Sonny refused Duncan and slid out of bed himself, looking for his mother while crying. When he searched the house but still did not find Liberty, he cried even harder.“Sonny, do you want some candy? Don’t cry. Dunc will give you candy.”Duncan tried to coax him.“I don’t want candy. I want Mommy...”“I’ll bring you outside and buy you a windmill, okay?”“I don’t want windmill. I want Mommy...”Sonny’s cries grew louder.Duncan was unable to soothe Sonny no matter how he tried. He did not know how to coax children.In the end, he took out his cell phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Sonny. “Don’t cry, okay? Come here, I’ll let you play with my phone. We can watch cartoons.”Sonny slapped his phone away with one hand.“I don’t want phone.”Duncan scratched his head, feeling a headache. “I thought children these days could be dealt with easily if they have a phone to play with.”Sonny did not want to play with his phone.However, there were many harmful effects of children
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m mainly concerned about Zachary and his wife,” Duncan said frankly, seemingly worried that Liberty would misunderstand him.“You went to visit them, so how are they now?” Duncan asked concernedly.Liberty sighed before she said, “You and Zachary go a long way back, don’t you? In fact, both of you are good friends and aren’t simply related in business. Mr. Lewis, even you side with Zachary to deceive us.“You know Zachary’s temper more than I do. He obstinately insists that things will be fine as long as he keeps Seren there. He won’t even allow Seren to walk out of his villa. I noticed that he’s quite weary, whereas Seren is slightly disheartened.”Duncan opened his mouth as he wanted to speak up for his good friend. However, he had no idea what to say. He had said good things about him countless times. He said so much that he felt thirsty and drank quite a lot of water at Liberty’s place.“Zachary has to come around to it now, otherwise we won’t be
Nevertheless, before the couple could celebrate, Hank’s boss had urged him to return to the office and continue working.After that, Hank caught sight of the interview regarding how Mr. Zachary pampered his wife.Serenity’s husband, Zachary, turned out to be that Mr. Zachary York. Hank did suspect that before, but Zachary denied it.In the end, Zachary was really that Mr. Zachary York.When Jessica learned the news, she was madly jealous. She was jealous of how fortunate Serenity was to be able to rise from rags to riches. Previously, Jessica was also jealous when she found out that Mrs. Stone was Liberty and her sister’s aunt.Jessica had been consumed by jealousy the entire afternoon, which caused Hank to feel unhappy.It was Serenity’s business to marry Zachary. Was Jessica jealous because she looked down on Hank?“Liberty!”Hank finally spoke and started bombarding questions at Liberty, “Is that man Mr. Lewis? Mr. Lewis walked out of your house. What did both of you do? I
Liberty stared at her ex-husband grimly and said, “Serenity is too busy to meddle in your affairs. Now that your career hasn’t been smooth, it shows that there are issues with your ability. Don’t shift the blame onto other people. You should identify your own problem.”Only now did her sister find out that she was married to Zachary. How would her sister have the time to trick Hank?“It must be either Serenity’s or Zachary’s doing. I’m sure Serenity had Zachary trick me, which caused Jessica and me to be down on our luck at work.”Hank’s eyes were filled with hatred.He was no fool. Just as he divorced Liberty, his career took a downward spiral. Every day, his boss would tell him off. With all his reward this month deducted, he could only receive his basic salary. He could no longer stay in Waltham Electronics.Currently, everyone in the company was looking forward to his leaving.If no one had tricked him, his life would not have gone downhill all of a sudden, considering that h
Jessica was aware that Hank attended a social function, so he must have drunk a lot of alcohol. She called to remind him to drive carefully on the road, but she did not remind him not to drive after he had alcohol.Hank grew upset when comparing Jessica with Liberty.All he could do was delude himself. ‘Jessica is still young, so she doesn’t know how to be concerned about others. She’ll gradually get better at this.’Hank fixed his eyes on Liberty’s rented apartment for a long time before he drove away. He even deliberately went to a florist’s shop to buy a bouquet of flowers and brought it home.He returned to his rented apartment and opened the door, only to see his mother seated on the couch with a furious look. His father and Jessica were nowhere to be seen in the living room.Chelsea’s family had returned to their hometown after the kids’ school reopened.However, both Chelsea and his brother-in-law lost their jobs. They requested Hank to look for jobs for them.At this poi
“Hank, you’ve forgotten about me after marrying your wife, huh? This isn’t how you behaved in the past. You must be bewitched by that mistress so much that you want to abandon me. What a tough life I have. Why did I give birth to such a son who married a mistress?“Liberty, I regret it. I’ve learned from my mistakes. You’re still better. You could cook and do household chores. You also treated me well and brought good luck to your husband. When you were around, Hank was doing well in his career. He was lucky and wealthy. Our family was living in happiness.“Once you left, Hank started to be down on his luck in his career. His income has reduced greatly. Even Chelsea and her husband have lost their jobs. As for me, I’ve been bullied every day… I regret it. I regret it so much!”While bawling, Olivia criticized her son for being unfilial. She recalled how her family was living well when Liberty was around.However, tears did not flow out of her eyes. She was merely wailing.Indeed,
“Mom, you’d better not go to Liberty and pour out your feelings. Don’t wash our dirty linen in public. You’re already so old, yet you’re under the impression that Liberty will take pity on you if you vent to her. All she’ll do is gloat over it.”Hank expressed all his dissatisfaction in one go.His words made Olivia grimace, and she was at a loss for words.“Mom, think about it.”With that, Hank turned around and walked away.“Where are you going?”Seeing that her son was about to go out, Olivia asked him.“You stomped on the flowers that I planned to give to my wife. I’m going out to buy a new bouquet of flowers.”Olivia was speechless.Hank left without looking back. He went out to buy Jessica another bouquet of flowers.When he returned, he saw his mother weeping on the couch. Distressed, he ignored his mother. He entered his room with the new bouquet of flowers.Jessica was watching a video using her phone on the bed. She would chortle from time to time.At the sight of
Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Hank hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the face. “Darling, thank you for being considerate.”“We’re a married couple. I just want us to live much better than you and Liberty did.”At the mention of Liberty, Hank clearly stiffened. Nevertheless, he did not say anything. He soon carried Jessica to bed.Every moment of the wedding night was precious indeed.On the other hand, Serenity strolled outside the hilltop villa. Only when her legs were tired did she return to the house.Zachary silently followed behind her.Every time he wanted to speak to her, she would say, “You liar, stay away from me. I don’t want to talk to you now.”This caused Zachary to become submissive. All he could do was silently follow behind her.By the time Serenity returned to the house, her phone was already fully charged.She unplugged the charger and picked up her phone, only to see many incoming missed calls and WhatsApp messages. There were also text messa
