Married at First Sight Chapter 1601
Married at First Sight Chapter 1601–“Mr. York, we probably don’t have that much cash on us.”
Mr. Chandler said, “Can we do it by Apple Pay instead?”
“There’s a bank opposite here. You guys must’ve brought your bank cards, right? Just go there and withdraw some cash. Since Camryn said she wanted cash, you guys have to pay her cash.”
Under Callum’s stern eye, Edward had no choice but to have his cousin from the Joyner family withdraw twenty thousand dollars from the bank opposite.
After that, the cousins fished out all the cash from their wallets and managed to gather 22,800 dollars.
“Camryn, this is our compensation.”
Mr. Chandler handed a stack of bills to Camryn.
Camryn accepted the money and started counting it speedily.
After a moment, she said, “The amount is correct. Do you have other business? If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
Those people exchanged glances.
In the end, their gazes fell on Edward.
He was the eldest amongst them.
They treated him as their leader.
“Camryn, we’re cousins by blood. Uncle Cain and Aunt Paige are in prison. No matter what, he’s still your biological uncle. About your dad… Aunt Paige is your mother. Don’t burn all your bridges.
“You may have taken over Newman Enterprise, but you’re blind. Even if there’s Mr. Mitchell helping you, he’s still an outsider, whereas we’re cousins. We can still help you if any problems arise because we’re relatives and family. Mr. Mitchell might even be snickering behind the scenes because you’ve chased us out of Newman Enterprise.
“Camryn, we’ve been in Newman Enterprise longer than the time you took over it. We know that Mr. Mitchell usually curries favor with Uncle Cain to obtain his trust. Now that Uncle Cain is in trouble, Mr. Mitchell definitely wants to monopolize Newman Enterprise. He’s just using you.”
The Chandler and Joyner brothers came to destroy the shop to vent their anger. They also wanted to force Camryn to hire them back to Newman Enterprise.
Although Callum’s presence had forced them to compensate for Camryn’s losses, they still had to state their intentions.
“That’s right. We’re cousins. We’re relatives and family. However, you would rather trust Mr. Mitchell instead of us. He harbors evil intentions and is just using you. Think about it. You’ve never handled business at Newman Enterprise before and aren’t skilled in managing the company. Besides, you’re blind too. Mr. Mitchell can fool you however he wants.
“He might embezzle company funds and leave an empty establishment that’s saddled with debt to you to make the Newmans go bankrupt. How are you going to explain this to Trenton after he becomes an adult?”
The Joyner brothers agreed with Edward.
Trenton was not even aware that his family had undergone drastic changes yet. Camryn had kept the secret well to prevent it from affecting his examinations
After his final exam ended, she would tell her brother everything clearly If he were to hate her for it, she would accept it. On the other hand, if he could understand her, she would be thankful for her brother’s maturity.
Trenton would be able to inherit the Newman family’s assets Camryn would not take it all for herself.
However, that was between them siblings. It had nothing to do with the Joyner and Chandler brothers.
Even if Camryn and Trenton were to become enemies, it was still their issue
Camryn said coldly, “You all had gathered and caused a commotion in the company. It left a terrible impression I had no choice but to fire you all
“Since I already did it, I’m not scared of you guys pestering me. Do you think I’m unaware of everything you’ve done in Newman Enterprise? When Uncle Cain managed the company, you guys used your connection as his nephew to abuse your power and earned extra money Do you think I didn’t know that?
“If you guys want me to show evidence to handle this matter, the consequences won’t be as simple as leaving Newman Enterprise”
Camryn said with a stern voice. “You’re all aware of what happened to my uncle and mother. Do you think your relationship with me can surpass that of my mother and me”
She could even send her stepfather to jail, not to mention her cousins
After chasing the Chandlers and Joyners out of Newman Enterprise, everyone in the company was happy
It was obvious how hateful these people had been in the company
Camryn’s words had successfully shocked her cousins
They had underestimated this blind girl all along
Married at First Sight Chapter 1602
Married at First Sight Chapter 1602–She had been living silently with minimal presence. Even when she spoke occasionally, she was soft- spoken. They did not expect that the most ruthless person would be her.
She showed no mercy at all.
