Chapter 719

Serenity said, “I understand that another marriage isn’t on the table now, but I’m speaking in terms of the future. You’re young, Liberty. Are you planning to be single for the rest of your life?”

“Why not? I think I’m doing fine. I don’t need to wait on my in–laws hand and foot or deal with any issue with a mother–in–law and a sister–in–law. I can do whatever I want and spend on whatever I want. I feel free.”

Thanks to her newfound freedom, it dawned on Liberty why more and more women did not want to take the marriage route.

Serenity was speechless.

“Don’t worry about me, Seren. My life can’t be better. Don’t you think I’m happier now that I’m divorced?”

Serenity nodded her head.

“Don’t you wish I’ll always be happy?”

“Of course.”

“Don’t bring up the possibility of a second marriage. I just escaped from hell, but Seren, this shouldn’t be a reason for you to be afraid of marriage. Yours is different from mine. Zachary seems like a reliable guy.

There was no guarantee that people would not change down the road.

“Has Zachary gone to work?”

“Yes.”

Liberty grabbed a wrap to strap her son on her bag while speaking, “Remind Zachary to put on layers when the weather is cold. Don’t let him work too hard. Health is most important, and the rest comes second.”

“He’s a grown–up. He should know how to take care of himself. He must have gotten the flu from overworking himself. Stress doesn’t go well with building body immunity. The viral flu comes around this time of the year.”

Serenity did not have the guts to say that Zachary got a cold from taking cold showers and that the cold showers were because of her.

“Where are you carrying Sonny, Liberty? Mrs. Lane and I can watch Sonny here. You can go and get the stuff you need, or should I drive you instead?”

“I don’t need to get anything more for the shop for now. I was thinking of going to the market to get some spices to make my own sauce. I can use it when I’m open for business.

“And appetizers. I wonder if I should get them store–bought or make my own.”

Assisting her sister in strapping Sonny on her back, Serenity uttered, “It’ll be troublesome to make them all on your own. You should buy the ready–made from the store but get the trusted brand. They might be expensive. Breakfast can give you small profits and quick returns, so you should watch the costs.

“I’ll go with you to the market, Liberty.”

Liberty did not refuse.

With Mrs. Lane in tow, the sisters went to the market and bought a lot of spices.

They then returned to Liberty’s rented apartment.

Liberty started making condiments and appetizers to use for business after New Year.

“I want to talk to you about something, Liberty.”

“Do tell.”

Lifting her head, Liberty glanced at her sister and went back to her work preparations.

“Zachary kept something from me.”

Joining Sonny in his play time, Mrs. Lane overheard the conversation and looked over.

She thought to herself, ‘Did Mr. Zachary come clean to the missus about everything?‘

Liberty stopped what she was doing and asked her sister, “What did Zachary hide from you? Get his side of the story if it’s something important. You don’t have to start a fight. Everybody has their own secrets. Even married couples don’t share about every single thing.
