Liberty sneered. “He was the one who insisted on going halves, so I just did what he wanted. How is it right that he can do whatever he wants to me when he’s angry? You’re distressed when you see him like this, but can’t you see how he beat me up too?“He’s your precious son, but I’m human too! Yes, my parents are dead, but even if I’m an orphan, I won’t let you abuse me!“Are you gonna come at me one by one, or all together? Come at me! I’ll be straight with you. If you don’t want to be with me anymore, just say the word and we’ll get a divorce. Don’t you think you can get away with abusing me! I’m not a pushover! If you dare bully or beat me up again, I’ll make sure to drag your whole family to hell before I die!“Hank Brown, I told you long ago that if you ever dare lay your hands on me, you’d better beat me to death because if I’m alive, you should sleep with one eye open. Otherwise, I’ll chop you to pieces and mince you up!”Liberty glared at her in-laws fiercely.If they had

Serenity said, “Thanks, Jas.”Jasmine smiled. “Don’t mention it! You’ve always closed up for the night in the past, so I’ve been taking advantage of you. I’ll only feel better now by making up for it.”Serenity accepted her friend’s offer and picked up the clothes she bought before bidding Jasmine goodbye and walking out of the bookstore. When she opened the car door, she placed the bag of clothes on the passenger seat and said to Zachary, “You can head home first. I need to go to the market to buy some vegetables. If you can, cook some pasta while waiting. Otherwise, just wait till I get home.”Zachary glanced at her e-bike and said, “Where’s your new car?”“I left the house later than usual today, so I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. That’s why I took the bike.”Serenity put on her helmet and said, “I’m leaving.”Without waiting for Zachary to reply, Serenity rode the bike away.Zachary was left speechless.Serenity did things in a hurry sometimes, which was a contras

Zachary was in dismay. However, on second thought, Callum recommending Serenity’s handicrafts would only mean more money for Serenity. Since Serenity was his wife, he could still reap some benefits from it. With this in mind, Zachary no longer felt too depressed about it.When Serenity finished cooking, she brought all of the dishes and placed them on the table.The couple took their seats and had dinner together.Zachary was in a good mood and ate with much gusto.He had to admit that Serenity had great cooking skills and he was blessed to have her.After the meal, Serenity washed the dishes and picked up the bag of clothes from the couch. She retrieved the clothes from the bag and handed them to Zachary. “Mr. York, try these two sets of clothes and see if they fit?“You’ve been of great help to me, so I think treating you to a meal isn’t enough. That’s why I bought you two sets of new clothes and ties to match. They’re all in black, your favorite color.”Zachary had guessed lo

Zachary was speechless again.He had no idea what he should talk with her about.The young couples around them were newlyweds and behaving intimately, interlocking their fingers as they walked together. The couples with children were focused on their kids, so they had more things to talk about; unlike them, who had neither feelings nor children.It was an onerous task for them to chat.Seeing that Zachary was at a loss for words again, Serenity smiled and stood up, before pulling him up too. “Let’s go back so you won’t feel uncomfortable, wondering if I’ll jump you at any moment.”“Serenity, you’re a girl!”“So what if I’m a girl? I’m just saying…”Serenity pulled him away, but she only pulled on his sleeve without touching his hand for fear he might wash his hands a hundred times when he got home.“Didn’t you see the trending story two days ago? It was about Ms. Stone and Mr. York. Ms. Stone really likes him, so she confessed to him and wooed him openly. Men will pursue the wo

Zachary finally felt the benefits of being married.He left for work with the insulated lunch box.While on the way to the office in the car, he savored the breakfast that his wife prepared for him with love.He ate it with much gusto and felt satisfied.The driver and the bodyguard who sat in the same car as Zachary were a little puzzled. The breakfast Serenity prepared was extremely simple, yet the picky Zachary relished it. Perhaps, Serenity’s cooking skills were excellent.After Zachary left, Serenity routinely called her sister and left the house knowing that her sister was fine.When she got out, it was already rush hour, so there was traffic congestion which eventually got heavier as she was halfway into her journey.Many who were rushing for work were feeling utterly anxious till they almost went berserk.Elisa Stone was one of them.While her brother and sister-in-law were behaving lovey-dovey during breakfast, Elisa quietly slipped out of the house and secretly packe
