Serenity was about to say that her sister would never forgive infidelity but hummed a response on second thought. The couple did not exchange another word during the journey. Zachary did not do well at small talks while Serenity was preoccupied with her sister’s marriage to engage in conversation. It was pin-drop silence in the car. Zachary did not even put the music on. Tilting her head, Serenity looked at the scenery outside the window. She waited until they were reaching Bright Boulevard before giving her sister a call. Serenity was relieved that her sister picked up the call. “Liberty, are you and Sonny up? I made quite a lot of sandwiches, so I brought you and Sonny some.” Liberty stopped walking and stared at her son in the stroller. She said, “Sonny isn’t awake yet. Seren, I’m not at home. I took Sonny out for a stroll and somehow ended up near your bookshop. I’ll just head to your shop instead of going home.” “Oh, I see. Where are you now? Can you drop me a pin?
Married at First Sight Chapter 288
What should Liberty do if she failed to get custody of Sonny following the divorce? The Browns were a nasty piece of work, in the same class as Serenity’s relatives. Serenity dared not imagine Sonny’s life if he were to stay with the Brown family. The Hunt sisters had been caring for Sonny since the day he was born. Serenity loved her nephew like her own. Her heart sank at the thought that the custody of her nephew would be given to the Browns. “Liberty, if we do get there, we must fight for Sonny’s custody. Sonny will suffer and be bullied in their hands,” Serenity said softly. Biting her lip, Liberty replied in a hushed voice, “I’ll do everything I can to secure full custody.” While behind the wheel, Zachary chimed in. “You can go on with the divorce proceedings and fight for custody after you find a job. Otherwise, it’ll be easy to lose the custody battle.” Although Liberty was Sonny’s primary carer and the child was closer to his mother than his father, Liberty had n

“Sonny didn’t finish the sandwiches, so I ate his leftovers.” Liberty did not have much of an appetite. She ate after Sonny and finished the sandwiches in the lunch box. Neither hungry nor full, Liberty simply did not feel like eating. Jasmine already had her breakfast. Serenity helped herself to the plate of pasta. She slurped down her pasta and finished the whole plate in minutes. While she cleared away her dirty dishes and cleaned them in the kitchen, Jasmine came in and whispered, “Seren, did you notice your sister’s swollen eyes? Has she been crying?” Serenity quietly washed the dishes. A while later, she spoke softly, “Shawn was at a business dinner last night and saw my brother-in-law together with another woman. They were rather intimate at the event. It would be hard to believe that there’s nothing going on between them. Shawn only remembered who he was when he got home last night and told me about it. I filled my sister in on the whole thing.” “Huh?” Jasmine

“Seren, starting tomorrow, you can pick Sonny up while I jog to your shop. I want to lose weight!” Liberty was not getting into shape to save her marriage. It was for her own self-confidence.“Okay, ” Serenity replied. She had told her sister to work out before it turned into a health issue. “Seren.” Liberty suddenly put her arms around her sister and cried. In fact, she bawled out loudly. All the years she devoted to the relationship had come to this. Liberty would be lying to say it was not eating her up inside. However, she put on a brave face so her son did not see her cry. Holding her sister tightly, Serenity could not stop the tears in her eyes too. It was like fifteen years ago when she first heard her parents’ passing in an accident. Liberty went to fetch her from school to bring her home. Serenity had only walked out of the school gate when her sister held her and burst into tears. Serenity had no idea what was going on then. Her sister had only said that thei

Liberty uttered gratefully, “Seren, Zachary is a good man. You’re right about him. He’s always by your side whenever it gets tough for us. He spared no resources and effort to help us. Be a good wife to him.” Serenity replied, “I will, Liberty.” Her sister would be upset if Serenity were to tell her that her marriage with Zachary was only for six months. They were only a married couple by name. Serenity should keep it from her sister for now. “Don’t lose faith in Zachary because of my marriage. Although Zachary doesn’t talk much, he prefers action over words.” “I won’t.” Liberty was worried that her marriage might have a bad influence on her sister’s mindset and marriage. The way Liberty saw it, Zachary was a great man. He was good to her sister. Well, no one would know whether it would change in the future. Hank was good to her in the past too. Zachary got to the office and was about to get the secretary to summon Josh over when Josh knocked and entered the room.

Zachary was aware that Liberty had been job hunting for a while, but she got nothing so far. It was difficult as Liberty wanted her old job back. This was the reason she had not been able to find a job till this day. Now that she had found out Hank was cheating on her, Liberty would not be fussy with work. Zachary believed she would soon find a job. “This is easy. You could just give her a job.” “Serenity had asked me whether our company is hiring a finance director, but even the finance department is at full workforce at the moment. Besides, it’s not the best idea to hire her sister unless I want to blow my cover. I didn’t help her with that and left Liberty to find a job herself.” Zachary did not feel guilty for not assigning Liberty a post in his company.He was a boss with principles who valued talent. Liberty took a three-year-long career break, so she was rusty in the work operation. It was not easy to get into York Corporation, to begin with. Since Liberty was start

“What’s on your mind?” Josh nosily asked Zachary. Snapping out of his thoughts, Zachary replied faintly, “Not you, for sure.” Josh chuckled. “I’d have to quit if you’re thinking about me. I want to get married and have children.” Zachary glared at him. “I should get back to work. You’ve been overly efficient at work lately. I’m tired trying to keep up with you.” Josh finished his glass of water and got up. “I’m glad that’s finally over.” The employees had had it rough at work because Zachary was jealous, thinking something was going on between Serenity and Shawn. It would only be worse for them if the couple had an even bigger argument one day. With that in mind, Josh prayed that the couple would always remain lovey-dovey. Well, they might not be in love now, but it was only a matter of time. Zachary had developed feelings for Serenity, but he was stubborn and refused to admit to it. As his feelings for her grew deeper, he would lay bare his heart to Serenity without

Several cars drove along and quickly pulled up in front of Serenity’s bookshop. Serenity and Jasmine, who had just entered the shop, looked at the fleet of cars. Serenity’s face fell when her keen eye caught the cars belonging to her cousins. These people were relentless. With Mike leading the younger pack, they walked into the shop. They came bearing two baskets of fruits each. “Serenity.” With a smile on his face, Mike put his baskets of fruits on the cash register and said to Serenity, “I bought you and your sister some fresh fruits.” Spotting Sonny, he asked, “Is this your sister’s son? He looks like your sister.” He then reached out to stroke Sonny’s head, but Sonny shied away, refusing to let the man touch him. Mike responded with a grin, “Don’t be scared, little guy. I’m your uncle.” The rest wanted to place the other fruit baskets on the cash register but since there was no more room on the counter, they placed them on the floor instead. Serenity asked faint

Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa
