Chapter 326: “A Surprise for You.”
Zachary picked up the bag and examined it. “More clothes?”
He pulled out the garments and inspected them. This time, she had been much more generous; all the items were from well-known brands.
“I don’t have much experience giving gifts to men, so I can’t create a big surprise. Small surprises are all I can manage. The clothes I gave you last time weren’t expensive—just around a thousand dollars for each set. But this time, I’ve bought you something branded, with each set costing over ten thousand dollars.”
“Wearing them feels like being adorned in luxury. Isn’t that a surprise? Even at my age, I could never bring myself to wear such costly clothes.”
Zachary smiled. “Given your personality and financial situation, it’s indeed surprising that you’re willing to buy such expensive clothes for me.”
The new sets were significantly better than the clothes she had gifted him previously.
Yes, it was a delightful surprise. “Thank you for helping my sister gather evidence of Hank’s infidelity.”
“Don’t mention it. Your sister is like my sister. It’s only natural for me to assist her. Yet, you’ve gone out of your way to give me clothes as a thank-you gift.”
It made sense why she suddenly bought clothes for him again; it was a gesture of gratitude for his assistance.
She treated him with utmost respect and didn’t view him as family. If he helped her, she felt compelled to repay him in other ways, as she didn’t want to owe him a favor.
Zachary was torn between laughter and sadness upon realizing this.
If she had acted this way shortly after they obtained their marriage license, he would have thought she was being tactful.
However, now he sensed a distance; she wasn’t allowing him into her world.
Still, he couldn’t fault her.
He was the one who had asked her to sign the
agreement.
