Chapter 509
“Do you think we’d turn out fine if Serenity’s husband was related to the wealthiest Yorks? Your sister–in–law would’ve trampled all over us with the help of Mr. York.”
Thinking about the bad things he had done, Hank believed Jessica had a point. Hence, he quickly let go of the matter.
Mr. York was way up there while Serenity was not even worth the mention. She was not
blessed in life to become Mr. York’s wife.
The pair were lovey–dovey as they walked out of the hotel. Hank and Jessica came across Liberty at the hotel entrance.
Liberty was alone.
While Sonny was asleep, Liberty left Mrs. Lane at home to look after Sonny, so she could wait for Hank and Jessica here.
Liberty only lay in wait here for them because she deduced through the information and evidence provided by Zachary that Hank often brought Jessica to dine at the Wilt spoon Hotel.
Although she had a falling out with Hank, it still hurt Liberty badly. After tying the knot with Hank, Liberty gave him a son, ran the household, and often attended to the needs of his parents and sister’s family. Yet, Hank would accuse her of financial dependence, spending money recklessly, and doing nothing at home.
Hank called her useless and a glutton because Liberty frequently asked Serenity for help even though she was only looking after a child.
Liberty would not be able to produce enough milk if she did not consume more food. Hank criticized her for trying to starve their son. Sonny was breastfed until a year old.
Hank was stingy toward his wife. On the rare occasion of a good mood, he would take her out to the food trucks. The place could fill her belly without costing a lot.
However, Hank would often bring Jessica to dine at the Wiltspoon Hotel, check on Jessica’s well–being, send gifts, and treat her like a princess.
Seeing that it was Liberty, Jessica tauntingly clung onto Hank’s arm.
Liberty did not miss her provoking gesture.
Hank stopped in his tracks before leading Jessica to draw close to Liberty. He asked coldly, What are you doing here? Where’s Sonny? Didn’t you say that Sonny couldn’t leave your side since he’s scared stiff?
