Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 788:

Burnet nonchalantly scratched his nose and remarked, “Let’s not worry about the future just yet. For now, we should concentrate on falling in love.”

They say that when it comes to love, a woman’s intelligence can plummet dramatically. At that moment, Silver Fox was the perfect example. Despite her cleverness, Silver Fox had been smoothly coaxed by Burnet into marriage, and now she found his words reasonable, blissfully ignorant of the deeper snare she was entangling herself in.

She nodded in agreement. “We can think about that later, but don’t get too excited. I might not end up falling for you.”

Burnet simply smiled, choosing not to comment on her statement. Instead, he extended a hand, offering her a key. “This is for our home.”

Caught off guard, Silver Fox hesitated, still adjusting to the reality that she was now married and would be sharing a home with a man. Despite her discomfort, acceptance was the only option. She was married to this man.

Regaining her composure, she took the key, thinking she indeed needed a place to stay in Blebert, and this would save her from hotel expenses.

Holding the key, she cautiously said, “This is for the Hoffman Manor, isn’t it? But I think I’ll hold off on moving in for now. I’m not ready to start living with your family just yet.”

“It’s not the key to the Hoffman Manor. That place has plenty of servants who would open the doors for you any time after recognizing you as Mrs. Hoffman,” Burnet said. “This key is for our own home. Just the two of us, no servants.”

“Our own home?” Silver Fox looked at him in astonishment. “You’ve got our own home sorted out so soon?”

“Ahem!” Burnet cleared his throat awkwardly. “Actually, I’ve had it ready for quite some time.”

Indeed, Burnet had prepared their home long ago, eagerly anticipating the day he would find her, win her heart, and they would start their life together. That day had finally arrived.

Unaware of the full story, Silver Fox couldn’t resist teasing him, “You really are something, setting up a home for a wife you didn’t even have yet.”

Burnet chose not to correct her and let the teasing slide. “When we get there, take a look around. See if there’s anything you’d like to add. I’ll get you a personal assistant as well. Whatever you need, just have them handle it. Feel free to spend as you wish with the secondary card I gave you.”

He then quickly signed a check for a billion dollars and passed it to her.

Silver Fox, a woman with a keen love for wealth, couldn’t hide her astonishment when presented with a billion-dollar check. Her eyes widened in disbelief. However, her surprise quickly faded, and she declined the check, wary of Burnet’s intention.

“Why are you offering me this check?” she inquired.

“Isn’t it customary for a husband to provide for his wife?” Burnet responded.

“In a typical marriage, yes, a husband might give his wife money,” Silver Fox retorted. “But ours is more of a partnership, not a typical marriage. It doesn’t sit right with me, receiving such a large amount just after we’ve signed the marriage papers.”noveldrama

Burnet explained calmly, “Although we aren’t a typical couple, didn’t we agree to strive towards love? Consider this money a gesture towards that goal. You’re adept at spending money. I thought you’d appreciate it.”

Yet, Silver Fox remained resolute in her decision not to accept the check. “I already possess your secondary card, which suffices for any purchases I wish to make. Accepting this check too seems excessive.”

“It’s not excessive,” Burnet countered, smiling. “The secondary card is limited to purchases only. It doesn’t allow funds transfers to your account. Think of this money as a wedding gift, meant for your personal account.”

Silver Fox’s heart raced with excitement. Did tycoons always shower women with such generosity? With his secondary card, she could already purchase anything her heart desired. Moreover, he was tossing in additional money. No mere trifle, but a sum so substantial it felt as though a windfall had smashed into her face.

The opulent lifestyle of the wealthy was beyond her comprehension, yet she was eager to get used to it. With a resolve to embrace this new world, she flashed a grateful smile and delicately tucked the check into her purse. Her eyes sparkling with delight, she turned to Burnet and said, “Thank you, honey.”

Burnet’s heart nearly melted at the sound of her calling him “honey.” Silver Fox had a natural allure, and even a casual smile from her was captivating. Hearing her sweet, gentle voice, Burnet felt like he was about to lose control.

A sudden dryness in his throat compelled him, and he found himself leaning in for another kiss