“As for Mr. Mitchell, I trust him fully. I only work with people I don’t doubt.”
Everybody opened their mouths to say something, but nothing came out in the end.
They knew their past actions best.
Camryn could swiftly gain control of everything in Newman Enterprise with Dalton’s help. Maybe she really had evidence of them earning a side income and embezzling funds.
“Camryn… I hope you don’t regret this in the future Uncle Abel wouldn’t be able to rest in peace if Newman Enterprise were to be passed to someone else when you’re in charge of it”
Edward left those words and said to his brothers, “Let’s go
Camryn said coldly, “Goodbye. I won’t be seeing you guys off”
The cousins left angrily.
After they were gone, Callum instructed the bodyguards and store assistants, “Place the potted plants back onto the rack.”
Those people paid Camryn over twenty grand, but they forgot to take those flowers with them.
They deserve to be scammed.
Callum said to his fiancée, “If they come and make a fuss again, give me a call. I’ll bring people over to beat them up. They’ll be good after that.”
“Mr. Callum, the two of us are enough to beat them up for them to be looking for their teeth on the ground,” said a bodyguard.
Mr. Callum was ignoring their presence.
All of the York family’s bodyguards were good at fighting.
The other bodyguard tugged his partner.
How stupid was he?
It was Mr. Callum’s chance to rescue the damsel in distress. Why did he have to butt in?
The bodyguard who was tugged only realized it then.
He quickly went to move the flowers and did not dare look at Mr. Callum’s dark face.
Camryn said, “They’re not that bold. They only came in and smashed my pots because they saw I was alone. If they had known you were here, they wouldn’t have dared push the racks.”
Camryn patted the stack of money. “Well, they bought a lesson at the price of more than twenty grand.”
Callum smiled and said, “You can continue counting the money. I’m going to cook.”
After speaking, he turned to continue preparing their dinner.
Camryn kept quiet for a moment and touched the bouquet of money flowers. She had plucked several money petals off it. She thought the flowers were too eye-catching and showy.
She would get robbed anytime if she brought the bouquet out.
Therefore, she took the petals, which were folded from dollar bills, off and folded them nicely to be returned to Callum later.
Camryn did not want his money.
She did not lack money.
Not to mention that she already had Newman Enterprise’s business in her grasp. Even if she did not, she would not starve with Spring Blossom’s business.
Usually, Dal would even give her some money.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1603
Married at First Sight Chapter 1603–Meanwhile, at York Corporation, Zachary had already stopped working.
He knew Serenity would come to pick him up from work, so he went downstairs early to wait at the building’s entrance.
When he went downstairs, it was time when people got off work too. The employees greeted him respectfully when they saw him.
Upon seeing him standing at the entrance, several senior managers thought something had happened. They stopped and asked him, “Mr. York, is something wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m waiting for Seren. You can get off work or go to your appointments. Go on.”
Everyone was speechless.
No wonder Mr. York came downstairs so early.
It turned out that Mrs. York was coming.
Seren only came after stopping by Spring Blossoms to get flowers. She got stuck in the jam as it was rush hour on her way there.
When she reached York Corporation, most employees had already left the company.
Upon driving her car into the building, the tall, handsome figure appeared within her sight.
There was still some distance between the husband and wife.
Zachary was standing alone at the entrance. He did not let bodyguards follow him, but Serenity still recognized her man at first glance.
He was eye-catching no matter where he was.
Tall, good-looking, and impressive.
Usually, Serenity would park her car in the parking lot whenever she came to York Corporation.
Now that people had gotten off work, she stopped her car in front of the building’s entrance.
A smile appeared on Zachary’s handsome face when he saw his beloved wife’s car. He walked over even before Serenity got out of the car.
Serenity remained in the car when she saw him approaching.
She unlocked the doors and let Zachary hop in.
Zachary saw a bouquet of fresh roses lying on the passenger seat. He picked it up and sat down. With a smile on his face, he said, “Is this bouquet for me?”
“If I were to say it was for another man, would you bring a team of people along to snatch it back?”
Zachary said bossily, “Of course. The roses my wife bought can only be given to me. Don’t you dare give them to another man.”
