The salesperson took them to see the model house again. Mary carefully measured the interior dimensions with a ruler she brought before letting Tony sign the contract.
After the process, the salesperson seemed to remember something and asked, "Mrs. Wilson, I remember you said your eldest daughter is in Yunso City. There was an earthquake there. Is she okay?"
There was a slight change in Mary's expression. I hurried over, trying to catch a hint of worry from her expression.
But I failed.
She waved her hand and said, "How is that possible? No matter who dies, that jinx won't die."
On the way home, Mary took a photo of the house purchase contract and sent it to my WhatsApp.
"We've already bought the house, so you don't have to hide anymore. Turn on your phone quickly. I'll talk to you about the mortgage."
A few minutes later, she called my cell phone again, but it was still turned off.
She was going crazy. "How dare you not answer my call! Don't challenge my patience."
