Chapter 540
Married at First Sight
Chapter 540 âSerenity.â
Mike and John entered the shop with Granddad.
The others were left outside. âIs this your man?â
Old Mr. Hunt sized Zachary up for a while, forming the opinion that Serenityâs husband was better than Libertyâs husband.
Meanwhile, he was upset as well as his granddaughters did not give them financial support when the girls got hitched. The girls were raised, only to ditch their own family for another.
His son would turn over in his grave if he knew what his daughters did.
Although the girlsâ parents were no longer around, their grandparents, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were.
Serenity and Liberty should have provided their grandparents the financial support. However, Serenity and Liberty did nothing of that sort.
âThatâs your grandson-in-law. What do you think? Isnât he hot?â
Approaching Zachary, Serenity placed her hand on his shoulder and deliberately asked Granddad.
âDonât we look good together?â
Old Mr. Hunt was rendered speechless. He asked the old lady. âAnd you are?â
âYour in-law.â
Ah. The old lady was from Serenityâs husbandâs side of the family.
Old Mr. Hunt pulled out a waterpipe and some tobacco to take a couple of puffs before remarking, âSerenity didnât inform us about getting married. We have no idea of your existence. Today is the first time we met.
âI heard Serenity didnât have a wedding. Iâm wondering how much financial support youâre intending to provide for our Serenity. Have you prepared a marital home, car, and whatnot for her?
âAlthough Serenityâs parents are no longer with us, we, as the grandparents, are still around. We might have had our differences in the past, but it doesnât change the fact that Iâm her grandfather. The means of support youâre giving Serenity should come through us first.â
Grandma May would have stormed off with a grimace at the mention of money during the first meeting with in-laws if she were an ordinary wealthy lady.
Nevertheless, the old lady uttered with a smile, âof course, we would provide the necessary, but it would be for Seren. As to how she intends to use the money, thatâs her business. We wonât poke our nose into the matter.â
In other words, the Hunts would need Serenityâs permission to access the money. Following the numerous confrontations, the Hunts had been bested by Serenity. They should think twice before trying to get their hands on Serenityâs money.
Old Mr. Hunt was lost for words.
âIs your sister filing for divorce, Serenity?â
Knowing they could not get a penny out of Serenity, Old Mr. Hunt stiffly changed the subject. This was also one of the main reasons they were here today.
âWell, news sure travels fast to you, Granddad.â
Serenity retorted sarcastically, guessing that the Browns probably had a change of heart and persuaded Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt to talk to them.
âLook at Liberty. Who would want a divorcee like her? She also has a child. Why take the divorce route? Her man only strayed a little because of the business engagement he has to conduct for his successful career. She could turn a blind eye so long as he comes home to her.
âI know what her man did to her. Iâm furious too. See. I brought your uncle and cousins along to stick up for your sister and teach her man a lesson. We can beat him up if necessary. Heâll see the error of his ways and stay true to your sister.
âSerenity, your sister listens to everything you say. Take my advice and talk some sense into your sister. Donât file for divorce. Itâs better to save a marriage than to wreck it. Youâre Libertyâs sister. You should talk her out of getting a divorce.
âYour sisterâs man only abused her because she did not have a family standing up for her. Now that weâre here, weâve got her back. I can promise that her man wonât lay another finger on her.â
Old Mr. Hunt peered at Zachary before adding. âSerenity, no matter what weâve done to you and your sister in the past, weâre still family. You both are married and will be picked on by your in-laws if you donât have your family by your side. âTake the high road and be forgiving. Stop giving your cousins a hard time. Let them go back to doing their business and job.â Old Mr. Hunt defended the Browns while pleading on behalf of his children and grandchildren.
