What would outsiders think if they found out?
Carlisle chuckled and said, “Regardless, this money came to me unexpectedly. Let’s just enjoy ourselves
with it.”
He entered his phone number into the phone with the SIM card Installed and made a call. The phone in his pocket rang.
Carlisle handed the phone to Hilda. “Mom, give it a try and see if it works!”
Hilda got up and made her way to the bathroom. “Let me wash my hands.”
The handiwork she did involved assembling hardware. Her hands were coated in lubricating oil.
She didn’t want to dirty such an expensive phone.
After washing her hands, Hilda took the phone and attempted to make a call.
Carlisle went to his bedroom to converse with her on the phone.
“Mom, can you hear me?”
“Yes. I can hear you!” Hilda’s voice quivered with excitement. Her eyes brimmed with indescribable joy.
Gordon only had a second–hand PHS phone. Hilda hadn’t even used that PHS phone herself.
She felt quite nervous about suddenly using such a high–end and expensive phone.
“Do you like this gift? In the future, I’ll make sure you and Dad live in a mansion, drive luxury cars-” Carlisle said, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as he lay on the carpet.
Hilda’s eyes grew slightly moist. “Silly boy, you mustn’t spend money recklessly in the future!”
Carlisle went silent for a long time.
Hilda pushed open his bedroom door to find him already asleep. He had probably stayed up all night.
Shaking her head, Hilda closed the door gently.
“Honey, is our son home?” Gordon suddenly entered from outside.
Hilda’s brow furrowed slightly. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
Gordon sighed, “Maintenance on the circuits, so I’m off today!”
was currently employed part–time on a piece–rate basis. A day off meant no income.
“Why did you go grocery shopping so early today? Why did you buy so much? Are we expecting guests Gordon asked, puzzled, as he observed the table filled with groceries.
Just as he finished speaking, his eyes fell on a white gift box on the table. His pupils dilated suddenly.

“Which bastard gave you this?” he asked with wide eyes.
It was a Motorola Razr V3. His boss had purchased one just two days ago for over 4000 dollars.
And the groceries on the table cost at least 100 dollars. It was hard for him to not speculate.
twice, and her tone turned cold instantly. “Gordon, what are your

implying?”
Only then did Gordon notice that Hilda also held a cell phone in her hand. Another gift box sat on the
coffee table.
If it was from another man, why would there be two?
Hilda glared at Gordon. “If you don’t explain yourself today, I won’t let this slide!”
They had been married since they were 18, for over 20 years. She had never imagined Gordon would ever
doubt her.
Gordon realized he had overreacted and slapped his own face. “Hilda, don’t be angry! I spoke without
thinking!”
His insecurities about not earning much money in the past two years often led to wild thoughts. Seeing such an expensive phone, he immediately thought other men were interested in his wife.
Hilda recounted the whole story about Carlisle selling game equipment to Gordon.
Like Hilda’s previous reaction, Gordon didn’t believe it at all. He rose from his seat, intending to wake
Carlisle for interrogation.
“You better sit down!”
Hilda held Gordon back angrily. “Can you stop this nasty habit of yours? Stop making wild guesses before you know the truth!”
Once Gordon calmed down, he pulled out his PHS phone to call a manager from his previous company.
“Lewis, do you play The Legendary Tale?”
“Yeah. Gordon, are you thinking of playing too?”
Gordon cleared his throat. “It crossed my mind. Can you make money with this game? I heard someone sold a piece of equipment for over 30 thousand!” he asked tactfully.
