Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Chapter 10

Serenity went to her sister's place.She opened the door and went inside the house to find her sister was already up.

Liberty was busy in the kitchen.

"Liberty."

"Seren, you're here."

Liberty came out of the kitchen and was happy to see her little sister.

"Have you eaten? I'm making a pot of pasta.Do you want a plate?"

"I'm good.I had breakfast.Have you started cooking? You don’t have to if you haven't because I brought you and Sonny breakfast."

"Not yet.Sonny had a fever last night.I didn't sleep much the whole night, so I got up late.Your brother-in-law had to get breakfast from the shop.He wasn't happy about it.He accused me of doing nothing all day and I could've made him breakfast since all I did was look after a child."

Liberty was hurt.

Serenity was furious for her sake.

"Why did Sonny have a fever? You should take him to see a doctor later even if the fevers gone in case it comes back.Seriously.I can’t believe my brother-in-law didn't bother to help and even yelled at you when Sonny was sick.

"Is my brother-in-law still insisting on going Dutch after I moved out, Liberty?" Liberty took a seat on the sofa and unwrapped the food.
