Chapter 1046

It was after Zachary had lost weight and started having gastric problems again that Serenity felt pity forhim and that was how their relationship got better. Thus, his deception and concealment of his identityhad come and gone with the wind.novelbin

Serenity came out of the bedroom with a jacket on and she had helped grab one for Zachary too.

“It’s really windy tonight and the spring chill is still lingering. You should put on a jacket before we goout.”

Serenity walked over and thoughtfully helped Zachary put on his jacket. His face was full of smiles.

Grandma May looked away, unwilling to look at her silly grandson.

The couple left for their walk, hand in hand.

Meanwhile at the Browns’ rented house, Mrs. Brown came to the door.

She was anticipating greeting her son when she heard the door open. Once she saw that it was reallyHank, she asked in concern, “How was it? Was it open? Where did Liberty bring Sonny? Did she hidewith Sonny somewhere else because we kept disturbing her?”

Mrs. Brown was hoping that her son would separate from the Yates woman and remarry Liberty, butshe knew deep down that was a slim chance. So, Sonny had become the one thing she was mostafraid of losing.

If Liberty went into hiding with Sonny, where would they go to look for them?

Hank first asked quietly, “Mom, is Jessica home?”

“She’s gone out to buy some takeout. I asked her to cook, but she said there were too few ingredientsin the fridge and decided to pack some food home. She can’t make concessions at all. Now that thetwo of you are unemployed and your sources of income are gone, she still doesn’t know how to cutback on spending.”

Mrs. Brown was extremely displeased with her new daughter-in-law.

Hank breathed a sigh of relief and after entering the house, he first went to take a look at the kitchen.Other than vegetables, there were only three eggs left in the fridge. Indeed, the ingredients left in thefridge were too few.

“Mom, you and Dad do nothing at home all day but you don’t even help by doing groceries at themarket. Even I can’t stand eating just vegetables and eggs every day, let alone Jessica.”

As long as it was his parents doing the cooking, the food would only consist of a plate of plain lettuceand three boiled eggs.

Yes, just three boiled eggs-one for him and one for his parents each. Jessica had no share of it.

Jessica could tolerate it once or twice, but after many times of this happening, Jessica could no longerendure it.

“We’re just helping you save money.”

Mrs. Brown answered as if it was a matter of course. “You guys still have to renovate the house andholding a wedding needs money too. Why don’t you discuss it with the Yates woman and call off thewedding? You guys have already registered your marriage anyway and the wedding gift has beengiven to her parents.

“We’re all one family now anyway, so why hold a wedding? It’s a waste of money and it’s your secondmarriage. There’s no real need to have another wedding.”

Hank came out of the kitchen and uncompromisingly said, “I promised Jessica to hold a grand weddingfor her. I can’t disappoint her. This is my second marriage, but it is her first. Women mostly only wearthe wedding dress once in their whole life.”

He had no way of resolving his mother’s resentment for Jessica, but he would not yield on the thingshe had decided to stand firm on.

He still had some money left.

The money he provided Jessica with for the renovations and for holding the reception only made uphalf of his savings.

After having lost his job as punishment by Zachary, who knew when he would be able to find a jobnext?

How could he dare spend all his money? He mentioned to Jessica that the marital home neededrenovations and that they should furnish it simply because they only had that bit of money. If Jessicawanted to furnish it with classier stuff, she would have to fork out the money herself.

“If you had been as thoughtful toward Liberty back then, my grandson wouldn’t have left my side either.Hurry up and tell me-did Liberty hide away with Sonny?”

Hank walked to the sofa to sit down, asking, “Where’s Dad?”

“He’s playing chess at the opposite neighbor’s. He’s having a good time-he doesn’t seem to be worriedabout anything.”

“Liberty did not hide away with Sonny. Maybe she closed the shop because they had something urgentcame up. I brought Sonny to the park to play for a while. Sonny’s very happy.”

“That’s good then.”

Mrs. Brown sighed in relief.

Then, she continued, “You need to spend more time with Sonny to nurture your relationship with him.Or else, you’ll feel frustrated when he calls someone else ‘dad’.”
