Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 81 Liberty snapped back, “Hank, I take care of our child all day, but you only see me as some useless person who only
eats and spends moneyunnecessarily.
I can take it because I want to give my son the best I can.
III “But your sister’s kids have nothing to do with me.
They’re not my responsibility.
There’s no way I’m going to care for her kids! I can’t believe you want guardianship of her children.
The burden of providing for them and their education would fall on us.
“The title deed doesn’t have my name, so it’s your business if you want to transfer the ownership toyour sister.
It’s also your problem if you can’t get the house back.
One thing though, you should return the renovation cost to me before you put her name on the deed.
1 11 “I won’t be able to get my money back when the house becomes hers.”
Ashadow of gloom loomed over Hank.
“I said I’ll be giving you extra allowance.
Isn’t that enough? You’re at home with a child anyway, so I don’t see the big deal of adding anothertwo.
Kids over ten years old are hardly a handful.
You can just tutor them on their homework.
LLLLL “If you think a thousand bucks isn’t enough, I’ll put in
another five hundred.
You should be happy with a thousand and five hundred.
1 “So what if the burden of the kids’ wellbeing and education falls on us? They’re my sister’s kids.
It’s the least we can do.
I trust my sister.
She will return the house to me.
What do you mean by the renovation cost? I bought the house with my money.
Shouldn’t you contribute to the renovations since you’re living here too?
“The audacity of yours to ask me torepay you for the renovation cost.
Dream on!”
Liberty glared at her husband.
Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach.
The couple was in a long-term relationship before tying the knot.
Hank was the perfect boyfriend and husband up until two years into the marriage.
Now, Hank had only been doing things that broke her heart.

Hank only took his parents and sister’s side.
It was not just Liberty, but their son, Sonny, also took a back seat in Hank’s life.
Hank catered to Chelsea’s every request.
The issue of catchment areas had been a national dilemma that had caused many siblings to fall out.
“Hank, I’m sticking to my guns on this.
It’s not a question of money.
It’s not my responsibility either.
I’m not taking care of your sister’s kids for her, nor will I tutor them.
If you’re going down that route, you might as well pay me the wages of a tutor.
“I’ll charge five thousand bucks for each kid every month.
That’s ten thousand dollars for both of them.
Heck, I’ll cook, do the pickups and drop-offs, and tutor for that price.
Take it or leave it.
That’s a discount since she’s your sister.
“I’m very qualified to be a tutor, so I’m worth the price.”
Since it was all about the money, Liberty would play him at his own game!
“Iwon’t agree to transfer the house to your sister’s name until you repay me for the renovation cost.
We can divorce if you go ahead anyway.
I’m still going to insist on getting the renovation money back as the divorce settlement.”
Her name was never on the title deed because Hank bought the property beforemarriage.
The Browns did not want to give her a cut of the house.
After finding out that Liberty and Hank were going steady, the Browns quickly bought a house for Hank.
Liberty was not entitled to the prenuptial property that did not have her name on it.
Hank turned black in the face.
“Five thousand bucks for each child? Why don’t you just rob a bank? A divorce? Do
you think you’re only eighteen? You’rea married woman with a child and without a job.
You’re fat and ugly.
Just a look at you makes people sick to their stomachs.
How are you going to feed yourself after the divorce? “Alright now.
I need to think about this.
Ten thousand is out of the question.

The best I can do is three thousand bucks.” 11 “No deal!”
Liberty bluntly rejected before turningover, refusing to continue discussing the subject with Hank.
