"Okay. Look carefully. If you see something you like, just bid for it. Don't save money for me. We can afford anything here." Edward touched her hair tenderly and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. He was prepared to answer her questions about Jessica. But he didn't expect her to drop the subject so soon. He sighed in relief. He feared that he might say something wrong and upset her, leading to a fight that would put a strain on their relationship.
"But I can't afford them. I won't waste my hard-earned money on such useless things." She didn't want to carelessly spend Edward's money either, he also earned his money through hard work. It just wasn't her character.
"My sweet miser, you don't have to spend your money. Just use mine. Besides, doesn't everything I own belong to you?" Edward laughed and pinched her nose. If the public knew that the wife of FX International Group's CEO was such a miser, what would they think of her? Regardless how people would perceive Daisy, Edward liked her straightforward mindset, it was her true disposition. And this side of Daisy touched Edward's heart and made him love her even more.
"Okay, since you say that what's yours is mine, I'll use your money." Daisy realized that she had never been so brazen before. She immediately blushed after the words slipped from her mouth.
The auction outside was in full swing. People constantly raised the price for the items, as if competing with each other to show off their wealth. Inside, the couple chatted as if the auction had nothing to do with them. What would the organizers think if they knew?
Edward smiled at Daisy's witty reply. He constantly swiped his fingers on the touch screen at his side, and found a best view for Daisy to watch the auction.
Suddenly, a necklace caught Daisy's attention. It didn't look anything spe
Daisy's independence about money made him very uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry! I didn't meant it like that. I just momentarily forgot that I can use my husband's money." Daisy immediately realized that her careless words injured his self-esteem. She unintentionally treated Edward as an outsider with her hurtful words.
"Honey, you should know that I don't want to hear your apologies. What I want is for you to feel comfortable about relying on your husband. I want you to feel this deeply in your heart, then I'll know what role I am playing in your life."
Edward sighed. He knew she never wanted to use his money. She put the credit card he had given her on the desk in the study and hadn't touched it since. He felt upset and frustrated. It was meaningless for him to have so much wealth if Daisy didn't use it. He always got the urge to torture himself whenever he was struck by such frustration. He even fantasized about becoming a poor man overnight. Maybe then, Daisy wouldn't treat him like an outsider.
"Okay. I'll keep that in mind. I'll never apologize to you again." As Daisy said this, she never expected that she would end up apologizing a thousand times later with an extremely grieved look on her face.
