Chapter 119<\/div>\n
\u201cHank, are you really suggesting that we go Dutch when my sister doesn\u2019t even have a job? She\u2019s at home raising your child, and yet you think it\u2019s fair to split costs with her. What\u2019s the point of her being married to you?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou often claim my sister does nothing around the house, so today she decided to live up to that expectation and do nothing. Oh, but wait\u2026 she still managed to do half the work! She bought the ingredients, measured out the pasta, and even prepared a pot of water for you. All you have to do is cook it yourself.\u201d<\/div>\n
Hank tried to respond, but Serenity cut him off. \u201cHank, do you honestly believe your house takes care of itself every single day? Sonny is still very young, and when he plays with his toys, he leaves them scattered all over the floor\u2014he can\u2019t clean up after himself.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDo you think those toys magically put themselves away? And who do you think is responsible for your meals every day? Isn\u2019t my sister the one doing your dirty laundry as well?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t my sister prepare three meals a day for you?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYou only hold resentment toward her because she doesn\u2019t have a job or an income. If it weren\u2019t for her managing the household so well, would you even be able to focus on your work?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThis home belongs to both of you. My sister handles the household while you bring in the income. You can\u2019t say she doesn\u2019t contribute just because she isn\u2019t employed outside the home. In reality, my sister\u2019s responsibilities are far more challenging. Why don\u2019t you and my sister switch roles for a day? You could handle the laundry, cooking, taking care of the baby, and cleaning the house while she goes out to work.\u201d<\/div>\n
Before their marriage, Liberty\u2019s income was not significantly lower than Hank\u2019s.<\/div>\n
Hank opened his mouth several times, but Serenity\u2019s arguments left him speechless. After a moment, he finally spoke up, albeit sheepishly, \u201cSerenity, I\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n

You only spoke a single sentence, yet your response felt like a lengthy lecture as if I had done something terrible to your sister. Aren\u2019t you busy managing your store? If business isn\u2019t going well and you\u2019re not making much profit, perhaps it would be better to close it down and find a job working for someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t Zachary employed at a large company? You could ask him to help you get a position there. Earning a few thousand dollars a month is surely better than struggling to keep your business afloat,\u201d came the suggestion.<\/p>\n

Serenity replied coolly, \u201cYou really don\u2019t need to concern yourself with my finances. I earn enough to cover my expenses and have a little left over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2013I\u2019m going to cook now,\u201d Hank stammered, sensing his sister-in-law\u2019s anger and opting not to engage further. He turned and retreated to the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Taking a moment to breathe deeply, Serenity knew she had to endure Hank for now since Liberty wasn\u2019t ready to file for divorce just yet. If he dared to speak ill of her sister again, once Liberty found a job and prepared for their separation, Serenity would not hesitate to confront him.<\/p>\n

She entered Liberty\u2019s room and found her sitting on the edge of the bed, gently caressing Sonny. Serenity understood that Liberty was tolerating the situation primarily for the sake of her child. When Liberty noticed the door opening, she turned to see Serenity and stood up to approach her. \u201cSerenity, your brother-in-law won\u2019t heed your words. Please don\u2019t worry about me. I\u2019ll take care of myself until I decide to move on from him. Aren\u2019t you going to buy a gift for Zachary? You should head out now. I promise, I\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll go shopping now. Just call me if you need anything. And if he ever lays a hand on you, I will not stand by and let anyone hurt my sister!\u201d Serenity asserted firmly.<\/p>\n

Liberty nodded in response. She had put up with so much in the past because of her love for Hank, but at this moment, her feelings had shifted to disappointment. She was enduring the situation for Sonny\u2019s sake, feeling powerless to change her circumstances at this time.<\/p>\n

Custody was a pressing concern for Serenity, but she felt a sense of relief knowing that Hank would no longer be able to threaten her once she got back on her feet. With encouragement from Liberty, Serenity decided it was time to leave.<\/p>\n

As Serenity was about to walk out, Hank emerged from the kitchen, having just finished cooking a dish. He asked her in a casual tone, \u201cSerenity, have you eaten?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d she replied nonchalantly before stepping out the door.<\/p>\n

Hank had only prepared one dish, as he hadn\u2019t cooked all the meals that Liberty made. He took a forkful of his vegetables, tasted it, and immediately spat it out, clearly dissatisfied with his culinary attempt.<\/p>\n
