Ask Your Mom for More Money
Leia fumbled in her pockets. “I… I don’t have much on me. I only have 1,000 left. I got these from my
mom just now.”
Luke grabbed the money from her and spat, “Did you make a trip to a hospital just for this pitiful 1,000?
How good is this sum? Do you know that we’ll need tens of thousands to bail them out? Go to your mom
and ask for more!”
She lowered her head. “Hubby, my mom is still in the hospital.”
Yet her boyfriend showed no compassion but glared at her instead. “What do you mean? Are you
complaining that they were too harsh on your mom? How many times have I told you? Your mom was
rude to you, and that’s why we wanted to teach her a lesson. We never thought of actually hurting her!
We didn’t expect the motorcycle to go out of control and run into her! Are you telling me that I did
something wrong?”
Hurriedly, Leia waved at him to calm him down. “H-Hubby, I didn’t mean that. I really didn’t mean that.
What I’m saying is my mom doesn’t have money either. The 1,000 is from my Aunt Helen…”
He exploded in anger. “Well, ask your Aunt Helen for more!”
She looked embarrassed. “Hubby, I-I am not that close to Aunt Helen. Plus, my mom is still looking into
the 13,000 I took from home to bail your friends out.”
Regardless of the explanation, the man did not seem to compromise. “It was just 13,000! What’s the big
deal? Didn’t I promise that I’d pay you back along with the interest when I get rich later? Why… Why
have you changed?” He did not stop there, but continued saying, “You’re my woman. You should know
that I have always kept my promise. If I say I’ll pay you back, I will definitely do that. Aren’t you tired of
nagging me about that 13,000?”
She kept her head low and dared not speak.
After throwing a fit, he waved his hand to dismiss her. “Get lost! Go back to your campus! The sight of
you annoys me. If I had not gone to the hospital with you, there wouldn’t be so much trouble after! You’re
a jinx!”
With a pale face, she gritted her teeth and sank into a long silence before muttering, “Hubby, they…
They claimed that you flirted with a girl at the hospital—”
Slap! He instantly slapped her across the face and berated, “What do you mean by that? Do you not trust
me? If so, why don’t we break up right away? Sounds good?”
His suggestion to break up didn’t sit too well with her, and while shaking her head in denial, she didn’t
look too good. “No, hubby, I didn’t mean that… I-I was just asking if we should sue them for slander?”
He waved his hand again impatiently. “That’s enough. Shut up! I will deal with those problems. You get
lost now! Oh, by the way, try to get some money to bail out Troy and the others. Gosh, I’ve never seen a
woman as stupid as you!”
He left the scene while still cursing her under his breath.
Words were stuck in Leia’s throat, but she finally gave up and said nothing as she turned to leave. She
touched her pocket and realized that she only had a few dollar bills left. When she unlocked her phone,
all the personal loan apps were reminding her to make her repayments.
She was instantly gripped by a sense of hopelessness. In the end, she didn’t even take the public bus
and opted to walk back to campus instead.
All the while, she was feeling lost about her finances. The money she had left was not enough for a
meal. What should I do next?
As for Luke, he immediately hailed a cab and left for a shower and spa facility to clean himself up. Soon,
he almost spent all of the 1,000 from Leia.
