Chapter 119


    “Hank, you want to go Dutch with my sister when she doesn‘t have a job. She‘s at home raising your


    kid, yet you have the nerve to go halves with her. What‘s the point of my sister having a husband then?


    “You always say that my sister doesn‘t do anything at home, so she fulfilled your wish and did nothing


    today. Oh, wait… My sister still did half of the work. At least, she bought the ingredients, measured the


    pasta, and prepared a pot of water for you. All you need to do is cook it yourself.”


    Hank opened his mouth and wanted to say something , but Serenity did not give him a chance to


    speak. She continued , “Hank, do you think that your house cleans itself every day? Sonny is still


    young, so when he ys with his toys, he likes to put them all over the floor and he can‘t pick up after


    himself.


    “You don‘t think that those toys put themselves away, do you? Also, who do you think takes care of


    your meals every day? Isn‘t my sister doing your dirtyundry too?


    “Didn‘t my sister make three meals a day for you?

    “You only resent my sister for not having a job and ie. If it wasn‘t for my sister taking such good


    care of the household, would you be able to concentrate at work?


    “This home is shared by the two of you. My sister is in charge of household matters while you‘re the


    breadwinner of the family. You can‘t say that my sister doesn‘t do anything for your family just because


    she doesn‘t have a job. In fact, my sister has it harder than you at work. Why don‘t you and my sister


    switch roles? You can doundry, cook, take care of the baby, and clean up the house while my sister


    goes to work.”


    Liberty‘s ie before marriage was not much lower than Hank‘s.


    Hank opened his mouth several times after being refuted by Serenity, but he was speechless. After a


    while, he said sheepishly , “Serenity, I only said one sentence, but you gave me such a long lecture as


    if I‘ve abused your sister. Aren‘t you busy at the store? If your business isn‘t good and you don‘t make


    much, just close your business and work for someone.


    “Isn‘t Zachary working in a bigpany ? You can ask him to pull some strings so you can join his


    company. It‘s better to get a few thousand dors a month than to sustain a business.”


    Serenity said coldly, “You don‘t have to worry about my finances. I make enough for my expenses and


    have some spare change.”


    “I–I‘m going to cook.”


    Hank knew that his sister–inw was angry and did not


    continue talking. He turned around and went back to the kitchen.


    Serenity took a few deep breaths. Liberty was not ready to get a divorce yet, so Serenity had to put up


    with Hank. Serenity would go all out on Hank if he daredin about her sister again when Liberty


    gets a job and prepares for the divorce.


    She entered Liberty‘s room and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, gently touching Sonny. She


    knew that Liberty was only putting up with this because of her child. Hearing the door opening, Liberty


    turned her head and saw that it was Serenity. She got up, walked towards Serenity, and said softly,


    “Serenity, your brother–inw won‘t listen to what you say. Don‘t worry about me. I‘ll protect myself


    until I give up on him. “Aren‘t you going to buy a gift for Zachary ? You should get going then. Don‘t


    worry about me. I‘m fine.”


    “Then I‘ll go shopping now. Call me if you need anything. Tell me if he dares hit you. I will never allow


    anyone to hit my sister!”


    Liberty nodded. She endured so much before because she loved Hank


    At this moment, Liberty only felt disappointment toward Hank. She was only getting by for the time


    being for Sonny‘s sake because she was not capable enough to gain custody. Hank would not be able


    to threaten her ii she got


    back on her feet.


    Serenity left under Liberty‘s urging.


    When Serenity left, Hank had just finished cooking a dish and brought it out from the kitchen. Seeing


    that Serenity was about to leave, he asked perfunctorily, “Serenity, have you eaten?”


    “Yeah.” Serenity casually responded and left.


    Hank did not cook all the dishes that Liberty prepared and only made one dish. He forked a piece of his


    vegetable , put it into his mouth, tasted it, and spat it out immediately.
