Chapter 67 – Nothing good ever came out of Zachary’s mouth, to be honest.
Perhaps Zachary should show his apology through his actions. “What’s the matter? Were you wrong
about your wife? What did you do to warrant an apology gift?” Josh was in the mood for gossip. “None of
your business. Get back to work.
You’re going to be speaking with Mr. Williams about the partnership tonight. I’ll be busy tonight.” Zachary
had dinner plans with his wife at his sister-in law’s. “Why are you busy? Where are you going?” “You
should know that a married man shouldn’t spend all his time on work, or else it’ll give his wife an excuse
to cheat on him.”
Josh, “…” He was speechless. At least Josh found out that the work was pushed to him so his boss
could spend some time with his wife. Zachary sure thought he was all that just because he was married.
Josh could get married too. He could then skip social engagements and overtime to go home to his wife.

There was no one in the picture even if Josh wanted to tie the knot any time soon. After taking the blow,
Josh dejectedly retreated. Under the same blue sky, different individuals were engaging in different
activities at various places.
After telling Serenity to come for dinner tonight, Liberty fed Sonny and pushed him in a stroller to get
groceries.
She took one step out the door when her husband’s call came in. “What’s the matter, Honey?” “Have you
gotten the groceries?” Hank asked through the phone. “Not yet. I’m on my way out. Do you fancy
anything for tonight?
“Get extra groceries today. My parents and sister are coming. My sister enjoys seafood, so get more of
that. Oh, my mom’s favorite is beef. Get that too.”
Liberty replied, “Seafood is expensive. Your sister always asks for salmon and oysters whenever she
comes. She could finish the whole plate. The price of beef is high now. It costs sixty bucks a pound.
I can’t even spend that kind of money for Sonny.” She did not relish in hosting her in-laws. They would
demand the best food and often criticize her in Hank’s presence.
Liberty and Hank would get into a big fight and there would be silent treatments for days after their visit.
Liberty’s sister-in-law was the worst. She loved to meddle and instigate trouble between the couple. “Just
do as you’re told. What’s with the insolence ?
You spent more than a thousand bucks on clothes last time. You’ve got to pay me back for that, so don’t
use the household account to pay for the groceries today.” Liberty’s heart sank. She was furious too. She
thought her husband only demanded to go halves to kick Serenity out.
It never occurred to Liberty that Hank meant what he said. “Hank, I might not be working, but I’m taking
care of your son at home and managing the household so you can be committed to your career. You’re
only the man you are today because of me.

push me to work? Fine. Get your parents to take care of their grandchild, so I can start looking for a job
tomorrow.
“You gave birth to the child. Why should my parents look after the kid? I mean, the child is our
responsibility as parents.
We should take care of our son. My parents had it hard raising me and my sister. It’s time for them to
relax and enjoy life. Let’s not take that away from them. “It’s not like you don’t have the money. You could
even pay for the damages to an expensive car.
Don’t lie to me that you have nothing. You could ask some from Serenity. You can return to work and
repay Serenity’s money when Sonny starts school.”
Hank insisted on dividing the expenses. las He believed he had it hard as Liberty sat and did nothing at
home.
She was only caring for a child while Hank had to pay for the living expenses and loans. Liberty had no
use for money. Want to Full list click
