Married at First Sight Chapter 834

Chapter 834

Jessica knew that Hank had attended a social event, which likely meant he had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. She called him to remind him to drive safely, but she didn’t explicitly tell him not to drive after drinking.

Hank felt frustrated as he compared Jessica to Liberty.

He could only convince himself, ‘Jessica is still young and doesn’t yet understand how to care for others. She will improve over time.’

Hank stared at Liberty’s rented apartment for a long time before finally driving away. He even made a point to stop at a florist to buy a bouquet of flowers to take home.

Upon returning to his apartment and opening the door, he found his mother sitting on the couch, visibly angry. Neither his father nor Jessica was in the living room.

Chelsea’s family had gone back to their hometown after the children’s school reopened.

However, both Chelsea and her brother-in-law had lost their jobs and asked Hank to help them find new ones.

At this moment, Hank could hardly take care of himself, let alone assist them in their job search. His sister often complained that ever since he got involved with Jessica, his luck had turned sour. She insisted that Jessica was a source of trouble, claiming that anyone associated with her would face misfortune.

Chelsea began to praise Liberty, noting that although Liberty was overweight and not conventionally attractive, she seemed to bring good fortune to her husband. Since marrying Hank, his career had flourished, allowing him to amass considerable wealth.

While venting to Hank, Chelsea spoke loudly, showing no concern that Jessica could overhear her. Naturally, Jessica was irritated. After a heated argument with Hank’s sister, Jessica expelled her family from the apartment.

If Chelsea insisted on staying, Jessica would require her to contribute to rent and food expenses. Jessica wanted to…

Chelsea’s family decided to split the costs, which upset the latter.

Hank remembered the night Chelsea and Jessica had a fierce argument. He did his best to comfort his sister and gave her some money. Only then did she agree to bring her husband and children back to her hometown, as the kids needed to attend school.

He had to persuade Jessica and continued to discuss the matter of family support.

Chapter 834

The Yateses refused to lower the living expenses they demanded. They insisted that if they did not receive the requested amount, they would not allow Hank and Jessica to marry.

Since Jessica loved Hank, she secretly married him today.

This thought softened Hank’s expression. After all, Jessica loved him and was not interested in his money. Despite not receiving living expenses for her family, she was still willing to marry him.

“Mom.”

Hank approached his mother, carrying the bouquet of flowers he had purchased.

“Why are you upset? Where’s Jessica?”

When Olivia saw her son coming in with a bouquet, she instantly knew it was for Jessica, even without asking. Her mood darkened. She abruptly stood up, snatched the bouquet from him, and threw it on the floor, then stomped on it.

“Mom, Mom, I paid for those flowers.”

Hank quickly tried to salvage the bouquet, but it was too late.

The flowers wilted under his mother’s foot.

“Hank, you care more about the flowers than me, huh? I haven’t eaten anything. Since your wife returned, she’s been in her room on her phone. I’ve asked her several times to cook, but she still hasn’t come out. Is she planning to starve me?”

Hank glanced at the time and frowned, “Mom, don’t you know how to cook? When you were at Chelsea’s house, you helped her family prepare their meals every day.”

You’re not that old; you’re only in your fifties. The people in our hometown are still farming, even in their late fifties.

“Jessica has eaten at the office before coming home,” he said.

His words made Olivia feel as though her son had forgotten about her since marrying his wife.

Nonetheless, Liberty was better. When Liberty was Olivia’s daughter-in-law, she would always bring over many of Olivia’s favorite dishes. Liberty would cook, allowing Olivia to relax and do nothing.

After finishing the meal, Liberty would invite Olivia to eat. However, when Olivia was in a bad mood, she would be critical of the food and complain about Liberty’s cooking.

Now, Jessica eats at the office before coming home. Didn’t she realize she should be cooking for her mother-in-law?
