Sonny was Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s true grandson.
When they returned to their rented house, they saw their son and daughter-in-law watching TV. Their expressions did not look good.
“Dad, Mom, didn’t you pick Sonny up?”
Hank stood up and turned toward his parents. He asked that question when he did not see his son.
Jessica walked over too. She said, “I organized the smaller room and decorated it into a kid’s room. I bought a lot of toys for Sonny too. Why didn’t you pick him up?”
Jessica had received a lock of hair and a note from an unknown woman. On it was written that the hair belonged to her mother. It also asked her to carry out the plan as soon as possible and bring Sonny to crowded places like the zoo or a children’s park.
If she did not follow that woman’s instructions, the next item sent to her would be two of her mother’s fingers.
Jessica was terrified.
She counted on her in-laws to bring Sonny back, but they failed.
How could she put her plan into action?
Mr. and Mrs. Brown went to sit on the sofa. Mrs. Brown said, “Liberty didn’t stop us, but she said we could take Sonny only if he agreed to leave with us. If he disagreed, we couldn’t force him.
“Naturally, Sonny refused to follow us back.”
Hank followed his parents and sat on the sofa. Upon listening to his mother’s words, he said, “Who asked you guys to care for and love Chelsea’s children only in the past? You didn’t even help to raise your grandson. That’s why Sonny isn’t close to you two.”
“Look who’s talking. We’re Sonny’s grandparents. There’s a generation gap. You’re his father, but have you fulfilled your responsibility as one? Your relationship with Sonny isn’t deep at all.”
