Love at First Novel

"How could we favor Lucas? Sonny is our only grandson, and we love him dearly. In the past, we took care of Lucas and Sonny more, and we formed a deeper bond with them, which led to favoring Lucas. I promise that won't happen again."

Mrs. Brown quickly assured. She knew Hank harbored resentment towards them. They had always favored Chelsea, which caused issues.

Especially last time, when Chelsea's family tried to trick Serenity into paying for a lavish meal. When that failed, Chelsea called Mrs. Brown, who unknowingly paid the bill. Sonny had revealed the truth.

When Hank found out, he was furious with his parents and warned them that if they continued to favor Chelsea, they would have to move in with her, and he would stop supporting them financially.

Hank, who drove a sports car daily, didn't earn as much as he used to. His monthly income was a fraction of his previous annual million-plus earnings, so they couldn't afford to keep giving money to Chelsea.

"Sonny doesn't like playing with Lucas. Don't talk about them developing a brotherly relationship anymore. It's nonsense. Chelsea only wants my son to help Lucas in the future because she sees that Sonny is doing well now.

Look at what Chelsea did to Liberty. Lucas tries to bully Sonny and snatch his toys whenever he sees him. What kind of brotherly relationship is that?"

Even though Sonny no longer allowed himself to be bullied by Lucas and knew how to resist successfully, Hank grew angrier thinking about it and became increasingly dissatisfied with Lucas.

Hank said, "If Chelsea hadn't constantly badmouthed Liberty to you and caused trouble, maybe Liberty and I wouldn't have divorced."

Mrs. Brown whispered, "You divorced because you disliked Liberty for getting fat and ugly after giving birth to Sonny and cheated on her. Now you blame us. If you had protected Liberty a little, we wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous.

Haven't you heard that a husband's attitude towards his wife sets the tone for his family's attitude? If a husband protects his wife, her in-laws won't dare to mistreat her. But if he doesn't respect or protect her, they will treat her poorly."

Hank was speechless.

"Since you're back, go to bed early. Have breakfast tomorrow before going out. Don't leave too early. The money you earn now is not even a fifth of what you used to make. I'm going to bed too."

Mrs. Brown sighed and went back to her room, closing the door.

There was no more talk that night.

The next day, after breakfast, Serenity dragged a suitcase downstairs.

The butler saw her and quickly approached to help with the suitcase, saying, "Eldest young lady, you can ask us for help."

Serenity replied, “The suitcase isn't heavy. It just contains a few sets of clothes for Sonny and me."

She preferred to do things herself.

Sonny was holding a giant panda doll that hadn't been unpacked yet, one of the gifts he w was going to give to Titus.

He was also dragging a children's suitcase filled with toys he often m played with and some items he planned to give to Titus. Seeing the butler help Serenity with her suitcase, Sonny looked on eagerly.

The butler smiled and took the small suitcase from his hand.

"Sonny," Grandma May and Tania called out, waving to him.

Sonny ran over, hugging the giant panda doll.

Grandma May embraced Sonny, then let him go and reminded him, "Listen and reminded t to your aunt when you go to the Johnson family, and take good care of her." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
