Chapter 10

Penulis: Gu Lingfei
Serenity went to Liberty’s place.

She opened the door and went inside the house to find her sister was already up. Liberty was busy in the kitchen.

“Liberty.”

“Seren, you’re here.”

Liberty came out of the kitchen and was happy to see her little sister. “Have you eaten? I’m making a pot of pasta. Do you want a plate?”

“I’m good. I had breakfast. Have you started cooking? You don’t have to if you haven’t because I brought you and Sonny breakfast.”

“Not yet. Sonny had a fever last night. I didn’t sleep much the whole night, so I got up late. Your brother-in-law had to get breakfast from the shop. He wasn’t happy about it. He accused me of doing nothing all day and I could’ve made him breakfast since all I did was look after a child.”

Liberty was hurt.

Serenity was furious for her sake. “Why did Sonny have a fever? You should take him to see a doctor later even if the fever’s gone in case it comes back. Seriously. I can’t believe Hank didn’t bother to help and even yelled at you when Sonny was sick.

“Is Hank still insisting on going Dutch after I moved out, Liberty?”

Liberty took a seat on the sofa and unwrapped the food. She dug in and said, “I’ll take Sonny later. He’s still insisting on splitting the expenses. He said that all I do is spend money rather than earn my keep. He mentioned that I have no idea the pressure he’s under. As part of the family, I should contribute to the household expenses.

“I bet his sister taught him that. My sister-in-law can’t stop poking her face into our affairs after we got married. Hank used to be good to me, and his sister ruined that.”

Prior to handing in her resignation letter, Liberty worked her way up to the financial chief position. She was paid handsomely. Liberty gave up a lot for love and marriage but received hate from her in-laws in return.

Liberty only spent her money on the home. The clothes she bought were with Serenity’s money. The shopping only came once in a while, and buying things like cosmetics were less frequent than new clothes.

However, her in-laws would kick up a fuss about Liberty’s spending whenever she bought new clothes and cosmetics. Even if Liberty explained that it was with Serenity’s money, her in-laws would argue the gifted money was a joint asset with her husband, so she had no right to use it for herself.

“Liberty, why don’t you send Sonny to a kindergarten? You can pick up your career again and earn as much as, if not more than your husband.”

Serenity felt sorry for her sister.

While Serenity was living under the same roof with her sister and family, Serenity would take on all the housework to help her sister out. Now that she had moved out, Liberty got more on her plate.

“Hank said to wait until Sonny is three or four before enrolling him in a kindergarten.” Liberty was interested to return to the workplace. If nothing else, the burden of a car loan, mortgage, and elderly care was weighing heavily on the family.”

Serenity frowned as she sensed that Hank was treating Liberty like cr*p, and it was only getting worse. Serenity had to ask, “Do you think my brother-in-law is seeing someone else?”

Startled, Liberty uttered, “I don’t think so. I know how much he’s making. He doesn’t have extra money to keep a mistress.”

“But he’s been increasingly rude to you. You must think about your future. Don’t be a misunderstood stay-at-home mom without an income.”

Liberty fell silent for a moment before stating, “We’ll see. Don’t worry about me, Seren. I’ll be okay. How are you doing? When is your husband coming back from his trip?”

“It’ll be a while. He can be busy since he’s working in a major corporation.”

Liberty inquired about Serenity’s life at the new home in detail. She was able to relax once she was sure her little sister was doing well.

Now that Serenity had spent some time with her nephew, Liberty urged her to get back to the shop.

While riding her e-bike to the bookshop, Serenity reflected on her sister’s life of endless bickering. Distracted, Serenity failed to pay attention to her surroundings and nearly rammed into a car. With her fight-or-flight instincts kicking in, Serenity swerved to the side and narrowly missed the car. At the same time, she hit the brakes.

The car also came to a screeching halt.

Serenity glanced at the car. It was a Roll Royce, a luxury sedan!

Behind the Rolls Royce was a row of identical vehicles. The people in those cars must be the bodyguards of the person in the luxury sedan.

Since Wiltspoon was a metropolis, luxury sedans were not a rare sight.

Serenity made a gesture of apology to the driver before starting her e-bike and slipping away.

There was no way she was going to wait to be yelled at.

The driver turned his head over to the man in black in the backseat. “Mr. Zachary, it’s the missus.”

Zachary’s face fell as he clearly witnessed Serenity almost knocking onto his car. She was obviously distracted. To have an absent mind while riding on a busy road, was she trying to get herself killed?

