Chapter 276
Married at First Sight
Chapter 276 Liberty instinctively responded.
She did not read too much into the situation.
Firstly, Liberty was past the age of dreaming. Secondly, she was married, and thirdly, she was no longer the belle she was before marriage. Liberty was now a fat and ugly woman.
Duncan grinned. âLetâs talk about the repairs.â
It threw Liberty into a tizzy.
She did not have much savings left. Judging by the damages this time, the repairs must cost a lot more. She would have to drain her bank account to pay Duncan and endure Hankâs nameâcalling for being pathetic.
The stroller merely scraped Duncanâs vehicle in the last incident, but she had to fork out nine thousand bucks.
âWhere do you live?â
âBright Boulevard.â
âThatâs a good catchment area. You made a good choice and bought the place quickly.â
The houses at Bright Boulevard were all sold.
âMy husband bought the house before we got married. Heâs still paying the mortgage. Mr. Lewis, how much would the repairs cost? Um... Itâs not that I want to pass the buck or refuse to pay, Iâm a housewife without a source of income. I donât have much savings left. I probably wonât have enough to cover the cost. âCan I pay in installments?â Liberty probingly asked, âIâm trying to find a job now. I can promise that Iâll pay everything I owe once I have a job and a steady income.â
Behind the wheel, Duncan replied, âNo need to be nervous. I donât expect you to pay this time. I only asked you to pay for the scratch so that it would serve as a reminder to watch out on the street. It would be unfortunate for you if you ran your stroller onto anyone else. Donât forget, your son is in this car.â
LL LE Color washed off Libertyâs complexion as scenarios of what could happen entered her mind.
âI donât think it matters whether you pay for the repairs. It has only been a little over a month before you damaged another one of my cars.â
Duncan was not going to take his luxury sedans to the road in case he bumped into her again.
Liberty was embarrassed, not knowing what to say. However, she was relieved that Duncan was generous enough to write off the repair cost.
The pair were not friends. Duncan only helped out because of their common friend, Zachary. Since Liberty said nothing, Duncan left the conversation at that. It took less than ten minutes to arrive at Bright Boulevard by car.
Considering that Liberty had a toddler and many things to carry, Duncan told Liberty to swipe her residential card to gain access into the neighborhood. He then drove the car into the gated community under Libertyâs guidance and pulled up in front of Libertyâs residential building.
Duncan got down from the car and moved her things down.
âThank you, Mr. Lewis.â
Liberty was grateful.
âIâll carry your stuff upstairs.â
âItâs fine. You can watch my things here. Itâll only take two trips, so it wonât be long. Thereâs an elevator.â
âSure.â Duncan watched as she carried her son while pushing the stroller away.
A few minutes later, Liberty came down the stairs alone.
âIs there anyone else at home now?â
Duncan asked in passing.
