“It’s conducive to our family’s happiness. I’m not a petty person. When all’s said and done, you’re Sonny’s father and have to pay for his child support, so you have to maintain your bond with him. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste if he isn’t close to you despite him growing up with your money.
“We’ve been together for so long, but I haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Maybe I’ll be able to conceive if you bring Sonny over. There are many people who remain childless after years of marriage, but after they adopt a child, they have one of their own after a year or two.”
Hank was overjoyed to hear this and praised her. “Jessica, I was right about you. You’re a wise and sensible wife and mother.”
“What woman doesn’t think about making a good life for herself when she marries her husband. I was forced to become a shrew because your family bullied me. Your sister, especially, is a troublemaker.
“She stirred up your marriage with Liberty, and now she wants to stir us up too. Hank, I’m not trying to sow discord. I’m telling you the truth. Think about it. Isn’t your sister vile? Every single thing she does is to the detriment of others.
“She clearly has a large amount of savings and wants to start a business, but she came to us to borrow more than a hundred grand. Lending money to a person like your sister is like lending meat to a lion. You’ll never get the money back.”
Jessica criticized Chelsea in front of Hank.
She dared say that Liberty also complained to Hank about Chelsea before, but Hank had sided with his sister after he no longer had feelings for Liberty.
After a moment of silence, Hank said, “Chelsea... I told her not to come to our house often unless it’s for the festivities.”
“She also told you she wanted to add her first two children to our household register and let them live in our new home so it’s more convenient for them to go to Wiltspoon Wood High, right? Hank, don’t be dumb and agree to her request.
“It’s easier to invite the devil in than to send him away. If you add the children to our household register, they’ll be a part of our family. They’ll have a stake in the family property in the future.”
