Chapter 146 Serenity‘s sister was her rock. Now that Serenity was all grown up and had the means, it was her turn to protect her sister.
“Seren.”
Liberty held onto her sister and said, “Don‘t go. The injury is only superficial. Plus, I didn‘t let him get away with it. I chased him down a few streets with a knife and scared him out of his wits. I trust he won‘t be violent to me anymore.”
“If he has done it once, he will do it again, Liberty. He won‘t know fear if you don‘t fight back when he lays his hands on you. He’ll only assault you again.”
There should be zero tolerance toward domestic violence!
“I know. That‘s why I didn‘t give in and beat him up too. Teven went after him with a knife. You should‘ve seen the scared look on his face. His legs were shaking. I heard that you must win the first fight between couples, and I won! He should think twice before laying his hands on me next time.”
Liberty pulled her sister back firmly, keeping Serenity from getting even with Hank. “He‘s back at his parents‘ home. You‘ll be facing his entire family if you go there. It won‘t go well for you. Don‘t go. I won‘t tolerate his
behavior anymore. I‘ll fight back if he screams and raises his hand at me.”
“Liberty, why didn‘t you tell me?” Heartbroken , Serenity caressed her sister‘s bruised face and asked in distress, “Does it still hurt, Liberty ? D*mn Hank! How could he be rough with you? You‘ve been together for so many years and even gave him a son. I can‘t believe he hit you.”
Liberty curled her lips bitterly. “He has been disgusted by the way I look since a long time ago.
“Did Zachary come over too?”
“He‘s here. He‘s playing with Sonny in the living room,” Serenity replied.
Liberty spoke in a muted tone to urge her sister, “Seren, you see how my marriage is breaking down. At the end of the day, it‘s all because I quit my job and trusted your brother –in–law when he said he‘d take care of me. You need to always be financially independent. No matter what, women should have their own source of income.
“Don‘t believe the bullsh*t men say about supporting you financially. It‘ll put you in a passive position. It‘s fine if he follows through with his marriage vows and loves you forever, but if you get a man like your brother–in–law … Look at what happened to me.. Also, you have to take care of your appearance Take time for yourself and watch your figure. Men are lying when they say they‘ll love you
no matter what you become! They‘re shallow and their values are only skin–deep.”
“I will, Liberty.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
