Chapter 439<\/div>\n
Unfortunately, Zachary only contemplated the idea but never acted on it. His pride prevented him from doing anything so underhanded.<\/div>\n
As a result, he tossed and turned until he was finally taken away by the sandman.<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, in an apartment, Hank was rummaging through the bedside table for a pack of cigarettes. He pulled out a cigarette and was about to light it when the woman beside him reached over. \u201cGive me one too,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
Hank handed Jessica a cigarette and helped her light it.<\/div>\n
\u201cJust smoke occasionally,\u201d he advised.<\/div>\n
Hank was not a heavy smoker; he only smoked while discussing business with clients. Generally, he avoided smoking unless he had something weighing on his mind.<\/div>\n
Liberty disliked men who smoked frequently because she found their breath unpleasant.<\/div>\n
Although Jessica smoked, she pretended to be virtuous and never lit up in front of Hank. However, since they had been intimate and Hank was preparing to divorce Liberty for her, she felt there was no longer a need to hide it. Hank would discover her secret eventually.<\/div>\n
After finishing half a cigarette, she leaned against him and asked softly, \u201cWhat\u2019s on your mind?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing,\u201d he replied.<\/div>\n
Jessica laughed and traced her fingers over his chest. \u201cCan\u2019t bear to divorce that overweight woman in your house?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOf course not. I was just thinking about how to draft the divorce agreement. I told my parents I would give Liberty two hundred thousand, but they both thought that was excessive. When my sister found out, she scolded me, saying I was too generous to someone who hasn\u2019t earned a penny since our marriage.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just considering that we\u2019re still husband and wife, and I was the one who let her down first. We should part on good terms, so I plan to give her two hundred thousand.\u201d<\/div>\n

a thousand, lest she cause a scene. If our relationship becomes public, our reputations will be tarnished.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jessica extinguished her cigarette and replied, \u201cYour parents and sister are your family. They genuinely want what\u2019s best for you. You should take their advice more seriously.\u201d <\/p>\n

Then she playfully added, \u201cWe\u2019ve come this far, Hank. Should I rent out my apartment and move in with you?\u201d <\/p>\n

Hank kissed her gently and reassured her, \u201cNot just yet. We\u2019ll live together once I finalize the divorce with Liberty.\u201d <\/p>\n

He further promised, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t let Liberty take the house. I\u2019ll keep the house and the car and will only provide her with a small amount of savings on paper. Jessica, I\u2019ll ensure our future is free of worries. I will marry you properly.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jessica felt relieved. \u201cMy parents keep asking when we\u2019ll get married. They think you\u2019re too good, and someone might steal you away.\u201d <\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t dare tell her parents that she was involved in someone else\u2019s marriage, so she lied and said that Hank was still single. <\/p>\n

At only thirty and having a successful career, her parents believed her claim about his single status. They proudly shared with friends and relatives how she had found such a capable boyfriend. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll get our marriage license as soon as I\u2019m divorced, and then we\u2019ll have a grand wedding,\u201d he promised. <\/p>\n

Jessica kissed his cheek softly, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll wait for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

The two exchanged sweet nothings for a while, and then Hank got out of bed to draft the divorce agreement. <\/p>\n

After completing it, he handed it to Jessica for her review. <\/p>\n

Hank was primarily focused on his own interests, so the divorce agreement was fairly acceptable to Jessica. The only point of contention for her was his desire to retain custody of Sonny. <\/p>\n

Deep down, Jessica hoped that Hank would give up custody of<\/p>\n

Sonny allowed Liberty to take him away, ensuring she wouldn\u2019t have to face that eyesore. Who would want to take in and raise a child that wasn\u2019t theirs? She was still young, and Hank wasn\u2019t too old either. They would have their own children after marriage, and when that happened, Sonny would become an even greater eyesore.<\/p>\n
