Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 119

“Hank, you want to go Dutch with my sister when she doesn‘t have a job. She‘s at home raising your

kid, yet you have the nerve to go halves with her. What‘s the point of my sister having a husband then?

“You always say that my sister doesn‘t do anything at home, so she fulfilled your wish and did nothing

today. Oh, wait… My sister still did half of the work. At least, she bought the ingredients, measured the

pasta, and prepared a pot of water for you. All you need to do is cook it yourself.”

Hank opened his mouth and wanted to say something , but Serenity did not give him a chance to

speak. She continued , “Hank, do you think that your house cleans itself every day? Sonny is still

young, so when he plays with his toys, he likes to put them all over the floor and he can‘t pick up after

himself.

“You don‘t think that those toys put themselves away, do you? Also, who do you think takes care of

your meals every day? Isn‘t my sister doing your dirty laundry too?

“Didn‘t my sister make three meals a day for you?

“You only resent my sister for not having a job and income. If it wasn‘t for my sister taking such good

care of the household, would you be able to concentrate at work?

“This home is shared by the two of you. My sister is in charge of household matters while you‘re the

breadwinner of the family. You can‘t say that my sister doesn‘t do anything for your family just because

she doesn‘t have a job. In fact, my sister has it harder than you at work. Why don‘t you and my sister

switch roles? You can do laundry, cook, take care of the baby, and clean up the house while my sister

goes to work.”

Liberty‘s income before marriage was not much lower than Hank‘s.

Hank opened his mouth several times after being refuted by Serenity, but he was speechless. After a

while, he said sheepishly , “Serenity, I only said one sentence, but you gave me such a long lecture as

if I‘ve abused your sister. Aren‘t you busy at the store? If your business isn‘t good and you don‘t make

much, just close your business and work for someone. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Isn‘t Zachary working in a big company ? You can ask him to pull some strings so you can join his

company. It‘s better to get a few thousand dollars a month than to sustain a business.”

Serenity said coldly, “You don‘t have to worry about my finances. I make enough for my expenses and

have some spare change.”

“I–I‘m going to cook.”

Hank knew that his sister–in–law was angry and did not

continue talking. He turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Serenity took a few deep breaths. Liberty was not ready to get a divorce yet, so Serenity had to put up

with Hank. Serenity would go all out on Hank if he dared complain about her sister again when Liberty

gets a job and prepares for the divorce.

She entered Liberty‘s room and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, gently touching Sonny. She

knew that Liberty was only putting up with this because of her child. Hearing the door opening, Liberty

turned her head and saw that it was Serenity. She got up, walked towards Serenity, and said softly,

“Serenity, your brother–in–law won‘t listen to what you say. Don‘t worry about me. I‘ll protect myself

until I give up on him. “Aren‘t you going to buy a gift for Zachary ? You should get going then. Don‘t

worry about me. I‘m fine.”

“Then I‘ll go shopping now. Call me if you need anything. Tell me if he dares hit you. I will never allow

anyone to hit my sister!”

Liberty nodded. She endured so much before because she loved Hank

At this moment, Liberty only felt disappointment toward Hank. She was only getting by for the time

being for Sonny‘s sake because she was not capable enough to gain custody. Hank would not be able

to threaten her ii she got

back on her feet.

Serenity left under Liberty‘s urging.

When Serenity left, Hank had just finished cooking a dish and brought it out from the kitchen. Seeing

that Serenity was about to leave, he asked perfunctorily, “Serenity, have you eaten?”

“Yeah.” Serenity casually responded and left.

Hank did not cook all the dishes that Liberty prepared and only made one dish. He forked a piece of his

vegetable , put it into his mouth, tasted it, and spat it out immediately.
