Chapter 1198
Lucas’s kidnapping serves as a prime example.
Chelsea was so engrossed in the scene at the time that she neglected to keep an eye on her son, resulting in Lucas being kidnapped.
By the time she realized what was happening, Lucas had already been taken far away.
All the Browns were present—Hank and Chelsea, along with their parents. Jessica, who had a strained relationship with Chelsea and did not care for Lucas, chose not to appear insincere by joining them.
In truth, Jessica felt guilty; she was anxious about facing Liberty and Serenity. She also feared that they might detect her guilt and become suspicious of her.
“Come here, Sonny. Let Aunt Elisa carry you.”
Elisa waved at Sonny, who had always adored his lovely Aunt Elisa. He quickly gathered the toys he hadn’t finished assembling and walked over to her. She lifted him up as soon as he extended his arms.
“Haven’t you finished assembling them?” Elisa asked gently.
The child shook his head and replied, “Dunc is busy. I could do it if Dunc teaches me.”
Mom couldn’t help him either.
Elisa smiled and said, “I played with Lego a lot when I was young. I can teach you.”
“Okay,” Sonny replied in his childish voice.
While Elisa taught Sonny how to assemble the Lego blocks, the Browns were escorted inside by the bodyguards.
Seeing bodyguards even at Serenity’s bookstore, the Browns truly recognized the shift in her status.
They had once looked down on her, but now she was someone they could no longer belittle.
“Serenity.”
Chelsea stepped forward, as she was there to express her gratitude to Serenity for rescuing her son.
“Serenity, are we disturbing you?”
Chelsea smiled, a bright and kind smile that Serenity hadn’t seen in almost ten years.
When Serenity and her sister first met the Brown family, Chelsea greeted them with a warm smile. “Do you have business here?” Serenity wondered, noticing the bags—both large and small—in their hands. Chelsea placed her purchases on the counter with a smile, saying, “We’re here to thank you. We’re truly grateful. My Lucas would have been lost without you.” Finding a kidnapped child is no easy task, and Chelsea couldn’t bear to think about the consequences of losing her youngest son.
Her gratitude toward Serenity was immense. Despite the hurtful actions Chelsea had taken against Liberty, Serenity had chosen to respond with kindness and ultimately rescued Lucas. This made Chelsea reflect on her past actions with deep guilt. She and her mother had played significant roles in the divorce between Hank and Liberty. Watching Liberty and Serenity thrive only heightened Chelsea’s remorse.
Additionally, her dislike for Jessica, her brother’s wife, intensified. On that day, her entire family accompanied her to express their gratitude to Serenity and mend their relationship with both Serenity and Liberty. However, Jessica bluntly stated that she would not attend. Chelsea, not known for her generosity, did not change her nature simply because Serenity had saved her son; she felt gratitude for Serenity and her sister. On the way, she couldn’t help but think that Jessica should not even consider having a good life with her family as long as she was around.
