Chapter 330
Hank twisted the door handle but failed to open the door. Liberty had locked the door.

He knocked.
“Liberty, open up.”
Liberty came to open the door, but she blocked the doorway to keep him from entering the room. She asked, “What?”
“I have something I want to discuss with you. Let me in.”
This was originally the couple‘s master bedroom, but now it was occupied by Liberty.
Hank was a little displeased, but in order to coax and persuade Liberty to help with the school run for his sister‘s children, he held back his temper.
“Can‘t it wait till tomorrow? It‘s already late now.”
“It‘s only 11. I usually come back during this time after dinner parties.”
Liberty guessed that Hank wanted to talk to her about something having to do with her mother–in–law and sister in-law. She was curious too, so she stepped to the side and said, “Go back to your room to sleep when you‘re done.”
Hank cursed in his heart, ‘I just couldn‘t hold it in that night because I drank... Do you really think I wanted to touch you?‘
However, his mouth said, “Wait, I‘ll go get something.”
He turned around and quickly headed to the room where he now slept. He picked up a small brocade box containing a pearl necklace he bought specially for Liberty after work earlier. However, it was not an expensive pearl necklace. It only cost a couple hundred dollars.
He then brought the small brocade box into the master bedroom.
Serenity sat on the loveseat in the room, waiting for him.
Hank entered the room and went to see his son first. Seeing the little boy sleeping soundly, his heart softened and he leaned down to kiss the boy‘s cheek. He caressed his son‘s face before standing up straight and turning around to sit next to Liberty
