“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 for free? She did it all for me.
“I was useless as an elder sister. I couldn’t protect her and let you look down on her and accuse her, forcing her to get married just to move out.
“Back when we got married, we agreed to let Seren move in, unless she got married… Of course, looking at it from another angle, I have you to thank for it. If it weren’t for your hostility and accusations against Seren, Seren wouldn’t have gotten married to Zachary.
“You could have some credit for Seren managing to marry into the York family.”
Hank Brown was struck speechless.
How aggravating.
“Liberty, let’s not rehash old scores.”
Hank smiled, embarrassed. “That’s all in the past now.”
“You started it first. If you want to spend more time with Sonny, take him out to play. There’s a small park nearby. You should take Sonny there to play. I have things to do and I don’t have the time to be bothered with you. If you stay here, you’ll just very much affect my mood and my work.”
If not for the fact that her son was present and the little guy was intimately cradled in Hank’s arms, clearly showing the deep bond between them, Liberty would have wanted to chase her ex-husband out with a broom.
She thought that after the divorce, it would be as if they were walking separate paths. Their relationship would end there and they would no longer contact each other.
Unexpectedly, after the divorce, her ex-husband’s family suddenly felt that she was amazing and kept looking for her intermittently, disturbing her life.
However, because of Sonny, she could not be too crude in return.
“Go to the park? Dad, I wanna go to the park.”
