Home in the future.
“Remarry? You want my sister and Hank to remarry? Sure, they’ll remarry when pigs fly and hell freezes over!”
Regret?
Olivia only said that because she knew she couldn’t compete with Jessica. Echoing Liberty’s sentiments, if Olivia truly had Jessica under her thumb, she wouldn’t have come to complain, but rather to boast.
“Don’t be so certain about that. Do you want to see your sister live like this for the rest of her life? Or do you honestly believe your sister can find someone better? Serenity, you’re still young. It’s not easy for divorced women to get a second chance at marriage, especially a single mother.”
“It might be easier for a divorced woman with a daughter to remarry, but it’s much harder if she has a son.”
Olivia was doing her best to persuade Serenity to convince Liberty to give Hank another chance.
“Even if my sister never marries again in this lifetime, it’s still better than remarrying Hank. Are you finished talking? Move your hand away. I’m going to close the door.” Serenity said this after gathering enough information about Hank and Jessica. “Wait, Serenity, Serenity… Let me in and have a seat. I came out without my phone or wallet. I have no money to eat right now, all because of that Yates girl. I was so angry that I didn’t eat all day.”
Olivia continued pounding on the door outside.
Serenity went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a large salad bowl, and filled it before opening the front door again to pour cold water on Olivia.
“Ah! Serenity Hunt!”
“Get lost!”
“Serenity, I’m telling you, if you keep behaving like this, your husband will abandon you sooner or later… I’ll leave.”
Seeing Serenity grab a broom, Olivia looked at her ex-daughter-in-law, who had not spared her a single glance or word since the beginning. She ran away in fear.
I saw Serenity coming back with the broom.
