''If you''re so unwilling toe out with me, just stay home next time,'' thought Debra.


    Juan ignored her and suddenly elerated the car. "Transfer the money you spent today to meter."


    Debra frowned. "You dragged me out and expect me to foot the bill?"


    "It''s all for show," he replied.


    "What''s wrong with a husband spending a little on his wife?"


    "You said it, contractual spouses."


    Debra was speechless.


    She had hoped to take advantage of Juan, but it seemed she had overestimated her position.


    A shrewd businessman like Juan would never ept losses.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Tightwad!" Debra took a deep breath.


    She told herself not to get mad. She didn''t want to owe him anything anyway, and money wasn''t an issue for her.


    Back at their house, Debra''s phone beeped incessantly with news notifications, each one apanied by photos of her and Juan shopping together.


    They went like #Sweet Nichols Couple Shopping Together, #Romance in Real Life: Tycoon CEO Spoils His Wife, etc.


    Among these headlines, one particrly annoyed her.


    #Tycoon CEO Spends Lavishly on His Wife.


    "Lavish? With me paying?"


    She nced at Juan, who was washing his hands in the kitchen. "I''ve been tight on fundstely, so..."


    "It''s okay, you can pay in installments," he said.


    Debra felt stifled, cing her bank card on the table. "Here!"


    She regretted buying that expensive ne now. It really hurt her wallet.


    Juan acknowledged it tly.


    "Do you n to cook?" she asked.


    "Or what else?"


    He had already given Sophie a vacation, and he couldn''t possibly eat the meals cooked by Debra. ''Are they even edible?''


    Debra could tell from his expression that he had doubts about her cooking skills.


    But she didn''t care. She''d rather not cook and enjoy her leisure time.


    Meanwhile, in the dormitory, She also saw the trending news.


    Juan and Debra were happily shopping together.


    Even though they both wore masks in the photos, she recognized them immediately.


    "I want a tycoon CEO husband too. It must be so blissful," Carrie gushed, oblivious to Juan and Debra''s Identities.


    Wendy sighed. "Be realistic. Ordinary folks like us will never meet a CEO like that. At best, we''d work for some balding old man."


    "Says who? Shelia''s boyfriend is handsome and rich. He''s a tycoon."


    Carrie hugged Shelia. "Shelia, when you be a rich wife, don''t forget about us!"


    Shelia forced a smile, feeling uneasy.


    No one in the dorm knew that her so-called boyfriend was Juan. He used to avoid magazines and major media, buttely, he''d been on the news frequently. If Carrie and Wendy recognized him, her lies would be exposed. As long as Debra was at Arcane Academy, Shelia couldn''t rx.


    She bit her lip, determined to drive Debra away.