Serenity grinned and said, “I don’t have other men.”
Zachary stretched his hand to pinch her face lightly. “Having me is enough. Why did you just arrive? If you had come earlier to give me the flowers, I could’ve gotten off work with the flowers in my arms. The entire company would’ve seen it.”
“We’ve been husband and wife for so long. Why should we show off?”
Serenity started driving as she spoke.
The bodyguards saw their boss getting into Mrs. York’s car. They proceeded to get into their car and followed the couple.
“I want to show off. It’s something that’s worth showing off.”
Serenity said, “Traffic was pretty heavy, so I was late.”
“You can come earlier next time.”
“If I do that, it’ll affect your work.”
Zachary pressed his lips together. He wanted to say that her presence would not affect his work at all. On the contrary, he would be more motivated with her there.
“Have you seen Callum?” Zachary suddenly asked. “That boy snuck out early. Don’t think I’m not aware of it.”
“You used to sneak off often too. He’s your brother. So what if he sneaks out? You can be more tolerant.”
After a moment of silence, he said, “They’re all so clever to have curried favor with you. You’ll always back them up, especially Rowan. When he first met you, he kept calling you his sister-in-law. He had such a sweet mouth.”
Married at First Sight Chapter 1604
Married at First Sight Chapter 1604–Serenity smiled.
She did not think her brothers-in-law were playing up to her. She simply thought they respected her as their eldest sister-in-law a lot.
She also knew that it was because Zachary loved her.
Grandma May adored her too.
However, she would not become haughty because of the love she received.
“Callum and Camryn are still the same. I think their progress is pretty slow.”
Zachary said smugly. “They can’t compare to me I completed everything in one go.
Serenity turned to glance at him. She mocked him, “Your face was as tight as marble when we got our marriage license back then. I was afraid people would misunderstand that I forced you to register our marriage with a gun.”
Zachary was speechless.
He had to admit that he did not want to get married back then. He was hoping she would go back on her word.
However, it turned out that she was in a rush to get a marriage license.
Just like that, both of them registered their marriage.
It was primarily because he was forced by Grandma May to repay her debt in her stead.
There were many ways to repay kindness, but he did not necessarily have to marry Serenity. He felt Grandma May had chosen Serenity to be her granddaughter-in-law because Serenity had tricked her
He only found out the true reason after getting their marriage license.
Of course, Zachary felt that he was now living a happy life.
It was because he had Serenity.
“After a discussion with Elisa, we decided to expand our investment. There are many towns under the jurisdiction of the town council in my hometown. The situations of those towns are pretty much the same. All the youngsters are out working, and the people who stayed behind are all elderly and children.
“Without manpower in the house, the farms are abandoned. I’ll go and check the place out with Elisa tomorrow. We’ll sign contracts if negotiations are successful and rent more land.”
Zachary said gently, “You two can discuss it and decide. I’ll always support you. Just let me know if you need any help. Whether you require more capital or investments, I’ll give it to you.”
“I’ll borrow the money from you and return it after earning the cost back.”
“We’re husband and wife. What’s mine is yours, and what belongs to you is still yours. You don’t have to separate things so clearly between us. You’re not allowed to mention borrowing money in front of me anymore.
Serenity remembered taking over several small businesses from Zachary as practice. He placed full trust in her She was not someone who lost their conscience after seeing money either. She said, “Okay. I’ll be using your money first.”
She would return the money to him after they started gaining profit
Serenity was already helping Zachary to manage his small businesses. She could include the money she would be returning to him into the accounts and transfer it to him afterward.
It was not that she wanted to draw a clear line between them. She simply wished to be more independent as it was her first time making an investment and running a big business.
“Elisa thinks we should establish a vegetable company by purchasing an office and hiring a few professional managers. I agree with her suggestion. I’ll call Jas to tell her about it after dinner.”
It was a joint investment by the three of them.
She had to inform Jasmine about it.
Zachary hummed in agreement. “It’s true that a company should be established. It’ll be easier for other people to remember you guys during business negotiations.”
“Although Elisa has no prior business experience, she’s indeed Aunt Audrey’s daughter. She thinks way ahead of me.”
“Children born into a family of business people are more or less exposed to it.”
