Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Hank’s mom said Liberty’s education was for nothing. It was not like she could share thefinancial burden at home.

A woman who could manage the house and earn an income suited Hank best.

Most importantly, Liberty did not bother to primp herself. She lost her beauty and grace, content withbecoming a fat and unkempt blob. Liberty was no longer the person she was before marriage. Hankwould not dream of taking Liberty to social engagements , worried that his colleagues and clients wouldmake fun of him.

Liberty had nothing on Jessica. Hank’s words saw Liberty’s blood pressure rising.

Liberty hung up the call.

She omitted that she had invited Serenity and her husband over for dinner tonight.

If both the in-laws and newlyweds came for dinner, there was bound to be a huge fight between themonce the in laws were gone. Nevertheless, why should Liberty stop her sister and her husband fromcoming when her in-laws were free to

come at any time?

Liberty had a say in the family too.

Although Hank paid for the house deposit and mortgage, Liberty contributed to the renovation andfurnishing. All her savings were spent on the home.

With that in mind, Liberty regained confidence.

She would get extra groceries since Serenity and her husband were joining for dinner.

It was a good thing Serenity enjoyed seafood too. Well, if splitting the difference was what Hankwanted, Liberty would keep track of the in-laws’ spending at their home too. It was time to settle theaccounts with Hank once the in-laws left.

By going halves, Liberty could not run the house on her own.

Starting today, Liberty would not lend a hand in Hank’s affairs. He could handle his own clothes, socks,and meals for all she cared. Hank could forget her waiting on him hand and foot ever again.

Hank was such a charmer, convincing her to quit her job when they were newlyweds because he hadthe means to take care of her. She was to be his prettiest bride at home. Liberty had to resign whenshe got pregnant early in the marriage. She could not watch her waistline after the birth of

napici vo

Sonny. For the sake of breastfeeding, Liberty ate and expanded sideways.

Her change in figure was met with Hank’s criticism,

Just as Liberty was staring at her son in the stroller, Sonny turned around and cried, “Mama.”

Liberty hummed and caressed her son’s head. She uttered softly, “You’re a good boy, Sonny.” “Mama…Aunt Swer.”

“Are you thinking about your Aunt Seren? I invited her for dinner tonight. You’ll see her later.”

Getting the message , Sonny reflected joy on his young face. He was closest to his mother and aunt.

Her son’s young and innocent face gave Serenity a reason to put her anger aside. Since her in-lawsrefused to help and Sonny was still young, Liberty had to endure another year before she could returnto the workplace.

Liberty would not be considering her in-laws’ persistent suggestion to have another kid.

She barely held it together with one child. Liberty could forget about regaining a career if she hadanother one. Without a job and an income , Liberty had no say in the family.

Hank said that his parents could not care for Sonny as it was time for them to relax and enjoy life, butLiberty

knew for a fact that her in-laws took her sister-in-law’s children to school and back. Her parents -in-lawwould rather care for their daughter’s children than spend time with their son’s child.

At the end of the day, they saw Liberty as an outsider.

Between their daughter’s children and daughter-in-law, Liberty’s parents-in-law made it clear throughtheir actions who they favored.
