Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Serenity went to her sister's place.She opened the door and went inside the house to find her sister was already up.

Liberty was busy in the kitchen.

"Liberty."

"Seren, you're here."

Liberty came out of the kitchen and was happy to see her little sister.

"Have you eaten? I'm making a pot of pasta.Do you want a plate?"

"I'm good.I had breakfast.Have you started cooking? You don’t have to if you haven't because I brought you and Sonny breakfast."

"Not yet.Sonny had a fever last night.I didn't sleep much the whole night, so I got up late.Your brother-in-law had to get breakfast from the shop.He wasn't happy about it.He accused me of doing nothing all day and I could've made him breakfast since all I did was look after a child."

Liberty was hurt.

Serenity was furious for her sake.

"Why did Sonny have a fever? You should take him to see a doctor later even if the fevers gone in case it comes back.Seriously.I can’t believe my brother-in-law didn't bother to help and even yelled at you when Sonny was sick.

"Is my brother-in-law still insisting on going Dutch after I moved out, Liberty?" Liberty took a seat on the sofa and unwrapped the food.

She dug in and said, "I'll take Sonny later.He's still insisting on splitting the expenses.He said that all I do is spend money rather than earn my keep.He mentioned that I have no idea the pressure he's under.As part of the family, I should contribute to the household expenses.

"I bet his sister taught him that.My sister-in-law can't stop poking her face into our affairs after we got married.Your brother-in-law used to be good to me, and his sister ruined that."

Prior to handing in her resignation letter, Liberty worked her way up to the financial chief position.She was paid handsomely.

Liberty gave up a lot for love and marriage but received hate from her in-laws in return.

Liberty only spent her money on the home.

The clothes she bought were with Serenity’s money.

The shopping only came once in a while, and buying things like cosmetics were less frequent than new clothes.However, her in-laws would kick up a fuss about Liberty's spending whenever she bought new clothes and cosmetics.

Even if Liberty explained that it was with Serenity’s money, her in-laws would argue the gifted money was a joint asset with her husband, so she had no right to use it for herself.

"Liberty, why don't you send Sonny to a kindergarten? You can pick up your career again and earn as much as, if not more than your husband."

Serenity felt sorry for her sister.

While Serenity was living under the same roof with her sister and family, Serenity would take on all the housework to help her sister out.Now that she had moved out, Liberty got more on her plate.

"Your brother-in-law said to wait until Sonny is three or four before enrolling him in a kindergarten."
