Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 518
Jessica pouted and said, “Anyway, I don’t want Sonny to share too much of your fatherly love with my future child.”
She did not want Hank to spend his money on Sonny.
Jessica hoped that Hank’s future income would be spent on their small family–her and her children.
“Liberty gave birth to Sonny, so she’ll definitely do her best to raise him and educate him well. It’ll be better for Sonny’s developm
ent. If you fight for Sonny’s custody, your parents will take care of him. Do you think your parents can educate Sonny well?
“A lot of grandparents
spoil their grandchildren. Of course, if you want to see Sonny become someone who achieves nothing in the future, then forget w
hat I said. I just think it’s better for Sonny to follow Liberty. You’re so busy with work, so how can you have time to teach Sonny?
“Children need a lot of attention and care. It takes a lot of effort to educate and nurture them. If Sonny didn’t turn out to be succe
ssful, others will put the blame on you and me. They’ll call me an evil stepmother and that’s why you don’t care for Sonny too.
“I’m already suffering so much with you. Do you want me to bear more grievances?”
Hearing Jessica’s words, Hank said in a tangled voice, “I promised my parents that I’ll take custody of Sonny.”
If he gave up on Sonny’s custody, he would not know how to explain it to his parents when he returned home.
“Sonny is your son, not your parent’s son, so only you can make this decision. If you give up on Sonny’s custody, they’re still Son
ny’s grandparents. They can still visit him whenever they want.”
Hank said nothing.
He had no time to care and nurture Sonny.
Jessica refused to resign and be a housewife after marriage like Liberty. If he sent Sonny back to his hometown for his parents to
care for, Sonny would feel abandoned, which would be bad for Sonny’s growth.
Hank had never taken care of Sonny, but he still wanted the best for his son. Hank also hoped that Sonny would become succes
sful in the future and make him proud.

“Liberty is now using the café owner’s laptop to print the divorce agreement. If you’re willing to give up on Sonny’s custody, you c
an go through the divorce formalities this afternoon. Then, you’ll be single again, and we can be together openly.
“Hank, we’re still young, and we’ll have our own children in the future. We can even have two or three of
them. The chances of Liberty getting married again are quite low with the way she looks right now. Sonny gives her the will to liv
e, so you should allow her this as someone who used to love her.”
Hank was successfully coaxed by Jessica, so he decided to give up on Sonny’s custody. He
then considered his parents‘ feelings and said, “You can go in and tell Liberty to give me another day to think about it. I need to c
onvince my parents so they won’t trouble Liberty.
“I’ll transfer the money to her as per her request tomorrow at two o’clock in the afternoon. Then, we’ll go to City Hall for the divorc
e procedures.”
Jessica thought that since it was only a day, she agreed and said, “I’ll go in and talk to her.”
Hank was convinced, so he believed he could also persuade his parents.
As Jessica was going in, Liberty came out.
She was holding two copies of the printed divorce papers with her name signed and her fingerprints stamped on them.
“Liberty.”
Hank said in a deep voice, “Give me a day to
convince my parents. Otherwise, they’ll just bring trouble to you. They might even take Sonny away again.
“Wait for me at the entrance of the bank tomorrow at two o’clock. I’ll divide the property according to your request, and then we’ll g
divorce.”