Zachary agreed that Elisa was more insightful about business than his beloved wife for now.
Serenity was still learning.
She would be better than Elisa after becoming a qualified wife to the head of the family in the future.
Elisa had a straightforward personality, but she did not have enough patience. It was just the start. With
her broad range of interests, she would definitely do nothing after the business got on track.
Moreover, Elisa disliked business engagements.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1605
Married at First Sight Chapter 1605–Grandma May had mentioned that even though Elisa had a similar social status to Zachary, she was not suitable to be the wife of the York family’s head.
“Let’s eat at a hotel. You still have a business engagement. We don’t have to travel a long distance back. home.”
“It’s up to you.
Serenity smiled.
Although her relationship with Zachary was not dramatic, he started respecting her and prioritizing her wishes more. Their days were ordinary yet fulfilling and sweet.
Zachary often said he still wanted to be with her in another life.
Serenity got greedy too. She also thought of marrying him and being husband and wife again in their next lifetime.
While in the Lewis family’s house, Mrs. Lewis put down her phone with a grim expression.
Although Mr. Lewis sat opposite her and was holding a newspaper, he had been paying attention to his wife’s expression.
He heard the conversation between his wife and their youngest son too.
“What happened again? You look awful. You’ve been this way a lot lately. You’re angry and in a bad mood every day. You’re starting to look older. Don’t be angry anymore. I’ll accompany you to get a facial done tomorrow to maintain your skin.”
Mrs. Lewis glared at her useless husband. She said furiously, “I’m a senior citizen. If I look old, then so be it. With such a disobedient son, it’s no wonder I’ll get older from getting angry. You only read the newspaper all the time and never thought of scolding your son.
“Duncan became this spoiled because of you!”
Her son was not listening to her. Mrs. Lewis pushed all the blame on her husband.
Mr. Lewis smiled. “Yes, yes. I was the one who spoiled him. He learned all the bad things from me and inherited all your good qualities. Duncan is my mom’s favorite grandson. It was her who spoiled him, yet you’re blaming me.
“There’s a saying that sons don’t listen to their mothers after they grow up. Your son is almost forty. Why are you still controlling him? Besides, even if you wanted to meddle in his affairs, would he let you?
“Aren’t you asking for hardships if you insist on meddling in his affairs despite him not allowing you to do it? It’s not like you haven’t experienced being a mother-in-law. You already have three daughters-in-law and many grandchildren. Why are you still so anxious?
“You can lead a horse to water, but can you make it drink? Duncan doesn’t like Lily. There’s no use in forcing or urging him.”
Mrs. Lewis said, “Lily had already explained everything to me. She won’t pursue Duncan anymore. She said Duncan had no feelings for her, and she didn’t want to waste time. When she came to Wiltspoon this time, she went to the airport immediately after her business was done. She didn’t even visit our house
“Lily’s such a nice girl. Your son is openly blind. He doesn’t like Lily but prefers a divorced woman with a child instead.”
Mrs. Lewis was mad.
However, she could not vent her anger on Liberty.
She wanted to target someone, but there was no one for her to target. The anger accumulated in her heart made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Duncan doesn’t like Lily, so I arranged a blind date for him and told him to meet the lady tonight and have a meal together. He didn’t even listen and kept himself busy. To hell with being busy. Why wasn’t he busy when he went to All You Can Eat? Does he think I’m not aware of it?”
Mrs. Lewis did not bother Liberty, but she knew her son would go to All You Can Eat every day.
Her son would always show up in places where Liberty was present very quickly.
It was not a chance meeting but a forced encounter created by the disobedient Duncan after keeping an eye on Liberty.
“He already has someone he likes. What use is there in you arranging a blind date for him? Back when he didn’t have anybody he liked, he didn’t even listen to you when you set him up with blind dates.”
Mr. Lewis advised his wife, “Our children will do fine on their own. You can stop meddling in Duncan’s matters.”
“Derek Lewis, are you happy that your son likes a divorced woman?”
Married at First Sight Chapter 1606
Married at First Sight Chapter 1606–Derek said, “I disagree too, but what can I do? That’s Duncan’s decision. He has always disobeyed us.”
