Chapter 533
Married at First Sight
Chapter 533 âChelsea said sheâs having problems at work. I wonder what happened. I thought she was doing well. What changed?â Mrs. Brown mumbled as she swiftly tapped the call button to connect to her daughter. During the call, Chelsea restlessly uttered, âI donât know whatâs going on, Mom. I have a feeling the people at work are out to get me. They have a bone to pick in everything I do. Not one good thing happened the whole day. Just let the divorce go through if Hank wants it, Mom. Your son is a great man. Heâll have no problems finding another wife.â
âGod knows where Liberty found dirt on your brother, and she got enough to threaten your brother to meet all her demands. Liberty gets over a million bucks in alimony, full custody of Sonny, and three thousand dollars a month for child support.â âDoes Hank have that much money to give her?â Chelsea was shocked. âHank had transferred his assets out, but Liberty somehow got proof of the transfer.
Never mind. Since trouble at the workplace is putting you down, you donât have to go with me. Your dad and I will go into the city first thing tomorrow morning to have a chat with Liberty and her sister.â
Chelsea replied, âGo for Serenity, Mom. Convincing her is basically convincing Liberty.â âI think so too.â
The mother and daughter chatted for a while over the phone before they disconnected the call.
Serenity popped over to Libertyâs place after work to discuss the latterâs housing following the move out of the Brownsâ residence.
As expected, Liberty turned down the offer to move into her little sisterâs place. She said, âI will have enough money so long as Hank pays up, so I wonât need to move to your place. Iâll rent a place and look around for a property. The money should cover the deposit for a slightly smaller house.
âWith the rest of the money, Iâll see if I can continue working at Lewis & Co. In the event I canât work there anymore, Iâll quit and run a breakfast place as youâve suggested.â
Serenity stopped the persuasion and instead said to her sister, âLet me know whenever youâre in need.
I can lend you the money.â
âDonât worry. I wonât hesitate to ask you.â
Serenity stroked her nephew who was nestled in her sisterâs arms.
âAnt Swer.â
âDoes Sonny want a hug?â
After much thought, Sonny stretched both arins out to let Serenity hold him.
Serenity gave him a hug before carefully inspecting the bruise on his face. âThe doctor mentioned applying a hot compress every day after twenty-four hours have passed.â âI followed the doctorâs order, and the bruise is looking much better now.â Sonnyâs whining had calmed down a lot as Liberty took the time to be with him and pacify the boy. âTake Sonny out for a stroll tomorrow, Liberty.
Come to my shop if you donât have any place to go to.â
âSure,â Liberty answered.
Serenity stayed for a friendly chat before leaving her sisterâs place. Mrs. Lane remained at Libertyâs house. Prior to leaving, Serenity had Mrs. Lane help pack Libertyâs things. Once the divorce was finalized, Serenity would bring people over to help her sister move and demolish the house renovation before returning the house to Hank. By the time Serenity returned to Brynfrield, Grandma May was already asleep. She tiptoed into the room and took a shower before creeping into Zacharyâs room.
Zachary told her to wait for his return in his bedroom.
With a phone in hand, Serenity scrolled for videos in bed until she gave in to the sandmanâs dust. She dozed off without knowing her phone had fallen onto the bed. Zachary returned home with glee.
Serenity promised him that she would be waiting for him in his room. Zachary deliberately left his bedroom door unlocked before he went out this morning to give Serenity access. He eagerly pushed his bedroom door open the moment he got back The room was brightly lit. Lo and behold, his wife was lying in bed, but she was asleep.
