She dropped her voice even lower, subtly siding with Hilliard.


    “I’ve always heard that you adore your wife and have turned into a total devotee.


    Does she have you on a tight budget? Are you trying to make Hilliard pay you, to supplement your personal money without Lucinda’s knowledge?”


    Lucinda was only sleeping lightly and despite Jennifer’s hushed tone, she caught a few crucial words through her drowsiness.


    She sleepily lifted her head and gazed at Nathan with half-closed eyes.


    “I’m also curious to know why you’re charging Hilliard tuition.


    Are you trying to stash away some money privately?”


    Caught off guard, Nathan was at a loss for words and his expression turned rigid.


    Facing the curious gazes of all three people at once, Nathan leaned close to Lucinda and whispered, “I just want to help Hilliard gain some experience in wooing Jennifer.


    ”


    Lucinda suppressed herughter, gently stroking Nathan’s handsome face.


    She then turned to Hilliard and Jennifer seated across from them.


    “My loving husband would never hide any money from me.


    I’ve never had to control his finances.


    He’s incredibly self-disciplined and never spends extravagantly unless it’s to surprise me with little gifts.


    I’m sure he was joking with Hilliard.


    ”


    Pleased, Nathan nuzzled his nose against Lucinda’s.


    “Honey, you know me best.


    ”


    Despite being a couple themselves, Hilliard and Jennifer watched the affectionate disy withplex emotions.


    Hilliard, especially, furrowed his brows, his difort with the situation evident.

    suggested.


    Lucinda objected, “Typically, the most popr stalls in the street alleys offer the most delectable vors.


    While the five-star hotels are the most hygienic and provide top-notch service, they oftenck that authentic deliciousness.


    Since we’re here, we should savor the local cuisine and immerse ourselves in the culture of Tysonia.


    ”


    Nathan, holding Lucinda’s hand, chimed in, “My wife is right.


    ”


    Jennifer concurred, “The streets are so vibrant and full of life.


    Dining at arge hotel would undoubtedly be dull and lonely.


    I also believe the streets are a better choice, plus we can capture some unique photos.


    ”


    With everyone siding with Lucinda, Hilliard had nothing more to say and silently followed the twodies.


    On the bustling streets, Lucinda ordered two servings of pineapple fried rice, while Jennifer chose the characteristic Tom Yum Goong soup and curry noodles.


    Nathan and Hilliard, following obediently, refrained from ordering anything for themselves, content to share whatever Lucinda and Jennifer chose.


    If thedies couldn’t finish their meals, Nathan and Hilliard were there to help clear the leftovers.


    The afternoon shopping atmosphere was quite harmonious.


    Contrary to what Nathan and Hilliard had expected, they found themselves reduced to mere human baggage carriers and tag-alongs.
