were expensive. If Chelsea caught sight of them, she would undoubtedly want to take two or three bags home. Whenever Chelsea visited, she would sneak fruits that Serenity had bought for Liberty while Liberty was distracted. In Hank’s words, Chelsea resembled a thief; she enjoyed returning to her family’s house to take things from there. He hadn’t thought much of it in the past, as Chelsea was his biological sister, but now that he had remarried, he felt she was overstepping.
Mr. Brown turned to glare at his wife, who pouted in response. She muttered, “I warned you against agreeing to the divorce. I told you not to give her money, but you never listened. If Liberty and Hank hadn’t divorced, Serenity’s husband wouldn’t have treated Sonny so harshly, even if their relationship had soured.” Their son could have kept his job.
Mr. Brown replied angrily, “Do you really think they wouldn’t have divorced just because you disagree? Hank has moved on from Liberty and doesn’t care enough about Sonny. They treat each other like enemies and are always arguing. It’s not good for Sonny’s development. You just want to exploit Serenity’s marriage into a wealthy family. Our family ended up like this due to our own actions.”
Mr. Brown felt a sense of blame toward his wife, daughter, and himself. As the head of the family, he realized that if he had been fairer, things might not have turned out this way. He recognized that Liberty was a more suitable partner but had never defended her when his wife or daughter criticized her in front of his son. He acknowledged that he wasn’t a good person either.
Mrs. Brown pouted again. Who wouldn’t want to benefit from being connected to Serenity? Even a small favor from Zachary would be enough for an…
An ordinary person spends a lifetime in this situation.
“We’re here tonight to bring Sonny to our home,” one of them announced.
Mr. Brown firmly reminded his wife not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
They felt completely bored living in their son’s house.
Mr. Brown wished to return to their old home, but Mrs. Brown disagreed. She insisted on remaining in the city with their son and daughter-in-law.
