Chapter 70
“Didn’t you say you were only going to help me with the deposit?” Serenity asked Zachary in a hushed
tone.
“I could afford the car you picked, so I paid in full.”
“Oh.” Serenity whispered, “I’ll wire you half the money later.”
Zachary glanced at her. “It’s fine.” Serenity blinked.
By that, did he mean he was giving the car to her?
Sure he could afford the car, but it was over a hundred thousand dollars. Although they were husband
and wife, they barely knew each other in the short period they were married. Most importantly, they
signed an agreement to go their separate ways six months later.
Zachary’s sudden splurge on a hundred-thousand – dollar car was a red flag in Serenity’s eyes. There

from the public eye. “Mr. York, can you tell me why you’re gifting me with a car? I won’t feel comfortable
driving the car unless you clarify that. I don’t want to be indebted to you.”
Returning favors was the hardest thing to do.
Zachary stared into her eyes.
It took a while before he averted his gaze. Serenity picked up on the blush across his face.
Serenity, “…”
“Last night, um… I misjudged you…”
Everything clicked. “You feel that you’ve wronged me, so the car is an apology gift?” Zachary’s eyes
met hers. It was a good thing that she got it right away. “We cleared the misunderstanding last night,
and you apologized to me. Although I was really angry then, I got over it. There’s no need for you to
splurge on a car to make up for it.”
“It’s handy to have a car around.”
Without a doubt, Serenity understood the convenience of a car.
“I’m not getting the car unless you let me pay you back. Besides, you’re going to transfer your car’s
ownership to me when we divorce six months later.
I would’ve gotten a car then.” Zachary was choked for words. He drafted the agreement and made her
sign it. Nevertheless, it bugged Zachary when she brought up the divorce.
His face and tone quickly dropped to freezing temperatures. Zachary said, “Do you have the money to
pay for the car now? I’ll make the payment if you don’t. You can wire me the money later.” “I don’t have
it now.
I’ll wire you the money when I get home.” Without another word, Zachary ditched Serenity and returned
to the dealership. Having made the purchase, Zachary got into his car without waiting for Serenity and
said,

herself, “Is he angry with me? Is it because I split our finances? Well, he made it clear that the divorce
is happening in six months, so for sure we must keep our finances separate. I don’t want to be paying
for this and that during the divorce. That would be a downer.”
Although there were no feelings involved between Serenity and Zachary, a divorce itself was not a
joyous occasion.
It would only put her in a foul mood if Zachary went after repayments too. She had to protect herself in
this respect. Zachary was not too pleased about it.
He might be unhappy, but Serenity would not budge. Jasmine was being nosy. She asked when
Serenity pulled up in the front of the shop with her new ride.
“Did you go and get a car? I thought you went to a hotel… Hehe.” Serenity rolled her eyes. “You’ve
read too many chick lits. I didn’t expect him to take me to a dealership. Look at my new car, Jasmine.”
It was her first car ever.
