The vegetables were leftovers from the previous day. Liberty had stored them in the fridge, but there was only enough for one person.
Since Liberty purchased the vegetables with her own money, she refused to share them with the Browns.
Chelsea was taken aback.
The hefty woman had saved some food for herself in advance to avoid going hungry.
Liberty carried her meal to the dinner table and savored her dinner at a leisurely pace.
Concerned that her sister might be bullied, Serenity took a moment from her busy schedule to call Liberty. “Did they team up against you, Liberty p>
“I have a history of chasing Hank down five blocks with a kitchen knife. The worst they can do is have an argument with me. A woman won’t put up with her husband and his family’s unreasonable behavior once she stops caring for her husband p>
Serenity felt relieved upon hearing this. “Have you eaten, Liberty p>
“I’m having dinner now. Have you eaten p>
“I’ll eat after finishing work. I should get back to it, Liberty p>
“Alright p>
Liberty understood that this was one of her sister’s busiest times.
After the call, Liberty continued with her dinner.
She finished her meal just as Chelsea emerged from the kitchen after washing the dishes. Since becoming a parent, Liberty had learned to eat quickly.
“Hank, I need to discuss something with you p>
Chelsea approached and sat beside her brother. She leaned in and whispered, “Liberty gave Serenity something before you got home. It was a large bag. Can you check if Liberty took anything from your house p>
“Did you buy anything good and leave it in the house? I’m guessing it’s a bag of food p>
The tension between his brows eased as he replied, “I don’t buy groceries, so it’s not my stuff p>
“I understand. That’s good. You should definitely ask for it back if Serenity took something that belongs to you. Don’t let people take advantage of you,” she advised.
“I won’t let that happen, Chelsea. What brings you and Mom to the city? Why didn’t you bring Lucas with you?” Hank inquired about the purpose of her trip.
“Lucas has the flu. It’s viral, and it took four days for his fever to go down, but he’s still coughing. Mom and Dad were worried that Sonny might catch it, so they told me not to bring Lucas along,” Chelsea explained. “Dad is taking care of him at home. I’m here to discuss what we talked about earlier. I need you to put my name on the title deed so that my two eldest can attend school in the city. You live in an area with good schools p>
“Have you thought about it thoroughly? Don’t worry. I won’t take your house from you. Although the title may be transferred to my name, you will still be living in it. I’m just trying to provide better educational opportunities for your niece and nephew. I’ll return the house to you when they apply for college elsewhere p>
Chelsea spoke softly, “Since you and your brother-in-law are busy with work, you can’t manage school runs. We’ll pick the children up to stay with us on weekends and return them on Sunday nights.
“You’re busy with work too. Have you discussed with Liberty about cooking and transporting the kids to and from school p>
“Let her know she won’t be doing it for free. I’ll pay her a thousand bucks a month. She can also help tutor my kids with their homework. Your niece has her ups and downs with her studies, and she’ll perform better with someone tutoring her. It’ll help her get into a better school p>
Chelsea might…
While she couldn’t stand her sister-in-law, she had to acknowledge that Liberty was a college graduate. Liberty was a strong candidate for tutoring elementary and secondary school students. If the Browns hadn’t had such control over Liberty, she likely would not have ended up in this situation.
