Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 319
The vegetables were leftovers from yesterday. Liberty kept them in the fridge, but the vegetables were only enough for one
person.
Since Liberty bought the vegetables with her
money, she was not going to share them with the
Browns.
Chelsea was stunned.
The fat cow left herself some food beforehand so she would not go hungry.
Liberty carried the food out and sat down at the dinner table. She leisurely enjoyed her dinner.
Worried that her sister might be picked on, Serenity found the time out of her busy schedule to call Liberty. “Did they gang up on
you, Liberty?”
“I have a history of chasing Hank down five blocks with a kitchen knife. The worst they can do is get into a tiff with me. A woman
won’t tolerate her
husband and his family’s unreasonable behavior when she stops caring for her husband.”
Serenity was relieved to hear that. “Have you eaten,
Chapte
Liberty?”
“I’m having dinner now. Have you?”
“I’ll eat after I’m done with work. I should get back to it, Liberty.”
“Alright.”
Liberty knew that this was one of her sister’s busiest hours.

After the phone call, Liberty carried on with her dinner.
Liberty finished her meal by the time Chelsea came out of the kitchen after doing the dishes. Since having a child, Liberty
became a fast eater.
“Hank, I need to talk to you about something.”
Chelsea went over and sat next to her brother. She whispered, “Liberty gave something to Serenity before you came home. It
was a big bag. Can you check if Liberty took something from your house?
“Did you buy anything good and keep it in the house? I’m guessing it’s a bag of food.”
Hank frowned, not liking the idea that Liberty gave Serenity something from the house. Hearing that it was food, Hank eased the
tension between his
brows. He replied, “I don’t buy groceries, so it’s not my stuff.”
“I see. That’s good. You must ask back for it if Serenity took something that’s yours. Don’t let people take advantage of you.”
“I won’t let that happen, Chelsea. What brings you and Mom to the city? Why didn’t you bring Lucas along?” Hank asked his
sister the purpose of her trip.
“Lucas has got the flu. It’s viral flu. It took four days before the fever went down, but he’s still coughing. Mom and Dad were
worried Sonny might catch it, so they told me not to bring Lucas here.”
Chelsea added, “Dad is taking care of Lucas at home. I’m here to ask you about the thing we discussed before. I need you to put
my name on the title deed so my eldest two can have their education in the city. You live in a catchment area with good
schools.
“Have you given much thought to it? Don’t worry. I won’t take your house from you. The house may be transferred to my name,
but you’ll still be living in it. I’m just trying to provide better education to your niece and nephew. I’ll return the house to you
when they apply for college elsewhere.”
Chelsea spoke in a hushed tone, “Since you and your brother–in–law have to work, you guys can’t do school runs. We’ll pick the
children up to stay at home on the weekends and send them back here on Sunday nights.

“You’re busy with work. Have you talked to Liberty about cooking and sending the children to and fro school?
“Tell her that she’s not doing it for nothing. I’ll give her a thousand bucks a month. She can tutor my kids with their homework too.
Your niece has good days and bad days with her academic performance. She’ll do better in her schoolwork if there’s someone
tutoring her. It’ll help her get into a better school.”
Chelsea might not be able to stand her sister–in law, but she had to admit that Liberty was a college graduate. Liberty was a
good candidate to tutor elementary and secondary school students.
If the Browns did not have Liberty under their thumbs, the latter probably would not have ended up this way.
