Chapter 440
Married at First Sight
Jessica was upset but did not show it. After all, she was not his wife yet, so she could not say too much lest Hank resent her. Her future husbandâs family might also have a problem with her.
Sonny was just over two years old. He was not sensible yet and could not take care of himself. If he lived under her hands, she had plenty of opportunities to deal with him, so there was no hurry.
âNo problem.â
Jessica handed the divorce agreement back to Hank. âIâll print two copies for you. Take them to Liberty tomorrow and have her sign them, one for each of you. On Monday, hurry and go to the City Hall to file for divorce.â
Hank laughed. âIâm more impatient than you are.â
âIâm not impatient.â
Jessica laughed as she helped Hank print the divorce papers.
That night, the two people dreamed beautifully, thinking about their happy life after marriage.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, Serenity woke up and saw the note Zachary left on the dresser. She quickly picked up her phone and called Jasmine.
âSeren, Iâm still sleeping.â
Jasmineâs eyes were not even open yet. She yawned while saying, âI slept late last night.â
Serenity laughed. âI figured youâre not up yet. You wouldnât be able to read if I sent you a message, so I called you instead. Zachary left me a note saying his colleague will be waiting for you at Beans and Cream at 10 this morning. Heâll be holding a red rose in his hand.â
âI wouldâve forgotten about the blind date if you didnât remind me.â
Jasmine opened her eyes and sat up. âBeans and Cream again? Okay, I got it. I wonât be late.â
At most, she would leave early.
âSet your alarm and go back to sleep for a little longer. I wonât bother you.â
âYouâre not coming with me?â
Jasmine was always accompanied by Serenity every time she went on a blind date.
Serenityâs relaxed tone turned heavy, and she said, âMy sister will be discussing the divorce with Hank today. Iâm my sisterâs only family, so I have to be there.â
âYouâre right. You need to help Liberty out. Donât let her be bullied by the Browns. Yesterday evening, your scumbag brotherâinâlaw went to our shop and wanted to pick Sonny up, saying that Sonnyâs grandparents missed him.
âI couldnât be bothered with him. When he didnât see Sonny in the shop and I kept ignoring him, he left resentfully. You were on a getaway, so I only told Liberty.â
Serenity sneered. âThey miss Sonny? If they really miss him, they wouldnât have tried to make him sick. I think he just wants to take Sonny away to blackmail my sister into making concessions or leaving without a penny to her name.â
Ham Hank had an affair and was caught by Liberty. He was at fault.
When a divorce lawsuit was filed and properties divided, he should give her more money.
However, how would jerks like the Browns be willing to give money to Liberty? They just wanted to use Sonny to blackmail her into giving in.
Serenity hated people like Hank the most. He neglected his child but wanted to fight for custody during the divorce, as if he would die if he lost the child. In fact, he was just using the child as a bargaining chip.
If he really won custody, he would just turn around and send the child away, neglecting them again.
âSeren, will Sonny be in danger? Why donât you discuss it with your sister and send Sonny to a safe place to live for a few days? Send him somewhere the Brown family canât find or wonât dare to go to, lest they threaten your sister with him.â
