Chapter 277 Liberty looked at Duncan. Duncan knew that she was overthinking it again. The woman was rather distrustful of him.
He explained, “My point is, don‘t leave your son home alone while you come down to take the things if there‘s no one else in the house. It‘s not safe.”
Her son looked to be around two or three years old. Kids that age tended to be active and cheeky, intrigued to touch and play with anything and everything.
There was no turning back if something happened to the kid for fooling around with something dangerous. “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Lewis. I‘ll head upstairs now.” Liberty carried the packs of diapers and thanked Duncan before hurrying back upstairs.
She thought to herself that Duncan might not look the part of a nice guy since he was big, strong, and had a terrifying scar on his face, but he was a considerate and attentive man.
It was a reminder never to judge a book by its cover.
Duncan waited until Liberty was gone before returning to his car and driving away.
While on the road, he gave Zachary a call. The moment Zachary was on the other line, he said, “Zachary, I think your sister–in–law has something against my cars. Do you know? The windshield of my Porsche is cracked because of her.”
“What happened? Do you crash into her, or did she run into you?”
Zachary was concerned with anything to do with his sister-in-law.
His sister-in–law had always been nothing but nice to him.
“Nothing of that sort.”
Duncan recounted the whole incident to his best friend.
At the end of the story, he said, “Zachary, do you think your sister in–law has something against my cars? I‘m going to the car dealership tomorrow to get myself a hundred–thousand–dollar car. I‘ll just drive that car from now on in case I run into your sister –in–law damaging my expensive car. The repair costs will kill me.”
This had happened twice now. The first time was not that bad since it was a scratch. The repairs did not cost a lot.
This incident was worse than the first time.
God knows if the damage next time would be greater.
