Chapter 10

Author: 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 4723

    The girls sounded like they wanted River and Rosalie to break up. Rosalie’s family background was more than enough to make them jealous. Back when they were in the same class for three years, with a few of them even sharing a dorm with her, they did not notice any difference in her daily life compared to theirs. Nobody expected her to be a young lady of the Lafayettes.Despite being wealthy, Rosalie had worked hard. Her ex-classmates remembered that she was the most diligent student in the school. She was always ranked first in exams, and the school leaders and teachers prioritized her a lot. She did not disappoint in the college entrance examinations as well. She passed with flying colors and was accepted by a prestigious university. Putting aside Rosalie’s background, just her exam results alone were more than enough to make her a subject of envy. They could never catch up to her back then. Many students would go to tuition classes, but Rosalie never did. The only expl

    Unfortunately, they did not even have the right to dream about it. A man as outstanding as River would only fancy Rosalie, who was equally competent as he was. “Mr. York’s looks truly live up to the rumors. He’s one of a kind.”Rosalie’s ex-classmates complimented River. A few married ones had brought their husbands along. When they saw River pulling out the chair for Rosalie and letting her sit first, they suddenly felt their husbands were an embarrassment. Even the guys’ gazes were filled with envy. Although they were all men, it felt as if River was superior to them. Quite a number of men who became CEOs would gradually gain weight, but that was not the case for River. He maintained his body well and looked like a model. He looked way better in a suit than any other man present.His aura was impeccable, and his actions and speech gave off an air of nobility. Yes, they thought he was like a noble. River was definitely not an ordinary office worker. He probably came

    River and Rosalie chatted throughout their journey to La Grande Solville. The trip felt extremely short. After the car was parked, they got out of it. At first, Rosalie had brought the bouquet from River with her. However, she changed her mind after taking a few steps. She told River, “Let’s not show off. We should put the bouquet back.”She was scared they would break up sooner if they showed off their relationship too much. River followed her wishes. He unlocked the car again to let her put the bouquet back in the passenger seat. A few minutes later, they arrived at the private room that Lucinda spoke of. A waitress had just exited the room and immediately greeted them.Rosalie smiled to return the greeting. “Let’s head inside.”Rosalie opened the door to the private room. She said, “Sorry for being late and making you all wait.”River followed right after her.In the private room, Rosalie’s ex-classmates who had agreed to attend the gathering were all present. There w

    “To be honest, the car and house I bought in Solville were all paid for with the money I earned here. I didn’t touch my previous personal assets.”Levi was already worth hundreds of millions. Though River did not have shares initially, his income was still substantial. After acquiring shares, his net worth skyrocketed, making him a rising star in Solville’s business world.Buying a villa worth tens of millions or a luxury car was no big deal for him.He believed that money earned through one’s own abilities should be enjoyed freely and spent as one pleased. That way, it would be with a clear conscience, too.His nana had always taught them that business should be conducted honestly and money earned cleanly. That way, no matter how much they spent, they could do so without guilt or unease.All the boys kept this lesson close to their hearts.“I know. Even without your identity as a York, you could still afford to buy a house and a car. I was just deliberately mocking you back then

    Rosalie asked River, “I’ve been to Meadspring several times and even visited their home, but I’ve never met the head of the family. I only saw his wife. That Mrs. Lafayette is truly so beautiful, even as a woman, I couldn’t help but compliment her.”Suzy Lafayette was already in her thirties. If they rounded off the number, she could be considered forty, but she maintained herself so well that she looked like she was in her early twenties.River said, “I haven’t met them, but I know of them. My cousin and his wife are close friends with Ben Young-Johnson and his wife. Right now, they’re staying at our home, Wildridge Manor, with their children as guests.“Ben’s wife, Jane, and Laurent are twins. She and Ben’s marriage was a whirlwind, too, and their love story is a bit like my oldest cousin, Zachary, and his wife Serenity’s. Back when they were arguing because Zack hid his identity, he went to Ben for advice.“Our families also have business dealings. Ben’s younger brother, Remy, i

    Rosalie felt a sense of relief that River’s affection was directed at her.If he had liked someone else, she might have been consumed by envy.“You’re done?” River said with a smile. His voice was warm and pleasant.Rosalie smiled naturally and walked up to him. “Yes, I’m done. Sorry to keep you waiting.”“It’s no problem. I’m happy to wait however long it takes.”He handed her the bouquet he had bought. As she accepted it, he looked at her and said, “You look really beautiful like this. You look so at ease.”“I didn’t want to go home since it would take too much time back and forth, so I changed in the restroom. I keep over a dozen sets of clothes there for emergencies.“You changed, too?”Rosalie had a keen eye and noticed he had changed. She reached out and touched his chin. “You shaved too. Your beard always gets shaved off as soon as it starts growing.“River, what would you look like with a beard? Would it hide your handsomeness?”River also touched his chin and said, “
