Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Hank gave Liberty the stank eye and questioned, Didn’t I wire you five hundred bucks?”

Chelsea immediately got up and took quick paces over to get a word in after her brother. “Liberty, did you take Hank’s money? You told me that Hank only gave you three hundred bucks, so you can’t afford the bigger shrimps and crabs.”

Without lifting her chin, Liberty carried on feeding her son while reminding Hank in a flat tone, “I told you that you should be paying for the groceries and cooking for your mother and sister. You’d have to pay me two hundred bucks for the labor cost if you want me to do it.

“I don’t owe you anything. Yet, I have to cook for you and receive nothing but criticisms and lectures in return.”

Liberty had to endure the thankless tasks in the

past.

Hank was speechless.

By the looks of Hank, Chelsea knew that Liberty

was telling the truth. She shamefully returned to her seat on the sofa.

Still, she could not bite her tongue and reproached Liberty, “You and Hank are husband and wife. How can you keep count and separate the tasks? Besides, my mom and I are your in-laws. You married into our family, so you’re part of the family too. Why are you charging Hank to cook for your family?

“Hank might as well take us out to eat. At least, we get better food.”

Liberty raised her chin to glance at her husband and sister-in-law before focusing back on feeding her son. “That’s what going halves is about. We handle our own stuff, so nobody owes anyone

anything.”

The Browns were speechless.

They wanted Hank to propose going halves in expenses and not in household affairs.

However, Liberty seemed to take it one step too far. They had nothing to say as Hank brought up the whole idea in the first place.

“Of course, you could ask Hank to take you to have meals at some hotel when you come next time if

you don’t want to pay me for the labor cost. Saves me the trouble.”

Waiting on this disgusting family was the last thing Liberty wanted to do.

Hank scowled at his wife for a while before

Seeing that things were getting heated, Mrs. Brown quickly smoothed things over.

Hank took a few breaths to calm himself down before returning to the kitchen to place the roasted potatoes onto three plates. He then put the baking tray in the sink and turned on the tap to soak the tray before bringing out the plates of roasted potatoes.

“It’s time to eat, Liberty.”

Mrs. Brown called Liberty out of courtesy while Chelsea and Hank took their seats at the dinner

table.

“Go ahead with dinner. I’ll eat after I’m done feeding Sonny,” Liberty replied.

This was her day-to-day routine.

Ever since she had Sonny, the Browns would have their fill while she could only eat after feeding the

child.

Serenity would leave Liberty some food when the former was still living here. Otherwise, there would not be any leftovers for Liberty by the time she was done feeding her son.
