Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 217

Owen looked at Cecilia, waiting for her response.

"Grandpa, I'm used to my own bed, so I can't sleep if I change places. I better go home, or I won't have the energy to run the shop if I can't sleep."

Cecilia didn't want to spend the night here.

Even if Owen really wanted her to stay, she wouldn't agree.

"You don't need to work then. We got plenty of money at home. No woman who marries into our family needs to work. The family gives every member a living allowance every month, and the men also give their wives pocket money. Cecilia, all you need to do is enjoy life at home. If you get bored, you can call your friends to go shopping or go on a trip."

Cecilia kept silent.

"Owen, haven't you been giving Cecilia pocket money? Give me your wallet."

Trenton asked his grandson to hand over his wallet.

Owen dared not mention the agreement he and Cecilia had, which required him to give her thirty thousand dollars a month in living expenses. So he took out his wallet and handed it to Trenton, saying, "Grandpa, she's not short of money."

The thirty thousand dollars he gave her was enough for her to live on.

Trenton ignored him and opened his wallet to look inside.

Cecilia originally thought Trenton would at most give her all the cash in Owen's wallet. She was still debating whether to accept it when Trenton handed her a black card.

She curiously took the credit card. She had heard of black cards. The male protagonist in the novels written by Lucinda was a man who had a black card.

But in real life, this was her first time seeing a real black card.

She looked at the black card a few times, then returned it to Trenton, laughing, "So that's what a black card looks like."

"Cecilia, take it. You can use this card to buy anything you need in the future. You're Owen's wife, so the money he earns is for you to spend. Don't be shy. If you don't spend your husband's money, other women will."

Owen whispered, "Grandpa!"

"Tell Cecilia the password."

Trenton ordered.

"Grandpa, no need. The living expenses Owen gives me are enough for me, and I prefer to be self-reliant. It's very late now. I should go."

Cecilia decided to leave quickly to avoid Trenton's further persuasion.

"Owen, what are you sitting around for? If you can't keep my granddaughter-in-law here, can't you at least send her home? It's not safe for a young and beautiful girl like her to go home alone this late."

Trenton glared at his grandson.

"Owen's tired. Let him rest. A driver can take me home."

"No way! He must take you home."

Trenton glared at Owen again.

Owen reluctantly stood up and said, "Fine. I'll take her home myself."

"Give this card to Cecilia, and tell her the password too. Tomorrow, take her to buy a new car, and make sure it's a nice one. How can the women in our family not have a decent car?"

Owen took his wallet from Trenton, ignored his nagging, and followed Cecilia out.
