“But it’s okay-” Alice saw the somber look on Daniel’s face and recalled that he did not come from a well-off family. He probably
did not like her extravagance.
She was wondering if she should change the topic when Daniel handed her a card.
“This is my credit card. Use it when you do your shopping next time!”
Alice took a look at the card and pushed it away. “There’s no need. Your monthly income isn’t high. It would be too difficult
financially for you.
“I can take care of the household expenses temporarily.”
“Do you think I am like a boy toy you are keeping?” Daniel said unhappily when Alice did not accept the card. “We are married,
after all. You have no reason to deal with all the household expenses alone.
“Besides, I’m the one with three sons. Why don’t you hold on to this first? I’ll be getting a promotion next month. When I get a
salary increase, I will give cash, not a credit card.”
Seeing how stubborn he was on the matter, Alice decided to accept the card for his sake. “I’ll hold on to it then. If I run out of
spending money, I’ll use yours.”
“Sure.”
“Oh yeah, the children and you don’t have any clothes. I have instructed Candice to buy some for all of you when she does her
shopping,” Alice told him.
“Okay, that’s up to you.” Daniel nodded. He initially wanted to tell her to use his credit card, but he remembered he was
pretending to be a white-collar employee, She probably would not use his card at all. Thus, he did not mention it.
“I’ve got an event for a brand next Wednesday. They’ll be giving out some free footwear. Let me know the foot sizes for your
sisters and your parents. I will get free ones for them.”
Alice still remembered how impoverished her sisters-in-law had appeared.
Daniel’s brows snapped into a frown. “There’s no need. They have shoes.”
“Their shoes are worn. It is time to get new ones.” Alice was afraid that he might misunderstand and thus explained, “I’m not
being extravagant and buying new ones for everyone. They are sponsored by the brand.
“I have always received freebies from these brands but could never finish using them. I could only use a small portion of them.
Now that I’m married to you, it’s different.
“Your family isn’t well-to-do. I can bring home more freebies, and everyone can use it. You don’t want your sisters to wear
tattered clothes, do you?”
Daniel realized she was sincerely being considerate to his family. In the end, he said, “Okay, but there’s no need for too many.”
There was a good possibility that they would all be thrown away otherwise.
While they spoke, Aidy, who had been looking on from the side, filmed their entire discussion and sent it to the family group chat.
Rachel was the first to respond: [Tsk! Look at how considerate my sister-in-law is. She knows I don’t have nice clothes and wants
to get nice ones for me!]
Marie was delighted too. [Watch how thrifty and wise she is when it comes to managing the household. How lucky Daniel is to
have married her!]
Alfred replied to the chat too. [Rachel, speak with Daniel about us meeting Alice. It is time!]
Rachel answered: [Yes, grandfather, grandmother. When you have gotten the house ready, we will meet with Alice! Don’t forget
to act according to the script!]
The Kaur family members replied with a resounding yes.
After dinner, Alice changed Benny’s bandages before returning to her room to read the script.
As she closed the door, she recalled how Daniel had budged in earlier. She went ahead and locked the door.
Daniel had just finished his shower and saw Alice lock the door to her bedroom. A dark gleam flashed across his eyes.
Was she safeguarding herself against him?
In the next moment, Daniel also turned and locked the door to his room.

The next day arrived.
Alice sent the children to Rachel’s temporarily erected food stall and went to Studio City.
She had just finished putting on her make-up when she overheard other women in the crew chatting away. Eavesdropping, Alice
heard them mention that the second male lead had arrived on set.
