Chapter 834


    Jessica was aware that Hank attended a social function, so he must have drunk a lot of alcohol. She


    called to remind him to drive carefully on the road, but she did not remind him not to drive after he had


    alcohol.


    Hank grew upset whenparing Jessica with Liberty.


    All he could do was delude himself. ‘Jessica is still young, so she doesn’t know how to be concerned


    about others. She’ll gradually get better at this.‘


    Hank fixed his eyes on Liberty’s rented apartment for a long time before he drove away. He even


    deliberately went to a florist’s shop to buy a bouquet of flowers and brought it home.


    He returned to his rented apartment and opened the door, only to see his mother seated on the couch


    with a furious look. His father and Jessica were nowhere to be seen in the living room.


    Chelsea’s family had returned to their hometown after the kids‘ school reopened.


    However, both Chelsea and his brother–inw lost their jobs. They requested Hank to look for jobs for


    them.


    At this point, Hank could not even fend for himself, much less help them find jobs. His sister would


    grumble that he had be unlucky ever since he got together with Jessica. She imed that Jessica


    was a troublemaker; whoever was with her would be unlucky.


    Chelsea then began to speak well of Liberty. Although Liberty was plump and ugly, she was able to


    bring good luck to her husband. Ever since she married Hank, his career thrived, and he had been


    doing well. This exined why he could umte so much wealth.


    When Chelsea wasining to him, her voice was loud. She was not at all worried that Jessica


    could overhear it. Of course, Jessica was exasperated. After having a row with Hank’s sister, Jessica


    kicked his sister’s family out.


    If Chelsea insisted on staying, Jessica would want her to pay for rent and food. Jessica wanted


    Chelsea’s family to go Dutch, which angered thetter.


    Hank recalled the night when Chelsea and Jessica had a bitter row. He tried his level best to coax his


    sister and gave her a sum of money. Only then did she bring her husband and children back to her


    hometown. Also, the kids needed to go to school.


    He had to coax Jessica and continued to discuss the issue of family support.


    The Yateses refused to reduce the amount they were asking for living expenses. They imed that if


    they did not receive the amount requested, they would not allow Hank and Jessica to get married.


    As Jessica loved Hank, she secretly married him today.

    At this thought, Hank’s expression became much gentler. After all, Jessica loved him and was not


    eyeing his money. Despite not having received living expenses for her family, she was willing to marry


    him.


    “Mom.”


    Hank walked up to his mother with the bouquet of flowers he bought in his arms.


    “Why are you angry? Where’s Jessica?”


    When Olivia saw her son returning with a bouquet of flowers in his arms, she knew it was for Jessica


    even without asking him. Her face darkened. She stood up abruptly and snatched the bouquet. She


    then threw it onto the floor and lifted her leg to stomp on it.


    “Mom, Mom, I paid for the flowers.”


    Hank promptly tried to save the flowers, but it was toote.


    The flowers withered after his mother stomped on them.


    “Hank, you take pity on the flowers instead of me, huh? I haven’t even eaten. After your wife came


    back, she has been ying with her phone in the room. I’ve asked her a few times to cook, but she’s


    still inside. Is she nning to starve me?”


    Hank nced at the time and said with a frown, “Mom, don’t you know how to cook? When you were in


    Chelsea’s house, you helped her family to prepare their meals every day. You’re not that old. You’re


    only in your fifties now. Those people in our hometown are still farming despite being in theirte fifties.


    “Jessica has eaten in the office beforeing home.”


    His words made Olivia…


    It felt that her son had forgotten about her once he married his wife.


    Anyhow, Liberty was better. When Liberty was Olivia’s daughter–inw, she would buy many dishes


    that Olivia loved every time she came over. Liberty would cook, and Olivia did not need to do anything.


    After Liberty was done preparing the dishes, she would ask Olivia to eat. When Olivia was in a bad


    mood, she would be picky about the dishes and harp on how awful Liberty’s cooking was.


    Now, Jessica would eat in the office before returning home. Did she not know that she should cook for


    her mother–inw?
