As she enjoyed her pasta, Serenity sent a text to her sister, inquiring if she was asleep.
Rather than reply in writing, Liberty promptly called Serenity. Since typing took too long, Liberty preferred direct communication over the phone.
“Seren, I’m awake. Did you just get home p>
Liberty was well aware of her sister’s routine.
When Serenity lived with Liberty, she was always the last to go to bed but the first to rise.
Liberty knew that to appease her husband, Serenity would wake up early to prepare breakfast and handle some household chores.
Her sister had contributed so much to the family, yet Hank complained about Serenity supposedly being a burden. In reality, Serenity had contributed to the household expenses…
Looking at the cold, empty side of the bed, Liberty realized it didn’t matter anymore.
All she cared about was her sister.
“Yeah, I’m having supper. Liberty, Shawn said he saw my brother-in-law with a beautiful woman at a business event at the Wiltspoon Hotel. Shawn mentioned he was very kind to her, and they looked like a loving couple.
“Although Shawn has never met my brother-in-law, he recognized the name. He recalled that he heard it before. Since Shawn mentioned that the man is a manager at Waltham Electronics, I suspect it was likely Hank. Be cautious and keep an eye on Hank. Don’t let him transfer any assets. Most importantly, protect yourself p>
There have been too many spousal murder cases lately. Serenity’s main concern was to ensure her sister’s safety.
There was no reason to keep an unfaithful man around, but losing her life for a cheating jerk was not worth it.
As she listened to everything her sister conveyed, Liberty struggled to find her words.
on her expenses but found herself feeling increasingly dependent on Hank. As her focus shifted entirely to their newborn, she neglected her own needs and desires.
Liberty had prepared herself for this day, suspecting that Hank might be having an affair. He was a charming man in his early thirties with a successful career, surrounded by many young women in his office. Given that Hank came home to Liberty, who was still adjusting to her postpartum body, it seemed likely he would choose the younger, attractive women over her. This was, unfortunately, a common tendency among men.
Liberty had steeled herself for the possibility of separating from Hank. However, her sister’s revelation about Hank’s potential infidelity hit her like a slap in the face, leaving her reeling with disappointment and despair. Tears streamed down her cheeks before she could gather her thoughts.
Liberty and Hank had been college sweethearts, maintaining a strong relationship after graduation. They had known each other for twelve years, dated for seven, and been married for three. She had envisioned a happy-ever-after, but the harsh truth shattered that dream.
After her parents passed away unexpectedly, Liberty faced life’s challenges alongside her sister. During that difficult time, Hank was a source of support for both of them, always offering comfort, encouragement, and help when they needed it most. He showered Liberty with attention during the early stages of their relationship.
In the beginning of their marriage, Hank had been nothing but kind to her. However, both Hank and Liberty shared the blame for his falling out of love. After the birth of their son, Liberty devoted all her energy to parenting and focused on nutritious foods for nursing. She had always struggled with maintaining her weight if she didn’t monitor her diet.
During the nursing period, Liberty noticed an increase in her waistline. Trusting Hank’s reassurances that he would take care of her, she decided to quit her job. Without an income, Liberty began to cut back on expenses but felt increasingly reliant on Hank.
She was unwilling to invest in herself and had transformed from the woman she was prior to marriage. She understood that a truly devoted man would remain faithful to his wife, regardless of any changes in her weight. However, many men struggled to accept their wives when they neglected themselves and became financially dependent. In the end, Hank’s feelings for Liberty were not very profound. “Are you okay, Liberty p>
