“A surprise for you.”
Zachary took the bag and looked at it. “More clothes?”
He took out the clothes and looked at them. This time, she was much more generous. All of them were branded goods.
“I have no experience in giving gifts to men, so I can’t prepare a big surprise. Small surprises are all I can do. The clothes I gave you last time weren’t expensive. They were just a thousand or so each set, but this time, I bought you something branded. Each set costs more than ten thousand dollars.
“Wearing it is like being decked out in money. Isn’t it a surprise? Even at my age, I could never bring myself to wear such expensive clothes.”
Zachary smiled. “With your temperament and financial ability, it really is a surprise that you’re willing to buy such expensive clothes for me.”
These new sets were many times better than the clothes she gifted him last time.
Yes, it was a pleasant surprise indeed.
“Thank you for helping my sister collect the evidence of Hank’s infidelity.”
“Don’t mention it. Your sister is my sister. It’s only natural that I’ll help my sister, but you went out of your way to give me clothes as a thank you gift.
It was no wonder she suddenly bought clothes for him again. It turned out to be a gift of gratitude for his help.
She treated him with utmost courtesy and did not consider him as family. If he helped her, she would repay him in other ways since she did not want to owe him a favor.
Zachary did not know whether to laugh or cry when he realized this.
If she did this when they just got their marriage license, he would definitely think she was being tactful.
However, now, he felt she was rather distant. She did not let him into her world.
Then again, he could not blame her.
He was the one who asked her to sign the agreement.
“My sister is always reminding me to be kinder and better to you. Since I bought you some new clothes, you have to put in a good word for me when my sister mentions it again next time.”
