Trapped with a Doctor

Chapter 323 Do You Want to Manage the Household Budgets

Initially, Aron had intended to buy red roses and white roses. But he was told by the flower girl that

yellow roses mean, "Enjoying the time spent with you."

So he bought 99 yellow roses straightaway.

Martha's heart started racing when she saw Aron holding a bouquet of yellow roses. There was a lot

going on inside her.

'What brings him here? Why does he have all those flowers? Is his new lover someone in the Ji

Group? Who is she then? And what about Judy?'

As the crowd cheered, Aron walked and stopped right in front of her. She looked up at him with

astonishment. "You..."

Aron smiled and said, "Honey, I'm here to pick you up."

Martha did not notice, that he was holding the flowers tighter and tighter because of he was getting

more and more nervous. It was the first time he had bought her flowers, and he wondered whether she

would like it or not.

Martha quickly came to her senses and tried to calm down. She blushed and turned to the man beside

her, "Mr. Zhang, I am so sorry… but my husband is here to pick me up. I'm afraid I've got to go now."

The Mr. Zhang Martha just mentioned had insisted on inviting her to dinner. Aron's arrival freed her

from it since she didn't want to go to dinner with him in the first place.

She then accepted the flowers and looked at Mr. Zhang apologetically.

Aron didn't know the man, but the man had recognized Aron. He was surprised to know that Martha's

husband was Aron. But he let out a smile shortly after and said, "Nice to see you, Mr. Gu. I am Tomas

from the Ascendas Company. We've worked together before..."

Regardless of the prestige of the Gu family, the Gu Group was a leading company in J City. So there

were very few people who did not know who Aron was.

Aron pondered for a while, but he couldn't recall having worked together with this man. He nodded

lightly, pulled Martha into his arms and said to Tomas, "If you will excuse us."

Tomas nodded vigorously, and watched them get into the car, bowing and scraping.

While they were in the car, Martha held onto the flowers tightly. She could barely keep them together

because there were so many of them.

"Do you like it?" Aron asked and read Martha's expression.

Her response had really pleased him. Martha shyly nodded her head. Her mouth curled into a smile,

"Very much..." she replied.

It was the first time she had received flowers from him. She had stars in her eyes.

"Let's go and have dinner. I have already booked us a table, " Aron said.

Martha turned to look at him, "But what about Wanda?" She hadn't had the time to spend with her

daughter all day.

"Don't worry; she will be taken care of at home, " Aron comforted. "We will go home right after dinner."

"… Alright, " said Martha. 'What on earth is wrong with him today? Why is he being so nice to me all of

a sudden? Is it because I am… sick?

No… I've been sick before, but he has never acted this way.' Martha was confused.

They enjoyed a candlelight dinner at the Lapis Sky Garden. Aron had booked the entire restaurant, so

that they could spend their happy hours undisturbed.

After dinner, Aron casually pulled Martha to his chest and asked, "Tell me what's on your mind."

Martha had been looking at him thoughtfully throughout the night. She must have some questions in

mind for him.

Sniffing Aron's scent, Martha bowed her head to hide her shyness and asked, "Is there… anything you

want from me?"

Aron raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"For example… anything I can help you with?" Martha inquired. Although, she realized that there might

be very little she could do to help him.

Could it be that…

Martha stopped dead, as if struck by a sudden idea. She then turned pale and stared at Aron.

"What are you thinking about? I am not in any trouble, " Aron said. He came to realize that he hadn't

been nice enough to her all this time. That was why she felt so uneasy about his sudden display of love

and affection.

Martha bit her lip, "Are you ... going to ask me to give up on you?"

Her last word was followed by a dead silence.

Or rather, Aron's silence.

Just when Martha was expecting his wrath, she heard Aron said calmly and clearly, "I have no other

woman or affair. I know that it was Lulu who secretly investigated Judy and got her fired. I have done

you wrong…"

At this point, Aron was a little upset. Why didn't she try to clear up the misunderstanding when he

accused her for something she didn't do?

'He has no affairs with another woman?' Martha was very pleasantly surprised to hear that from him.

No, it couldn't be. She must be still running a fever. All of Aron's gentleness towards her was nothing

but her imagination. He had seldom been so kind to her anyway.

Besides, their relation had been at its most distant because of Judy's presence.

"Okay..." Martha said after a long pause of silence.

Aron was a bit irritated at her response. Was that all she had wanted to say?

If she was not going to speak out, then he would, "How much money does your father's company

need?"

Martha said nothing for a while, then she shook her head, "It doesn't need any right now." She didn't

want their relation to be built on money anymore.

If possible, she would not ask him for any money in the future.

Aron looked up in the sky and sighed. So she didn't even want his money anymore?

A short time later, he took out his phone and called his assistant. He ordered, in Martha's presence,

"Find out how much debt the Ji Group is in, as soon as possible."

Martha didn't expect him to order an investigation and immediately said, "There is no need, Aron. I'll tell Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

you if the company ever needs money."

Aron cast her a glance, and hung up the phone without saying a word.

The assistant had figured out Aron's intentions upon hearing Martha's words on the line.

Martha took a deep breath and said, "It's… sixty million."

Sixty million was a huge amount of money, so she had never mentioned it to Aron before.

She had only asked for millions every time her father was in need of money, but merely as a stopgap.

Sixty-million was almost a small fortune for Aron, but it was also something he could easily afford. He

would be none the worse for giving her the money.

Aron had roughly estimated the Ji Group's accounts. He was expecting a bigger deficit, so he had

prepared a hundred million for her.

He took out a bank card from his wallet, passed it on to Martha and said, "My father-in-law is actually

business-minded; he was only deceived by your stepmother. Give him sixty million, and the rest is for

you to keep."

"Don't…"

Aron knew she would refuse. He grabbed her hand before she could finish, thrust the card into her

hand and said, "Let's just say I lent it to your father. As to the rest of it… isn't it God's truth, that a

husband is to give his money to his wife?"

The warmth from his hand made her tremble. She could feel the card right between their palms. "Yes,

but…"

"No buts. Or do you want more? Do you want to manage the household budgets?" He looked at her

teasingly.

Martha shook her head quickly, "No, that's not what I mean…" She secretly pinched herself and tried to

calm down.

Martha was usually a very calm and collected person, when she didn't have to face Aron. But in his

presence, she would simply start to tremble or lose her breath.
