Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1048

Without realizing it, Hank had become his sister’s enabler for many years.

Mrs. Brown was at a loss for words.

The door opened.

Hank dropped the conversation with his mother, guessing that Jessica had come home.

As expected, when the door opened, Jessica walked in with two portions of fast food.

“Darling, you’re back. You’re right on time—let’s eat. I got two set meals for us.”

Jessica walked over, carrying the two set meals. She sat down beside Hank and opened a bag to take out one set meal and passed it to Hank. Then, she placed her portion on the coffee table, opened the fast food cover, and began to eat.

Hank looked at his mother, then looked at Jessica, and asked, “Darling, did you only get two sets? What about Mom and Dad?”

Jessica said as she ate, “I didn’t buy any for them. They can cook whatever they want. There are still two packets of instant noodles at home—enough for them to have one each. And there still are three eggs, enough for the three of you to have one each.”

When her in-laws cooked, they would cook very little. When her mother-in-law served them, she would serve her father-in-law and Hank a large portion. Mrs. Brown would then serve herself a large portion too, but would never serve her a portion.

When Jessica went to help herself, there would only be a little left in the pot.

Her mother-in-law did it on purpose.

Every time Jessica ate at home, her mother-in-law would deliberately not buy groceries, and even if she did buy some, she would buy food that Jessica disliked.

Hank hurriedly shoved his set meal into his mother’s hands to avoid another conflict erupting between his mother and wife.

Mrs. Brown’s heart ached for her son and she slammed the set meal down on the coffee table heavily. She stood up and said angrily, “Do you think I can’t afford a fast food set meal? I have a pension too! Son, let’s go. Call your dad up. We’re going to a restaurant!”

Jessica turned to look at Hank.

Hank immediately surrendered and chose his wife. He said to his mother, “Mom, you go with Dad.”

Mrs. Brown’s chest hurt with anger once again but finally left in a huff.

The family battle had a temporary ceasefire.
