Chapter 1626
Married at First Sight
âSeren, sure enough, weâre sisters. I refuted Mrs. Lewis this way too. Why should I leave? Why should I make such a sacrifice?â
âI think running away from the problem wonât solve it. Liberty, donât move out of that street now. Your shop has been operating there for quite a while, and you finally have some regular customers. If you relocate, youâll need to start everything from scratch.
âAs long as you stick to your decision and donât be convinced by Mr. Lewis, he canât do anything to you no matter how hard he tries. If you fulfill Mrs. Lewisâs request and leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, Mr.
Lewis might never be able to get over you. He might spend his remaining life searching for you and Sonny.
âBy then, despite having gone after you for a long time, he still hasnât won your heart. With his motherâs disapproval and persuasion over time, heâll give up and leave you alone.â
Liberty thought so too.
She would not be able to solve the problem by leaving.
Serenityâs thinking was the same as Libertyâs. Therefore, Liberty would not relocate, much less leave Wiltspoon.
She would definitely be able to stick to her decision.
After pouring her heart out to Serenity and listening to her advice, Liberty did not take her conversation with Mrs. Lewis to heart.
She would just leave Mrs. Lewis to suffer.
Anyway, she had promised Mrs. Lewis that she would not marry into her family as long as Mrs. Lewis disapproved of it. Even if Mrs. Lewis approved of it, she might not want to do it.
âIâll go home first. I need to work tomorrow.â
Liberty stood up and bade Serenity goodbye.
âLiberty, itâs quite late. You can stay here tonight.â
âIâm familiar with this route. No matter how late it is, Iâm bold enough to drive home alone. As I need to get up in the wee hours, Iâm afraid Iâll disturb Zachary and you. Zachary is always busy with work. If he doesnât get a good rest, how is he going to work the next day?â
Liberty turned her sister down.
She insisted that she would not stay overnight at Serenityâs place.
Helpless, Serenity had no choice but to see her sister off.
âLiberty, have you thought of which preschool to send Sonny to?â Serenity asked about her nephewâs education.
Liberty answered, âI want to send Sonny to Golden Grounds Preschool. That preschool happens to be situated somewhere between my house and my diner. Itâs convenient for me to send him there and pick him up.â
The preschool was just a short distance from her house and breakfast shop.
âI think Wiltspoon Learning Center is better. Zachary said thatâs the best preschool in Wiltspoon.â
Wiltspoon Learning Centerâs fees were huge.
However, the fees were not an issue for them.
Liberty said with a smile, âAny Wiltspoonians would know that WLC is the best preschool, but it has the highest fees. The annual fees cost about two hundred thousand dollars, which isnât what an average family can afford.
âBesides, itâs widely known that itâs difficult to get into WLC. One might not be able to be enrolled even if they are rich enough to pay the fees.â
Who would not want their children to get a head start in life?
The problem was, even wealthy people would not necessarily be guaranteed a place in Wiltspoon Learning Center.
âI have savings, and my business is currently making a profit. Itâs still possible to support Sonnyâs preschool education. But can we enroll him in WLC?â
Libertyâs savings were enough to support Sonnyâs three years of preschool.
âIâve researched Golden Grounds. The preschool is considered good in that area. The environment is nice, and the teachers are responsible. Of course, it canât compare with WLC. Coming from an average background, we can just send our kids to Golden Grounds.â
Serenity said, âZachary has asked me about it before. If you plan to enroll Sonny in WLC, he can help with it. You donât have to worry about the fees. You have Zachary and me.â
âI have enough money. I donât need both of you to pay Sonnyâs fees.â Liberty declined Serenityâs offer.
After some thought, she said, âIf Zachary can help Sonny get into WLC to start preschool, I donât mind him helping me with it. Tell me how much it costs. I can pay the fees.
âSonny is my son. As his mom, I should pay the fees.â
Regarding her sonâs education, Liberty was not so firm to the extent of stopping her husbandâin- law from helping.
Similar to other parents, she hoped that her son could learn in the best school.
