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?

    “We’re eating together as a family. It’s enough to just throw together a few simple dishes. It’s not like I’m picky.”Sonny looked at Jessica, who felt a little awkward, then said, “Sorry to trouble you again, Jess.”“Oh, it’s no trouble at all, no trouble. I have to buy fresh ingredients to cook every day anyway, and it’s just a couple of extra dishes, so it’s no trouble at all,” Jessica hurriedly said.Ever since she had torn Chelsea a new one in Sonny’s defense, Sonny had become a little more amiable toward her.This child was a forthright one and very sensible. It was all because Liberty had taught him well.Sometimes, Jessica would think of the child she had lost. If she had successfully given birth and not lost the child while having to go to prison, the child would have been entrusted to Hank’s parents to care for. It was hard to say how they would have taught the child.Even Hank could not raise a child well.She sighed internally. She and her child simply were not writt

    Sonny laughed. “Yes, yes, I’m working for myself. Alright, I really have got to go now. Talk to you later.”Then, he hung up.He had arrived at Hank’s door.He walked up to it and rang the doorbell.Very soon, his grandmother opened the door.“You’re here, Sonny.”Olivia smiled happily when she saw that it was her precious grandson. She turned to say to Luke, who was sitting on the sofa inside, “Dear, Sonny’s here.”“Grandmom.”Sonny entered their home, then greeted his grandfather.Hank and Jessica came out of the kitchen where they had been preparing dinner.Usually, the family had simple meals, not because they could not afford more luxurious food, but because everyone was getting on in years now and they were afraid of getting high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Luke had blood pressure and uric acid on the higher side, so he had to be careful about his diet.Tonight, Sonny was joining them for dinner, so Jessica had specially bought more food, while Hank had not wo

    “Now that you’ve taken over the position of family head, you’re going to hold a banquet, right? Have you chosen the date already? I’m going to Clearfield tomorrow for work, and I might be there for about a week or so. If you’re still picking a date, choose a later one, so that I’ll be able to make it.“We definitely have to attend such an important occasion to support you.”Laurence had taken over the leadership of the Longbottom family and was officially assuming the position of the head of the family. He was definitely going to hold a banquet and invite all the who’s who of Havenmill.His friends and family definitely had to attend, too, not only to support the event but also to back him up and to tell the world he wasn't just an orphan—he actually had plenty of backers.Laurence said, “I’ve not picked a date yet. Don’t worry, it won’t clash with your schedule. You said you were coming back soon, though. Why do you still have to go on a week-long business trip? Are things very bu

    “That’s right, Noelle. You have us to back you up, so don’t worry about being looked down on by people. The most important thing is that you don’t look down on yourself.”Noelle was touched beyond words.With Jane’s and Lilian’s reassurances, she felt better.After all, it was not that she did not love Laurence. She just worried that her status was not a match for Laurence’s.“If Laurence tries to give you that necklace again as a symbol of the love between the two of you, just accept it. You deserve it and are certainly worthy of it as well.“As long as Laurence doesn’t look down on you, there’s no need to bother or care about whatever anyone else says. Don’t make things hard on yourself.”Noelle nodded.“Where’s Laurence?”Lilian only thought of her disciple after she managed to persuade Noelle.“He’s preparing dinner. I said I’d do it, but he wouldn’t let me. He said he hadn’t cooked in such a long time that he was about to forget how to cook, and that he had to practice mo

    Picking up where Jane left off, Lilian said, "Those people are just jealous that you have Laurence’s heart. You’re the subject of envy. They are just bitter that they can’t have what you have. “Live your own life. No one else matters.”“When Ben and I were dating, didn’t people gossip about us too? I didn’t care about what they said because they were just jealous.” Jane had not found her biological parents when she first married Ben. She had no idea that she came from a powerful family. Most people believed that Jane did not deserve Ben because he was the heir of the Johnsons, the leader of FC & Co. Meanwhile, Jane was just the owner of a tiny café. Though her adoptive parents were well off, their wealth was nothing compared to that of the Johnsons, the richest family in Annenburg. “Besides, you should trust Laurence to protect you. He won’t let anyone talk badly about you. He is a nice guy, but very few can handle his wrath when he’s upset.” Laurence was patient and broad-m

    “Mom, Master… Don’t you think I’m not good enough for Mr. Laurence?” Lilian gave Noelle a light rap on the head. Jane glared at Noelle. Noelle rubbed the sore spot and cried in pain, “Master.” It had been ages since Lilian did that to her. “I don’t want to hear that coming from you again. Don’t you dare think about it. I can’t stand to hear it. Who said you weren’t good enough? Spill the beans. I’m going to have a word with these people. How do you not deserve Laurence? You’re an outstanding woman, unlike any other.“Laurence was first to choose you, and he’s crazy about you. If not, I would’ve let Crybaby Ollie go after you instead. I adore you. You’re the ideal daughter-in-law to me.” Noelle stayed by Laurence’s side to keep him safe. Though she was also business-savvy enough to help Laurence at work, she did not have the chance to shine because Laurence and Sonny were great at what they did. The public would think Noelle was crude and only good at fighting. However, h

    After listening to a day of gossip about Mr. York’s marriage and wife-doting tendencies, Serenity applied a facial mask in front of the dressing table at night and said to Zachary, “All I hear is stories about your boss today.” With his game face on, Zachary asked, “Oh. What about?” “You don’t know?

    Serenity understood that it would take a while for Elisa to let go of her feelings for Mr. York. Elisa had not pestered Mr. York for a long time. She was probably here now because she wanted to secretly take a look at Mr. York.It must be painful for Elisa to fall in love with someone who did not lov

    Zachary said stubbornly, “No!”“Really?”“Really!”Serenity straightened her back and said with a regretful expression, “I was thinking that if you didn’t want me to leave, I could tell Mrs. Lane to stay at my sister’s house while I accompany you. Since you don’t need it, I’d better go keep my sister c
