Fortunately, Liberty could still rely on her sister to support her, so she did not have to worry about her expenses.
Jasmine was stunned and said, “Most parents like to subsidize their sons. Why do Hank’s parents want their son to subsidize their daughter? It could be justified if their daughter was struggling to make a living, but she’s not poor. She has a house, a car, and savings.”
Serenity was familiar with the characters of her brother – in–law’s family members. She took her nephew from Jasmine’s arms while saying to her sister, “Liberty, you can start looking for a job now.
You can leave Sonny to me. I’ll take care of him during the day.” “It’s so that if you decide to get a divorce in the future, you can confidently fight for Sonny’s custody. If you don’t have a source of income, how will you fight for him?”
Jasmine was taken aback. However, when she thought about Hank’s money–hungry family, she had a feeling that Liberty would get divorced sooner or later.
No one could put up with such a husband and in–laws for a lifetime.
Liberty looked at her son and said, “I’ll put up with them for another couple of months. It’ll be the New Year soon, then Sonny can start kindergarten. You can just help with fetching him from there in the afternoon.”
She must look for a job soon.
Even if Liberty could not land an executive role as she did before her marriage, she would still be able to get a decent job with her capability.
Serenity hummed in response.
She kissed her nephew and asked him, “Do you want to go to the kindergarten?”
“No.” The little guy liked to cling to his mother at this age.
Serenity smiled and said to her sister, “Have you thought about which kindergarten to send Sonny to? If you have, we can take Sonny there to play on weekends so he can get acquainted with the environment. Once he’s familiar with the place, he won’t be resistant to attending kindergarten.”
Many kindergartens allowed parents to bring their children to visit and play there during weekends.
Liberty agreed and said, “There’s one more thing that exasperates me. Hank’s sister told him that she wants to transfer her two older children to the city for school, so her kids will live with us. She asked me to help with pick ups, drop–offs, cooking, and tutoring. Does she think I’m a babysitter for free?
“Hank even said that he was willing to give me an extra fifteen hundred dollars for food. He said since I was already raising one child, it’d make no difference to raise another two. I’m willing to raise my child because I gave
birth to him, so no matter how tough it is and how tired I am, I won’t mind it. But why should I take care of someone else’s kids?
“He also said that he would transfer our house’s title deed to his sister. That way, it’d be easier for his sister’s children to go to school in the vicinity. I think he has brain damage. How would he get his house back once it’s been transferred?!”
Serenity and Jasmine were speechless when they heard this.
There were such cases online, but they could not imagine that it would happen to Liberty.
Liberty confided in them and did not hold back. She took two more sips of water and continued, “Seren, I told Hank that if he wants to transfer the house to his sister, he’ll have to pay for the renovation costs. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get anything out of this.
“Back then, I forked out four hundred thousand dollars to renovate that house.”
All her savings from working for so many years were spent on running her small family. “If he doesn’t pay me the renovation costs, I’ll get a divorce. That way, I’ll get my renovation fees back. Seren, will you help to keep a lookout for a suitable place for me to rent? If Hank keeps this up, our marriage will soon come to an end.”
Liberty had noticed and felt her husband’s indifference and avoidance.
She had never felt so heartbroken to the point she wanted a divorce. The two issues recently along with her husband’s and in–laws’ attitudes made Liberty feel disheartened.
Liberty began to think about what life would be like after the divorce so she could make arrangements and be prepared for it.
Hank bought the house before marriage, so Liberty would not get a cut from it. However, she must get back the renovation costs that she paid for. “I’m deeply disappointed in his attitude over the troubles we’ve encountered lately,” Liberty said with her reddened eyes.
It took so much effort for the Hunt sisters to survive through all that, but Liberty made a mistake in marrying such a man. It was partly her fault for being blinded and tricked by Hank. She thought she married a good man, but who would have thought she married such a scumbag?
Liberty said, “But not all men are like Hank. Jasmine, don’t shy away from marriage just because of my failed marriage. If you do, I’ll feel guilty forever.”
She remembered that Serenity’s best friend was still single and was being pushed into marriage by her family.
Jasmine smiled and said, “I know that there are scums everywhere. I just want to find someone I like whom I can entrust my life with when I get married. I won’t be influenced by you, Liberty. But I’ll be careful about the characters of my other half’s family before I marry someone in the future.”
Jasmine’s mother often said that marriage was not just about marrying a man, but marrying into that man’s family and integrating into his circle of relatives and friends. There was a lot to consider.
Jasmine glanced at her best friend and admired Serenity.
Liberty clearly had a failed marriage.
However, she could not be impulsive in getting a divorce because of Sonny. Liberty had to ensure she could make a living by herself and improve her standing to Hank’s level before she could get a divorce.
Serenity and Zachary got married at first sight, so neither of them knew each other before marriage. Such a marriage required a lot of courage.
Jasmine knew she would not have the courage to marry a stranger at first sight.
