Jasmine continued, “Some families pressure their sons to divorce their wives, believing they can find someone better. But what actually happens? The ex-wives move on and remarry with ease, while their sons struggle to find anyone willing to marry them. Just look at the world we live in—there are so many single men having a hard time finding a wife. Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘If your wife hasn’t left you, consider yourself lucky’?”
While running her store, Jasmine often chatted with neighbors and overheard plenty of gossip. Many were from other towns and had outrageous stories to tell.
“There’s always a toxic mother-in-law in the village who despises her daughter-in-law,” Jasmine added. “She stirs up trouble, encourages her son to mistreat his wife, and even persuades him to divorce her, promising he’ll find a younger, better partner. But once the divorce is finalized, the truth emerges. The mother-in-law’s meddling reputation spreads, and no one wants to marry their daughter to a man like that—especially one known for domestic violence. And let’s not forget the bride price these days; it’s significantly higher than before.”
She laughed bitterly. “So, while the ex-wife moves on and marries someone better, these men are left regretting their decisions. They try to win their ex-wives back, but by then, it’s too late. Why would any woman return to a man like that, especially when she’s happy in her new life?”
Jasmine paused before adding, “That’s precisely why Hank’s parents are envious of Liberty. She didn’t just move on—she married into a wealthy family. They can’t do anything about it, so now they’re directing their efforts toward Sonny.”
Serenity sighed. “Chelsea’s aim is to win over Sonny. She’s trying to
get close to him now, hoping he’ll assist her children in the future. It’s all about what they can gain.” Upon hearing this, both Jasmine and Elisa cursed Chelsea without restraint. “They’re unbelievable,” Elisa exclaimed angrily. “Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Brown spoiled Chelsea’s kids while barely pretending to care about Sonny, their own grandson. Now that Sonny has a promising future, Chelsea believes she can manipulate him into supporting her children? It’s disgusting.” Serenity agreed, nodding. “If the Browns had ever shown Sonny genuine love and care, I wouldn’t mind if he chose to help them when he grows up. But they’ve never been sincere. The only one who truly cares about Sonny is Hank, his father. As for the rest of them? They only care when it’s convenient for them.”
Elisa sighed deeply. “Thank goodness Liberty escaped that family. Honestly, it’s a miracle she divorced Hank.” Jasmine added, “Absolutely. Liberty knew when to cut her losses, and it’s all thanks to Grandma York’s wisdom.” After a pause, she continued, “If Seren hadn’t married Zachary, Liberty’s divorce wouldn’t have been as smooth as it was. Do you remember when the Browns tried to take Sonny away and hide him? If it hadn’t been for the York family intervening, who knows if Liberty would have ever gotten her son back.”
Jasmine shook her head, reflecting on how many women in similar situations lose their children during chaotic divorces. “There are countless cases where husbands take the child, hide them, and refuse to let the mothers see them. Even when the court grants custody to the mother, the father may just flee with the child. Some mothers never see their children again. Can you imagine the pain and despair they must endure?” Elisa nodded solemnly. “Liberty is truly one of the lucky ones.”
Serenity smiled gently, her face reflecting deep gratitude. She reflected on her own life and felt fortunate to have Zachary by her side. He was everything she had ever hoped for in a husband—supportive, loving, and reliable. Serenity knew that for the rest of their lives, she and Zachary would treasure one another. They would create a family together, raising both sons and daughters, and as they aged, they would be surrounded by their children and grandchildren. This was the ideal life she had always envisioned.
