chapter 24 wife and lover

"I noticed you spent money at a clothing store. Did you buy clothes? And they were so expensive! You spent over a thousand dollars in one go. Can't you save a bit? Do you know how hard I work to earn money?" "I still have to pay the mortgage and car loan, and provide for my parents. Ethan also needs milk powder, diapers, and other things, all of which require money. You don't earn, so I have to handle it all alone. Can't you be a bit considerate?" Anna Hai responded, her frustration evident. "I understand you want to make a good impression when meeting Mila's in-laws, but do you have to buy two sets of clothes? One set would have sufficed. Also, you should lose weight quickly. Once you do, you can wear your old clothes. They were of such good quality; it's a shame you can't wear them anymore." "You spend all your time eating and spending money, turning yourself into a pig. If you were a pig, you'd fetch a good price if sold at year-end. You're an unsellable pig." Matthew Zhou's words were laced with disgust as he thought about his wife's more prominent figure. During their married life, he found it hard to feel comfortable touching his wife. The intelligent, capable, slim, and beautiful Anna Hai was gone! He never expected his wife to transform into a more prominent woman in three years of marriage! His mother and sister had been right. Anna Hai ate like a hungry wolf, and he couldn't make money as she squandered it all. "Mr. Zhou." Matthew Zhou's young secretary pushed the door open, her sweet voice breaking in. Matthew Zhou quickly said to his wife on the other side of the phone, "Anna Hai, I'm busy now. Head back and start cooking. Don't wait for me to get home from work. I don't even know what you do at home all day to eat." After venting to his wife, Matthew Zhou hung up without waiting for Anna Hai's response. "Mr. Zhou, please take a look at this document and sign if it's okay." The young secretary handed a document to Matthew Zhou. Matthew Zhou nodded, read the document, and signed it after confirming its contents. He then pulled out a rectangular brocade box from his drawer and handed it to the secretary, "Grace, after finishing work last night, I passed by Saturday Fortune on my way home. I went in and picked out a gold necklace for you. Do you like it?" Grace Ye took the brocade box and opened it immediately. Seeing the gold necklace inside, she smiled and took it out. Matthew Zhou stood up, walked around the desk, and came behind her. He took the gold necklace from her hand and said thoughtfully, "Let me put it on for you." "Sure." Matthew Zhou helped her put on the gold necklace, kissed her on the cheek, and complimented, "It's very beautiful and suits you perfectly." Grace Ye stood up, turned around, hugged his neck, lightly kissed his cheek, and thanked him gently, "Mr. Zhou, thank you. I love this necklace." "Just call me Matthew when there's no one around." Matthew Zhou hugged her tightly, a look of longing on his handsome face, and whispered something in Grace Ye's ear. Grace Ye immediately pushed him away playfully, saying, "You have a lovely wife at home and a beloved son. Remember, we agreed to keep our relationship at a spiritual level and not go beyond that." ..
