Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1047

Hank sat down on the sofa and after a moment of silence he said, “That Mr. Lewis seems to be pursuing Liberty.”

“No, it doesn’t just seem like it. He really is pursuing Liberty. If he didn’t feel anything for Liberty, why is he constantly going to Liberty’s diner?”

Mrs. Brown heard her son bring this matter up and took this opportunity to advise him. “Hank, look at how Liberty has opened her own business now. And a breakfast diner at that. With her cooking skills, business will definitely be good.

“She’s also a very hardworking woman who knows how to get by and is now losing weight. She’s not as ugly as she was before. You see, she can even attract top executives like Mr. Lewis, which means she’s still immensely valuable on the market.

“The main thing is, right now, her family is strongly backing her. Don’t even mention that Serenity is Zachary York’s wife—just her rich aunt alone is impressive. I’ve heard Mrs. Stone has a lot of say in the Stone family.

“As long as you remarry Liberty, no matter if it’s the Stones or the Yorks supporting you, it would be of great help to you. You could set up your own company and be your own boss. How good is that?”

Mrs. Brown thought optimistically.

“That Yates woman can still be your lover—she’s young and pretty enough and has a hot body. But as a wife, she’s not good enough. Look at her! Every day, she goes out the moment it’s bright outside and comes back only when it’s dark. She doesn’t do house chores either. Such a lazy woman won’t help you amass riches.

“And who knows what she goes out to do every day? She’s not even looking for a job but she still dresses up so fancily to go out every day. Hank, be careful that she doesn’t cuckold you.

“I reminded you at the beginning that Liberty is better when it comes to getting by.”

Hank’s expression was dark as he said impatiently, “Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that Jessica’s in charge of the renovations for our marital home? She goes out every day first thing in the morning to keep an eye on the workers doing the renovation. I go there to check on the progress often too.

“Do you think managing the renovations is easy? Back then, Liberty went out early and came back late to watch over the workers during the whole renovating process too.

“Jessica’s the youngest of her family and rarely did housework. She’s still young. You need to give her a chance to hone herself. Don’t keep comparing her to Liberty. How old is she and how old is Liberty?”

Hank had chased his sister away, but his mother was still of one mind with his sister and was hostile toward Jessica.

“They can’t bear to spend their own money but keep coming to ask me to lend them money. When I refused, she even shamelessly went to harass Liberty. Then, when I chased her out, she even packed up everything useful and everything edible in our home and took them with her when she left! Mom, the daughter you gave birth to is a leech—a leech who only preys on her own family!”

As the saying goes, out of ten daughters, nine would be leeches, and Chelsea was the worst kind of leech among them.

In the past, Hank had not cared because he was richer than his sister at the time.

After his relationship with Liberty had lost all passion, he felt that his sister was truly family for life while Liberty was anything but an outsider, so he was always partial toward his parents and his sister.

Now, things were no longer what they used to be—Hank had different thoughts now.
