Jessie understood that although Kevin was scolding her, he was actually worried about her safety.
She nodded in agreent.
Even if he didn’t say it, she wouldn’t go out drinking again.
She was aware enough of her own safety.
Seeing her agreeing, his expression softened a bit.
He didn’t forget to remind her, "By the way, the living room is a public area. Don’t sleep here next ti."
"Alright." The mory of him carrying her to bed in his arms last night flashed in her mind.
She suddenly understood sothing new about her husband; he was an upright person.
Otherwise, given last night’s situation, things would have escalated, and they would have had sex as a new couple is supposed to do.
Kevin was unaware of her thoughts, but he did notice she had organized her stuff in the guest room. He was satisfied with her decision to sleep separately in two rooms.
After all, he didn’t want to fulfill any husbandly duties.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked after finishing breakfast, noticing Jessie staring into space.
He couldn’t say he liked her a lot, but he inherently thought she was a deep scher.
Otherwise, why would Grandpa Harper deem her worthy of marrying into the Harpers after just one look?
She definitely must have used so ans, using Grandpa Harper’s old age to convince him.
He wasn’t going to reveal his true identity to her until she passed his test.
On the other hand, Jessie didn’t know of all the drama going on in Kevin’s mind.
She was simply thinking of how to design so new desserts for her shop.
Seeing her not responding, Kevin slightly furrowed his brows.
He realized that his new wife often liked to drift off into her thoughts.
Though he didn’t know what she was pondering, he hated it when people didn’t answer him imdiately.
It was a waste of his ti.
Jessie snapped out of her thoughts and apologized, "Sorry. I don’t know if they’ll be free, so I can’t answer you now. I’ll tell you after I ask them first, okay?"
"Alright. It’s fine if they can’t co; just you being there is quite enough," Kevin said indifferently.
He mainly wanted to fulfill Grandpa Harper’s task.
Jessie nodded, not saying much more.
Before leaving for work, Kevin took a bank card out of his suit pocket and handed it to her.
"This is my salary card; you can keep it. You will receive money every month, so you can use this card on whatever you want to buy. Just let know what you bought, no matter how much you spent on them."
Kevin had ntioned that since they were married, it was his obligation to take care of her.
Besides, he had so much money and wealth that he couldn’t even keep track of it all. He had no problem with her spending so of it.
However, he wasn’t naive enough to let her spend money unsupervised. He still didn’t trust her enough.
Jessie’s face darkened at his words.
She frowned at him, pushing the card back.
"I don’t need your card.”
She now had a shop of her own, bringing in enough inco to cover her daily expenses, so she didn’t need his money. However, the main reason she refused was that his words made it seem like he thought she was only after his wealth—especially since he expected her to account for every penny.
"Why?" Kevin raised an eyebrow.
He assud she was just putting up a front.
Jessie took a deep breath and replied, "Mr. Harper, since we’re married, I can earn my money and contribute to the household expenses as well. Besides, you work as a repairman; it isn’t easy to make money, so you can keep it to yourself."
After that, she walked into her room, got ready to change clothes, and went to check on her shop.
Kevin realized after so seconds that he might have hurt her feelings with his attitude.
"Wait a mont."
"Is there anything else, Mr. Harper?" Jessie’s reply didn’t sound very friendly.
She didn’t really want to talk with him anymore, but she reminded herself that this was his house, so she needed to be patient.
He pressed the card back into her hand and said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t express myself properly. You’re right; we should share the expenses since we’re married. I don’t have ti to manage the money, and I trust you more, so it’s better if you keep it for family savings. What do you think?"
He looked down at her face, waiting for her response.
