Married at First Sight Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188

Jessica replied, “Was it easy for my parents to raise me while yours had a hard time with you? What makes you think I should tolerate them? Your mother never raised me and constantly targets me, insisting that I’m not as good as Liberty and comparing me to her. Am I not entitled to be angry?”

“She constantly praises Liberty and criticizes me, claiming I don’t know how to manage my life and that I always order takeout instead of cooking. I’m busy too! She doesn’t cook despite having nothing to do at home, yet she expects me to prepare meals for her when I’m there. Isn’t that bullying?”

“When I first visited your home, your mother and sister treated me very well. I kept discussing Liberty with them because I thought she was struggling with your mother. Now, I see they’re just skilled at pretending and managed to deceive me as well.”

Furthermore, Jessica had put herself in this predicament.

“So much for believing I was different. In the end…”

The treatment she received as a wife and a lover was vastly different.

“And you, who used to be so compliant with me. What’s changed?”

Hank reassured her, “Am I not compliant now? Back then, I split everything equally with Liberty. For instance, Sonny’s milk powder cost $350, and I contributed only $175, which was my half. I was meticulous about everything with her.”

“Once we married, I gave you complete financial control. Isn’t that enough? I even added your name to the house deed. I gave you my heart.”

Hank felt he couldn’t backtrack now.

After all, he and Jessica had just obtained their marriage license and had yet to hold their wedding. He couldn’t divorce her, could he?

Moreover, he had feelings for Jessica. She was several years younger and still very much in her youth. His

His feelings for her were still fresh. Did Hank regret his decision? Of course he did, but he wouldn’t dare let Jessica find out. He believed he paid a heavy price when he and Liberty divorced. Had he known he would end up in this situation, he would have never gone through with it. Unfortunately, Liberty insisted on the divorce after discovering his infidelity, giving him no opportunity to redeem himself. Now, Hank’s second marriage was in turmoil.

In contrast, Liberty was thriving after their separation. Not only had she opened a breakfast shop, but she had also successfully lost weight. Additionally, Duncan, a CEO, was pursuing her. Her life appeared to be improving significantly, and sadly, it had nothing to do with Hank.

Hank felt uneasy at the thought of Liberty potentially becoming a member of the Lewis family through marriage. However, upon reflection, he deemed it unlikely. The Lewises were a prestigious and wealthy family. Even though Duncan had some physical flaws and was somewhat older, this would be his first marriage. It was likely that the family elders would disapprove of him marrying a divorcee like Liberty.

Moreover, Hank sensed that Liberty did not reciprocate romantic feelings for Duncan. Having known her for over a decade, he could easily tell that she was not interested in him that way.

“My mom keeps comparing you to Liberty just to annoy you. Just ignore her. I’ve told her not to bring Liberty up in front of you anymore.” Hank and Liberty’s divorce was partly due to his actions, but also influenced by his mother and sister. “Zachary took revenge on us and caused us to lose our jobs. If we hadn’t lost our jobs, my mom would have flaunted her status in front of Liberty. Honey, I’m going to start driving for Uber in two days to make some money. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.”

“Well, I want you to live a good life now that you’re married to me.” Under his coaxing and persuasion, Jessica’s anger began to fade.
