Chapter 19: Car Accident
Lilian nodded, completely oblivious to the expression on Steve’s face, who looked like he was about to break down.
Meanwhile, the decorations that Kevin had sent someone to buy had arrived. Looking at the several large boxes in the living room, Jessie was stunned and somewhat surprised.
"Why did you buy so much? How much did all of this cost? Did you bargain?"
Kevin had arranged all of this through Butler John at the Harper mansion, and naturally, he had not bothered to bargain.
He glanced at the bill; it was thirty thousand dollars.
Thirty thousand dollars for all of these things seemed like a good bargain compared to his usual standards. However, it still didn’t feel right to bring the price up with Jessie.
So, he casually threw out a fake number. "Two hundred dollars."
Jessie pursed her lips, slightly dissatisfied with the price. However, considering the sheer number of things Kevin had bought, this total amount seemed reasonable enough.
"What’s wrong? Not satisfied?" Kevin frowned slightly, observing her reaction.
She shook her head and opened one of the boxes. "It’s just that you bought a lot. I’ll pay you back later. After all, these were all things I had suggested buying."
Jessie’s polite and distant manner inexplicably made him feel uncomfortable. Did he lack that bit of money?
"No need; it’s all expenses for this household." He shook his head in refusal.
