“If you want to see Sonny in the future, call me and I’ll send him to your parents’ house, but you have to send him back on time.”This was what Liberty had promised Jessica. She would not use her child to destroy Jessica and Hank’s relationship.She would try not to meet Hank after the divorce.“Okay.”Hank had no problems with that.“We’ll go to City Hall to complete the formalities now. I requested leave, but I have to go back to work after the procedure.”Hank was also at peace with himself at the moment.Liberty returned to her sister’s car and they went to the City Hall together.Hank, on the other hand, drove with his parents and followed Serenity’s car.Olivia even cried for a while in the car.After being told off by her husband and knowing there was no turning back, she wiped her tears away and said to her son, “After the divorce is finalized, tell Liberty to go back and pack up her stuff and move out. Don’t let her stay for even one more night.“Your father and I
Olivia said, “You’ve already given so much money to Liberty after divorcing her, but she did give birth to a son for you, so I’ll let it go even though I’m heartbroken. However, now you’re saying you want to hold another wedding, and you want to make it extravagant? That’ll cost a lot of money. Son, do you think you run a bank?”“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll pay for my wedding with Jessica. I don’t need you and Dad to pay for it.”Even if they did not have to fork out any money, Olivia still felt reluctant.When she thought of how she foolishly went to the Hunt family and gave them tens of thousands to ask them to persuade Liberty not to get a divorce, she wanted to find a brick to slap herself. How could she have done something so stupid?When her son was done with the divorce, she was going back to that old man to ask for her money back.Old Mr. Hunt requested tens of thousands and promised to persuade Serenity to talk Liberty out of the divorce, but he failed to do so, so he naturall
“Not all of the appliances were bought by you, so don’t move everything.”Olivia was afraid Liberty would move the appliances they bought as well.“Don’t worry, Mrs. Brown. I won’t touch things I didn’t pay for. You can come to me if you find anything of yours missing.”Olivia snorted coldly and stopped speaking.Ring ring ring...Hank’s phone rang.It was from his boss. He quickly answered the phone when he saw the caller ID.The boss said something over the phone, and Hank’s expression sank. He said in a subdued voice, “I’ve finished my business, sir. I’ll go back to the office now to deal with it. Why were all the orders canceled? Don’t worry, sir. I’ll definitely deal with it and salvage those orders.”After hanging up the phone, he said to his parents, “Mom, Dad, something urgent cropped up in the office. I’m going back to work now. You two take a cab back.”He turned to Liberty and said, “Liberty, just move out before ten tonight. I’ll only be home at that time.”He lef
Serenity stopped the car.“Seren, did everything go well?” Jasmine asked with concern.Serenity smiled. “It went great.”Liberty got out of the car. She took out her access card and while swiping it, she said to the security guard, “I’m moving out. These are the movers I hired to help me.”The guard took a double take at the group of people and said, “Are you moving or tearing down your home? They even brought so many tools with them. Are they redecorating after the move as well?”“Yes, they’re here to redecorate.”However, it would not be her money to be spent anymore.The security guard did not ask more and it was fine to him as long as they were not here to pick a fight.With Liberty leading the way, the group of people entered Bright Boulevard.Along the way, many residents were attracted by the procession and stopped to watch.“Liberty, why did you bring so many people over?”Some people who knew Liberty took the opportunity to ask her when they greeted her.Liberty sm
“Wait, aren’t you the substitute driver?”Serenity was surprised when she recognized Jim.Jim smiled sheepishly. “I gave your husband my name card and told him he could find me if he needs anything. I can do anything as long as I’m paid.”Serenity supposed that there was not a smooth stream of business for a substitute driver and that doing other jobs part-time was better than staying idle at home, so she did not suspect that Jim was lying.“Thank you.”“Don’t thank me. I’m getting paid to do my job.”Jim finished speaking and hurriedly carried the sofa out with a colleague.Jasmine asked casually, “Do you know that person?”“Yeah, I’ve seen him a few times since he lives in Brynfield. He usually works as a substitute driver. He sent Zachary home twice when the latter got drunk.“I didn’t know that he had side jobs. I’ll ask for his name card later. We can hire him if we need something done in the future. I think he’s quite reliable.”Grandma May, who was helping to pack up S
After moving out those things that were moveable, what remained were the few items Hank bought with his own money.Everyone worked together and brought the appliances Hank purchased over to the entrance of the house before they began smashing the floor tiles and tearing down the drywall.The sounds of drilling, shattering, and breaking mixed into creating a cacophony.It affected the residents upstairs and downstairs.Liberty and Serenity felt embarrassed and hurriedly went to a store to buy some fruit to give to their immediate neighbors. They apologized and assured them that the job would be finished before dark.Since the sisters came bearing fruit to apologize and the neighbors were familiar with the sisters, they temporarily put up with the noise.For families with children who could not stand the sound, the adults took the children out for a walk.The sisters also bought a lot of food and gave it to the people who were tearing down the house.With a happy-looking Liberty,
Zachary said that unless it was an outstanding man, he would not introduce the man to Serenity’s best friend. It seemed he was living up to his words.Josh was a little regretful that he came at the wrong time.He looked at Jasmine, who was directing everyone to move Liberty’s stuff. When she saw him, she walked over and greeted him, “Mr. Bucham.”“Ms. Sox.”Josh smiled back and asked with concern, “Are you feeling better from your cold?”“Yes, thank you for your concern.”Serenity quietly took Zachary away so Josh and Jasmine could talk.When they were by themselves, she praised her husband. “Zachary, your colleague is quite brilliant. Is he also a director in your company? I saw him when you came out of the hotel.”“Yeah, he’s also a director with a very high position. Everyone calls him Mr. Bucham.”He suddenly leaned into Serenity’s ear and whispered, “He told me not to say, but since we’re husband and wife, there’s no harm telling you. Mr. Bucham has won the trust of our
After a lively afternoon, calm finally returned after dark.Back in the day, Liberty was especially attentive when setting up this small home and spent a lot of money on it. Now, all the appliances she bought were removed. She could not fit all of them into her rented house, so she picked some of the commonly used ones to keep and sell the rest as pre-owned items instead of moving them to her sister’s place.It was somewhat like a farewell to the past.Liberty’s rented house was not cleaned up yet, so it was not convenient to cook. Thus, she invited everyone to a hotel for dinner.It was also a celebration of regaining her freedom.Liberty happily bid farewell to her past. Meanwhile, Hank was not idle either.He went to Jessica’s rented apartment at nine o’clock in the evening.“Jessica, is this all you have?”Hank saw that Jessica did not have many things packed. He went up to her and asked her while pulling the suitcase, “Have you finished packing everything?”“I usually liv
