Chapter 13

The bedroom door wasn’t closed tightly, and Mila’s voice was a little loud, so Chaucer heard her clearly in the living room.

Chaucer was a little surprised. Mila actually gave up her job to stay at home and take care of him. She even quarreled with her manager.

Before Chaucer married Mila, he investigated her background in the entertainment industry. She had no scandals, but her resources were also very poor. All her roles were very small.

After hanging up, Mila walked out with a displeased expression. Only then did she realize Chaucer was back. She immediately said, “Chaucer, rest for a while. I’ll make us some dinner now.”

Mila’s voice wasn’t as gentle as it was this morning. With a hint of grievance, she lowered her head and entered the kitchen.

Chaucer followed her into the kitchen and leaned against the door. “Are you in trouble?”

Mila lowered her head and cut the vegetables. She shook her head and said in a muffled voice, “It’s just a small matter. Don’t worry.”

Chaucer was injured because of her, but if she accepted this role, she would need to join the production team for a month and wouldn’t be able to take care of him. Today, she had already promised to stay at home to take care of him until he recovered. She couldn’t go back on her word.

Mila didn’t want to share her work with Chaucer. It was her unnecessary emotion and would affect his mood if she told him.

Seeing that Mila didn’t want to say anything, Chaucer didn’t ask further. He went back to his room to check on Mila’s company.

Big Dipper Entertainment was only a medium-sized entertainment company in the country. Most of the artists signed by them were D-list ones, and only a few of them often appeared in the public eye.

Mila’s manager, Jane, was infamous for having a bad character. She often took her signed actors to her clients’ dinner parties and even forced the female actors to entertain the clients.

Chaucer’s face darkened after reading the comments and gossip online.

How could an innocent and gentle woman like Mila follow a manager? Not only did she have poor resources, but Jane might even make her drunk and send her to some man’s bed.

No matter what, Mila was his wife. He couldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Half an hour later, Mila brought the dishes to the table and knocked lightly on the door. “Chaucer, dinner is ready.”

“Coming!”

Chaucer pushed open the bedroom door to walk to the dining table.

The dishes that Mila made today were very light. There were stir-fried asparagus, spiced beef, and rib soup with lotus roots. They were as delicious as ever.

Chaucer quickly finished the bowl of soup, took out a bank card, and handed it to Mila. “That’ll cover the groceries. I’ll transfer 1,500 dollars into that card every month.”

“I don’t need it. I have money to buy groceries.”

Mila immediately turned it down. Although she was very poor, she still had the money to buy groceries. Now that she didn’t need to rent a house, she could save some money. Overall, she was richer than before.

Chaucer put down his chopsticks and said seriously, “We’re husband and wife now, and you’re taking care of me at home. You can’t go out to work, so I should pay for your expenses. However, I’m in the early stages of my business, and I’m very tight on funds. I can only give you 1,500 a month.”

Actually, 1,500 dollars wasn’t much to Chaucer, but in order to maintain his image, he could only give her that much. It was enough to buy groceries.

Mila didn’t refuse anymore and put away the bank card. It made sense. She and Chaucer were already husband and wife. Why did she have to be so careful about the money? She should be happy that he had the ability to give her money to spend.

After dinner, Mila got up to clean up the dishes, while Chaucer went into the bedroom and called Jason to discuss the acquisition of Big Dipper Entertainment.

Jane was the cousin of the company’s boss. She entered the company after college and had done many bad things over the years. Actors complained about her and exposed her deeds online, but they were all suppressed by the boss of the company.

As long as the owner of the entertainment company didn’t change, Jane’s status wouldn’t be shaken. After thinking about it, Chaucer decided to acquire this company. After that, Mila would be able to work under his nose.

…

For the next week, Mila lived a comfortable married life. She cooked for Chaucer every day, took some videos and photos, and posted them online. The caption was “making a few delicious meals for an unwell member of my family”.

As usual, she was well-liked by her followers. Everyone jokingly called her “the woman a man wants to marry the most”. Many followers thanked her for sharing the photos and said their family members happened to be sick as well. They could cook the same things for them.

While Mila was living a carefree life, Big Dipper Entertainment suddenly had a new boss. The entire company was shocked.
