Chapter 377
Shortly afterward, Lumma received another message from Lucas: [I’m not sure how much would be the right amount. If it’s not sufficient, I can send more.]
Adam hadn’t even considered transferring money to Lumma. It was Callum who brought up the topic in their chat group, asking Adam what gift he was planning to give Lumma for their first Christmas together as a married couple.
In response, Adam turned the question back to Callum, asking what gift he was planning to give to Louisa. Callum chuckled and replied: [Adam, you and
Lumma are still newlyweds, celebrating your first Christmas together. Don’t compare yourselves to us old married folks.]
Deep down, Adam believed that the more valuable the gift he gave Lumma, the better. He even entertained the thought of transferring half of his assets to
Lumma’s account. However, in Lumma’s eyes, Lucas didn’t have that much
money. So he decided to transfer her some money to make her happy.
Lumma opened the transfer and promptly returned both amounts to him, stating: [Lucas, how many times do I have to tell you? Keep your money and save it properly. Stop spending it recklessly. Why won’t you listen?]
Lucas responded: [Is it considered reckless spending when I transfer money to my own wife for Christmas?]
Even though the message wasn’t filled with romantic words, Lumma suddenly blushed and felt her heart racing. She discreetly glanced at the people at the

Lucas sent another message: [I’m the type of person who can’t hold onto money. I’d rather transfer it to you and have you keep it for me. When I need it
in the future, I’ll ask for it.]
In Lumma’s hometown, Soothy City, there was a custom where men would
hand over their salaries to their wives after marriage, allowing the wives to manage the money and give the men an allowance.
When they registered their marriage, Maria specifically reminded Lumma that men tend to have wandering minds and would spend money recklessly if not managed properly. She urged Lumma to take control of Lucas’s salary.
However, shortly after the registration, Lucas disappeared without a trace. Lumma had her own perspective on the situation. She believed that as adults, they shouldn’t try to control each other. It was a marriage between a man and a woman, not an adoption of a son. Lumma didn’t want to burden herself with
such responsibilities.
Lumma responded: [If you can’t even exercise self-control in this matter, how can I feel at ease living with you?]
Lucas sent another lengthy text: [Maria’s health is not good, and you’ve spent
a lot of money on her treatment. You just bought a house, and that’s a significant amount of money gone. You still have to renovate it, which will cost tens of thousands of dollars at the very least. If you’re unwilling to let me contribute to buying the house and don’t want to use my money for the
