Mrs. Brown said, “I’m a little worried about how much Hank listens to Jessica. That girl knows how to play hard-to-get and still hasn’t given herself to Hank. The more Hank waits, the more he wants her. She’s making Hank go head over heels for her.
“If they get married and Hank lets her take charge of his bank account, our life will be tougher.”
Chelsea thought about the monthly allowance her brother gave her parents and how it was used on her own family. She benefited a lot from that and did not want this benefit to be taken away by her new and soon-to-be sister-in-law. Thus, she said, “Forget it, then. That’s Hank and Liberty’s business. Let them deal with it.”
“As long as Hank can keep his affair hidden from Liberty, I won’t interfere with it. Men aren’t reliable. They’ll fool around if they are rich and capable.”
Mrs. Brown felt that her son was capable enough to attract a young and beautiful girl even when he was a father.
Anyway, her son would not be at a loss no matter what.
Liberty knew that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law would speak ill of her, but she did not know that they would help Hank to keep his extramarital affair a secret.
After sending off the annoying mother and daughter, Liberty said, “Seren, Jasmine, why have you bought a bunch of things?”
“Liberty, it’s just some fruits and snacks, nothing too expensive.”
Jasmine smiled. “I thought that since you’re home alone with Sonny, you can eat as much as you like. If you can’t finish it, just put it in the refrigerator and take your time eating it. At least that way, it won’t be taken away by unwanted guests.”
She noticed how Chelsea took a glance at these things before leaving.