“Well, do you think Liberty will let Serenity know that I talked to her?” Mrs. Lewis suddenly asked.
“Why did you go and meet Liberty? Didn’t you say Liberty isn’t interested in our son at all? The problem lies with our son.”
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lewis replied, “I know the problem doesn’t lie with Liberty, but Duncan refused to listen to us. He’s very stubborn. I had no choice but to deal with it by approaching Liberty I wanted to advise Liberty to cancel her tenancy agreement and move her breakfast place somewhere else so she can stay away from Duncan.
“In the future, if Duncan visits the Yorks, tell Liberty not to visit the Yorks to prevent the two of them from meeting each other.
“That said, it’ll be great if Liberty is willing to leave Wiltspoon and live in a place that Duncan is unaware of I’m ready to pay her a hefty sum as long as she doesn’t meet Duncan.”
Mrs. Lewis had long since wanted to do such things.
However, Liberty had the Stones and the Yorks backing her.
Considering the strong sisterhood between Liberty and Serenity, Serenity would meddle in the matter.
Once Serenity did, the Yorks would have a hand in it since Zachary pampered his wife.
Until today, Mrs. Lewis could not figure out why Old Mrs. York allowed Zachary to marry Serenity.
Also, Old Mrs. York was said to be the one arranging for Callum and Camryn to be together.
This old lady’s taste was indeed unique.
Her grandsons were all outstanding. Even so, look at the kinds of candidates she picked for her grandsons. Other people might suspect that Old Mrs. York was not the biological grandmother of Zachary and his brothers.
When it came to marriage, all couples with wealthy backgrounds were well-matched.
“Are you trying to ruin our relationship with the Yorks?”
Derek glowered at his wife.
Mrs. Lewis said, “Tell me what to do, then. Frankly speaking, I won’t approve of Liberty and Duncan’s marriage unless I’m dead.”
“It’s too early to say that. Let’s see if your son succeeds in pursuing Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis responded, “It’s a wise decision to force them apart before Liberty falls in love with Duncan. Duncan is in an unrequited relationship. He can certainly get over Liberty as long as she leaves Wiltspoon. and never meets him again.
“It’s better for him to stay single than marry a divorced woman.”
Derek asked his wife, “Do you look down on Liberty because she has been divorced or because she comes from a humble background?
“Both Her parents have passed away, and her relatives are awful. I’ve seen them all. The Yorks are good- tempered, so they’re not offended by those awful relatives. But I have a short temper,” Mrs. Lewis answered disdainfully.
“In our circle, there are many rich young ladies for Duncan to pick, yet he doesn’t want any of them. He only likes Liberty.
“He might be rough and burly, but he’s merciful. Given that his love for Liberty is extended to her family as well, he might side with Liberty’s awful relatives. They’re like parasites. Once they stick to you, you can never get rid of them. Take Zachary, he did a great job. Those parasites have no chance to depend on him.”
As soon as Mrs. Lewis finished speaking, she suddenly lifted her phone. She leaped to her feet and said, ” No way. We can’t sit down and watch their relationship develop. I’m going to meet Liberty and talk to her now. I’m just planning to talk to her. I won’t throw my weight around or force her to leave Wiltspoon.”
She just wanted to have a talk with Liberty.
Derek promptly called out his wife to stop her. “You want to disturb her at this hour, huh?”
“What’s wrong? The sky isn’t completely dark yet. It’s only at this time that Liberty is free. Mrs. Lewis insisted on having a talk with Liberty despite being stopped by her husband.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1607
Married at First Sight Chapter 1607–Worried that his wife would screw things up, Derek had no choice but to meet Liberty with his wife since he could not stop her.
In order to continue talking his wife out of meeting Liberty, Derek asked his chauffeur to drive.
The couple was seated in the back. Along the journey, Derek kept advising his wife.
He said, “If Duncan finds out that you go and meet Liberty, he’ll surely have a row with you. This will affect your relationship with him.
“If Serenity finds out, it means Zachary will too. You know full well how much he protects and pampers his wife. Liberty is his sister-in-law. Forcing Liberty to leave Wiltspoon will stir up a hornet’s nest and greatly damage the relationship between the Lewises and the Yorks.”
