Chapter 97
At Moira’s request, the two of them went to a relatively affordable restaurant and got a private room. After sharing four dishes, they left feeling
content.
Virgil needed to return to work, but despite Moira insisting he didn’t need to drop her off, he went ahead and drove her home. Once they arrived, he parked the car and also carried her luggage upstairs.
Moira had been in a relationship with Austin for five years, but it was her
er first time experiencing being cherished and cared for by a man. It made her feel genuinely happy.
When the elevator doors opened, she followed behind Virgil, his broad back giving her a sense of security
Without pulling out a key, Virgil entered the passcode to unlock the door. He carried the luggage inside while Moira slipped on her house slippers and followed him
“Aren’t you going to be late for work? Just give me the luggage. I can unpack it myself. Moira said.
Virgil handed her the suitcase but called out before she entered her room. “Moira.”
The woman turned to look at him as he pulled two vouchers from his pocket and handed
d them to h
to her
These were dining vouchers for Grain Palace, which she had asked him to help get earlier that morning.
Moira immediately unlocked her phone and opened her payment app. “I only need one. How much were these? Let me transfer the money to you.”
Virgil’s expression darkened slightly. “Do you really have to settle things to precisely with me?
Moira froze, looking up at the man’s gloomy face. She stammered. “My friend wanted it, so she’ll definitely pay
y me. I’m just covering it for now?
“After marriage, all income is considered joint property. There’s no need to transfer me anything. Virgil replied flatly,
Moira thought, “Er… that’s indeed how the law works:
Still hesitant, she glanced at the two vouchers in front of her and said, “But these must be quite expensive. If Zea sends me the money, wouldn’t that mean I’ve profited from you?”
Virgil said nonchalandy, “You’re my wife. Even if you did, what’s the problem””
The casual way he said it sent a wave of warmth through Moira. She eventually took the vouchers but returned one. I just need one. You should
return the other.
“That one’s for you too,” Virgil said without hesitation. “You can use it to dine with your friend”
Moira blinked at him, surprised by his generosity and thoughtfulness.
As she tilted her head, the mark hidden beneath her hairline became visible. It was a mark Virgil had left the night before. Only he knew why he had been so insistent on sending her back home.
“Zea’s doing a live stream, and I don’t want to eat in front of so many people. So, you should return this Moirs said, pressing the extra voucher back into his hand.
She added with a serious face, “Virgil, you’ve said before we’re both adults. Marriage is about building a life together, and splurging like this once in a while is enough. You don’t need to buy these things to make me happy. I’m doing fine as I am.”
Virgil wasn’t short on money and genuinely wanted to come clean with her, but every time he saw her saving money and planning for their future life together, he couldn’t help but savor the warmth it brought.

Mogra nodded with a bright smile. Then, suddenly, she stood on her tiptoes, booked her arms around his neck, and leaned up to plant a soft kiss on
