Just because Troy sent me 40-dollar red envelope?

But 40 dollars was not even one percent of my monthly salary.

I suddenly remembered a blogger I saw on a short video just now.

She asked her boyfriend to book the top floor of the tallest building in Atlanta just to watch a magnificent drone show.

After a trip, at least one or 400 thousand dollars was needed.

The comments section was full of self-proclaimed slaves joking.

I didn't have any emotions at that time.

But now, I still envied that girl a little.

If I had money, I probably wouldn't have to be called materialistic for receiving so little money now.

When Troy went home, I couldn't completely detach myself from my emotions.

Seeing me with red eyes, he frowned and put down the small cake in his hand.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

I threw my phone at him in anger.

"Take a look at what your mother said to me."

Troy took the phone and finished reading the chat records.

His expression was a bit ugly, as if he couldn't believe his mother would say such things.

"My mom..."

Troy sighed.

"Wendy, my family is in the countryside and the conditions are not good. My mom is used to being frugal, so she may speak inappropriately for a moment. I'm sorry."

With his explanation, I couldn't calm down at all. I just sneered, "What does it have to do with me, Troy, if your mom is used to being frugal? I just accepted a 40 dollars red envelope from you, that's all!"

"I dare not accept this red envelope anymore, I'll return it to you."

I had always had a mild temper, but Troy became a little flustered when he saw that I was really angry.

He held me in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made you suffer."

"I will talk to my mom, Wendy, can you please not be angry anymore?"

"Look, I brought you a small cake, your favorite strawberry cake."

It's one thing if he didn't say that, but when he said it, my grievances well up from the bottom of my heart.

I leaned on Troy's body and my tears fell heavily.

"Troy, I dare not eat the cake. How much have you spent on me over the years, you know about it."

Troy's body stiffened for a moment, and he reached out to stroke my back.

"Hmm, I know."

With my head lowered, I didn't see the complexity that flashed through his eyes.

After hugging Troy like this for a while, my emotions calmed down a lot, and I gave him a way out.

"Let me see the cake you bought."
