Chapter 320
Although Chelsea had a clear idea of what was going on, she did not do right by Liberty.
No matter how highly educated a woman was, she would be bound by marriage and a relationship once she walked down the aisle and had children.
Anyone would hate to be in the woman’s shoes.
“I have talked to Liberty about it, Chelsea. She refuses to help.”
It was not something Hank could promise to make happen.
Since the case of domestic violence, the husband and wife had not kissed and made up.
Since Hank had Jessica, the only thing on his mind was to keep his lover happy while the hag at home was not worth his time.
Liberty seemed to have grown a spine too. She used to back down but refused to do that now.
The couple’s marriage came to a standstill.
They lived together but slept in separate rooms.
They went on with their own lives. The couple did not talk to each other unless it was about the child.
“Why can’t she help out on this tiny matter? I’m not asking her to do it for free. I’m paying her a thousand dollars a month. She has no income, so a thousand bucks should be a lot to her.”
Chelsea would not fork out a dime if she had not aggravated the fight between her brother and his wife, bringing more tension into the relationship.
“I was willing to give her an extra thousand and five hundred dollars for living expenses, but she still refused to budge. The name transfer on the title deed is no issue. You’re my sister. We have the same mother. I trust you. I bought the house before marriage, and I’m still paying for the monthly
mortgage.
“Liberty took care of the renovation costs. She can’t do anything if I want to transfer the house to your name.”
Sure, Liberty said Hank should pay her back for the renovation before he could give the house to his sister. However, Hank already told her that it was not happening. She could forget him returning her a dime.
She was welcomed to remove the bricks in the wall
for all he cared.
Chelsea said, “What’s the point of you transferring the house to me if there’s no one to do school runs, cook, and tutor the kids?”
“How about you quit your job and look after the children at home? My brother–in–law has a high income. He can support you financially.”
Hank suggested it to his sister.
Rolling her eyes, Chelsea replied, “I work for a big corporation. It’ll be a waste to quit my job.”
Besides, Chelsea would turn into the next Liberty if she were to become a full–time housewife.
Chelsea was not that silly to quit her job and
become a homemaker.
She had been working in her company for many years and earned a good salary. Her parents would chip in with the household expenses too. Chelsea and her husband rarely spent much on household expenses. She was free to buy clothes and skincare products without worrying about money.
Her husband might be good to her at first if she
were to quit her job and stay at home without an income, but would it last?
Her brother was a prime example.
Hank was so good to Liberty and generous with his money when she first became a housewife.
What about now?
“Hank, have a talk with Liberty tonight. Be nice to her about it.”
She kept her voice down as she added, “I’m on your side, but frankly, you were at fault the last time. Plus, you’re going out with…”
