What makes you think I should tolerate them? Your mother never raised me and constantly targets me, insisting that I\u2019m not as good as Liberty and comparing me to her. Am I not entitled to be angry?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe constantly praises Liberty and criticizes me, claiming I don\u2019t know how to manage my life and that I always order takeout instead of cooking. I\u2019m busy too! She doesn\u2019t cook despite having nothing to do at home, yet she expects me to prepare meals for her when I\u2019m there. Isn\u2019t that bullying?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen 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\u2019re just skilled at pretending and managed to deceive me as well.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Furthermore, Jessica had put herself in this predicament.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo much for believing I was different. In the end\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The treatment she received as a wife and a lover was vastly different.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAnd you, who used to be so compliant with me. What\u2019s changed?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank reassured her, \u201cAm I not compliant now? Back then, I split everything equally with Liberty. For instance, Sonny\u2019s milk powder cost $350, and I contributed only $175, which was my half. I was meticulous about everything with her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOnce we married, I gave you complete financial control. Isn\u2019t that enough? I even added your name to the house deed. I gave you my heart.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank felt he couldn\u2019t backtrack now.<\/div>\n<div>After all, he and Jessica had just obtained their marriage license and had yet to hold their wedding. He couldn\u2019t divorce her, could he?<\/div>\n<div>Moreover, he had feelings for Jessica. She was several years younger and still very much in her youth. His<\/p>\n<p>His feelings for her were still fresh. Did Hank regret his decision? Of course he did, but he wouldn\u2019t 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\u2019s second marriage was in turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom keeps comparing you to Liberty just to annoy you. Just ignore her. I\u2019ve told her not to bring Liberty up in front of you anymore.\u201d Hank and Liberty\u2019s divorce was partly due to his actions, but also influenced by his mother and sister. \u201cZachary took revenge on us and caused us to lose our jobs. If we hadn\u2019t lost our jobs, my mom would have flaunted her status in front of Liberty. Honey, I\u2019m going to start driving for Uber in two days to make some money. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I want you to live a good life now that you\u2019re married to me.\u201d Under his coaxing and persuasion, Jessica\u2019s anger began to fade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1188 Jessica replied, \u201cWas it easy for my parents to raise me while yours had a hard time with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13165"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13265,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13165\/revisions\/13265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