  • Married at First Sight   Chapter 4804

    Sheila’s grandparents had retired, but they were skilled doctors and had previously been professors at a medical university. Therefore, they were hired by a hospital again and were able to continue contributing to the medical industry. On the other hand, her parents did not work at a hospital in Wiltspoon, but at a larger hospital located elsewhere in Georgia. That was why they were rarely home. Sheila had an elder brother, who worked at a hospital outside of the province. Similarly, he rarely returned home.With her parents and brother absent, Marvin and Enid were her closest family members. Her third uncle and his wife were also busy. They did not even have time to care about their son’s studies. Fortunately, the children of the Jones family were clever. They all performed well academically. Terence also wanted to study medicine. He chose to study the sciences in high school in preparation for medical school. Moments later, Marvin and Enid came upstairs for dinner. Sheil

    Marvin pouted and added, “That boy abandoned Sheila just because he managed to become a civil servant and made connections with a wealthy family. Sheila was so hurt that she had not been in a relationship, even though three years had passed. It’s all that bastard’s fault.”“Sheila is outstanding. She can surely marry a good man in the future. That scumbag will regret his decision. However, Kent is not the right guy. I don’t think he’s a good man.”Enid was still dissatisfied with Kent. She was close to Sheila’s mother, and they needed to talk so that the latter would not be deceived by Kent’s appearance. “Kent is really not bad. He’s better than that scumbag.”“But Kent’s family is unacceptable. There’s a big social status gap between our family and the Levitts. If Sheila were to marry Kent, our entire family might be exploited by them.“Kent is just a man from the countryside who happened to become successful in the city.”Marvin was speechless. He sighed. “If our family we

    “It’s only eleven o’clock. It’s too early for lunch,” said Enid. Marvin looked toward his wife. After getting glared at, he dared not ask Kent to stay for lunch anymore.“Indeed, it’s still early. I usually have lunch after twelve. I’ll get going, then. The clinic can’t be closed all the time.”“Okay. Go back and manage your clinic well. Don’t forget why you started learning medicine.”Marvin was reminding Kent not to earn illegal money. Doctors were meant to help the injured and rescue lives, not make profits from illicit activities. Kent smiled. “I won’t, sir.”He walked to the corner of the counter and grabbed the bouquet of roses he had bought, then bid Marvin and Enid goodbye before leaving. After Kent drove away, Marvin continued seeing his patients. Once he was done, he got up to help Enid dispense medications.“You weren’t very friendly to Kent today.”Marvin added, “He finally found the courage to confess to Sheila and woo her. Isn’t that great?“I quite like this

    Marvin said, “Sheila just transferred to Wiltspoon General Hospital. She’s busy and probably doesn’t have time to consider marriage. “Anyway, you still have a chance because she’s single. I support you.”Enid remained silent. Kent had been trying to seek their attention for two years. The young man was okay, but Enid disapproved of his family. Kent was the only successful individual in his family. He had to support his parents, elder brother, and younger sister financially. Marvin was not as attentive as a woman. He simply thought Kent was a fine man. Despite not having a solid family background, Kent was able to establish himself in a big city. He bought a house and a car through his own efforts and even had some savings. With that, he had surpassed many other youngsters. Marvin liked Kent without considering his family background. Although he occasionally heard Kent mention that he had to help his brother and sister, he thought it was normal because he and his siblin

    He had fully paid for an apartment in a certain residential complex in Wiltspoon, bought a car worth over thirty thousand bucks in full, and had some savings in the bank. Considering he had started from nothing and worked his way up to having a home, a car, and savings, he had already done quite well.Marvin had quite an appreciation for Kent.It was just that his own niece was rather indifferent to Kent and only treated him as a school friend, so Marvin did not feel it was his place to say much.Sheila respected him very much, but he was, after all, just an uncle. Her parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law were still around, so it was not his place as an uncle to make decisions for his niece.“Sheila.”Encouraged by Marvin’s look, Kent walked over to stand opposite Sheila and handed her the bouquet of red roses.“Sheila, I like you.”Kent mustered his courage and spoke his feelings for Sheila out loud.Sheila did not accept the flowers. She apologetically said, “I’m sorry,

    “You can take that invitation back. I won’t be attending Ms. Marshall’s birthday banquet.”Kevin picked up the invitation and said, “In your condition, it really isn’t convenient for you to go. Then I’ll take it to Rowan and have him make an appearance. As long as the Marshalls know our family has a representative attending, it’ll be fine.”Alex nodded repeatedly.Rowan did not have a love interest yet, so it was most suitable for him to go.Though Rowan was a bit younger than Ms. Marshall, it was only by a year, so it was not a big deal if the woman was older.If Rowan knew what Alex and Kevin were thinking, he would protest that he was not interested in older women! His older brothers were too sneaky. They did not want to attend Ms. Marshall’s birthday banquet, so they pushed it onto him. They were basically bullying him for being the youngest!After the brothers chatted for a while longer, Kevin left.Meanwhile, at the Joneses' residence...The family lived in a five-story s
