Chapter 114
Serenity hummed in response.
She kissed her nephew and asked him, “Do you want to go to the kindergarten?”
“No.” The little guy liked to cling to his mother at this age.
Serenity smiled and said to her sister, “Have you thought about which kindergarten to send Sonny to? If you have, we can take Sonny there to play on weekends so he can get acquainted with the environment. Once he‘s familiar with the place, he won‘t be resistant to attending kindergarten.”
Many kindergartens allowed parents to bring their children to visit and play there during weekends.
Liberty agreed and said, “There‘s one more thing that exasperates me. Hank‘s sister told him that she wants to transfer her two older children to the city for school, so her kids will live with us. She asked me to help with pick ups, drop–offs, cooking, and tutoring. Does she think I‘m a babysitter for free?
“Hank even said that he was willing to give me an extra fifteen hundred dollars for food. He said since I was already raising one child, it‘d make no difference to raise another two. I‘m willing to raise my child because I gave
birth to him, so no matter how tough it is and how tired I am, I won‘t mind it. But why should I take care of someone else‘s kids?
“He also said that he would transfer our house‘s title deed to his sister. That way, it‘d be easier for his sister‘s children to go to school in the vicinity. I think he has brain damage. How would he get his house back once it‘s been transferred?!”
Serenity and Jasmine were speechless when they heard this.
There were such cases online, but they could not imagine that it would happen to Liberty.
Liberty confided in them and did not hold back. She took two more sips of water and continued, “Seren, I told Hank that if he wants to transfer the house to his sister, he‘ll have to pay for the renovation costs. Otherwise, I won‘t be able to get anything out of this.
“Back then, I forked out four hundred thousand dollars to renovate that house.”

All her savings from working for so many years were spent on running her small family. “If he doesn‘t pay me the renovation costs, I‘ll get a divorce. That way, I‘ll get my renovation fees back. Seren, will you help to keep a lookout for a suitable place for me to rent? If Hank keeps this up, our marriage will soon come to an end.”
Liberty had noticed and felt her husband‘s indifference and avoidance.
She had never felt so heartbroken to the point she wanted a divorce. The two issues recently along with her husband‘s and in–laws‘ attitudes made Liberty feel disheartened.
Liberty began to think about what life would be like after the divorce so she could make arrangements and be prepared for it.
Hank bought the house before marriage, so Liberty would not get a cut from it. However, she must get back the renovation costs that she paid for. “I‘m deeply disappointed in his attitude over the troubles we‘ve encountered lately,” Liberty said with her reddened eyes.
It took so much effort for the Hunt sisters to survive through all that, but Liberty made a mistake in marrying such a man. It was partly her fault for being blinded and tricked by Hank. She thought she married a good man, but who would have thought she married such a scumbag?
