Female Novel
Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 531
Chapter 531 “The fight was just kids being kids. Plus, it was an accident. We will take good care ofSonny and keep him from harm’s way when we get custody.”
Mrs. Brown heartachingly said, “Hank, don’t go with the divorce. I can’t take it.”
It never crossed her mind that fights between children could influence decisions on a child’s custody.
Despite Mrs. Brown’s old age, she had never seen anyone take their divorce to court. In theseparations that she came across, the women would pack their things and walk out, leaving the house,car, and children to the men.
“Sure, it was just a fight between children, but people would see Sonny living with us as whether it’sconducive to his growth and well-being.” Hank patiently persuaded his parents. “Mom, I don’t loveLiberty anymore. It’s not like Liberty would take me back either. You can’t make things work just byforce. It would be hard for her and me at this rate. Besides, Liberty‘s willing to settle. The divorce isgoing to happen. “I’ve made up my mind, and I only came back to let you know.” Jessica was right. Itwas best if Hank made the decision for the matter between him and Liberty. It was good enough that helet his parents in the loops. With the sobs underway, Mrs. Brown smacked her husband. “Saysomething, old man! No, I must give Chelsea a call, and get her to talk some sense into you.” She wasabout to give her daughter a call when her husband stopped her. “Telling Chelsea will only make thematter worse.”
Mr. Brown peevishly remarked before asking his son, “Is divorce the only way? Are those pictures thatbig of a threat to you?”
He understood his son best. His son would not compromise and go with Liberty’s way unless he wasunder threat. “Dad, my career is done for if Liberty hands over the stuff to my boss. It doesn’t sound likea bad deal if I can end a loveless marriage and safeguard my future.” Mr. Brown fell silent.
Mrs. Brown lashed out. “Liberty went too far. What will she gain by destroying your future?
“She’s trying to get back at me since I didn‘t go easy on her. I lose out far worse than her because shehas nothing to lose.”
Mrs. Brown cursed her heart out.
She went from criticizing Liberty for going overboard, childing her son for his failure to keep it in hispants, to blasting Jessica about being the other woman and coming in between her son’s marriage.Now her son and daughter–in–law were splitting and dividing the estate.
“Mom, it‘s not Jessica’s fault. I fell for her first.” Hank could not stand her mother speaking ill of Jessica.His feelings for Jessica grew before hers did for him.
“Mom, Dad, think about it. I wouldn‘t be enjoying this sort of income if I were to work in anothercompany. Although I‘ll feel the pinch for giving Liberty a million bucks, I can regain the amount andmore with my job still intact.
“Liberty will petition the court for divorce if I don’t agree to her demands. She’ll get whatever shedemands anyway, but I‘ll lose my job and my reputation in the industry. It‘ll be hard for me to look foranother job. I agreed to Liberty’s terms after careful consideration.
“Don’t worry about Sonny. Sonny will still be your grandson after the divorce. Just let Liberty knowwhen you want to see him. She’s fine with visitations.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown held their tongues. Herson’s career was more important than anything else. They knew it had not been easy for their son ashe had worked his way up from a measly office staff to his current role as a manager. The side incomehe earned in a month was the annual income of many. It took a while before Mr. Brown solemnly said,“There‘s nothing more we can say since you’ve already made up your mind.”novelbin
