
However, their intimate moment was interrupted by the doorbell.
Olivia returned, and Adeline's phone began to ring.
Being disturbed, Curtis went to open the door with a gloomy expression.
If it might be a parent of one of her students, Adeline answered the call from an unknown number.
To her surprise, it was Logan.
"Adeline, it's me. Don't hang up. I want to talk to you," Logan pleaded. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Logan, I've made it clear. If you want to talk, come back, and let's resolve our past issues face-to- face. If you can't come back, please don't call me again."
Adeline felt exhausted.
Just as she was about to end the call, she accidentally switched on the speakerphone. Logan's voice echoed in the living room, reaching the three of their ears.
"Adeline, don't be mad at me anymore, okay? If you think I'm not sincere enough, how about I send you my salary and bonus cards?"
