Chapter 396
Married at First Sight
Chapter 396 After tonight, Liberty would no longer be sad or cry for Hank.
âSonny!â
Liberty remembered her son and was suddenly anxious. âLiberty, I asked Mrs. Lane to take care of Sonny. Sonny usually sleeps through the night until dawn anyway.â
Sonny was naughty, but at times, he could be very wellâbehaved. It was especially true when he slept at night. He would usually sleep till morning unless he was uncomfortable.
Only then did Liberty feel relieved upon hearing that. âSeren, Zachary, how did you two find me?â
Liberty only thought about this question after she was assured that her son was in good hands.
Serenity gave her sister an earful. âLiberty, weâre sisters. Since our parents passed away, weâve depended on each other for fifteen years and have discussed everything together. This time, you excluded me, so how could I rest assured?
âZacharyâs friend who helped collect evidence of Hankâs infidelity is highly capable. He quickly found out that Hank was here as soon as Zachary asked him, so we rushed over. âLiberty, no matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me, okay? Donât try to carry the burden alone. Iâm all grown up now, and Iâm no longer the little girl who you have to protect.â
After a moment of silence, Liberty said, âEarlier when I pulled you back to stop you from beating up those scumbags because I was â afraid theyâd sue you for intentional injury and ask you to pay for their medical expenses. No matter how much they did me dirty, itâs illegal to beat someone up. âItâs different if I beat them up because they wronged me, so theyâll have a guilty conscience. They will only suck it up after being beaten and scolded by me, so they wonât dare ask me for compensation.
âSeren, just trust me on this. I can handle it. If I really need your help, Iâll definitely come to you.â
Back when their parents died, Liberty was only fifteen years old, and she was able to bring her sister up and survive their relativesâ oppression. Now when facing her husbandâs infidelity, Liberty was confident that she could handle her own affairs without involving her sister.
After more than three years of marriage, Liberty tolerated everything because of love.
Once their love disappeared and their marriage broken, Liberty would not tolerate it any longer and would retaliate.
She wanted to let the pair of scumbags know that she was not one to be bullied.
They recorded on video tonightâs incident, so Liberty could accuse Hank on a moral level, and everyone would also stand on her side.
Serenity hugged her sister again.
Liberty pushed her sister away and frowned before asking, âSeren, have you been drinking? I can smell alcohol on your body.â
Serenity was speechless. She only drank two bottles of beer. How could Liberty smell alcohol from her?
Oh! Serenity did not shower.
No wonder Liberty could still smell the alcohol on her body.
âI... I just drank two bottles of beer when I went out with Zachary for supper.â Liberty said to her sister, âYou should drink less in the future.â
She turned to her brotherâinâlaw.âZachary, you should watch her. She has a low alcohol tolerance and gets drunk easily. Drinking too much is bad for her health, so donât let her drink in the future. Donât spoil her too much.â
Zachary quickly said, âIâm sorry, Liberty. Itâs my fault. I ordered the beers for her.â
âI know. If she ordered, she wouldâve ordered something stronger, not beer. She likes to drink even though she canât handle it. When she was young, she secretly drank my dadâs alcohol when my dad was drinking.â
Liberty recalled a memory and said, âI remember that day. It was the first of May when my parents were home for a public holiday. Mom prepared shot glasses of vodka to drink with Dad, and Seren secretly drank them while my parents werenât looking. âAfter drinking the vodka, Seren was afraid of being scolded, so she poured water into the shot glasses.â
Liberty suddenly laughed and said, âWhen Mom returned to serve the âvodkaâ to Dad, he drank it and complained, saying that the small townâs grocer was selling fake alcohol. That newly bought bottle of vodka didnât taste or smell anything like alcohol. It tasted like water instead.
âMom didnât believe him and said that it was impossible to get rid of the smell of alcohol even if they diluted it. So, she took a shot, and like Dad, she scolded the small townâs grocer for selling fake alcohol, Seren laughed so much in a corner that her stomach hurt.â Serenity was embarrassed.
