Chapter 249
“Liberty is fat and ugly. She’ll only embarrass me if I take her there. Everyone will laugh at me.”
After Hank finished speaking, he pinched Jessica’s pretty face and praised her, “How can she compare to you, Jessica? You’re the apple of my eye now, and I don’t have any feelings for her anymore.
“I can’t forgive her for chasing me down the block with a kitchen knife. Although she apologized and treated me better than before, I just couldn’t forgive her. If I didn’t run fast enough that day, she would’ve stabbed me to death!
“She’s vicious. I’ve known her for so many years and only realized how vicious she was that day. If it wasn’t for Sonny, I wouldn’t want to go back to that house. Besides, my mother and my sister mentioned that I bought the house before marriage where I paid the down payment and am paying the mortgage, so why should I let her live there?
“She doesn’t have a good relationship with my family. Jessica, you’ve met my parents and sister. What do you think of them?”
Jessica thought about it and said, “They’re decent. Your parents, sister, and brother–in -law are all easy to get along with and are polite.”
She was extra attentive to Hank in front of the Browns and took good care of him. The Browns were not blind, so how could they not figure out her relationship with Hank?
Although the Browns were not enthusiastic toward her, they were not hostile to her either because she was Hank’s lover. They were still well–mannered.
Later, when Mrs. Brown saw that Jessica was overly kind to Hank, Mrs. Brown’s attitude toward her improved greatly. Chelsea even took Jessica to go shopping and bought her some new clothes, which
were expensive.
“My family is so nice. They usually treat Liberty well, but Liberty doesn’t get along with my family. She speaks ill of my parents and sister. In short, she thinks everyone in my family is horrible and that she’s the best person in the world.”
If Liberty heard this, she would be livid.
The Browns were great at pretending. Liberty had been in the workplace for a few years. and was not someone stupid, but she was deceived by Hank and his family. Before marriage, Hank’s family treated her nicely and well into the first year of their marriage.
Liberty thought she married the right person.
After Sonny was born, the Browns probably thought that having a child would make Hank and Liberty’s marriage stable, so they began to reveal their true colors.
“Your family is so nice. Is Liberty still not satisfied? She’s asking for too much.”
Jessica wanted to be better than Liberty and beat her in everything.
“Maybe it’s because of her sister. After Liberty and I got married, her sister lived with us. Although my sister–in–law chipped in some living expenses, she only gave 2,000 dollars a month. What’s the use of that? Everything now is so expensive!
“I got impatient since she had been living with us for a long time. My sister–in–law was sensible and moved out on her own accord, but Liberty kept throwing tantrums. I told you the reason I quarreled with her. She was mad at me thinking that I kicked her sister out, so she didn’t cook for me.
“She didn’t do my laundry and only did half of everything in the house, and had met complete the other half. I’m so busy at work and I have to put up with her when I get home. That’s why I quarreled with her
and hit her in a fit of anger. Who would’ve known she was such a lunatic? She held a kitchen knife and chased me down the block. If I didn’t run as fast as I could, you’d probably have to talk to me at my grave.”
After hearing this, Jessica was heartbroken and said, “Darling, you’ve had it tough. Let’s not talk about her anymore to not spoil your good mood. What time is the reception this evening? I don’t have a gown…”
“It starts at half past seven. It’s okay. I’ll take you out now to buy two sets of outfits. We may have to attend such events more often in the future, so you should buy two of them.”
Hank was stingy with Liberty. He recuperated at his parent’s house after being beaten. by Liberty and asked her to refund his share of the living expenses to him. However, he was of utmost generosity to Jessica.
