We shouldn\u2019t be too rigid; we should leave ourselves some options. This way, we can have amicable interactions in the future, but Sonny must return to us!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>After all, Sonny was a Brown!<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDad, I promise I will definitely gain custody of Sonny.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cUntil you two are officially divorced, I can\u2019t trust that promise. It would be better if you brought Sonny to stay with us, allowing your mother and me to care for him. Only then will I feel at ease.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank responded with exasperation, \u201cDad, you and Mom have never taken care of Sonny. If I bring him over and he struggles to adjust, causing a scene, what then?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Olivia chimed in, \u201cThat\u2019s precisely why we need to take him in now\u2014to strengthen the bond. When you remarry, will that Yates woman want to care for him? Sonny will certainly end up with your father and me. We are his biological grandparents, after all.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHow many kind stepmothers are out there? Besides, you and that Yates woman are still young. You\u2019ll likely have your own child soon. Sonny wasn\u2019t born of the Yates woman\u2014she certainly won\u2019t treat him well.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>While Hank\u2019s parents had never cared for Sonny before, they were still primarily concerned about the possibility of their grandson being mistreated by a future stepmother.<\/div>\n<div>In recent years, there had been numerous reports of stepmothers abusing children from their husband\u2019s previous marriages. Some of these children were only a few years old when they suffered fatal abuse.<\/div>\n<div>With a stepmother comes a stepchild. Who knows how their own child might treat Sonny in the future?<\/div>\n<div>Sonny was their first grandson, and Hank\u2019s parents held him in high regard.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYour father and I have\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Some retirement funds are in place, and we\u2019re still relatively young. As long as we stay healthy, we can continue to care for Sonny. In the future, you\u2019ll only need to cover his living expenses and school fees.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Hank paused for a moment before responding, \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll head home tonight and bring Sonny over tomorrow for you to take care of him.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Only then did Hank\u2019s parents feel a sense of relief after his agreement. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity and her sister anticipated that the Browns would resist the divorce. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity slept for nearly half the day at the shop to regain her mental strength, waking up well past eleven. <\/p>\n<p>Watching Jasmine play with Sonny, who was laughing uncontrollably, stirred a bit of sadness in Serenity. Once her sister proceeded with the divorce, Sonny would no longer have a complete family. <\/p>\n<p>Divorce, regardless of whether it affects adults or children, inflicts a certain level of harm. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re awake,\u201d Jasmine said with a smile. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re still feeling sleepy, you can rest a bit longer. I\u2019ll wake you up for lunch once Mrs. Lane is done cooking.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel much better after sleeping for half the day.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sonny approached and said, \u201cAunt Swer.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity picked him up, and he asked, \u201cAunt Swer, are you sick? Why are you always sleeping?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He even imitated how his mother usually checked for fever by feeling Serenity\u2019s forehead. <\/p>\n<p>He then touched his own forehead but was at a loss for words. <\/p>\n<p>His actions made Serenity laugh, and she hugged him tightly. When she finally released him, she smiled and said, \u201cI\u2019m not sick. I just didn\u2019t sleep well last night, so I\u2019m catching up on rest now.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you sleep well last night?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sonny felt that as long as he climbed into bed with his mother by his side, he<\/p>\n<p>She could sleep very well.<br \/>\nWas Ant Swer unable to sleep because her mother was not by her side?<br \/>\nHe had never seen Ant Swer\u2019s mother before.<br \/>\nHis mother mentioned that Ant Swer\u2019s mother was his maternal grandmother.<br \/>\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep well because I was thinking about how to make money, lots of money, and become a wealthy woman!\u201d<br \/>\nSonny blinked, wanting to respond, but he was unsure of what to say. The confused expression on his face was quite amusing to see.<br \/>\n\u201cHas Sonny eaten?\u201d<br \/>\nSonny rubbed his tummy and replied, \u201cJazz fed me! Sonny\u2019s full.\u201d<br \/>\nSerenity laughed and set him down. \u201cThen Sonny can keep playing. I need to make a call.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOkay.\u201d<br \/>\nThe little boy obediently walked back to Jasmine and let her play with him. Serenity then called Zachary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 409 Mr. Brown continued, \u201cIt\u2019s perfectly acceptable to give a little extra money to Liberty.
