Chapter 77


    Chapter 77


    Since Zachary was a bit of a germaphobe, the kid''s dirty hands on the new toy did not sit well with him.


    That was why he was generous to give away the new toy.


    Now that the two young ones got over their whining, the negative vibe among the adults subsided.


    Although Zachary said nothing, the Browns got the hint from his eyes and expression to never rub him


    the wrong way.


    Mrs.Brown already had the impression that Serenity was bad news, but her man meant business too.


    She was aware of Liberty''s rtionship with Serenity and her son''s deeds too, so she needed to warn


    her son against going overboard.


    Liberty might have taken an unpaid role as a stay-at-home mom, but she did give the Browns their first


    grandson, and that should count as something.


    Hank soon returned home.


    After everybody had a brief rest on the couch, Liberty called them to the dining table as dinner was


    ready.


    Serenity followed her sister to the kitchen to bring out the food.


    While there, Serenity noticed a few seafood dishes.


    She whispered, "Liberty, Zachary and I can just have your everyday home-cooked meals.You didn''t


    have to get us seafood."


    "Your brother-inw told me to get a lot.You know Chelsea''s family loves seafood, but they wouldn''t


    have it at home since it’s expensive.Ironically, they expect a seafood gourmet every time theye,


    and I''m talking about the expensive kind.My mother-inw is the same when ites to beef.


    "Why should I pay for their meals? I didn’t use the good stuff for lunch and kept it all in the fridge for


    tonight''s dinner.I want you and Zachary to enjoy a nice meal."


    Liberty only cooked a pot of pasta for her inws this afternoon and paid no heed to the nasty looks


    she got in return.It was a pleasant dinner for everybody though.


    After dinner, Zachary stayed for a little while before making a move.


    As his wife, Serenity had to leave with him too.

    With the couple gone, Liberty started clearing the dishes of her side of the family to wash in the kitchen.


    With the thought of serving dessert to his parents and sister, Hank swung by the fridge to take out the


    watermelon when he caught sight of the mess in the dining hall.He raised his voice, "Liberty, why


    haven''t you cleared the table? Get out here and clean up the ce."


    Instead of leaving her task at hand, Serenity replied from the kitchen, "You said we''re going halves.The


    groceries today make up for the money I used to get the clothes.


    We''re even on that front.


    "But we should do our part in the house so that it''s fair.I''ve cleared Serenity and her husbands, as well


    as my tes.The rest is yours and your family’s.I don''t care whether you do it but you''ll have to use the


    same te tomorrow if you don''t clean it up."


    The Browns turned their gazes toward Hank.


    Mrs.Brown and Chelsea had suggested to Hank to go fifty-fifty with Liberty as Liberty was milking Hank


    dry.


    The women in Hank''s family felt the pinch in his wallet for his sake.


    Now that the couple started going Dutch, Liberty was expecting the same with household affairs.


    Seeing red, Hank grabbed a fruit knife and charged into the kitchen but his mother held him back.
