“Liberty, Hank has to go to work every day to earn for you and Sonny. Hisjob can be busy and tiring.As his wife, you should be taking care of him.How can you leave the house chores to him? .: “Hank only mentioned going halves so you don’toverspend the money.
Why should you fuss about every little thing with your husband? Hurry up and clear thetable.
Don’t make Hank angry.
It’s hard enough he has to bust his *ss out there, so show some understanding.” 1 Chelsea echoed hermom’s thoughts.
“Yeah.
As if you know what that feels like.
All you do is take care of Sonny at home while spending Hank’s money.
You have the cheek to order Hank around.” Liberty left the kitchen and approached the children’s toy motorbike to pick Sonny up.
With a blank face, she replied, “I don’t have a job or a source of income.
I can only rely on Hank because I’m a full-time mom.
Yet, he expects me to pay for my half?! So, what is this? “Fine.
I’ll pay my half, but he must do his share of house chores too.
We’ll go halves in everything.
Didn’t you say I have it easy at home and that I don’t do anything? Well, you get your wish.
I’m not going to do anything so Hank will know the house doesn’t clean itself.
His dirty clothes and socks don’t wash and fold themselves.” Liberty held her son and grabbed her brother – in-law’s giftsbefore making a beeline into the bedroom.
She slammed the door behind her.
“She’s gone mad!” Livid, Hank banged the fruit knife on the coffee table and rolled up his sleeves with the intention to get into the bedroomand show Liberty who was boss.
“Hank.” Mrs.
Brown pulled her son back.
“What are you trying to do? Sonny is inside.
Don’t scare Sonny.
Wait until Sonny’s asleep before you teach her a lesson.
Also, don’t beat her in visible places.
Serenity will go after you if she sees the bruises.
We got to watch our backs with her husband.” Hank was aware that Zachary worked in a major corporation ,but the sisters never gave the name of the company.
Despite Hank’s attempts to befriend Zachary, the latter had always kept his distance from him.
Hank was also a manager in his company, so Zachary’s attitude put him off from playing nice.
Following her mother’s words, Hank started to think Zachary looked down on him.
Flipping his top, he said, “ Whatever happens between me and my wife is none of their business! What? Is Serenity going to hit me? Well, theyshould be the ones watching their backs!” Chelsea added fuel to the fire.
“Hank, Mom’s right.
Don’t scare Sonny if you’re going to teach Liberty a lesson.
You’ve been nothing but nice to Liberty, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for her.
I can’t believe she expects you to handle the house chores.
I always give my husband a nice foot rub when he comes home from work.
“While men work toward their career and bring home the bacon, women should be running the household smoothly.
She’s not a good wife to make her husband do her work.” On the surface, itseemed like Chelsea was calming her brother down, but she was only aggravating the situation.
Chelsea hoped Hank would beat the living daylights out of Liberty right now.
Since his son was young and his mother refused to let him go, Hank had to quit the thoughtof showing his authority to his wife for now.
“She’ll get her punishment when Sonny goes to bed.
All she does is eat and sleep all day.
The pig had the nerve to give me an attitude! She expects me to do the dish?! Ha!” Hank picked upthe fruit knife and sliced the watermelon.
Mrs.Brown called her daughter to clean up the mess from dinner.
The mother and daughter returned to the sofa a while later and took a seat.
Chelsea took a slice of watermelon to eat and said to her brother, “Hank, your nieceand nephew are entering junior high.
I was thinking of getting them into one of the schools here.
Can they stay with you if I transfer them to an elementary school here for a year or two? It’ll be easier to enroll them to ajunior high here after that.”
Chelsea added, “Your place is not too far from the school. I believe it’s in the catchmentarea. “Liberty can take care of the two kids, cook, and clean for them.
The boarding expenses…” Hank interrupted her.
“Chelsea , they are my niece and nephew.
Forget the boarding expenses.
I’ll get the kids transferred to the school here.
Liberty will do the pickups and drop-offs.
It’s not like she has anything else to do anyway.” Seeing that Hank did not hesitate to say yes, Chelsea and herhusband were over the moon.
Mrs.Brown pointed something out to her son.
“Hank, you should discuss this with Liberty.
She’s part of the family too.” She then turned her attention to her daughter.
“I heard the kids don’t get an automatic placement for the junior highs here.
The parents must live or own a property in the catchment area to get into local schools.
Chelsea, it’s not like you’re living in the countryside .
It’s suburban.
The schools there aren’t too bad.
You and your brothers studied there and got to college just fine.” Mrs.
Brown believed the location did not matter so long as the children did their due diligence studying.
“Oh, this reminds me.
Hank, how about I named you the parent of the kids or you can transfer the title deed to my name? Once the kids graduate, l’ll revert the guardianship tome or the house ownership to you.” Mr.
Repton held his son as he helped himself to some watermelon.
He had no comment on the matter.
Hank was quick to sign off on it without a second thought.
Nevertheless, he said, “I’ll let Liberty know later.
I call the shots in this family, but Mom’s right.
She’s part of this family.
Besides, she has to send the kids to and from school, as well as cook for the kids.
I’ll need to get her opinion on this.
“I’ll call you once we reach a decision, Chelsea.
Don’t worry.
I want my niece and nephew to get into the best schools.” Ah, the love between siblings.
Hank had a lot of faith in his sister and was willing to help out as much as possible.
Besides, his niece and nephews were not outsiders; they were family.
Chelsea was tickled pink, to say the least.
Switching to a lighter tone, she persuaded Hank, “Don’t be mad at Liberty.
It’s normal for couples to have fights.
You’ve been together and in love since college.
For Sonny’s sake, just let it go.” She was afraid that instigating a fight between the couple would steer Liberty away from cookingand playing.
chauffeur for her kids.
That would foil Chelsea’s plan in sending her kids to her brother’s.
Chelsea got to lie low when asking for a favor.
Mr.Brown chimed in.
“Hank, your sister’s right.
Don’t go around talking about beating up your wife.
Sit down and talk things out.
Don’t take the violent route.
Look at me and your mom.
We’ve been married for years, but I’ve never laid a finger on your mom.” Hank grumbled, “It’s because my mom is the best.
Liberty can’t be compared to mom.
She’s getting worse by the day.
She’s not contributing anything to the family and thinks she’s doing me a favor because she’s caring for a child.
I only suggested going halves to save money because she’s spending money as if they grow on trees.
In one day, she can spend half of the three thousand bucks I give her for monthly expenses! “Mom and Chelsea proposed the ideato me.
If I don’t do that, Liberty won’t figure out a way to earn some money orunderstand the struggles.
It’s a challenge to provide for the family.
Yet, here she is, splitting the house chores with me.
Well, she’s got another thing coming.” “She spent over a thousand in a day!? That’s excessive.
You have a mortgage and child to think about.
She could’ve been a little more considerate since she’s relying on you without an income.
Going halves sounds like a good idea.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t do that to her.” Mr.
Brown took his son’s side immediately.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures.
She can take up a part time job while caring for the child.
But don’t keep talking about teaching her a lesson.
Marriage is forever.
It hasn’t been long since the wedding, and you’re already killing each other.
How are you going to survive a lifetime?” Hank pursed his lips and said, “Got it, Dad.”
