Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 29

Samuel’s expression froze when he heard the owner's words. There was no surprise-hut there was a problem. It was a serious conundrum, having to explain everything to Yvonne.

"Do you have any experience with hiding your inheritance, sir?" he asked the owner. "How would you explain it if you got found out?"

The owner suddenly cackled aloud. "You've come to the right person," he said. "It requires great skill to hide your inheritance. And I have no experience in this field of expertise."

Samuel rolled his eyes. He had been taking the old man seriously, and he was just pulling his leg.

The owner's expression turned just as awkward as his. "Why do we men earn money? It's to let our wives spend it," he continued. "How could anyone do such a heinous thing like hide their inheritance? Take me for example. I never had a thought like this cross my mind.

"We slave our entire lives to make our woman happy, n o? In the past, King You of the Chinese Zhou dynasty waged wars against warlords for the sake of Bao Si's smile. Wu Sangui betrayed the Ming dynasty for the Qing dynasty, for the sake of Chen Yuanyuan. Since ancient times, heroes have fallen at the feet of beauties. And we, my boy, are heroes too."

The owner chuckled, grinning. He wiped at his forehead awkwardly.

It was time. Samuel drove the car to the entrance of the office.

Yvonne stepped out of her office and saw another Audi, and she was stunned in her tracks.

"You... How did you manage to get the car back?" Yvonne asked, unable to believe her eyes. She was well aware of her mother's temperament. Once she decided on having a new car, no one could ever convince her otherwise. Additionally, Samuel was an insignificant figure in Lydia’s eyes. How did he manage to pull something like this off? There were miracles in this world, but a miracle like this certainly did not happen because of her mother.

"Let’s talk in the car," Samuel said.

Yvonne felt like she was in a dream. Did her mother finally come to her senses? Was she finally regarding Samuel with respect?

"What happened? Tell me," Yvonne pressed him immediately once she got onto the car. If her mother had truly changed her perspective toward her husband, she would be extremely happy.

"Ahem," Samuel cleared his throat. "Do you believe in luck?" he asked.

"Luck? Luck can’t convince my mother," Yvonne said.

"Audi was having a lucky draw when I bought the car yesterday. I happened to win, so they had a buy one free one deal for me," Samuel said smoothly. 2
