Female Novel

Chapter 979
Liberty married into the Browns without asking for anything.
The wedding gift, be it material items or money, should be given according to the current going rate and
local traditions. Nevertheless, Jessica’s parents demanded a lot to give to her brothers and left Jessicanovelbin
nothing to start her own family with.
Jessica was not going to say yes to that.
Now that Hank put her in control of the purse strings, Jessica was paying for everything their house
needed. She felt the pinch every time she footed the bill.
The responsibility fell on her to manage the household finances and everything was not cheap.
As the head of the household, she started to get on top of their financial situation. Besides, she and
Hank were still out of employment.
They were eating away what little savings they had, so they had to be budget conscious.
Jessica was relieved she only contributed one–third of her past salary to her family. She spent another
one–third and saved the remainder in the bank. At least, she had some savings of her own.
It was all about self–love. She had to love herself before she could love someone else.
Jessica hopped out of the car, shut the door, and locked the car.
She was driving Hank’s car.
Hank bought himself another vehicle. Of course, the car cost more than a hundred thousand dollars.
Hank talked about becoming an uber driver if he was still jobless after the wedding. In short, he would
still provide for his wife.
Jessica believed Hank’s feelings for her were genuine. At least, he treated her much better than he did
Liberty.
Drawing a few deep breaths, Jessica unlocked the car and retrieved her Louis Vuitton bag. Hank gave
her the bag when they were dating. Hank said he had never bought anything expensive for Liberty, but
Jessica deserved only the best.
Jessica agreed to be his side chick because Hank was generous, young, and handsome.
Clinging to her Louis Vuitton bag, Jessica took strides to All You Can Eat with her chin held high like a
victor.
Before she even came close to the diner, a car approached and pulled up in front of the diner. Jessica
recognized the car.
It belonged to her ridiculous sister-in-law, Chelsea.
Stopping in her tracks, Jessica decided against going in there for now.
She wanted to see the reason Chelsea and her mother-in–law came to look for Liberty.
Liberty and Grandma May were discussing having a party for the diner’s opening next week. Grandma
May suggested having a party at the Wiltspoon Hotel since the Yorks owned the hotel. They could offer
Liberty the best price, and better yet, for free.
“Grandma May, business is business. I want to have a party for the opening of my restaurant. You can’t
let me have the party for free, but a discount is always welcome. Maybe I should just cook.”
She was operating a breakfast place, so she would be busy in the morning. She could close the
restaurant by the time afternoon rolled around.
Liberty had time to get groceries and cook.
“You’ll overwork yourself. Why don’t you reserve two tables at the hotel? I’ll tell Kevin to give you the
best price.”
“Thank you, Grandma May.”
This time, Liberty graciously took up on Grandma May’s offer.
It would be hard for two families to come together if one party was overly cordial.
“Grandma.”
Sonny was playing by himself in a corner when his grandmother and aunt entered the restaurant. He
said hello to Mrs. Brown.
“Sonny.”
Mrs. Brown looked at Sonny as if he was a money tree.
She never really took the time to spend time with Sonny before. Now that they were apart, all Mrs.
Brown thought about was her only grandson.
