Chapter 18 Feigned Discomfort

• “I have some cash with me.” Carson retrieved the cash in his wallet for me, which I took without hesitation. When I was about to count them, he handed me a bank card as he said, “Honey, you should stop spending your own money on unnecessary stuff. You can ask me for money, so you should save your money for yourself.”
• He sounded so righteous when he said that, so I took the card from him, looking all grateful. “Honey, you’re the best!”
• “Darling, I know you had to endure a lot of hardships ever since you married me. Both my mother and sister are quite greedy, so I know they have been hard on you.” As he apologized, he extended his arm in an attempt to hug me, while I suppressed the urge to shove him away.
