Chapter 270
Jessica Yates was not at all put off by the situation and appeared to be completely happy.
Hank believed that Jessica was genuinely in love with him and not interested in his wealth. He thought she truly wanted to grow old together and was not just playing games; this was why she had maintained her boundaries and refused to have sex with him. She was serious about their relationship, which made Hank even more committed.
He also promised Jessica that once he saved more money, he would buy her a new car.
Jessica was so grateful that she kissed him passionately several times, leaving him dazed and confused about which way was up or down.
Liberty still wanted to say something, but Hank had already hung up and promptly transferred $1,200 to her to purchase formula.
Although she did not receive the full amount of $2,400 and only got half, Liberty quickly accepted the money he had sent.
“What’s wrong? Was it about your wife?”
When Hank answered his phone earlier, Jessica had wisely stepped away.
Only after she saw that Hank had hung up did Jessica approach with two glasses of red wine.
This evening, she was dressed like a wealthy heiress in a designer evening gown. Young and already beautiful, the dress enhanced her appearance even further. She had a stunning figure and caught the attention of countless men the moment she arrived at the reception with Hank.
Jessica had a cocky demeanor.
She took great pride in her looks and physique.
Hank had been more than willing to spend money on her attire. Not only did he buy her a gorgeous evening gown, but he also gifted her a gold necklace, a pair of pendant earrings, and two gold bracelets to wear for tonight’s event.
Jessica believed she may not have looked as glamorous as the wealthy heiresses, but she certainly didn’t look bad.
“It was ridiculous. She keeps asking for money as if I’m a bank,” Hank grumbled after transferring funds to Liberty.
He was frustrated and felt that Liberty should not have requested money for the formula.
Jessica handed Hank a glass of wine and said, “Aren’t you two supposed to be splitting expenses? You’re not even going home for lunch, and she still has the audacity to ask you for money? For what?”
Ultimately, Hank’s money would end up benefiting her.
Jessica didn’t want Hank’s money to be wasted on Liberty.
“We’re out of formula for Sonny. She wanted me to send her money for it. I don’t even understand why the formula is so expensive. Each purchase costs two thousand four hundred dollars. I told her to continue breastfeeding until Sonny was ready to start kindergarten, which would have saved a lot of money, but she refused. She stopped breastfeeding after Sonny turned one and switched to formula, which became an additional expense.”
“Of the two thousand four hundred dollars, I transferred one thousand two hundred to her, as per our agreement to split everything in half. It’s not a loss for me; after all, Sonny is my son.”
Hank still loved his son.
He just didn’t love his wife anymore.
Once a man falls out of love with a woman, all her positive traits can start to feel like flaws.
That was precisely how Hank perceived Liberty; in his eyes, she was no longer worth anything.
