The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 644 Generous Nico

Just like that, Caleb watched as the two-and-a-half million disappeared before his very eyes.

Summer was no longer a member of the Rongsler family, so she was very cold toward Caleb and paid no heed to his furious expression.

“Caleb and Lucinda are such horrible people! It feels great to finally be free from them!” Summer exclaimed with a wide smile on her face as she got into the car and headed back to the Jenson residence.

Nico’s lips curled into a grin as well when he saw her smiling happily.

However, Summer was quick to stop smiling and instead asked worriedly, “Nico, now that my household registry is empty, I am no different from an orphan. Would you…” Look down on me?

As though Nico could read her mind, he replied decisively, “No, I won’t. I would probably have died at the border if my savior didn’t rescue me. I’m an orphan too, so neither of us has parents to look after. That means we get to spend a long time together with just the two of us before we have to consider children.”

Summer looked forward to that idea, so she wrapped her arms around his and rested her head on his shoulder.

“You’re my savior too, Nico.”

Nico simply let her cling to him as he kept his focus on the road.

“You gave me quite the scare when you whipped out that bank card before we left the house earlier. I thought you were actually going to give it to them!” Summer exclaimed.

Nico flashed her a smile and said, “They abused you despite being your parents, and they had the audacity to try and rip you off after finding out that life is finally looking good for you. I would not feel comfortable giving such selfish people any money.

“Me too. Thank goodness we didn’t pay them anything.” Summer then looked up at him as she continued in a coquettish tone, “But a monetary gift is still a must if we are to get engaged. Now that my household registry is no longer tied to them, you can just give me the money.”
