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

Hank’s family found out about his affair and did not rebuke him for it. Hank said, “Liberty kept gaining weight after giving birth to Sonny. She lost her figure, and I just couldn’t stand her anymore. Jessica is considerate, young, and beautiful. I think she’s my true love.”Mrs. Brown said frankly, “Your mistress is only eyeing your status and income. If you’re just an ordinary employee like before, will she like you?”“Although Liberty is ruthless and beats you up, she has taken good care of you throughout your marriage and managed the household very well. She has endured hardships, so she knows how to live within her means and manage a family. That woman you’re dating doesn’t seem to hold a candle to Liberty.”Although Mrs. Brown was partial to her son, her evaluation of Liberty was pertinent.“You need a virtuous wife. Hank, you can fool around all you want and I won’t say anything, but if you marry that girl, you must be careful lest you regret it in the future.”Most men who

Serenity said, “Thanks, Jas.”Jasmine smiled. “Don’t mention it! You’ve always closed up for the night in the past, so I’ve been taking advantage of you. I’ll only feel better now by making up for it.”Serenity accepted her friend’s offer and picked up the clothes she bought before bidding Jasmine goodbye and walking out of the bookstore. When she opened the car door, she placed the bag of clothes on the passenger seat and said to Zachary, “You can head home first. I need to go to the market to buy some vegetables. If you can, cook some pasta while waiting. Otherwise, just wait till I get home.”Zachary glanced at her e-bike and said, “Where’s your new car?”“I left the house later than usual today, so I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. That’s why I took the bike.”Serenity put on her helmet and said, “I’m leaving.”Without waiting for Zachary to reply, Serenity rode the bike away.Zachary was left speechless.Serenity did things in a hurry sometimes, which was a contras
