Chapter 24

“I saw you made a transaction in a clothing store. Did you buy clothes? What did you get for it to amount to a thousand bucks? Can’t you cut down on your spending? Do you think I have it easy making money?

“I have a house mortgage, car loan, and my parents’ living allowance to think about. Sonny needs milk powder and diapers too! It’s not like you’re contributing to the expenses. I’m on my own. Can’t you reduce the expenditure and be a little understanding of me?”

Liberty stopped walking and waited until her husband was done playing the blame game before explaining to him, “Seren said her husband will be back on Friday. The families will meet and have dinner on Saturday. As Seren’s family, I hope the meeting will go well. The clothes I have don’t fit me anymore, so I bought two dresses.

“I also bought you a new suit and tie. Hank, we’ll have to skip going to your mom’s this weekend.”

Following her clarification, Hank murmured something under his breath. Unable to catch what he said, Liberty asked, “Come again, Hank?”

“Nothing. Sure, we must dress well to meet the family, but you didn’t have to get two outfits. One’s enough. Hurry up and get on a diet. It’s time you lose some weight so you can put on the old clothes. You have some nice ones. It’s a shame you can’t wear them anymore.

“Look at you. All you do is eat, sleep, and spend. Are you a pig? At least a pig can be sold for its meat. You’re a worthless pig.”
