Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 921
Hank fled away in his car.
On his way home, he could not stop cussing Liberty out. Jessica was the sweetest. and kindest little thing. Hank did not regret
divorcing Liberty!
Back at his rented place, Hank saw a familiar car downstairs. Hank’s head was about to explode.
It was his sister.
Here came his sister again.
Hank ran his fingers along his hair in annoyance. He had better go home.
He and Jessica were out of work. It was clear that Zachary was out to get him. Did Zachary have something to do with his sister
and brother–in–law losing their jobs too?
In that case, Hank had dragged his sister down with him.
Once outside the door, Hank could hear the arguments inside.
Since the company let Jessica and Hank go together, the couple left the office together. However, Hank told Jessica to get out
and hail a cab mid–journey as he needed to blow some steam off.
Showing understanding, Jessica took a cab home.
She was not in a good mood either.
Hank always looked out for her when she was Hank’s secretary. She also enjoyed a good income, so to suddenly lose her job,
Jessica had a lot of fury in her.
She came back to her rented home to find her sister–in–law and Lucas there. Jessica faintly said hello before turning to her
bedroom.
Jessica walked into her bedroom turned upside down. Her cosmetic and skincare products were scattered all over the dressing
table and floor. Her lipsticks were broken in halves, and her dressing table was covered in various skincare creams.

The walls, floor, and duvet cover had doodles of red. The red scribbles made her see red.
“Mom.”
Jessica shouted out loud.
Mrs. Brown came in and asked, “What’s the matter? Why do you have to scream so loud? I’m not deaf. I can hear.”
“Mom, look at my room. Did Lucas do this? Lucas is a naughty boy. I told you many times not to let him into Hank’s and my
room. Look at what he did to my cosmetic and skincare products. He messed the room up.”
Chelsea entered the room and inspected her son’s handy work. She remarked without a care, “You can clean up. You’re an adult
and an aunt. How can you fuss about it with a four–year–old child?
“Lucas is just a little boy. He doesn’t know any better. He played with your things, thinking they were toys. That’s how he plays
when he comes here. Liberty never said anything.”
Liberty would lock the bedroom door to stop Lucas from entering.
Besides, Sonny had a lot of toys. Lucas would fight with Sonny over toys instead of wreaking havoc in Liberty’s room. Liberty
would clean up after Lucas and never threw a fit over it.
Liberty had always been tolerant.
Sonny’s custody went to Liberty after the divorce. Plus, Jessica had not given birth to a child. Since there were no kids in the
family, there were also no toys.
Four years old was an active and cheeky age. Toddlers at this age could not sit still for a minute. Without any toys around, Lucas
could only look for his own. entertainment. Hank did not have the tendency of locking doors. Lucas simply turned the doorknobs
and let himself in.
Chelsea came over to vent to her mother about finding a job. Now that she and her husband were jobless at home, they were
spending more money than ever. Plus, the couple had been having fights–her criticizing her husband for taking so long to find a
job and her husband accusing her of being useless.
