NovelOnlineChapter 331
“Just give my sister a hand and manage her children‘s daily meals as well as their to and fro school
run. You‘re cooking regardless if they‘re eating here anyway, so cooking for two more kids won‘t make
much of a difference. They‘re still children, so they don‘t eat that much either.
“Think of it as doing me a favor. We‘ve been married for so many years. You‘re willing to help me,
right?”
Hank‘s voice was gentle, and he looked at Liberty when he spoke. He even tried to appeal to her
emotions.
“My sister won‘t make you work for nothing. She‘ll give you a thousand bucks every month, and as I
mentioned last time, I‘d give you another fifteen hundred for living expenses. Including the thousand
bucks my sister is giving you, you‘ll have twenty–five hundred a month. That‘s pretty decent.”
Liberty wanted to laugh.
She was angered to the point where she could only laugh at Hank and his sister‘s thoughts. One

them, on top of tutoring them? “Hank Brown, do you think a thousand dollars is a lot?”
“It doesn‘t cost you any money to live and eat here. My sister is giving you a thousand for nothing, so
you can keep all that for yourself as savings. Isn‘t that a lot? If you think it‘s not enough, I‘ll give you an
additional thousand.”
Liberty interrupted him and said, “Did I not make myself clear last time? I told you, I won‘t be
responsible for children who do not belong to me. Besides, I have something to tell you too. I also
found a job and will be starting tomorrow.
“I asked Serenity to help me take care of Sonny. I have to ask my sister to help me with my own son.
How would I have the time and leisure to take care of other people‘s children?”
Hank‘s expression darkened upon hearing that. “What do you mean you‘re going to work? How old is
Sonny? He still can‘t live without his mother. Do I not give you enough food or clothes? Why are you
going to work?”
“I‘m free to work if I want to, and my sister can help me take care of Sonny. Yes, you don‘t give me
enough food and clothes. I‘ve had it with you, Hank! Do you really think I can‘t earn enough money to
support myself?
“You and your family think all I can do is eat and can‘t make money, right? Your mother and sister even
scolded me, saying I‘m useless even after studying so much. They said I‘m useless unless I can earn
money! If not for Sonny, do you think I‘d let you guys step on me and oppress me?
“I was really stupid, Hank. I was stupid to believe that you would support me. Heh. Look at my hair. It‘s
still dark and shiny. I don‘t have a single white hair. I‘m still young. You haven‘t supported me for life
yet, but you wanted to go Dutch with me after just three years.
“You know well enough that I used my savings to renovate this house. You know I‘m raising the child at
home with no source of income, but you still want to go Dutch with me. Weren‘t you just trying to force
me to go to work? In that case, I‘ll grant your wish and start working!
“I will never believe anything you say anymore for the rest of my life!”
Hank‘s expression was dark as he said, “You were the one who forced my hand. You spend money
without any restraint….”
“What are you talking about? What did I buy with your money? All my skincare products were bought
for me by Serenity, and all my jewelry and bags were bought by myself before I got married. When was

a family to leave a good impression on Zachary last time. I only spent a thousand or so dollars, but
your family keeps harping about it even now. They say I‘m spending money indiscriminately and ruining
the family.
“After the marriage, all of the money I‘ve spent on was for this small home, you, and Sonny. I scrimp
when it comes to myself, but I‘m generous when it‘s for you and your son. But now you‘re telling me I
spend money without restraint and that has forced you to go Dutch with me to control my spending
habits? “Hank Brown, are you blind or is your heart black? Doesn‘t
it go against your conscience to say such stuff? Was your conscience eaten by a dog?” Hank was
struck speechless by Liberty‘s questions. After a long pause, he said, “Liberty, I‘ll stop going Dutch with
you. Don‘t go to work and take care of Sonny first. You can return to work when he starts preschool.”
“I think that it‘s fine to continue going Dutch. There‘s no need to stop it. We can just go on like this. You
don‘t have to say anything else either. Even if you give me ten thousand a month for living expenses
now, I‘m still going to work.”
She wanted to get a job and make herself financially independent for the purpose of getting custody of
her son after the divorce.
Never again would she listen to his drivel.
