“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.

girlfriend. 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

“You’re determined to go Dutch with me when I can’t go to work. Are you trying to drive me up the wall
or 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.
