Chapter 395
Liberty shook her head at Serenity.No matter how much Liberty fought and argued with Hank, it was a fight between husband and wife. At most, the Browns would pick Hank up and take him back to their home to recuperate.If Liberty hit Jessica, it would be seen as a wife hitting a mistress. Everyone would only think that it was well-deserved, and Jessica would not do anything to her because of guilt.However, if Serenity made her move and beat up Hank and Jessica to stand up for Liberty, the Browns would sue Serenity and ask her to pay for the medical expenses. Jessica would do the same.Liberty did not want her sister to be taken advantage of.She pulled Serenity back tightly and said in a low voice, “Just trust me. I can solve this.”Serenity and Zachary only had to take photos and videos as evidence for Liberty.“Hank.”Liberty wiped away her tears and asked him, “You really want a divorce?”Hank said sternly, “Yes, I want to divorce you!”“Sonny is still so young. How could

After tonight, Liberty would no longer be sad or cry for Hank.“Sonny!”Liberty remembered her son and was suddenly anxious.“Liberty, I asked Mrs. Lane to take care of Sonny. Sonny usually sleeps through the night until dawn anyway.”Sonny was naughty, but at times, he could be very well-behaved. It was especially true when he slept at night. He would usually sleep till morning unless he was uncomfortable.Only then did Liberty feel relieved upon hearing that.“Seren, Zachary, how did you two find me?” Liberty only thought about this question after she was assured that her son was in good hands.Serenity gave her sister an earful. “Liberty, we’re sisters. Since our parents passed away, we’ve depended on each other for fifteen years and have discussed everything together. This time, you excluded me, so how could I rest assured?“Zachary’s friend who helped collect evidence of Hank’s infidelity is highly capable. He quickly found out that Hank was here as soon as Zachary asked h

Liberty believed in Zachary more than she did in Serenity.Liberty even told Serenity’s embarrassing story of her secretly drinking the vodka when she was young.Zachary looked at Serenity with such an intense gaze that Serenity wanted to find a hole to burrow in.“Liberty, why would you bring that up? It’s been so many years!”Liberty even shared this with Zachary.Liberty smiled and said, “You climbed into bed after your meal that day and slept all day. You can’t drink, but you like to drink anyway. You’ll sleep like a log after drinking too.“Zachary, just remember not to let her drink when it’s not a special occasion.”Zachary pursed his lips and smiled. “I’ll remember.”Liberty was reminiscing about their younger days, which made everyone laugh. The gloom from earlier slowly faded away.Divorce was no big deal.The earth would not stop rotating because someone was missing. Even without Hank, Liberty could live a good life.After walking out of the hotel, Liberty looked

Serenity came to a realization after being stared at and asked Zachary tentatively, “Mr. York, do you want me to wash your face for you?”“I painted my face black for your sake.”That meant he was holding her responsible.Serenity was stunned and felt like this man was becoming more shameless and reckless.“Fine, I’ll clean it up for you since you did it for my sake. Why didn’t you just paint your entire face black in the first place?” Serenity said as she pulled him into the kitchen.Zachary followed her and stopped after two steps. He frowned and asked Serenity, “Why are you bringing me to the kitchen?”“There’s a tap in the kitchen. I’m forbidden to enter your room, so how can I wash your face if I don’t take you to the kitchen? Or you can wait here. I’ll get a wet towel and wipe your face clean.”Zachary was speechless.He shot himself in the foot, and it hurt so much.After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, “I have a men’s facial cleanser that I often use in my

Zachary turned his head and saw Serenity savoring the sight of him. When Serenity noticed that he was looking at her, she asked, “Are you gonna strip further?”She pointed at his pants to tell him that he had not taken off his pants yet.Zachary was speechless.He took off his shirt because he did not want it to get wet when he was washing his face.What was she thinking about when he took off his shirt?Zachary turned around and took a step to stand in front of Serenity. When he was in such proximity, Serenity reached out and wanted to touch his lean pecs. She praised him, “You have a great body since you exercise so regularly.”Zachary grabbed her wandering hand to stop her from touching him.He warned her with a dark expression and said in a deep voice, “Serenity, do you know the consequences of touching me?”Before she could answer, he flicked her forehead with his other hand. This had become a habit of his.Zachary enjoyed flicking Serenity’s forehead after doing so for a

Zachary was silent for a moment before he said, “My parents still have income, and there are a lot of flowers and fruit trees on our family’s farmland. Every year, we make a lot of money by selling flowers and fruits. We’re not filthy rich, but we’re also not poor either.“Even if the elders are retired, they’ll run some small businesses that aren’t so profitable and tiring, but they can pass the time and make their lives feel more fulfilling.“I’ve given my parents money, but they declined. I gave it to them once, but they returned twice as much to me so I can save it for my wife.”Serenity thought of the last time she met her father-in-law. Although he was old, he was a well-kept gentleman who had excellent composure.Her mother-in-law did not really like Serenity but was graceful not to target her. She spoke gently and looked youthful. Serenity felt that outsiders would think they were sisters when they were to walk side by side.Serenity and Zachary had been married for a whil

Serenity returned to her room and closed the door behind her. She leaned against it and touched her burning face. She had no clue why she blushed.Maybe she saw something when she accompanied Liberty to catch Hank and Jessica in the act last night.After standing there for a while, Serenity hurriedly went into the shower because she had to make breakfast for Zachary later.Before that, Serenity suddenly thought of Mrs. Lane and called her. After Mrs. Lane answered the phone, Serenity said, “Mrs. Lane, you can take Sonny to my store later, so you don’t have to rush back.”“Okay.”“How’s my sister?”“She’s acting like she’s okay and says she’s going to work after breakfast. I’m making a cup of coffee for her to boost her energy because she didn’t sleep well last night.”Serenity felt sorry for her sister, but she also knew that it was not appropriate for Liberty to take the day off. After all, Liberty had only just started work a few days ago.“Ask my sister to be careful when
Chapter 402
Serenity had no recollection of it at all.She only drank two bottles of beer. Although she fell asleep afterward, she was not considered drunk. How could she vomit if she was not drunk?Did she vomit because she ate too much last night?Serenity was a little skeptical. However, it was just a drawing anyway, and Zachary had no reason to lie to her. Hence, Serenity dropped the subject.She would heed Liberty’s advice and drink less in the future.“Do you want to get it back?”“How can you get it back? Even if you do, it’s all mushed up. It’s okay, I’ll just redraw it.”Zachary said apologetically, “I didn’t know that drawing was so important. I just grabbed it without a second look. Next time, don’t put your drawing on the dresser. It’s too close to the bed.”“Okay.”Serenity thought to herself, ‘Well, this kind of thing can’t happen every day…’She would not drink every day either.“Mr. York, you don’t have to feel sorry. It’s my fault for not putting it away properly. Don’t
