Married at First Sight Chapter 4687
After the family finished their meal, Liberty’s phone rang.
It was Zhou Honglin.
Liberty didn’t answer, instead handing the phone to Yangyang.
Zhou Honglin usually called about their son.
Liberty rarely spoke to her ex-husband anymore, and the occasional chat was always about Yangyang. Now, their only topic of conversation was their son.
They both had new lives, and Zachary stopped suppressing Zhou Honglin. He was able to find a job, but he felt the freedom of working for a company wasn’t as great.
He drove a ride-Liberty service all day, but it offered more freedom. He could go when he didn’t want to, and the money he earned was enough to spend, with a little left over.
Besides the annual child support for Yangyang, he didn’t have any major expenses, and having changed his previous lavish spending habits, he still managed to save tens of thousands of yuan each year.
He set aside one day every month to visit his wife, Ye Jiani, encouraging her to reform herself, strive for a reduced sentence, and get released sooner. He would wait for her no matter how long it took her to be released.
His parents had urged him countless times to divorce Ye Jiani, and Ye Jiani had also filed for divorce, but he had refused. He said that it was because he had been unfaithful to his family that he had hurt two women
and himself .
Now this was God’s punishment for him, and it was also a chance for him to mend his ways. He didn’t want to make any more mistakes, so he just waited for Ye Jiani to come out.
The Ye family had already severed ties with Ye Jiani, and they had never visited her in prison. If he didn’t want Ye Jiani anymore, what would happen to her when she came out?
Ultimately, it was he who had hurt Ye Jiani.
He was earning money outside, while Ye Jiani was serving her sentence inside. He said that when Ye Jiani came out, the money he had saved would be enough for the couple’s retirement.
When Liberty first married Lu Dongming, everyone in the Zhou family worried that Lu Dongming wasn’t treating Yangyang well, that his previous kindness was fake, a way to appease Liberty.
Zhou Honglin shared that sentiment.
Now, six years later, Lu Dongming remains just as kind to Yangyang, treating him like his own son. The father and son are incredibly close. As boys grow older, it’s natural for them to grow closer to their fathers. Yangyang often talks to his stepfather, Lu Dongming.
Lu Dongming has fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and Yangyang lives with his mother and stepfather, still the sunny boy he always was.
Zhou Honglin is deeply grateful to Lu Dongming. The two grown men could coexist peacefully when they met, because they were both Yangyang’s fathers and wanted Yangyang’s best interests at heart.
Yangyang took the phone.
“Dad,”
he said, and Zhou Honglin wasn’t surprised at all.
Whether he called Liberty or Lu Dongming, they always let Yangyang answer the phone.
“Yangyang, are you back in Wancheng?”
Zhou Honglin had just dropped off a customer and didn’t want to take any orders for the time being. He parked his car in front of the breakfast shop owned by Liberty, where he was eating breakfast.
Usually, he either ate at home or went to Liberty’s breakfast shop. Even though Liberty no longer managed the breakfast shop herself, it was still under her name and was still Liberty’s property.
Zhou Honglin patronized his ex-wife’s business and could taste the taste of his ex-wife’s food every day. The manager and waiters at the breakfast shop had all learned Liberty’s cooking skills, and the breakfast they made tasted just like Liberty’s.
