Nathaniel Nathan knew he could wait. He could wait until she completely opened her heart to him and willingly told him her secrets.

Vera Xavier turned to look at him. He pulled his wallet from his pocket and handed it to her. "Money for the household."
Vera was a little surprised. She looked up at him as he said coolly, "Take it."
She instantly understood that he wanted to provide for her. In both her past life and this one, this was the first time anyone had given her money like this. The feeling was a bit strange, but it was also wonderful!
She looked at him, then at his wallet. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously. He wasn't the easiest person to get along with, but his feelings for her were absolutely genuine.
She didn't stand on ceremony and took the wallet from him. A quick glance inside revealed a thick wad of hundred-yuan bills—it had to be several thousand yuan.
