Chapter 469
Married at First Sight
While Serenity was feeling uneasy, Elisa spoke. Her voice was abnormally calm when she asked Serenity, âSerenity, my mom will come home around noon. Can I go to your place to pick up Sonny?â
Elisa did not have much of an impression of her aunt, and could not tell much from the photos of her. In Serenityâs words, children were all cute when they were young.
If Sonny looked like her aunt, even if it was just a little, she could not just let it go. She had to let her mother see him.
Elisa recalled the moment she first met Serenity. Something inexplicable had made her want to get closer to Serenity.
The first time she met Sonny, she liked him right away too.
If Sonny was her auntâs grandson, that might explain why she liked Sonny from the moment she met him.
It was not like she had never seen a kid of Sonnyâs age before, but only Sonny made her like him from the very first moment. He made her want to kidnap him to be her own nephew and when she bought toys for him, she was not stingy at all. She even wished she could open a toy factory for Sonny just to make toys for him.
It was the same for Serenity.
Considering her status, there had never been a shortage of people by her side who sucked to her and flattered her. She did not like them.
The number of true friends the twentyâsixâyearâold had could be counted on one hand because she was picky.
up However, that closeness felt at first sight with Serenity allowed her to disregard Serenityâs family background and class, which made her befriend Serenity willingly.
That was not just because Serenity helped her think of ways to pursue Mr. York.
It was because she really liked being friends with Serenity.
âElisa, I canât do that right now. Somethingâs happened with Sonny.â
Hearing that, Elisaâs heart skipped a beat. She asked worriedly, âWhat happened to Sonny?â
Serenity hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. âYou know my sister asked her husband for a divorce, right? After that, the Browns took advantage of my sisterâs inattention to kidnap Sonny and sent him to Chelseaâs house.
âBut they didnât take good care of him. Chelseaâs younger son hit Sonny and when Sonny retaliated, he ran crying to his older brother to get revenge on Sonny when he was the one who started it first. That little b*stard beat Sonny so badly that he had to be hospitalized.â
Elisa immediately got furious. âSerenity, why didnât you tell me when such a serious thing happened? I told you to just tell me and Iâd definitely help you. Howâs Sonny now? Has the person who attacked Sonny been caught?â
Setting aside the possibility that Sonny might very well be her auntâs grandson, she could not stand hearing that Sonny had been attacked purely because he was so cute and she really liked him.
âSonny has a soft tissue injury to the face that hasnât healed yet. His attacker also kicked him. twice. I saw the security camera footage, Sonny was sent flying as far as a meter away. I really want to tear his attacker to shreds for this! But⦠his attacker is still a kid too, around ten years old.â
No matter how big and burly Matthew Repton looked, his age was the crux of it. He really was just a tenâyearâold kid.
âWeâve reported it to the police, but for a tenâyearâold kid, education is the emphasis. They canât arrest him and can only compel his parents to subject him to strict discipline. Right now, my husband and I are going over to discuss the issue of compensation with them.
âSonny suffered a really big shock and fainted on the spot. Last night, when we left the hospital and returned home, he had a high fever and couldnât stop crying. He only managed to fall asleep in my sisterâs arms this morning after his fever went down and tiring himself out from crying.â
âA tenâyearâold kid beat Sonny so cruelly? And theyâre cousins, right? Your sisterâs sisterâin law is a rare specimen in this world. With a mother like that, how can anyone expect her kids to turn out well?
Serenity, send me the location. Iâll gather a few cars of people to go over. Theyâre not going to fight, just scare them a little, so they wonât bully Sonny again in the future.â
Elisa was beyond livid after hearing all that. She was a protective person. It did not matter why the other party had hit Sonny, she would always be on Sonnyâs side.
âMy husband called all his cousins to come over. There are already about eight or nine people there. I donât need your help with that for now.â
Serenity thanked Elisa, but politely turned down Elisaâs offer to bring more people over.
Elisaâs temper was rather⦠volatile.
Their visit to the Reptons today was purely for negotiation.
If they brought Elisa with them, Serenity was afraid she would not be able to contain her temper and would blow up on the Reptons.
It was enough to bring just the York cousins with them. âYour husband has that many cousins?â
