Married at First Sight Chapter 553

Chapter 553

After removing all the moveable items, only a few belongings that Hank had purchased with his own money remained.

Everyone pitched in to carry the appliances Hank bought to the entrance of the house before starting to smash the floor tiles and tear down the drywall.

The sounds of drilling, shattering, and breaking combined to create a cacophony.

This disturbance affected the residents both upstairs and downstairs.

Liberty and Serenity felt embarrassed and quickly went to a store to buy fruit for their immediate neighbors. They apologized and assured them that the work would be completed before dark.

Since the sisters brought fruit as a peace offering and the neighbors were familiar with them, the noise was temporarily tolerated.

For families with children who could not bear the noise, the adults took the kids out for a walk.

The sisters also purchased a generous amount of food to provide for the workers tearing down the house.

With a cheerful Liberty around, the helpers worked efficiently.

By evening, everything that could be dismantled was taken down, and the remaining items were smashed.

“Ms. Hunt, do we need to clean up the debris?” a worker asked Liberty.

Liberty surveyed the house and replied, “No, I hired people to clean during the previous renovation as well. I’ll let them handle the cleanup now. I’ll consider this a reimbursement for the cleaners I paid for back then.”

Serenity walked through the house, noting that the drywall had been removed neatly and the floor tiles had been pried up and shattered. Since Liberty had indicated that cleanup was unnecessary, the workers complied, leaving it for Hank and the others to address when they returned.

“Thank goodness we took your advice and let your cousin arrange for workers to help out, Jas. Professionals not only…

“Get the job done quickly; the results are quite impressive,” she remarked. Jasmine smiled in response. “This is their job, so it’s only fair to ask for their assistance.”

“Please check with your cousin about the labor costs and send me the invoice. I’ll cover their expenses,” she continued. Jasmine hummed in agreement. “I’ve already done that. He’ll inform me of the amount, and I’ll pass it along to you.”

The two returned to Liberty, where Serenity inquired, “Is there anything else we need to address?”

“There’s also the wiring. I paid for it, but it’s dark now, making it inconvenient to remove. Just have the workers cut the wires, and we’ll leave,” Jasmine replied.

Serenity quickly communicated this to the workers, and they set to work. Once completed, the items that Hank had purchased were moved back into the house. The team worked efficiently.

When Zachary arrived, everyone was already downstairs, assisting with loading the items onto the trucks. He exited his car and approached Serenity, with Josh stepping out of the vehicle beside him.

Josh deliberately lagged a few steps behind, maintaining some distance from the couple until they had exchanged a few words. “Hello, Serenity,” he greeted her with a smile.

Serenity studied him for a moment and realized he seemed familiar. It dawned on her that he was Zachary’s colleague, someone with whom Zachary had a good rapport. Although she hadn’t met Josh in person before, she had seen him with Zachary on several occasions.

Josh introduced himself, “My last name is Bucham. I heard from Zachary that your sister is moving, so I thought I’d come by and see if there’s anything I could assist with.”

“Thank you, Mr. Bucham, but we’re mostly finished,” Serenity replied, recognizing him as Zachary’s colleague.

She was introduced to Jasmine as soon as she learned the man’s last name. She quietly observed Josh for a moment and sensed that he would be a great match for her best friend.
