Chapter 162
Chapter 162 “I got my salary today. I’ll wire you the living expenses later. Spend it on food and everything necessary. Don’t be too frugal,” Zachary said.
“It’s fine. We still have a chunk of change left from the hundred thousand dollars you gave me the last time. We kept our household expenditures low, so not much of the money was used.”
The furniture took away tens of thousands, but that was a one-time purchase.
The remaining dozens of thousands could last the household for several months. Besides, Serenity was not going to spend his money all the time.
“Just save the unused portion. Men can be extravagant with their spending. Just keep the money that I’ve wired to you. It can serve as an emergency fund. Otherwise, I’ll burn through all my money.”
Serenity gave it a thought before answering, “Alright then.”
She would keep a record of all the transactions.
The money Zachary wired to her every month would be saved and put in writing. It would be easy to divide the
money when they were to go down with the divorce.
“Mr. York, I shouldn’t keep you from your work any longer.”
“I might be home late tonight. Just leave the door unlocked for me. No need to wait up.” Serenity had never stayed up to wait for his return. Still, Zachary had to bring that up.
“Sure.” Without another word, Serenity hung up the call.
Zachary knew where Serenity stood. She did not care whether he was home early or late.
Sigh. This was part of the agreement they signed. She was not allowed to get involved in his affairs.
After having a moment to himself, Zachary transferred twenty thousand bucks to her mobile device.
Serenity accepted the transaction.
With Serenity taking the money, Zachary found himself
in a better mood.
It was only natural that the husband brought home the bacon while the wife spent the money.
Serenity slumped over the cash register for a quick nap.
She got some shuteye before pulling out her tools and materials to start on her craftwork.
Sometime later, a car was heard pulling up outside. As the
clicking of high heels ensued , Serenity turned her head toward the noise.
“Ms. Stone?” Serenity cried in surprise. It was Elisa.
Elisa planned to go on a beach vacation with her mother when Serenity suddenly came to mind. She thought about catching up with Serenity before the holidays since Serenity left a lasting impression on her. Elisa could not help but want to get closer to Serenity.
LILI
“I finally found you.”
Elisa handed over a bag. “I’ve been waiting for you to contact me, but I didn’t get it. I found this place through your absurd relatives. This is a little something for you.”
It was an expensive skincare set.
Serenity accepted the bag of skincare without a fuss. She said with a smile, “You’re too kind, Ms. Stone. You’re welcome to visit me, but you didn’t have to get me a gift.”
“Don’t mind me being blunt. I bought extra, but I didn’t need that many, so I brought you a set.”
In fact, Elisa just bought the gift. She made up the story in case Serenity would not accept the expensive gift. Elisa did not want Serenity to feel like she needed to return the favor
It was only a skincare set. Sure, it might be costly to ordinary people, but it did not cost much in Elisa’s eyes.
