Chapter 1358
Jessica was not able to complete the task given to her by the unknown woman. She was worried that the other party would act on her family again, so she wanted Hank to send her home. Her family was also in the countryside. Hank was not too fond of visiting his mother-in-law. Every time he went, his mother-in-law would say that she was feeling unwell and that she lacked some things at home. Whenever he heard her, he would give her some money as he felt sorry for her. Although he did not give much, this happened every time he visited. He felt uncomfortable about it as if his mother-in-law was taking him as an ATM. Luckily, Jessica truly liked Hank and wanted to spend her life with him. When his mother-in-law demanded a high amount for bride price, Jessica stood by his side and went ahead to get their marriage license behind her parents’ backs. There was nothing his mother-in-law could do. In the end, the bride price was reduced to tens of thousands of dollars. Even so, it was
Chapter 1359
“Your parents treat me as a dupe. Do they think I’m rich? I’m just an Uber driver now!” Hank said to Jessica. He had been in a bad mood since Liberty hung up on him. As such, he took it out on the Yateses. Jessica agreed that her parents were covertly asking for money. Her mom used to do the same when she went home to visit in the past. In any case, Jessica had always given half of her salary to her family. No matter what her mom said after that, she did not give more. Over time, her mom stopped trying. Even so, Jessica could not stand Hank complaining about her family. As bad as they were, they were her parents, her brothers, and her sisters-in-law. “Don’t complain about my parents. They’re my parents, and it was hard for them to raise me. Now that you’ve married me, you’re their son-in-law. A son-in-law is like half a son. What’s wrong with giving them some money for them to see the doctor? “Have your parents not asked you for money before? Also, your outrageous sister is
Chapter 1360
Jessica could not help but squat on the ground. She covered her face and cried. After crying for a while, she stood up and took out a piece of tissue to wipe away her tears and snot. She then walked forward. Divorce? She would not divorce for the time being. If she did, what would she do if she could not complete the task given to her by the unknown woman? What would happen to her family? Besides, Jessica had snatched Hank from someone else. If she simply separated from him, she would be laughed at for getting what she deserved. Jessica gritted her teeth and told herself that she could not bow down or retreat. She must teach the Browns a lesson. She definitely would not follow in Liberty’s footsteps! Liberty was clueless about the conflict between Hank and Jessica. She had only hung up rudely because she did not like the tone of Hank’s speech. She did not want to care about her ex-husband anymore. If he truly wanted to buy clothes for Sonny, he should be able to buy

“Mr. Lewis?” With Duncan staring at Liberty without blinking, Liberty skeptically called him back to earth. Snapping out of his thoughts, Duncan said with a smile, “I guess I see you every day, so I don’t see the difference. I’m only realizing now that you’ve lost a lot of weight. You look good. You can give Lily a run for her money.” Duncan was stunned by what came out of his mouth. Why was he comparing Liberty to Lily? Liberty answered with a grin, “Thanks for the compliment, but I’m just an ordinary girl. Ms. Harmon is beautiful.” “Liberty, Lily is… the daughter of my mom’s best friend. She’s staying with me for the time being as she’s here on business. My mom loves her like a daughter. You know, we only have boys in my family. My mom doesn’t have a daughter, so she really likes girls. It’s like how Grandma May looks forward to having a great-granddaughter. That’s how much my mom likes girls too. They’re the same.“Lily is a little younger than me. We met before when w
Chapter 1362
Duncan was speechless. “Do you really think Lily and I are suited for each other? Don’t you think she’s out for my position and wealth?”“Lily’s family has a huge business. She’s the vice president of her family’s company, so I doubt she’s after your money. You have status, but so does she. It’s hard to believe that she’s out for your position and wealth. You two together will only be a union of power and wealth.” Liberty gave Duncan a look like he was out of his mind. That question was a bolt out of the blue. Mrs. Lewis was such a proud lady with high standards. The girl Mrs. Lewis picked for Duncan must be beyond amazing. “I mean, I might be the better pick out of all the men Lily knows. That’s why she wants to get together with me. It’s not that she likes me. I don’t believe she isn’t scared or disgusted by the scar on my face.”While fixating on his face, Liberty answered with a smile, “Once you fall in love with Ms. Harmon, you’ll wobble your way to get cosmetic surgery
Chapter 1363
Zachary’s personal car drove into the villa. He could hear Sonny’s crying before even getting out of the car. Once the car was packed, Zachary got out and took large strides to Serenity. Serenity and her sister were trying to settle Sonny down. Seeing that Zachary was back, Serenity said to Sonny, “Sonny, your uncle is here. Your uncle is the best. He can help fix your bike.” Tinkling with the bicycle, Duncan jumped in. “It’s okay, Sonny. I can fix your bike. No need to trouble your uncle.” It was a tiny issue from the bike being overturned. It was an easy repair. As Zachary drew close, Sonny put his hands out to his uncle. With Zachary holding him, he cried and asked, “Uncle Zack, my bicycle is broken. Can you fix it?” Zachary gestured for Serenity to bring him a tissue. Serenity grabbed a tissue and handed it to him. Zachary wiped away Sonny’s tears and tenderly uttered, “Dunc is repairing your bike right now. Don’t worry, your bicycle will be okay. It’s just a small

“You can ride the bicycle better if you pick up the art of self-defense. Do you want to learn to fight?”“I do.” Zachary carried Sonny to a man in black who was standing not too far away. As he was walking, Zachary said, “Sonny, I got you an instructor to teach you to fight. You must listen to him and work hard.” Everybody turned their attention to the stranger. Serenity said to her sister, “Zachary mentioned he’ll get someone to teach Sonny to fight for himself. He can train and learn to protect himself.” “That’s kind of Zachary.” Liberty was grateful. Her brother-in-law did bring it up after what happened at the zoo. Liberty believed boys should pick up a skill for self-defense. Duncan jumped in. “You could’ve told me that Sonny wants to learn to fight. I can teach him.” “Mr. Lewis, you’re busy with work. I wouldn’t want to bother you.” Liberty thought to herself, ‘It must cost a lot to hire Duncan to be my son’s instructor. Sure, I have made some money now, but
Chapter 1365
Liberty immediately told her son to greet William Jr. “Hello, William.” With Sonny greeting his instructor, William responded with a smile. The boy may not have a real talent to learn to fight, but he was the cutest little thing. William had a good first impression of Sonny. “Come in, William.” Zachary and Serenity invited William into the house. Taking Sonny by the hand, Liberty took strides into the house with Duncan. “Are you getting your car this afternoon, Liberty?” Duncan asked in a seemingly casual way. “Yes, I am.” Liberty was all smiles talking about the car. Although she did not buy a luxury car, it was the first vehicle she bought for herself. Liberty was over the moon. “I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I’ll go with you.” Liberty turned down the kind gesture. “It’s okay, Mr. Lewis. It’s only taking the car. I’ll just drive the car back. Seren is going with me.” Duncan smiled, “I thought you were going alone. I shouldn’t interfere since Sereni
