Chapter 285 Liberty was not at the market getting groceries. She had been looking for a job during the day and making a detour to the market while on her way home. The produce at the market tended to be cheaper at night, so she could save a bit of money this way.
Although Liberty had not gotten a job and could not rely on her husband, she had not maxed out her resources. It was a good thing Liberty took her sister‘s advice to save up some money back then.
Her sister was against Liberty quitting her job and getting ready for pregnancy after getting married. Her sister said that women should have their own income instead of relying completely on men no matter before or after marriage.
All was good if the husband was good to the wife.
Once the husband fell out of love and started cheating, the wife, who was without a job or an income, would be in an unfavorable position
and be sunk into oblivion.
Liberty had been foolish.
She trusted her relationship with Hank was solid and that Hank would never betray her.
He told her to fork out the money to renovate their home. Liberty believed she should deck out their love nest. Since she was also part of the home, she promised Hank to spend hundreds of thousands in her savings to renovate the house.
Hank told her to quit her job and prepare herself for pregnancy. He would be supporting her financially.
She believed his sweet nothings and handed in her resignation despite her boss‘s retention offers. She went from working in the office to building her home.
What did she get in the end?
Hurt.

Liberty pushed her son in the stroller as she walked to her sister’s bookshop
She did not go to Brynfield for fear she might be a bother to her brother –in–law so early in the morning.
While strolling, she could not stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks as she reminisced about the old times.
Liberty thought she would not be sad since she had braced herself for the divorce. Still, she overestimated herself. She was sad, terribly sad.
