Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972

“Clive probably made a deal on the house.”

Since the estates were next to each other, it made sense for Clive to buy the property next door and tear down the fence in between to connect the two houses. It would expand the square footage of the Stones‘ land.

The Stones had the money anyway. Who could beat Clive if he had his eyes on the property?

“I can help you to ask around now if you’re interested. Hang on.”

Since Duncan felt bad for waking his best friend up, he tried to think of something to make up for it.

That was how the Zimmers‘ villa came to mind.

Using another phone, Duncan checked with his source and quickly got a reply. The Zimmers‘ villa was not on the market anyway.

Duncan asked his source thinking it was Clive, but his source had no idea who had purchased the house, and that it was not Clive. Clive was one step behind buying the Zimmers‘ villa to expand his family’s land as someone else had bought the house off.

Sure, the Zimmers‘ property was preowned, but the place boasted a generous space, so everybody was after the land. As for the house itself, the buyer would probably get a major overhaul of the building structure as Duncan had said.

The Zimmers had a lot of memories of the house, but it was time for others to create something anew.

Out with the old and in with the new.

Since money was no object, the resident would spare no expenses to bring their dream home to life.

Duncan replied, “See. The nice estate is high in demand. Someone got it before Clive.”

“Who bought the place?”

That was quick.

“No idea, but we’ll soon find out.”

“You’re up, honey. Did the phone call wake you?”

Zachary swiftly got up and approached Serenity. Holding her by the waist, he brought her to the sofa where the couple sat down.

“No. I woke up on my own. Who were you on the phone with?”

Serenity was only making conversation, so it did not matter to her whether Zachary answered or not.

Zachary answered, “Duncan called and talked about trivial things that are not worth the mention. I don’t know what has gotten into him. That was a strange call.”

He then relayed the phone conversation with Duncan to his wife.

Zachary had promised that there would be no more lies.

He would be honest with Serenity so long as it was no trade secrets.
