Liberty felt that her sister’s suggestion was not bad, and she replied, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”Zachary looked at the time and said gently, “Liberty, Seren, once we reach town, let’s go eat first. We adults won’t be hungry, but Sonny is still a kid—he won’t be able to hold out and will probably get hungry soon.”Serenity looked at the time. Without realizing it, it was already almost noon.She said in agreement, “Then let’s go eat first. I haven’t eaten my hometown’s specialty for a long time now too.”“When we get back, we’ll go ahead and immediately prepare to file a lawsuit,” Serenity said, directed at Liberty.Liberty did not have anything to add.Considering Liberty’s shop was about to open for its first day of business soon and she would be very busy, Serenity said thoughtfully, “Liberty, I’ll handle this. Your shop will have its grand opening the day after tomorrow and you’ll definitely be swarmed. I work with Jasmine, so Jasmine can watch the shop while I go handl

Liberty said with an impassive face, “If your wife finds out that you ordered flowers for me and she comes yelling at me for seducing her husband, that would be hilarious. If I wanted to seduce a man, I would definitely seduce someone better and more outstanding than you are. Why would I pick up trash I’ve already thrown away? Are there no men left in the world?”Hank flushed in embarrassment. In Liberty’s view, he was a scumbag. Considering her temperament, she would never get back together with an ex.He really did not understand what his mother and sister thought. They treated Liberty so badly in the past and now wanted him to win Liberty back. What did they think she was?Someone who would come and go when beckoned with the wave of a hand.“Liberty, I admit I was wrong, but that’s all in the past now. Now, we… can’t be husband and wife, but we can still be friends. For Sonny’s sake, could you at least give me some leeway?”Liberty looked at her son. He was innocent and pure an

“But Jessica’s family isn’t good—not as good as Serenity. Back then, Serenity not only would help with the housework and make breakfast but would also help with taking care of Sonny. In the past, no matter what time I got up, Serenity would prepare breakfast for us three and I only had to eat and go to work.“Now, Jessica won’t get up early to make breakfast for us and even wants me to get up and make it for her. Her family only knows how to ask for favors but they don’t help in any way.”Liberty felt furious hearing that. “That was because you treated my sister like a free housekeeper! Do you remember why we argued last year? You said my sister was staying in your house for free and what was the use of paying two to three thousand dollars a month for food?“Now there’s no one being a free housekeeper for you guys, you’re saying my sister was good? Mr. Brown, let me tell you, if it weren’t for me, Seren would have moved out long ago. Do you think she was happy to be a housekeeper fo

Sonny looked at his dad and said, “That’s Dunc. Dunc would never bully Mom.”Hank was silent for a moment before he asked, “Do you like Dunc a lot?”Sonny shook his head. “I don’t like Dunc, but he’s not a bad man.”Dunc was a good person, but that did not have anything to do with whether or not he liked him.“Sonny, Dunc is going to take Mom away from you. He’ll become a bad guy in the future. What you need to do is stop Dunc and Mom from being alone together. If Mom wants to go on a date with Dunc, you need to cry and throw a tantrum, get it?”Sonny learned the way his Uncle Zak frowned when he was angry and said loudly, “Dunc likes Sonny! He’s fighting Mom for Sonny, not fighting Sonny for Mom! Dunc looks scary and Sonny doesn’t like it, but Dunc is not a bad guy!“And Mom never goes out with Dunc! Every time Dunc comes over, he gives Sonny a pinwheel. Sonny doesn’t like pinwheels anymore.”Dunc did not even know how to change it up.Hank was speechless.He stopped and look

Duncan too knew that Liberty did not need his help—she had the Stone and York families helping her now.After a moment of silence, he said, “Anyway, go ahead and do your thing. I’ll head back lest my mother calls to urge me again.”“Alright. Have a safe drive, Mr. Lewis.”Liberty walked Duncan out of her shop.Duncan looked at Hank’s car and asked Liberty, “That’s your ex-husband’s car, right?”“I saw him get out of it. It’s probably his new car.”Hank had changed his wife and his car too.If Zachary had not punished Hank, Hank would have been living very comfortably. He would have money, a new wife, and a new car…Duncan wanted to walk over and poke a hole in Hank’s tires, but when he thought of how Hank would likely be unable to leave for a while with his tires punctured and would stay in Liberty’s diner to eat, Duncan gave up on his thoughts.“In the future, if that family comes to try and harass you again, just give me a call and I’ll get someone to come over and help you
