Liberty kept quiet.
Serenity spoke, “You never took care of Sonny before. He’ll not be able to get used to it and cry if you take him to your place. If you want to visit Sonny, you can come over every day during the daytime and play with him.”
Mr. Brown said embarrassedly, “Serenity, we didn’t take care of Sonny before, so we’re trying to make up for it now. We’re old and bored at home. If we help your sister to take care of Sonny, she’ll be able to focus on earning money too.”
He asked the child in his arms next, “Sonny, do you want to follow Granddad and Grandmom home?”
Sonny asked, “Is Mom coming?”
Mr. Brown was stunned. He replied, “Your mom isn’t going, but your dad is in Granddad and Grandmom’s home. Sonny, follow us back and stay with us, okay? That way, your mom won’t be tired as well.”
Sonny twisted and turned to get down. He ran back to the table, climbed onto his chair, and sat down. “I want to eat. If Mom isn’t going, I won’t go too. I want Mom!”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were at a loss for words.
“Since you two must’ve eaten already, I won’t invite you to have a meal. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV first. We can talk again after we finish eating.”
Liberty poured a glass of warm water for her former in-laws. After that, she turned on the TV for them and returned to the table to resume eating with her sister and brother-in-law.
Mr. Brown smiled sheepishly. “Enjoy your meal. We’ll watch TV.”
The old couple saw the four bags of fruits placed on the coffee table. They guessed it must have been Serenity and Zachary who bought them.
Mrs. Brown whispered enviously, “Serenity has always liked to buy food and drinks for her sister. Now that she’s rich, the quality of the fruits she bought also improved.”
All the fruits bought were expensive.
If Chelsea saw them, she would definitely want to take two or three bags home.
Whenever Chelsea came over, she would take fruits that Serenity bought for Liberty when leaving and while Liberty was not paying attention.
