Liberty was downstairs waiting for her sister.
She carried her son while a diaper bag and a rucksack hung off each arm. Liberty looked around, failing to notice a new car driving by. More accurately, she was not on the lookout for a four-wheeled vehicle as her sister often rode an e-bike.
Serenity pulled up in front of her sister and rolled down the window. “Liberty.”
Taken aback at first, Liberty ensued with a smile. “I thought you were riding your bike today.”
She knew that her brother-in-law bought her sister a car, but Serenity rarely used it. This was the first time Serenity drove here with the new car.
Serenity got out of the car and grabbed the diaper bag from Liberty. She opened the door to the back seat and put the diaper bag in. She asked, “Is everything in there, Liberty? The formula is the most important thing.”
“It’s all there.”
Liberty handed her son over to her sister. With Serenity carrying Sonny, Liberty drew close to kiss her son on the cheek and urged him, “Be a good boy to your Aunt Ser, Sonny. Mommy will be back soon.”
Sonny was close to his aunt, so he did not make a fuss when he was handed to his aunt. Sonny even waved his mother goodbye.
Liberty felt a little sad.
Her son was only two. She had intended to enroll him in a kindergarten before rebuilding her career. Yet, reality forced her to look for a job ahead of her plans.
“Liberty, is my brother-in-law back yet?”
It had been days since the fight between the couple.
Liberty replied dejectedly, “No. He sent me a text message to return the money for living expenses since he had not been eating at home. He wants me to refund his portion of the money.”
She was cut to the quick by every little thing Hank did.
It gave Liberty nothing but agony.
