The ultimate husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 14 – “Think carefully, Lily. Think about how much scorn and ridicule you had to face since marrying Darryl,” Samantha said coldly. “We’ve provided him food and clothes during the three years of your marriage to him. At least he has the decency to repay the favor by lending us money to help with the company’s five million deficit. We’re even now and all I want is for you to leave that loser.”

“Mom… ” Lily bit her lip.

“Also, Ashton called me and said that he’d attend your grandma’s birthday,” Samantha continued. “He said he prepared an amazing gift that your grandma will love. You can and should be with him if grandma takes a liking to him.”

As she was talking, she saw a man coming over from some distance away. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he held a suitcase in his hand. The person was Wentworth, Lily’s father.

Lily and Samantha went over to welcome him. The family of three then chatted and laughed all the way out of the airport.

Back home, Samantha cooked a sumptuous meal. Cooking was usually Darryl’s duty and she had not cooked in a long time, so it was unsurprising that she could maintain her appearance so well at her age.

At the dinner table, Samantha asked Wentworth how life was abroad.

Wentworth remarked that his life was uninteresting, other than three meals a day in high-class hotels and daily business discussions with the richest men in the region. He hyped up his stories, and as he spoke, he took out a check and scribbled on it before handing it to Samantha.

50 million!

Samantha grinned from ear-to-ear when she saw the check!

‘Hahaha, our days of suffering have finally come to an end! He took out a fifty million check like it was nothing!’

“I heard a few days ago that your company was facing some problems, Lilybud. Something about a shortage of five million?” Wentworth looked at Lily and said, “I was worried about you when your mother called me the other day, but at that time, my funds were still strapped in the stock market. There was no way I could have helped you, but it’s all good now though. I’ve cashed the money out.”

Wentworth scribbled on another check while talking.

“Here’s another check for fifty million.” Wentworth chuckled and said, “By the way, the check I’ve given you can’t be cashed in right away. You can only do so in a week as the check will only take effect after I leave the country.”

Was there such a requirement?

Samantha bought his statements despite having some doubts and nodded repeatedly with a smile.
