Hank slandered Duncan cynically.in his heart.
Not even he had the ability to work in Lewis and Co.
“Are you done with what you have to say? If you are, please get out. I need to rest since I have to get up early for work tomorrow.”
Liberty remembered Duncan saying that she must run five laps around the small garden in front of the office building every day before she could start work.
Ms. Chaplin would monitor her and make sure she finished the five laps.
If she slept poorly, she would not have the energy to work tomorrow. She was afraid she would lose her hard–earned job if she did not perform well on her first day.
Hank grunted heavily and walked away.
He spent money on a pearl necklace for nothing.
When he went out, he slammed the room door with a bang.
The noise startled his mother who was sleeping in the guest room.
Olivia came out wearing a coat and saw her son storming out of the master bedroom. She quickly approached him and asked with concern, “What‘s wrong, Hank? Did you have another fight with Liberty? Or did she not agree to help your sister pick up the children?”
Hank softened his expression in front of his mother and said, “Mom, Liberty said she found a job today and will be starting work tomorrow. She‘s letting Serenity take care of Sonny and can‘t help Chelsea with her kids‘ schooling transportation.”
“Your sister is giving her money, yet she‘s still unwilling? What do you mean she‘s going to work? Echoing your sister, it‘s time for you two to have a second child. Her
company won‘t want her when she‘s pregnant anyway. Why waste time now?”
Hank thought in his heart, ‘There‘s no way I‘ll have a second child with Liberty.
‘I don‘t even want to touch her now, and she won‘t let me touch her anyway.‘
Of course, he would not tell his mother that. He said, “She probably thinks Chelsea is giving her too little. I didn‘t even know she had found herself a job because she didn‘t tell me. If I hadn‘t discussed this with her, I guess she would‘ve continued keeping this as a secret.”
Hank himself had something to hide from Liberty, but he thought nothing of it.
However, when Liberty hid something from him, he became angry and upset.
Olivia thought about it and said, “I‘ll talk to her again tomorrow and see if I can talk her out of going to work, but you should give her a little more living expenses in the future. Also, stop going Dutch with her.
“I thought that going Dutch would benefit you, but now it seems like there‘s no advantage. Now, you have to do everything yourself when you come back. When your sister and I come over, we have to pay Liberty to cook for us too.
“You don‘t seem to be saving a lot of money either. It‘ll be much easier on you if you stop going Dutch with her. It‘ll be worth it even if it means having to give her an extra two thousand per month for living expenses.”
Hank was silent for a moment and said, “Even if we stop going Dutch, Liberty and I can‘t go back to how we were before. I… I really have no interest in her anymore. If not for Sonny and Chelsea, I wouldn‘t have lowered myself to speak to her so humbly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Olivia slapped him. She scolded him in a low voice, “You men are all the same. Once you get married, you won‘t be able to resist the temptation of other women. Do you really think that Yates girl truly loves you? She‘s only after your status.”
“If you were an ordinary employee earning three to five thousand a month, do you think she‘d take a liking to you? Yes, you‘re quite handsome. I‘m very satisfied with your
face, but can you make a living out of being attractive?
“Girls nowadays are clear–headed. If you have no money and no status, you‘ll forever be a bachelor no matter how handsome you are.
“You‘ll regret it if you really split with Liberty.”
Hank firmly believed that Jessica was his true love, so he did not listen to a word his mother said.
“It‘s late, Mom. You should rest. I‘ll talk to Liberty and convince her to help Chelsea pick up the children.”
If Liberty refused to help, his house would not have to be transferred to his sister.
Speaking of which, did Liberty refuse to help because she did not want him to transfer the house to Chelsea?
Well, she was aware that no one else in the family had time to help Chelsea pick up and drop off the children.
Hank wanted to go back to the room to question Liberty, but he was worried about quarreling with her again, so he dropped the idea.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, the sky was gray and drizzly.
The chill set in after a light rain. When Serenity walked out of the room and saw Zachary collecting the clothes on the balcony.
She went out to look and said, “It‘s not raining heavily, and there‘s no wind either. The clothes hanging here won‘t get wet.”
Zachary was collecting the clothes he washed last night which he had originally hung out on the small balcony in his room. However, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he realized the weather was windy, so he took the opportunity when Serenity was fast asleep to hang the clothes on the large balcony. Unexpectedly, it rained in the morning and the wind stopped blowing as well.
He touched the clothes and felt that they were still damp. It was not dry enough to wear.
The washing machine that Sam sent over had a drying function, but even that could not dry wet clothes enough to be worn. “Don‘t you have other clothes to wear?” Serenity asked casually when she saw him like this. “I have many clothes. Even if I don‘t wash them every day, I have enough clean clothes to last a month. I saw it was raining and was worried the clothes might be splattered by the rain, so I checked if they were. If you say that they won‘t get wet, I will stop collecting them.” Then, he hung the clothes back up to dry, and asked Serenity as if nothing had happened, “Do you want to make breakfast at home or go out to eat? How about I treat you to breakfast? Call your sister. If Ms. Sox is up this early, you can call her too.”
Serenity laughed and teased him, “Mr. York, did you dream of winning the lottery last night? How many millions did you win?”
