Chapter 439
s, Zachary only thought about it and did not act on it. His pride stopped him from doing something
that sneaky.
Thus, he tossed and turned, and finally got taken away by the sandman.
Meanwhile, in an apartment, Hank was fumbling around the bedside table for a pack of cigarettes. He
then pulled out a stick, and was just about to light it up when the woman next to him reached over.
“Give me one too.”
Hank handed the cigarette to Jessica and helped her light it.
“Just smoke once in a while.”
Hank was not a heavy smoker and only smoked when he talked business with clients. Usually, he did
not smoke unless he had something on his mind.
Liberty did not like men who smoked all the time because she felt their breath stink.
Jessica smoked, but she pretended to be virtuous and never smoked in front of Hank. However, Hank
and her had gone all the way, and he was also preparing to divorce Liberty for her sake.
Thus, Jessica did not think it was necessary to hide it anymore. Hank would find out in the future
anyway.
After smoking half a cigarette, she leaned on him and asked softly, “Something on your mind?”
“It’s nothing.”
Jessicaughed and traced her fingers over his chest. “Can’t bear to divorce that fat woman in your
house?”
“Of course not. I was wondering how I should write the divorce agreement. I told my parents I would
give Liberty two hundred thousand, but they both felt that that was too much. When my sister found
out, she also scolded me and said I was too generous to the poor. She said Liberty didn’t earn a penny
after marriage, so there was no need to give her so much
money.
“I’m just wondering. We’re still husband and wife, and I was the one who let her down first. We should
part without hard feelings, so I’ll give her two hundred thousand lest she makes a fuss. If the story
between us breaks out, our reputation will be ruined.”
Jessica put out her cigarette and said, “Your parents and your sister are your family. They’re the ones
who want the best for you. You should consider their suggestions more.”
The next moment, she said coquettishly, “We’ve already gone this far, Hank. Shall I rent out my
apartment and move into your house?”
Hank kissed her and said catingly, “Not yet. We’ll live together when I finish the divorce procedure
with Liberty.”
He also promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t give the house to Liberty. I’ll keep the house and the car and
just deposit some savings to her superficially. Jessica, I’ll make sure our future life is worry–free. I’ll
marry you in an honorable manner.”
Jessica was relieved. “My parents are always asking when we’ll get married. They say you’re too good,
and others will snatch
you away.”
She did not dare let her parents know that she was actually interfering in someone else’s marriage.
She lied to them that Hank was still unmarried.
Hank was only thirty and had a sessful career, so her parents believed her when she said he was
single. They bragged about how she had found a capable boyfriend in front of their friends and
rtives.
“We’ll get a marriage license immediately after I get divorced, and then we’ll hold a grand wedding.”
Jessica kissed his face and said softly, “I’ll wait for you.”

The two billed and cooed for a while, then Hank rolled out of bed to draft the divorce agreement.
After writing it, he gave it to Jessica to read.
Hank only thought of himself, so the divorce agreement was quite satisfactory to Jessica. The only
thing she was unhappy about was that he wanted to keep Sonny.
In her heart, Jessica hoped that Hank would give up custody of Sonny and let Liberty take him away.
That way, she would not have to see that eyesore.
Who wanted to take in and raise a child that was not their own?
She was still young, and Hank was not too old either. They would have their own children after
marriage. When they did, Sonny would be even more of an eyesore.
