Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel

The family gathered together and enjoyed the watermelon in front of the TV. Soon, the Browns retired to their roomsfor the night.

The Browns were sticking around for a few days.

Now that Serenity had moved out, there was an extra room for the whole Brown family to stay.

However, without Serenity helping around the house while Liberty took care of the child, groceries, and cooking, the house did not seem as clean as before.

Before retreating to bed, Chelsea discreetly pulled Hank to a corner and said, “Serenity and her husband brought a lot of stuff tonight.

Liberty was so angry she carried the bags into her room just now.

I took a look inside the bags.

There was some good stuff.

“I saw cigarettes and alcohol.

Give some to your brother in-law.

Liberty doesn’t smoke or drink.

You also don’t need the stuff anyway.

Your brother – in-law can’t bring himself to get the good cigarette brands.

Ah, Dad hasn’t tried that alcohol.

Give the spirit to Dad.” Hank burst into laughter.

“Just take what you like, Chelsea.

Give your baby a bath and get to bed.

I’m not working late tomorrow so I will take all of you on a drive.” “Alright.” Beaming, Chelsea happily went to her room.

Sonny was asleep by the time Hank entered his bedroom.

As she was getting out of the shower, Liberty gave Hank the cold shoulder and saton her side of the bed to turn in for the night.

“There’s something I need to discuss with you, Liberty.” Drawing comparisons to Jessica’s waistline, Hank stared at Liberty’s fleshy figure in disgust.

Hank drew close and took a seat by the bed.

He caressed his son’s face with tender eyes.

Regardless of everything, Hank loved his son.

“What do you want?” Liberty’s tone was flat.

“My sister wants to send her eldest two to a school here.

They’ll be living at our place.

You’ll help with the cooking, pickups, and drop-offs.

You have to cook every day anyway, so what are a few extra mouths to feed? “I’ll add a thousand dollars to your monthly allowance.

The kids won’t take up much of the expenses, so a thousand bucks is more than enough.

“We’re in the catchment area for Wiltspoon Wood High.

We can either take guardianship of Chelsea’s kids or transfer the title deed to my sister’s name.

Once the kids have graduated, the house comes back to my name.

“It’s my sister we’re talking about.

We can trust her.

There’s no concern about her refusing to give back the house.” Liberty had kept her resentment bottled up inside the whole night.

She was ready to put the matter behind her and saved herself from another fight with herhusband, but Hank’s words brought out the worst in her.

Liberty snapped back, “Hank, I take care of our child all day, but you only see me as some useless person who only eats and spends money unnecessarily.

I can take it because I want to give my son the best I can.

“But your sister’s kids have nothing to do with me.They’re not my responsibility.There’s no way I’m going to care for her kids! I can’t believe you want guardianship of her children.The burden of providing for them and their education would fall on us.

“The title deed doesn’t have my name, so it’s your business if you want to transfer the ownership toyour sister.

It’s also your problem if you can’t get the house back.

One thing though, you should return the renovation cost to me before you put her name on the deed.

“I won’t be able to get my money back when the house becomes hers.”

A shadow of gloom loomed over Hank.

“I said I’ll be giving you extra allowance.Isn’t that enough? You’re at home with a child anyway, so I don’t see the big deal of adding another two.Kids over ten years old are hardly a handful.You can just tutor them on their homework.

“If you think a thousand bucks isn’t enough, I’ll put in another five hundred.

You should be happy with a thousand and five hundred.

“So what if the burden of the kids’ wellbeing and education falls on us? They’re my sister’s kids.It’s the least we can do.I trust my sister.

She will return the house to me.

What do you mean by the renovation cost? I bought the house with my money.

Shouldn’t you contribute to the renovations since you’re living here too?

“The audacity of yours to ask me to repay you for the renovation cost.Dream on!”

Liberty glared at her husband.

Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach.

The couple was in a long-term relationship before tying the knot.

Hank was the perfect boyfriend and husband up until two years into the marriage.

Now, Hank had only been doing things that broke her heart.

Hank only took his parents and sister’s side.

It was not just Liberty, but their son, Sonny, also took a back seat in Hank’s life.

Hank catered to Chelsea’s every request.

The issue of catchment areas had been a national dilemma that had caused many siblings to fall out.

“Hank, I’m sticking to my guns on this.It’s not a question of money.It’s not my responsibility either.I’m not taking care of your sister’s kids for her, nor will I tutor them.If you’re going down that route, you might as well pay me the wages of a tutor.

“I’ll charge five thousand bucks for each kid every month.That’s ten thousand dollars for both of them.Heck, I’ll cook, do the pickups and drop-offs, and tutor for that price.Take it or leave it.That’s a discount since she’s your sister.

“I’m very qualified to be a tutor, so I’m worth the price.”

Since it was all about the money, Liberty would play him at his own game!

“I won’t agree to transfer the house to your sister’s name until you repay me for the renovation cost.

We can divorce if you go ahead anyway.

I’m still going to insist on getting the renovation money back as the divorce settlement.”

Her name was never on the title deed because Hank bought the property beforemarriage.

The Browns did not want to give her a cut of the house.

After finding out that Liberty and Hank were going steady, the Browns quickly bought a house for Hank.

Liberty was not entitled to the prenuptial property that did not have her name on it.

Hank turned black in the face.

“Five thousand bucks for each child? Why don’t you just rob a bank? A divorce? Do you think you’re only eighteen? You’rea married woman with a child and without a job.You’re fat and ugly.Just a look at you makes people sick to their stomachs.

How are you going to feed yourself after the divorce?

“Alright now.I need to think about this.Ten thousand is out of the question.The best I can do is three thousand bucks.”

“No deal!”

Liberty bluntly rejected before turning over, refusing to continue discussing the subject with Hank.
