Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 858
“Daddy,” Sonny called Hank.
Hank took two steps forward, picked his son up, and teased him for a while. When
Liberty parked the e–bike, he said, “Your granddad took some of your cousins to my office to look for me.”
Liberty frowned. “What for?”
She already divorced Hank.
Right before the divorce was finalized, her granddad even took a sum of money from her ex–mother–in–law amounting to
several tens of thousands.
She wondered if her ex–mother–in–law managed to get the money back.
Probably not.
There was no way money that went into her granddad’s pocket could come back out again.
Both parties were brazen and shameless. It would definitely be fun watching them tear into each other. It was a shame she could
not witness it.
“I’m guessing they came to town to find Serenity after finding out that she’s Mr. York’s wife. They couldn’t find her–Serenity’s
store wasn’t open, so they went to Brynfield, but they couldn’t enter. Serenity isn’t answering their calls either.
“They wanted to find you, but they didn’t know where you live, so they came looking for me instead.”
It caused him to be misunderstood by his new wife. He spent a lot of effort trying to coax an angry Jessica.
Jessica hated how Hank and Liberty were still in contact.
“You told them that I live here?”
Hank saw his son’s fair and ruddy face and could tell that Liberty took good care of the boy. He said faintly, “I didn’t tell him. I just
said that we broke off contact after the divorce, and I don’t know where you’re staying.”

Those people did not have good intentions. Hank did not care if Liberty was pestered by her family, but he was afraid that the
pestering would affect his son’s life.
“Two of your cousins have some connections. They’ll ask around, so sooner or later they’ll find out where you live. If they come
to your place to cause trouble, then send Sonny to me. Don’t let them scare him.”
It had been a while since Hank and Jessica started being intimate, but there was still no change in Jessica’s belly.
His mother kept muttering in front of him, saying that Jessica was infertile.
Hank was infuriated by his mother’s remark. Jessica and he had only been together for a short period of time, not a decade.
There would only be a problem if she could not get pregnant after eight to ten years of marriage.
However, there were exceptions where a couple only got a child after many years of marriage.
There was a janitor at his company who got married at nineteen, but she never got pregnant after the marriage. She took all
sorts of supplements, but it was useless. The couple finally gave up and adopted a little girl who was abandoned.
A few years later, they adopted a son. The boy came from a family who already had several sons and he was the youngest. The
boy’s family felt like it was not worth raising him, so they gave him away.
However, after twenty years, when the janitor was thirty–nine years old, she was suddenly expecting. She had long since given
up on getting pregnant, so she did not know that she had a child growing inside her. When her belly grew bigger, she thought
she had a terminal illness and cried to her husband that she was dying.
Her husband took her to the doctor, who later told her that she was pregnant. She could not believe it.
She got married at nineteen but only conceived a child at thirty–nine. When her daughter was born, her adopted daughter was
already married while her adopted son was in high school. Both her adopted children were filial to their adoptive mother.
Her husband died a few years after their daughter was born, and the adopted children helped her in raising their little sister. The
family was living well now. Her biological daughter did not have to worry about school because her adopted son was a top
student and was good at making money. He was already earning a living when he was still in university.
With her son taking care of her young daughter, the mother had nothing to worry about. She was too idle, so she found a
cleaning job to pass the time and earn some pocket money.

Of course, Hank did not want him and Jessica to be married for twenty years before having children. If that happened, his
parents and sister, who were already dissatisfied with Jessica, would definitely cause a scene.
