Why should her money be saved for Baron?
She had earned it through her own hard work. No one else had any right to control it.
And her father? He had remained silent, finally letting out a sigh and saying only, “Well, what’s done is done.”
His tone made it sound as if her buying a house was a mistake.
When Baron found out from their mother that she’d bought a place, he called her, and the first thing out of his mouth was, “Sis, how much did the apartment cost?”
Wendy didn't think much of it at the time and answered truthfully, “A little over two million.”
Her friends had helped her with six hundred thousand, she had four hundred thousand in savings, and she took out a mortgage for the rest. The down payment was one million, with over a million left on the loan.
Initially, her friends had wanted to pool their money to help her pay in full and avoid a mortgage.
Wendy knew her three friends would move heaven and earth for her, but she couldn't accept their generosity without feeling guilty.
Money doesn't grow on trees, after all.
Finally, they convinced her to accept two hundred thousand as a “housewarming gift.” She refused to take a penny more.
Even though she came from a humbler background, her friends had never looked down on her. They were always there to help whenever she ran into trouble.
Wendy was deeply grateful.
Seeing everything her friends were doing for her now moved her beyond words.
Only people who truly cared for her would treat her this way.
“My beautiful friends, you’re all so good to me. Having you in my life is more than enough,” Wendy said, her bright face filled with gratitude.
They had known each other since college, for almost ten years now.
Time had passed, but the one thing that remained unchanged was their deep friendship.
On the first day in her new home, there was no family, only friends. But these friends were better than family.
Only her friends cared about whether she was happy or tired.