Mrs. Lewis tilted her head and glared at her husband before she said, “I’m just going to have a talk with Liberty. I’m not forcing her to leave Wiltspoon either. Why are you nagging at me non-stop? You’re annoying.
“The Lewises and the Yorks are family friends. So what if the Yorks find out that I meet Liberty? I’m not going to beat or scold her. All I’m going to do is have a talk with her. The Yorks might be able to accept a daughter-in-law with a humble background and both parents dead, but I can’t.
“Not everyone can act like the Yorks. I believe most women from the upper class in Wiltspoon hope their daughters-in-law are well-matched to their sons.
“Couples have always been equally matched since ancient times. I’m not against Liberty in particular. However, it’ll be hard for a marriage to last long if a couple isn’t well-matched. I’m doing this for their own good so as to avoid things from looking bad when they end up in divorce in the future.”
Derek was speechless.
He knew that what his wife said made sense.
“It’s okay to have a talk with Liberty, but don’t talk to her in a domineering tone and aggrieve her.”
Mrs. Lewis said huffily, “With the Stones and the Yorks backing her, how would I have the audacity to be domineering and cause her grievance? I’m the one feeling aggrieved instead. Despite being your wife, I need to lower myself to beg Liberty to stay away from our son.”
Derek was not in a position to respond to that.
Liberty was unaware that Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were coming to meet her. After Liberty had dinner with Sonny, Sonny wanted to shop around, and she agreed.
Just for convenience, she took her son out by riding an e-bike.
In fact, Sonny wanted to shop at a mall. The mall had a few floors. Located on the third floor was a playground for kids. A lot of kids enjoyed playing there.
Liberty had taken Sonny there twice, and he took a liking to it.
After arriving at the supermarket, Liberty and Sonny ran into Hank and Jessica.
As Jessica was pregnant, she was released on bail to take care of her baby after Hank and the lawyer applied for it.
“Dad.”
Sonny was always happy whenever he saw Hank.
That was exactly why the father and the son had a close relationship. As a result, Serenity and her husband could not be ruthless to the Browns as they often had to think for Sonny.
“Sonny?”
Hank did not expect to meet his ex-wife and son here.
When Sonny ran toward him merrily, Hank glanced at Jessica before he walked forward and carried his son with a smile.
Initially, Jessica was wearing a smile. At the sight of the close interaction between the father and son, her smile disappeared.
She was currently pregnant with Hank’s child whom she had always been eager to have.
Unfortunately, the child came late. If the child had come earlier, she definitely would not have agreed to be involved in the wrongful act that ruined her life as well as her child’s. She would have done good deeds for her child’s sake.
Even though Jessica was out of jail for now, she would need to serve her sentence after she gave birth to her baby.
For a long period of time, she would be unable to watch her child grow.
The child would lack motherly love.
Besides, the fact that she committed a crime would have a huge impact on the child.
Jessica deeply regretted it.
It was no use lamenting it now. Back then, she did not reject Hank outright. She had set her mind on becoming Hank’s wife to live in the lap of luxury. Little did she know that it was the start of tragedy.
She might as well have married an ordinary man. At least, she would be able to lead a plain yet happy life.
Liberty did not walk toward Hank and Sonny. Standing from a distance, she silently took a glimpse of the two of them before turning her eyes to Jessica.
Jessica walked up to Hank shortly.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1608
Married at First Sight Chapter 1608–After moving closer, Liberty got a better sight of Jessica.
Jessica had thinned down a lot. She had a dull complexion and was dressed in loose clothes. Only those who were sharp-eyed could tell that she was pregnant.
“Let’s go, Hank,” Jessica said to her husband.
Currently, she disliked seeing Hank being close to Sonny. She was afraid that if they got very close, Hank would not take care of her child wholeheartedly.
Regardless of whether she gave birth to a son or daughter, the Browns would surely be biased toward Sonny
Jessica had to continue serving her sentence in the future, so she would not be able to watch her child grow. If her child turned out to be a girl who failed to please the family, who would know how much the child would suffer when Jessica was not by her side?
Therefore, Hank was the child’s support.
Sonny was a lot more fortunate than Jessica’s child.
