Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 533 “Chelsea said she’s having problems at work. I wonder what happened. I thought she was doing well. What
changed?” Mrs. Brown mumbled as she swiftly tapped the call button to connect to her daughter. During the call, Chelsea
restlessly uttered, “I don’t know what’s going on, Mom. I have a feeling the people at work are out to get me. They have a bone
to pick in everything I do. Not one good thing happened the whole day. Just let the divorce go through if Hank wants it, Mom.
Your son is a great man. He’ll have no problems finding another wife.”
“God knows where Liberty found dirt on your brother, and she got enough to threaten your brother to meet all her demands.
Liberty gets over a million bucks in alimony, full custody of Sonny, and three thousand dollars a month for child support.” “Does
Hank have that much money to give her?” Chelsea was shocked. “Hank had transferred his assets out, but Liberty somehow got
proof of the transfer. Never mind. Since trouble at the workplace is putting you down, you don’t have to go with me. Your dad and
I will go into the city first thing tomorrow morning to have a chat with Liberty and her sister.” Chelsea replied, “Go for Serenity,
Mom. Convincing her is basically convincing Liberty.” “I think so too.” The mother and daughter chatted for a while over the
phone before they disconnected the call.
Serenity popped over to Liberty’s place after work to discuss the latter’s housing following the move out of the Browns’
residence.
As expected, Liberty turned down the offer to move into her little sister’s place. She said, “I will have enough money so long as
Hank pays up, so I won’t need to move to your place. I’ll rent a place and look around for a property. The money should cover
the deposit for a slightly smaller house.
“With the rest of the money, I’ll see if I can continue working at Lewis & Co. In the event I can’t work there anymore, I‘ll quit and
run a breakfast place as you’ve suggested.”
Serenity stopped the persuasion and instead said to her sister, “Let me know whenever you’re in need. I can lend you the
money.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t hesitate to ask you.”
Serenity stroked her nephew who was nestled in her sister’s arms.
“Ant Swer.”
“Does Sonny want a hug?”
After much thought, Sonny stretched both arins out to let Serenity hold him.

Serenity gave him a hug before carefully inspecting the bruise on his face. “The doctor
mentioned applying a hot compress every day after twenty-four hours have passed.” “I followed the doctor’s order, and the bruise
is looking much better now.” Sonny’s whining had calmed down a lot as Liberty took the time to be with him and pacify the boy.
“Take Sonny out for a stroll tomorrow, Liberty. Come to my shop if you don’t have any place to go to.”
“Sure,” Liberty answered.
Serenity stayed for a friendly chat before leaving her sister’s place. Mrs. Lane remained at Liberty’s house. Prior to leaving,
Serenity had Mrs. Lane help pack Liberty’s things. Once the divorce was finalized, Serenity would bring people over to help her
sister move and demolish the house renovation before returning the house to Hank. By the time Serenity returned to Brynfrield,
Grandma May was already asleep. She tiptoed into the room and took a shower before creeping into Zachary’s room. Zachary
told her to wait for his return in his bedroom.
With a phone in hand, Serenity scrolled for videos in bed until she gave in to the sandman’s dust. She dozed off without knowing
her phone had fallen onto the bed. Zachary returned home with glee. Serenity promised him that she would be waiting for him in
his room. Zachary deliberately left his bedroom door unlocked before he went out this morning to give Serenity access. He
eagerly pushed his bedroom door open the moment he got back The room was brightly lit. Lo and behold, his wife was lying in
bed, but she was asleep.
