Chapter 1155
Once Serenity and Zachary finished their meal, he said to her, “Seren, please bring Sonny and sit over there. I’ll handle the dishes.”
Zachary often helped with chores at home, so Serenity was accustomed to it. Following his request, she picked up Sonny and settled on the sofa next to her sister.
As soon as she sat down, three pairs of eyes turned toward her.
Her sister and her sister’s former in-laws were staring at her intently.
Confused, Serenity asked, “Liberty, why are you all looking at me like that? Is there food on my face?”
She touched her face, finding nothing out of place.
“Serenity, how can you allow Mr. York to clean up the dishes and do household chores?” Mrs. Brown reproached her.
“When a man comes home after a long day of work, you should take good care of him as his wife. Men enjoy returning home when they feel the warmth of family.”
Serenity now understood why they were staring.
She replied, “My sister took excellent care of your son in the past. Did he not feel the warmth of family then? Or did he dislike coming home because of another woman?”
Mrs. Brown was left speechless.
Serenity set Sonny down and addressed him, “Sonny, you should learn from Uncle Zak in the future. He exemplifies what it means to be a good man.”
She continued, “My husband’s grandmother advised me to let my husband do more around the house. We share the family responsibilities. I work too, so why should the wife do all the chores? Why should she be a free housekeeper serving everyone?”
“Zachary and I divide the work and handle household tasks together. No one is superior to the other.”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were at a loss for words.
They genuinely did not expect that the esteemed Mr. York would willingly wash the dishes.
Dishes and household chores were part of the routine. From a woman’s perspective, Serenity was quite fortunate and enviable. After a while, Mrs. Brown extended her hands toward Sonny. “Sonny, let Grandmom carry you, okay?”
“No.”
Sonny turned his head away, showing his reluctance. He even climbed onto his aunt’s lap and settled there.
“Sonny, your dad said he’d take you to see tigers at the zoo tomorrow if you come with us for a short stay. Do you want to go?”
Visiting the zoo had always been on Sonny’s mind. However, he insisted, “I’ll go if Mom goes.”
He turned to Liberty and asked, “Mom, are you going to the zoo tomorrow?”
“I’m busy in the morning, but I can take you to the zoo in the afternoon.”
Sonny replied to his grandparents, “I’ll go with Mom.”
Despite Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s attempts to persuade Sonny, he refused to go home with them. Ultimately, they left Liberty’s house feeling defeated.
Mrs. Brown regretted not coming from her old home to help care for Liberty after Sonny was born. She hadn’t contributed to raising Sonny, which led to a lack of closeness between them.
While Sonny did allow them to hug him and called them Granddad and Grandmom, he would refuse to go with them whenever they tried to take him away.
The child was naturally closer to those who had raised him. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had been raising their daughter’s children all along, and while their grandchildren were close to them, Sonny belonged to the Repton family.