With so many people loving and supporting Sonny, there was no need to worry that he would suffer.
“Sonny, what are you planning to buy with Mom?” Hank asked his son.
Sonny answered, “I’m going to play with Mom. Dad, what do you want to buy?”
After stealing a glance at Jessica, he fell quiet for a moment. Then, he said politely, “Hi, Jess.”
Jessica forced a smile.
“I’ve just arrived, so I haven’t bought anything. What-do you want, Sonny? I’ll get it for you.”
Due to Jessica’s situation and interference from Liberty’s grandparents, it had been ages since Hank met his ex-wife, much less his son.
Given that he finally met his son, he felt the need to buy him something.
The grim smile on Jessica’s face was no longer visible.
However, she did not utter a word.
At that moment, Liberty walked over.
The moment Jessica caught sight of Liberty, her lips twitched. Even so, she remained silent.
She was supposed to apologize to Liberty.
She was an indirect cause of Liberty’s narrow escape from death.
“Liberty,” Hank called out.
After not seeing her for a long time, he suddenly felt that his ex-wife had turned into a different person. She had become younger, prettier, and more confident.
That was how she was before marriage.
“Both of you can shop around. I’ll take Sonny to the indoor playground on the third floor for a while.”
Liberty carried her son out of her ex-husband’s arms.
After speaking indifferently, she said to Sonny, “Sonny, let’s go.”
“Okay. Bye, Dad.”
Sonny waved at Hank and bade him goodbye.
“Liberty, Sonny.”
All of a sudden, Duncan’s voice rang out.
Soon, he strode toward them.
The minute Hank saw Duncan, his expression turned grave.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1609
Married at First Sight Chapter 1609–“Dunc.”
Sonny’s mannerism toward Duncan and his father, Hank, was the same.
Once Sonny saw Duncan, he shook off Liberty’s hand and scurried toward Duncan.
Hank’s expression became graver.
His parents and elder sister had always nagged him, telling him that Liberty had a pursuer. If he was not going to divorce Jessica and go after Liberty again, Sonny’s father would be someone else.
Duncan would most likely become Sonny’s new father.
Hank knew full well that Liberty would not accept him anymore. As for Jessica, he still had feelings for her. He also felt sorry for her.
He hurt two women because of his unfaithfulness.
Liberty was already divorced from Hank and had started her life anew. She was leading a wonderful life. He did not want to hurt Jessica again, especially by divorcing her when she was in jail. If he did that, she would be homeless after she was released.
Ever since Jessica was arrested, her brother and sister-in-law had established boundaries with her.
Although her parents took pity on her, they could not do anything about it. They were already old and reliant on their son and daughter-in-law to look after them.
Hank was well aware that Jessica would be left homeless if he divorced her.
Chelsea told her younger brother off for being heartless toward Liberty yet loving toward Jessica.
“Sonny.”
Duncan smiled while walking toward Sonny to carry him. After that, he lifted Sonny and turned around, making Sonny burst into laughter.
Seeing their joyful and close interaction, the passers-by were under the impression that the two of them were father and son.
After Duncan stopped lifting Sonny and spinning him, he asked Sonny with a grin, “Are you happy?”
“Yeah.”
Sonny laughed so much that his face reddened.
Duncan loved his flushed face. Sonny looked so cute that Duncan could not help but kiss him on the cheek.
Unexpectedly, Sonny kissed Duncan back.
Duncan grinned from ear to ear.
He was overjoyed at Sonny’s response.
He decided not to wash his face tonight.
Duncan carried Sonny and walked up to Liberty. He fixed his profound gaze on Liberty and said gently,” Liberty, since you’re shopping with Sonny, you probably need someone to carry things for you. I’m very strong, and I can help you carry.”
“Mr. Lewis, why are you here?”
Liberty’s attitude toward Duncan did not change.
She would not change her attitude just because Duncan was going after her fervently.
“I-I happened to pass by.”
Duncan would not admit that he had gone to Liberty’s place. Coincidentally, he saw Liberty taking Sonny out with the bike, so he tailed them.
Then, he pretended to run into them.
Liberty would not buy that.
He must have come over on purpose.
