Chapter 27
Married at First Sight
Zachary remained silent.
The person who chipped the paint off Duncanâs car was his new sister-in-law. Zachary had not met his sister-in-law.
âItâs late, Mr. York. Iâm going to turn in for the night.â
Despite having reassured her sister that everything would be fine, Serenity was feeling the blues as she did not know what to expect from the damages.
She said goodnight to Zachary and went to her room.
By the time Zachary opened his mouth to say something, Serenity had already disappeared into her room.
The flowers on the balcony⦠Well, Serenity would sort out the floral arrangement when she saw them in the morning.
However, Zachary was feeling weird about it. It was as though he was waiting to be praised after doing a good thing.
âMr. York.â
With the door swung open, Serenity popped back out and asked, âI see you got the washing machine.
How much was it?â
âI spent seven thousand on two washing machines.â
Serenity did a comparison to the washing machine at her sisterâs place. Seeing that the price was within reason, she said nothing.
âSerenity.â
Zachary called her before she could close the door to her bedroom.
âThe thing with your sister is not an issue. You can let me know if youâre short of cash. I can lend your sister some.â
Serenity replied gratefully, âThank you, Mr. York. Weâll see once the bill comes. Iâll sign an IOU for my sister if we canât scrape enough money together.â
They did not know each other well since they had only been newlyweds for barely a few days. Still, Serenity was thankful that Zachary was willing to help out when her sister was in need.
âItâs late. You should get some rest. Donât dwell on it. Things will eventually work out for the better.â
âYou too. Goodnight.â
Serenity said goodnight again and returned to her bedroom.
Zachary sat in the living room for a while before moving to his room.
Closing the door behind him, Zachary whipped out his phone and called Duncan.
âAre you asleep, Duncan?â
Duncan answered with a smile, âNo way. I only sleep at three in the morning. Whatâs up? Are you buying me drinks? Come to my place. Iâll share my wine collection with you.â
âHow much is it to repaint your car?â
Zachary did not get close to the car for a look, so he had no idea how bad the damages were to Duncanâs vehicle.
âItâs not a bad scratch. Ten thousand bucks should cut it.â âAre you submitting a claim to your insurance?â
