Noble Husband At the Door (Antonio) novel Chapter 70

Seeing that Samuel was not back yet, Yvonne decided t o call him. Flora and her family were already at their place, and Lydia was urging Yvonne to quickly think o f a way to get the money to them.

"I have the money. I'm on my way back," Samuel said.

Yvonne still felt sorry about the entire situation, especially since they had not brought Samuel out when they had gone to the hotel for dinner last night, and he had stayed home alone eating cup noodles. Furthermore, she troubled him to go to the hotel to help her out.

"Don't make dinner tonight," she said.

Samuel smiled and said, "What will Father and Mother eat if I don't make dinner?"

"It's not like they’re handicapped. Let them make their own dinner,” Yvonne said, stewing.

"All right then."

When he got back, Flora snatched the packet from his hands without even asking, sure that it contained money. She peeked into it. It was bursting with crisp, gorgeous notes. Only then did she break out into a smile.

"Where did you go? Why did you take so long?" she reprimanded Samuel.

He shook his head and remained silent. If not for Yvonne, he would have destroyed this family of vermin last night.

Flora glanced at her husband, who then said to Lydia," We have an errand to attend to, Lydia. We'll take our leave first."

Godfrey was so furious that he did not know what to say. They did not even say a single 'thank you' after borrowing the two hundred thousand and just took the money and left. There was no hope that people like them would ever return the money.

"Samuel, go and see them off." Lydia's pallor was unsightly as well. However, it was not because of her brother's attitude, but because she found it hard to breathe after actually giving them the two hundred thousand bucks.

"All right," he replied.

After they left the house, Steven said aloud, "Mom, let me take it for you. Rest your bones.”

Flora hugged her bag as though she were hugging a grandchild, afraid to let Steven take it all away. "No way. You always sleep as soon as you get onto the car,” she said. "What if you lose it?"

"Then just let me take a look. I've never seen two hundred thousand bucks in cash," Steven said excitedly.

Flora carefully opened the packet, then closed it a

second later.

Birds of a feather flock together, or so the saying goes. This family of three were definitely cut from the same cloth.

Steven sat shotgun in the car. His eyes sidled toward Samuel disdainfully. "How can a good-for-nothing like you be so lucky?" he said. "You found such a beautiful woman, and you get to shake your leg and do nothing but leech off her."

"You guys better hold onto that money properly. I've heard that thievery cases in trains have been increasing. Don’t lose it," Samuel cautioned them.

"Shut your trap. Don't jinx me." Flora shot daggers at Samuel. This was her precious treasure, yet Samuel was trying to curse her luck.

Samuel really wanted to see the look on their faces once they lost the money. It was a pity he would not b e around then.

After he dropped the three at the station, they were immediately being targeted by someone in the dark. They walked on, completely oblivious of the figure tailing them.

On the train car heading back to Brund Province, Flora clutched onto the packet desperately. She did not loosen her grip for a split second and was constantly o n alert. She was even reluctant to blink her eyes, fearful that thugs or thieves might take the money away.

Halfway through the journey, her eyes began to turn extremely dry. A strange scent cloyed her nose, inducing her to slip into unconsciousness. 3

When the train arrived at the station, the conductor woke the family of three up.
