Chapter 79

Chelsea added, "Your place is not too far from the school.I believe it's in the catchment area.

"Liberty can take care of the two kids, cook, and clean for them.The boarding expenses..."

Hank interrupted her.

"Chelsea, they are my niece and nephew.Forget the boarding expenses.I'll get the kids transferred tothe school here.Liberty will do the pickups and drop-offs.It’s not like she has anything else to doanyway."

Seeing that Hank did not hesitate to say yes, Chelsea and her husband were over the moon.Mrs.Brownpointed something out to her son.

"Hank, you should discuss this with Liberty.She's part of the family too."

She then turned her attention to her daughter.

"I heard the kids don’t get an automatic placement for the junior highs here.The parents must live orown a property in the catchment area to get into local schools.Chelsea, it's not like you're living in thecountryside.It's suburban.The schools there aren't too bad.You and your brothers studied there and gotto college just fine."

Mrs.Brown believed the location did not matter so long as the children did their due diligence studying.

"Oh, this reminds me.Hank, how about I named you the parent of the kids or you can transfer the titledeed to my name? Once the kids graduate, I'll revert the guardianship to me or the house ownership toyou."

Mr.Repton held his son as he helped himself to some watermelon.He had no comment on the matter.

Hank was quick to sign off on it without a second thought.

Nevertheless, he said, "I'll let Liberty know later.I call the shots in this family, but Moms tight.She's partof this family.Besides, she has to send the kids to and from school, as well as cook for the kids.I'll needto get her opinion on this.

"I'll call you once we reach a decision, Chelsea.Don't worry.I want my niece and nephew to get into thebest schools."

Ah, the love between siblings.

Hank had a lot of faith in his sister and was willing to help out as much as possible.

Besides, his niece and nephews were not outsiders; they were family.

Chelsea was tickled pink, to say the least.

Switching to a lighter tone, she persuaded Hank, "Don't be mad at Liberty.It's normal for couples tohave fights.You've been together and in love since college.For Sonny's sake, just let it go."

She was afraid that instigating a fight between the couple would steer Liberty away from cooking andplaying chauffeur for her kids.

That would foil Chelsea's plan in sending her kids to her brothers.

Chelsea got to lie low when asking for a favor.

Mr.Brown chimed in.

"Hank, your sister's right.Don't go around talking about beating up your wife.Sit down and talk thingsout.Don't take the violent route.Look at me and your mom.We've been married for years, but I've neverlaid a finger on your mom."

Hank grumbled, "It's because my mom is the best.Liberty can’t be compared to mom.She's gettingworse by the day.She's not contributing anything to the family and thinks she's doing me a favorbecause she's caring fora child.I only suggested going halves to save money because she's spendingmoney as if they grow on trees.

In one day, she can spend half of the three thousand bucks I give her for monthly expenses! "Mom andChelsea proposed the idea to me.If I don't do that, Liberty won't figure out a way to earn some moneyor understand the struggles.It's a challenge to provide for the family.Yet, here she is, splitting the housechores with me.Well, she's got another thing coming."

"She spent over a thousand in a day!? That's excessive.You have a mortgage and child to thinkabout.She could’ve been a little more considerate since she’s relying on you without an income.Goinghalves sounds like a good idea.I'm not saying you shouldn't do that to her."

Mr.Brown took his son's side immediately.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures.She can take up a part-time job while caring for thechild.But don't keep talking about teaching her a lesson.Marriage is forever.It hasn't been long since thewedding, and you're already killing each other.How are you going to survive a lifetime?"

Hank pursed his lips and said, "Got it, Dad.I'll let her off the hook tonight then."