However, Liberty did not expose him. She said, “Sonny wanted to go to the third floor, so I took him here to play for a while. We’re not buying anything, so we won’t need anyone to carry things for us. Mr. Lewis, I’m sure you have other things to handle. You may carry on with your work. Sonny, let’s go.”
She went out and ended up meeting her ex-husband as well as her courter.
Liberty felt that it was really a small world.
“Dunc, do you want to play with us?”
Liberty wanted to get rid of Duncan very badly, yet her beloved son invited him along.
Duncan answered eagerly, “Sure. I’ve gotten off work. I have plenty of free time now, so I can play with you.”
While speaking, he carried Sonny and said to Liberty, “Liberty, let’s go.”
As for Hank and Jessica, Duncan turned a blind eye to them. He was not bothered to look at them at all.
He knew that Hank was glaring at him ferociously.
The situation exasperated Hank.
Hank had only himself to blame for hurting Liberty. Because of him, Liberty stopped looking forward to love and marriage, and he had not made any progress in his plan to win her heart again.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1610
Married at First Sight Chapter 1610–“Sonny.
“Sonny.”
Something seemed to be wrong with Hank. He kept shouting his son’s name as he strode toward his son.
“Sonny, I’ll play with you.
Hank hurriedly caught up with Duncan and blocked him.
He stretched out his hand to snatch Sonny over.
Sonny was Hank’s son!
He shared the same surname as Hank, namely Brown!
He had nothing to do with Duncan at all. There was no need for Duncan to play with Sonny.
Sonny’s biological father was here!
“Sonny, let Dad play with you, okay?”
As Hank asked Sonny, his eyes were fixed on Duncan. He purposely stressed the word “Dad”.
Hank would forever be Sonny’s father!
If Duncan wanted to be Sonny’s father, he could dream on!
Hank failed to stop Duncan from going after his ex-wife. After all, he was still married to Jessica. What was more, Jessica was pregnant with his child, which meant he could not divorce her at this point.
If Liberty wanted to remarry, she had the freedom to do so.
Besides feeling annoyed, there was really nothing Hank could do.
Sonny was Hank’s son. When Duncan approached Sonny, Hank stopped Duncan in spite of himself to avoid Duncan and Sonny from behaving like father and son.
“Dad, are you not going to accompany Jess to buy something?”
Sonny pointed at Jessica.
Jessica pulled a long face.
Sonny thought that Jess must be mad if his father chose to play with him.
After listening to Liberty’s explanation, Sonny came to understand that his father would live with Jess in the future.
Hank turned around and glanced at Jessica before he said to Sonny, “No. I’ll play with you first. When you don’t feel like playing anymore, I’ll accompany Jess to buy things. I can buy whatever you want.
“Sonny, you have a father. Regardless of your dad and mom’s relationship, I’ll forever be your biological
“I love you. Don’t be fooled by other people. Don’t simply address someone else as ‘Dad’, okay? Some people have bad intentions. They take advantage of you to achieve their goals.”
Overly jealous, Hank reminded his son in front of Duncan and Liberty.
“Hank.”
Liberty asked, “Why are you saying these things to Sonny?”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
Hank shot a look at Duncan.
Then, he said to Liberty, “Liberty, although we have an unhappy past, you’re still Sonny’s mom. I hope you live well. Let me remind you not to get deceived by other people.”
“Thank you for your reminder. I’m clear-headed.”
Liberty’s voice was cold.
She was not in love with Duncan, but she believed that he was trustworthy.
“Hank…”
Jessica suddenly wrapped her hands around her stomach. With a sour look, she shouted to Hank, “Hank, my stomach isn’t feeling well. I’m not sure if this is a symptom of a miscarriage.”
Upon hearing that, Hank immediately put Sonny down.
He turned around and ran back to Jessica. He held Jessica and asked anxiously, “You were fine just now. Why are you suddenly feeling unwell? The fetus should be safe since you’ve been pregnant for over three months.”
“It’s probably because I’ve been standing for too long. I just find my tummy uncomfortable.”
Jessica asked, “Hank, let’s go home first, alright?”
Hank held her. “Alright. We’ll go home first. I’ll help you get the things you want another day.” While he was speaking, Jessica headed toward his car.
