Chapter 1153
Married at First Sight
Liberty kept quiet.
Serenity spoke, âYou never took care of Sonny before. Heâll not be able to get used to it and cry if you take him to your place. If you want to visit Sonny, you can come over every day during the daytime and play with him.â
Mr. Brown said embarrassedly, âSerenity, we didnât take care of Sonny before, so weâre trying to make up for it now. Weâre old and bored at home. If we help your sister to take care of Sonny, sheâll be able to focus on earning money too.â
He asked the child in his arms next, âSonny, do you want to follow Granddad and Grandmom home?â
Sonny asked, âIs Mom coming?â
Mr. Brown was stunned. He replied, âYour mom isnât going, but your dad is in Granddad and Grandmomâs home. Sonny, follow us back and stay with us, okay? That way, your mom wonât be tired as well.â
Sonny twisted and turned to get down. He ran back to the table, climbed onto his chair, and sat down.â
want to eat. If Mom isnât going, I wonât go too. I want Mom!â
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were at a loss for words.
âSince you two mustâve eaten already, I wonât invite you to have a meal. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV first. We can talk again after we finish eating.â
Liberty poured a glass of warm water for her former in-laws. After that, she turned on the TV for them and returned to the table to resume eating with her sister and brother-in-law.
Mr. Brown smiled sheepishly. âEnjoy your meal. Weâll watch TV.â
The old couple saw the four bags of fruits placed on the coffee table. They guessed it must have been Serenity and Zachary who bought them.
Mrs. Brown whispered enviously, âSerenity has always liked to buy food and drinks for her sister. Now that sheâs rich, the quality of the fruits she bought also improved.â
All the fruits bought were expensive.
If Chelsea saw them, she would definitely want to take two or three bags home.
Whenever Chelsea came over, she would take fruits that Serenity bought for Liberty when leaving and while Liberty was not paying attention.
Using Hankâs words, Chelsea was just like a thief. She liked to return to her familyâs house and take things from there.
He did not think much of it in the past since Chelsea was his biological sister. Now that he had changed wives, he thought his sister was too much.
Mr. Brown turned his head and glared at his wife. Mrs. Brown pouted from his stare. She muttered, âBack then, I said we shouldnât agree to them getting a divorce. I told you not to give her money, but you never listened. If Liberty and Hank didnât divorce, Serenityâs husband wouldnât have been so cruel for the sake of Sonny even if their relationship had turned sour.â
Their son could have kept his job.
Mr. Brown said angrily, âDo you think they wonât get a divorce just because you disagree? Hankâs attention isnât on Liberty anymore, and he doesnât care about Sonny enough. They treated each other like enemies and always quarreled. Itâs not good for Sonnyâs growth.
âYou just want to take advantage and benefit from Serenity marrying into a wealthy family. Our family ended up like this because of our own doing.â
Mr. Brown blamed his wife, daughter, and himself. He was the head of the family. If only he had been fairer, things would not have turned out that way.
He knew that Liberty was a more suitable partner, but he never took her side whenever his wife or daughter badmouthed her in front of his son.
He was not a good person either.
Mrs. Brown pouted.
Who would not want to benefit from being associated with Serenity?
Even something small from Zachary would be enough for an ordinary person to spend for a lifetime.
âWeâre here tonight to take Sonny to our place.â
Mr. Brown sternly reminded his wife not o create unnecessary trouble.
They were utterly bored living in their sonâs house.
Mr. Brown wanted to return to their old home, but Mrs. Brown refused. She insisted on staying in the city with their son and daughter-in-law.
