Chapter 81
Liberty snapped back, “Hank, I take care of our child all day, but you only see me as some useless person who only eats and spends money unnecessarily.
I can take it because I want to give my son the best I can.
“But your sister’s kids have nothing to do with me.They’re not my responsibility.There’s no way I’m going to care for her kids! I can’t believe you want guardianship of her children.The burden of providing for them and their education would fall on us.
“The title deed doesn’t have my name, so it’s your business if you want to transfer the ownership toyour sister.
It’s also your problem if you can’t get the house back.
One thing though, you should return the renovation cost to me before you put her name on the deed.
“I won’t be able to get my money back when the house becomes hers.”
A shadow of gloom loomed over Hank.
“I said I’ll be giving you extra allowance.Isn’t that enough? You’re at home with a child anyway, so I don’t see the big deal of adding another two.Kids over ten years old are hardly a handful.You can just tutor them on their homework.
“If you think a thousand bucks isn’t enough, I’ll put in another five hundred.
You should be happy with a thousand and five hundred.
“So what if the burden of the kids’ wellbeing and education falls on us? They’re my sister’s kids.It’s the least we can do.I trust my sister.
She will return the house to me.
What do you mean by the renovation cost? I bought the house with my money.
Shouldn’t you contribute to the renovations since you’re living here too?
“The audacity of yours to ask me to repay you for the renovation cost.Dream on!”
Liberty glared at her husband.
Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach.
The couple was in a long-term relationship before tying the knot.
Hank was the perfect boyfriend and husband up until two years into the marriage.
