Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 517
Hank was waiting outside, but he kept staring at the two women in the café for
fear that Liberty would suddenly go mad and beat up Jessica.
He was relieved when he saw Jessica coming out and hurried over to meet her.
“Jessica, she didn’t do anything to you, did she?”
Jessica touched her face and said, “Just the slap from earlier. After you left, she didn’t touch me again.”
Hank was slapped by Liberty too.
He was distressed as he said, “Jessica, I won’t let her touch you ever again.”
He then asked, “What did she say to you?”

he must stay with us.

“Don’t worry. I’ll send Sonny back to my hometown so my parents will take care of him. My parents have also agreed to it, so he
won’t affect us. We can still have our privacy.”
Jessica was silent for a while before she said, “Do you think I can’t bear a child? I’ll have my own child one day, so I’ll definitely be

“Your parents can help you take care of Sonny now, but they’re getting older, so how many years can they care for Sonny? In the
us.”
Hank said nothing.
“Hank, let’s not fight for Sonny’s custody, okay? I really don’t want to be a stepmother as soon as I marry you. If you give up on So

“Liberty said that if you give up on Sonny’s custody, she won’t ask for your help when
Sonny goes to college or gets married. She’ll bear all of those as his mother. That’s a lot of money.”
