Now that Hank Brown has been promoted, any of the women around him would have been better than your sister-in-law. With time, he will naturally begin to feel repelled by her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary\u2019s gaze was icy, and his tone matched. \u201cWhy did she change so much? Because she loved him and accepted the changes in her body. She gave birth to his child and, to allow him to focus on his work, she raised the child and managed the entire household on her own. She sacrificed her youth and beauty for him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He could personally attest to the differences in her appearance before and after marriage. Liberty had changed quite a bit; she could at least stand to lose some weight.<\/div>\n<div>However, that was no justification for Hank\u2019s infidelity. His cruelty had always been lurking beneath the surface, just waiting for the right moment to manifest. Now that he was succeeding at work, he had become arrogant, looking down on his wife and treating her with disdain.<\/div>\n<div>If Hank truly found Liberty unattractive in her current state, he could have simply asked her to lose some weight.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty still had feelings for him and would have likely made an effort to shed some pounds if he had requested it. Instead, Hank chose to belittle Liberty in every aspect of their marriage, nitpicking her flaws and even suggesting they split household expenses equally.<\/div>\n<div>Did Hank not realize that Liberty was currently unemployed and had no income to contribute?<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThat\u2019s true. A good, principled man wouldn\u2019t have strayed even if his wife became a two-hundred-pound woman.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>A faithful man would never seek an affair simply because his wife had become less attractive or gained weight.<\/div>\n<p>Hank was tired of Liberty. It was possible he had intentionally made her gain weight to justify his disgust and pursue an affair. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake sure Hank Brown doesn\u2019t find out about this,\u201d someone warned. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelax! I\u2019m in charge of this. Do you really not trust me to handle it well? Unless my men want him to know, we could trace his family tree back eighteen generations and he\u2019d still be in the dark,\u201d Josh assured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary, this is a solid plan. When you present the evidence of Hank Brown\u2019s affair to your wife, she will appreciate it, and then you two can finally reconcile and return to how you used to be,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary\u2019s mouth twitched. \u201cReturn to how we used to be? When we first met, I could barely remember her name.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Josh was left speechless. Clearly, that was not the right thing to say.<\/p>\n<p>After asking Josh to investigate Hank Brown, Zachary handed over the stack of documents he had been working on and said flatly, \u201cYou can clock out now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to, but I have a business engagement tonight,\u201d Josh replied.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary fell silent, remembering he too had a business engagement to attend. Typically, his business discussions occurred in the office or his presidential suite at Wiltspoon Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Fine. He didn\u2019t have to go to the hotel to drink tonight; he could indulge at the business engagement instead.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Serenity shared some seafood that Elisa had given her with her sister to take home. She also offered some to Jasmine. Although Jasmine\u2019s family had plenty of good food and ate seafood daily, she gladly accepted it because it was a gift from her good friend. <\/p>\n<p>Just then, Callum York\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When Serenity arrived to pick up Grandma May, she struggled to carry a large bag of seafood. Noticing her difficulty, he quickly exited the car and rushed to help her. \u201cSerenity, this bag is really heavy. You should have asked us for help,\u201d he said. He didn\u2019t want his sister-in-law to tire herself out. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cExactly! I told you that you didn\u2019t have to. Let Callum handle it; men like him are stronger,\u201d Grandma May chimed in. <\/p>\n<p>She thought to herself, \u2018Look at Callum; he knows how to be considerate. It\u2019s just that iceberg Zack who doesn\u2019t understand.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sigh\u2026 How concerning,\u2019 she reflected. <\/p>\n<p>Although Grandma May recognized her worries, not a trace of it showed on her face. Her eldest grandson had given her front-row seats to an amusing spectacle, and she was thoroughly enjoying it. She wasn\u2019t truly worried; that feeling simply didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 253 Josh was not surprised to learn that Hank Brown was having an affair.
