Chapter 510 His voice was soft but firm. Should she trust him? She wasn't quite sure if he was just caught up in the moment or if it was something deeper. Suddenly, he released her, reached into his pocket, and handed Eliza a credit card. "This card holds all my savings. I've got smore in digital accounts, which I'll transfer to you later. From now on, you're the boss of this house, and I'll just focus on earning the money." This was his grand gesture of sincerity. But to Eliza, it felt like a hot potato-something she didn't want to deal with at all. When they got married, he hadn't given her a penny, and she had done just fine on her own. Plus, she had a job now. "You should keep it for yourself." "A husband's salary should be handed over," he insisted.

"When we first got married, didn't you say that everything about the Welton family had nothing to do with me?" "That was then," he admitted, aware of how careless he had been, "Things are different now. I love you. Everything I am, everything about the Welton family, even Welton International, is yours." Hmph. He sure knew how to lay on the charm. But she was no longer the naive twenty-year-old Eliza. Sweet words weren't enough to sweep her off her feet anymore.
"Casper, I don't want your money. You should hold onto it." Just in case things didn't work out, and they decided to part ways. Of course, she kept these thoughts to herself. "This is our joint property. Half of it's yours, and the other half, think of it as you keeping it safe for me, okay?" Casper was eager to give her everything he had. He saw it as his ultimate show of sincerity. But she didn't see the point and had no interest in it.
"Elle, I've linked this card to your phone. You can check the balance, spend, or withdraw cash anytthrough your phone." Eliza: ...What??? Ding. Her phone buzzed with a notification. It was an alert for a deposit. Seeing the string of numbers, she was dumbfounded.
"Casper, are you sure you don't need this e does so much cash flow, doesn't your company need funds? Aren't you worried I might just take the money and run?" Her words made him chuckle. His e eyes were full of affection and trust, "Once it's yours, it's yours. Whatever you choose to do with it, I'm fine with it." Eliza held the credit card, opened a drawer, and put it away. For now, she'd just leave it there. At least, at the moment, she didn't need his money. The next day, Eliza went to work. During lunch, Casper prepared a homemade meal and brought it to her at school.

Casper handed her the lunchbox, his smile warm, "My cooking's not too shabby now, and I have the time. It's definitely better than cafeteria food." As they enjoyed this rare moment of warmth, Autumn turned the corner on her way to the cafeteria, spotted them and approached with a grin, teasing, "Who's this handsguy? Bringing you lunch?"
