Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 76

Back at home, Lydia sprawled over the couch in a lifeless fashion, whereas Godfrey was staring at the T V gloomily. Two unfinished bowls of porridge and a plate of pickled vegetables sat on the table.

Yvonne's anger spiked when she took in the scene. Could they not take care of themselves without Samuel? Did they really want him to make their meals for the rest of their lives?

"Mom, don’t tell me that you forgot how to cook after not going into the kitchen for a few years? Are you going to starve to death when Samuel doesn't fix your meals anymore?" Yvonne lamented as she cleared the table.

Lydia refused to say anything. Her husband loosened a resigned sigh. "She's stewing over that two hundred thousand," he said. "She even said that our living expenses will have to be halved."

Lydia immediately sprang into life when the word ' money' was mentioned. "From now on, you'll only get five hundred bucks for living expenses," she said to Samuel in a commanding tone.

"Five hundred?" Yvonne stormed out from the kitchen. How on earth was a family of four going to live on five hundred a month? Were they going to eat bland, tasteless porridge for every meal?

"Mom, don't be ridiculous. How can we live on only five hundred a month?" Yvonne said.

"How is it not enough? It'll be fine as long as you budget yourselves properly," her mother replied carelessly. "Besides, he has never spent a single cent o n the house after all these years. He should at least use his savings to buy some of our daily supplies."

Yvonne’s face purpled with rage. It was she who gave the money, and now she was pinning the blame on Samuel. What nonsense was this?

"All right then. Since you're so good at budgeting, you budget it yourself. He won't cook anymore,” Yvonne said.

Lydia glared at her daughter. "I'm in a bad mood now. Don’t you dare provoke me," she said. "Just leave me b e. Anyway, what's he going to do if he doesn't cook? Become a couch potato?"

Yvonne wanted to retort, but she was held back by her husband.

She wanted to protest even more when she saw Samuel shaking his head.
