Chapter 28<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a minor issue, so I don\u2019t feel the need to file a claim. Why do you ask, Zachary?\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary paused before responding, \u201cThe woman who scratched your car this morning happens to be the sister of my nana\u2019s lifesaver. They only have each other, and she\u2019s a housewife with no income. They\u2019re really concerned about being able to afford the repairs to your car.\u201d<\/div>\n
Duncan replied, \u201cWhat a coincidence! I can\u2019t believe she\u2019s the sister of your grandma\u2019s lifesaver. How did you find out?\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary fabricated an answer. \u201cMy nana has a fondness for her lifesaver and often seeks her company. Today, she noticed that Liberty seemed down, so she asked what was wrong. That\u2019s when Hunt shared the details.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHunt? Is that her last name? The woman who damaged my car is Liberty Hunt. What\u2019s the name of your grandma\u2019s lifesaver?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHer name is Serenity Hunt.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThey must be sisters, given the names. I\u2019ll let this go since she\u2019s related to your grandma\u2019s lifesaver. The money is not a big deal for me, but I am the one affected here. I can\u2019t just let her off the hook; otherwise, she might end up damaging someone else\u2019s car without learning a lesson.\u201d<\/div>\n
Duncan Lewis, at thirty-five, was the fourth son in the Lewis family. Although he didn\u2019t take over the family business, he carved out his own path by establishing Lewis & Co, which managed several subsidiary businesses. Duncan was a self-made billionaire.<\/div>\n
Known for his straightforward and loyal nature, Duncan had navigated the gray areas of the law in his younger days. The scar on his face stood as a testament to his tumultuous past. However, he chose not to have surgery to remove it, believing the scar added a certain character to his appearance.<\/div>\n
\u201cIf you want to teach her a lesson, consider filing a claim against her if the cost isn\u2019t too high. I\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cPlease, can you give her a break for my nana\u2019s sake and charge her less?\u201d <\/p>\n

Ten thousand dollars seemed like a trivial amount to affluent individuals such as Zachary and Duncan. Even without a job or a steady income, Liberty could manage to come up with ten thousand dollars by borrowing if necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just ten thousand dollars. I can get her to pay half of it. A few thousand bucks can really sting for a housewife like her. Hopefully, this will serve as a reminder for her to be more cautious on the road and avoid bumping into other people\u2019s cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, his car was parked safely by the side of the road. The life of a sweet child could be in jeopardy if she found herself caught in heavy traffic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Duncan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no trouble at all. Speaking of which, your grandma seems fond of that Serenity girl. Even though she saved your grandma\u2019s life, she could have received a considerable reward. What makes your grandma want to keep in touch with her? Didn\u2019t Grandma May even suggest that you should intervene on their behalf?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary responded quietly, \u201cIn a way, Nana feels we don\u2019t spend enough time with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grandma May was eager for her grandsons to settle down because she longed for the sound of great-grandchildren\u2019s laughter in her home. She often joked about offering fifty million for a great-grandson and five hundred million for a great-granddaughter.<\/p>\n

The York family had been fortunate in having grandsons but had not been blessed with daughters or granddaughters. Grandma May had hoped for a granddaughter, but each of her daughters-in-law had given her three grandsons. Her grandsons were her only hope for great-granddaughters.<\/p>\n

Duncan then paused and reflected, \u201cYou know how the elderly can be. When my nana was still alive, she would bug me every single day about getting married. My brothers and I got so tired of it that we started avoiding home. Now that she\u2019s gone, we actually miss her nagging.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often true that people don\u2019t realize the value of what they have until it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

Out of Duncan\u2019s three siblings, he was the only one still single. The entire family, including his young nephew, constantly pressured him about finding a wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re thirty-five, nearing forty. Of course, they\u2019re going to be on your case about tying the knot. If you wait any longer, you\u2019ll be practically ancient by the time your child arrives. People might even mistake your child for your grandchild,\u201d Zachary teased.<\/p>\n

To be honest, had it not been for Nana\u2019s relentless nudging, Zachary wouldn\u2019t be considering marriage anytime soon. He had always been the most devoted grandson, and he planned to wait until he turned thirty-five before thinking about settling down.<\/p>\n

Even though Zachary was now married, he wasn\u2019t entirely convinced about spending the rest of his life with Serenity. Just as he explained to Nana, he needed to assess Serenity\u2019s character before he could truly open his heart and invest in their relationship.<\/p>\n

Duncan couldn\u2019t help but laugh. \u201cI\u2019ll spoil my child just like a grandchild!\u201d To which Zachary could only respond with silence.<\/p>\n
