Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 70

Seeing that Samuel was not back yet, Yvonne decided t o call him. Flora and her family were already at

their place, and Lydia was urging Yvonne to quickly think o f a way to get the money to them.

"I have the money. I'm on my way back," Samuel said.

Yvonne still felt sorry about the entire situation, especially since they had not brought Samuel out when

they had gone to the hotel for dinner last night, and he had stayed home alone eating cup noodles.

Furthermore, she troubled him to go to the hotel to help her out.

"Don't make dinner tonight," she said.

Samuel smiled and said, "What will Father and Mother eat if I don't make dinner?"

"It's not like they’re handicapped. Let them make their own dinner,” Yvonne said, stewing.

"All right then."

When he got back, Flora snatched the packet from his hands without even asking, sure that it

contained money. She peeked into it. It was bursting with crisp, gorgeous notes. Only then did she

break out into a smile.

"Where did you go? Why did you take so long?" she reprimanded Samuel.

He shook his head and remained silent. If not for Yvonne, he would have destroyed this family of

vermin last night.

Flora glanced at her husband, who then said to Lydia," We have an errand to attend to, Lydia. We'll

take our leave first."

Godfrey was so furious that he did not know what to say. They did not even say a single 'thank you'

after borrowing the two hundred thousand and just took the money and left. There was no hope that

people like them would ever return the money.

"Samuel, go and see them off." Lydia's pallor was unsightly as well. However, it was not because of her

brother's attitude, but because she found it hard to breathe after actually giving them the two hundred

thousand bucks.

"All right," he replied.

After they left the house, Steven said aloud, "Mom, let me take it for you. Rest your bones.”

Flora hugged her bag as though she were hugging a grandchild, afraid to let Steven take it all away.

"No way. You always sleep as soon as you get onto the car,” she said. "What if you lose it?"

"Then just let me take a look. I've never seen two hundred thousand bucks in cash," Steven said

excitedly.

Flora carefully opened the packet, then closed it a

second later.

Samuel did not even feel like smiling, watching the three acting like country bumpkins.

Steven stared cautiously at Samuel and said, "What are you looking at? You've never seen this much

money?"

"Yup. Never," Samuel replied calmly.

"Tsk. What are you still doing here? Hurry up and start the car for us," Steven said scornfully.

Samuel quickly went down the stairs and whipped his phone out. He called Johann. "Find me a few

thieves. Professional ones." 1

"Mom, you have to give half of this money to me. I haven't found a wife yet," Steven said to Flora in a

dreamy tone as they headed down.

"Half? No woman worth her salt would price herself that high. I've already found a match for you. She's

not much to look at, but she has a nice dowry attached to her. You'll see her once we get back," Flora

said.

"Don't tell me that you’ve set me up with some ugly wench, Mom. I’m such an outstanding young man. I

can't just marry a random mouse from the streets,” Steven retorted unhappily.

"Does beauty put food on the table? I've already made all the necessary inquiries. That young woman's

family is rich. They even prepared a car as part of her dowry. Don't even think about getting a single

cent

from me if you refuse to see her."

Birds of a feather flock together, or so the saying goes. This family of three were definitely cut from the

same cloth.

Steven sat shotgun in the car. His eyes sidled toward Samuel disdainfully. "How can a good-for-nothing

like you be so lucky?" he said. "You found such a beautiful woman, and you get to shake your leg and

do nothing but leech off her."

"You guys better hold onto that money properly. I've heard that thievery cases in trains have been

increasing. Don’t lose it," Samuel cautioned them.

"Shut your trap. Don't jinx me." Flora shot daggers at Samuel. This was her precious treasure, yet

Samuel was trying to curse her luck.

Samuel really wanted to see the look on their faces once they lost the money. It was a pity he would

not b e around then.

After he dropped the three at the station, they were immediately being targeted by someone in the

dark. They walked on, completely oblivious of the figure tailing them.

On the train car heading back to Brund Province, Flora clutched onto the packet desperately. She did

not loosen her grip for a split second and was constantly o n alert. She was even reluctant to blink her

eyes, fearful that thugs or thieves might take the money away. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Halfway through the journey, her eyes began to turn extremely dry. A strange scent cloyed her nose,

inducing her to slip into unconsciousness. 3

When the train arrived at the station, the conductor woke the family of three up.
