Chapter 921
Married at First Sight
Hank fled away in his car.
On his way home, he could not stop cussing Liberty out. Jessica was the sweetest. and kindest little thing. Hank did not regret divorcing Liberty!
Back at his rented place, Hank saw a familiar car downstairs. Hankâs head was about to explode.
It was his sister.
Here came his sister again.
Hank ran his fingers along his hair in annoyance. He had better go home.
He and Jessica were out of work. It was clear that Zachary was out to get him. Did Zachary have something to do with his sister and brotherâinâlaw losing their jobs too?
In that case, Hank had dragged his sister down with him.
Once outside the door, Hank could hear the arguments inside.
Since the company let Jessica and Hank go together, the couple left the office together. However, Hank told Jessica to get out and hail a cab midâjourney as he needed to blow some steam off.
Showing understanding, Jessica took a cab home.
She was not in a good mood either.
Hank always looked out for her when she was Hankâs secretary. She also enjoyed a good income, so to suddenly lose her job, Jessica had a lot of fury in her.
She came back to her rented home to find her sisterâinâlaw and Lucas there. Jessica faintly said hello before turning to her bedroom.
Jessica walked into her bedroom turned upside down. Her cosmetic and skincare products were scattered all over the dressing table and floor. Her lipsticks were broken in halves, and her dressing table was covered in various skincare creams.
The walls, floor, and duvet cover had doodles of red. The red scribbles made her see red.
âMom.â
Jessica shouted out loud.
Mrs. Brown came in and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Why do you have to scream so loud? Iâm not deaf.
I can hear.â
âMom, look at my room. Did Lucas do this? Lucas is a naughty boy. I told you many times not to let him into Hankâs and my room. Look at what he did to my cosmetic and skincare products. He messed the room up.â
Chelsea entered the room and inspected her sonâs handy work. She remarked without a care, âYou can clean up. Youâre an adult and an aunt. How can you fuss about it with a fourâyearâold child?
âLucas is just a little boy. He doesnât know any better. He played with your things, thinking they were toys. Thatâs how he plays when he comes here. Liberty never said anything.â
Liberty would lock the bedroom door to stop Lucas from entering.
Besides, Sonny had a lot of toys. Lucas would fight with Sonny over toys instead of wreaking havoc in Libertyâs room. Liberty would clean up after Lucas and never threw a fit over it.
Liberty had always been tolerant.
Sonnyâs custody went to Liberty after the divorce. Plus, Jessica had not given birth to a child. Since there were no kids in the family, there were also no toys.
Four years old was an active and cheeky age. Toddlers at this age could not sit still for a minute.
Without any toys around, Lucas could only look for his own. entertainment. Hank did not have the tendency of locking doors. Lucas simply turned the doorknobs and let himself in.
Chelsea came over to vent to her mother about finding a job. Now that she and her husband were jobless at home, they were spending more money than ever. Plus, the couple had been having fightsâ
her criticizing her husband for taking so long to find a job and her husband accusing her of being useless.
