Liberty said, “But not all men are like Hank. Jasmine, don’t shy away from marriage just because of my failed marriage. If you do, I’ll feel guilty forever.”She remembered that Serenity’s best friend was still single and was being pushed into marriage by her family.Jasmine smiled and said, “I know that there are scums everywhere. I just want to find someone I like whom I can entrust my life with when I get married. I won’t be influenced by you, Liberty. But I’ll be careful about the characters of my other half’s family before I marry someone in the future.”Jasmine’s mother often said that marriage was not just about marrying a man, but marrying into that man’s family and integrating into his circle of relatives and friends. There was a lot to consider.Jasmine glanced at her best friend and admired Serenity.Liberty clearly had a failed marriage.However, she could not be impulsive in getting a divorce because of Sonny. Liberty had to ensure she could make a living by herself
Zachary hummed and said, “They wouldn’t dare mess with you again after this ordeal.”The Hunts would only regret it.“Where do you usually go for lunch?” Serenity asked suddenly.“Outside.” Zachary replied, and then asked back, “Do you want to invite me over for lunch?”Serenity smiled and said, “I’ll invite you over if you’re free since you’ve helped me so much. I’m very grateful for your help and have nothing to give in return, so let me treat you to a meal. But don’t choose restaurants that are too fancy. I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford it.”Zachary wanted to laugh. Serenity wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him, but she was afraid that she would not be able to afford a meal at a high-end hotel. Was this sincerity genuine or what?“I don’t have much free time during lunch, and there are too many people in the nearby restaurant at that hour. If you really want to treat me to a meal, go home early in the evening and cook a feast for me. But don’t overdo it since we won
Serenity tucked her phone into her pants pocket and was about to go back into the store when she saw her sister coming out of the store.“Liberty, where are you going?”“I’m going to get some ingredients to cook for you girls. Don’t order takeout for lunch. It’s not good for your health to eat too much takeout.“Seren, keep an eye on Sonny.”Serenity did not stop her sister from getting ingredients and cooking for them. She just told Liberty to be careful on the road.Serenity did not drive her new car to work and rode her e-bike as usual because it was convenient and fast.She was afraid of being stuck on the road during rush hour.“Liberty, I’ll transfer some money to you.”Serenity did not want her sister to use the food expenses her husband gave on them, so she sent Liberty some money.Liberty rode the e-bike to the market. She still had money herself to buy food for her sister.After watching Liberty leave, Serenity returned to the store. It was not the first time Sonny
Nana heard that Serenity was inquiring about Zachary’s hobbies and saw hope in the couple’s future. She happily told Serenity about her eldest grandson’s preferences and even private things like his favorite color of underwear.Zachary’s clothes were all tailored and delivered to the door once they were finished. Grandma May saw them and therefore knew what color underwear Zachary liked to wear.“Seren, there aren’t many things that Zachary likes, so you don’t need to think too much about it. Just buy him some clothes. I’ll tell you his size.” “What if he doesn’t like what I buy?”The old lady smiled. “It’s the thought that counts. It’s his business whether he wears it or not, but I think he’ll definitely wear it.”That boy liked to hide his feelings.He might show his dislike for the clothes that his wife bought for him, but he would still wear them to the office and show them off.Even though Grandma May was no longer in charge of the company’s affairs, she still had ways to
“Hank, you want to go Dutch with my sister when she doesn’t have a job. She’s at home raising your kid, yet you have the nerve to go halves with her. What’s the point of my sister having a husband then?“You always say that my sister doesn’t do anything at home, so she fulfilled your wish and did nothing today. Oh, wait… My sister still did half of the work. At least, she bought the ingredients, measured the pasta, and prepared a pot of water for you. All you need to do is cook it yourself.”Hank opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Serenity did not give him a chance to speak. She continued, “Hank, do you think that your house cleans itself every day? Sonny is still young, so when he plays with his toys, he likes to put them all over the floor and he can’t pick up after himself.“You don’t think that those toys put themselves away, do you? Also, who do you think takes care of your meals every day? Isn’t my sister doing your dirty laundry too?“Didn’t my sister make thr
It was unpalatable and sweet.How was it sweet? Did he take sugar for salt?Hank immediately went into the kitchen and picked up the box of seasoning to see if it was sugar, salt, or monosodium glutamate. They were all placed in the same box, so he must have mistaken sugar for salt just now.Before Hank got married, his mother cooked for him at home. After marriage, the Hunt sisters cooked for him. He did not have to cook all his life. It was no wonder the dish he cooked was unpalatable because he mistook sugar for salt.Then, he looked at the pasta in the pot. Since Liberty had measured everything for him, the pasta was edible.However, the spoiled Hank could not swallow plain pasta without any seasoning or meat.Hank turned hot-tempered when he thought how hard he had worked for the first half of the day and came back without food on the table. He went into the room angrily and became more infuriated when he saw Liberty sitting on the bed, looking at her phone.He suddenly ste
Liberty chased after Hank with a kitchen knife.Hank did not expect Liberty to be so tough.Liberty had always been gentle and thoughtful since their marriage. Even lately, when he yelled at her, she would only quarrel with him on the occasion that he went overboard.This time, Liberty acted like a lunatic after he hit her.Not only did Liberty fight back, but she also went ahead to get a kitchen knife.Hank ran out of the room and then out of the apartment.Liberty did not stop either and chased after him with the kitchen knife.She chased Hank down the stairs.This scene shocked the entire neighborhood.Liberty ran after Hank with the kitchen knife for five blocks. When she was exhausted, she sat by the side of the road to catch her breath.Hank was also tired and sat far away from her.When Hank’s parents and sister rushed over and saw them, Hank felt aggrieved.His parents were exasperated when they saw their precious son looking so wretched with both sides of his face
Liberty sneered. “He was the one who insisted on going halves, so I just did what he wanted. How is it right that he can do whatever he wants to me when he’s angry? You’re distressed when you see him like this, but can’t you see how he beat me up too?“He’s your precious son, but I’m human too! Yes, my parents are dead, but even if I’m an orphan, I won’t let you abuse me!“Are you gonna come at me one by one, or all together? Come at me! I’ll be straight with you. If you don’t want to be with me anymore, just say the word and we’ll get a divorce. Don’t you think you can get away with abusing me! I’m not a pushover! If you dare bully or beat me up again, I’ll make sure to drag your whole family to hell before I die!“Hank Brown, I told you long ago that if you ever dare lay your hands on me, you’d better beat me to death because if I’m alive, you should sleep with one eye open. Otherwise, I’ll chop you to pieces and mince you up!”Liberty glared at her in-laws fiercely.If they had
