“Serenity, this is a little gift from me. Keep it for your sister. When people visit someone at the hospital, it’s customary to bring a gift.” Chelsea brought up the social custom.
She insisted that Liberty accept the gift card.
Olivia also gave Liberty a gift card.
Serenity refused, and in the end, the mother and daughter shoved the gift cards to Sonny and let him hold them. Then, they quickly ran away.
Mr. Brown ran along with them, not letting Serenity return the gift cards.
Only Hank stood there, watching Liberty awkwardly.
Serenity wanted to let Hank take the gift cards away, but Sonny refused to let go. He clung tightly to the cards and said, “Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave these to me!”
Serenity said gently, “Sonny, you have to return these gift cards to them. We don’t want their money.”
“Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave them to me!”
Sonny refused resolutely. His grandmother and aunt gave him gift cards in the past, but his mother would always exchange them for cash and put it into his piggy bank.
Thus, he subconsciously wanted to protect the gift cards that his grandmother and aunt gave him. It was his money!
Serenity was speechless.
It was her first time finding out that her nephew was a miser.
“Take care of yourself, Liberty. I’ll come see you again when I’m free.”
In the end, Hank did not say what he wanted to say and left after uttering some common pleasantries.
Serenity could not retrieve the two gift cards from her nephew to return to the Brown family. She looked at her sister for help.
Liberty’s pale face had a small smile as she said, “Forget it, just accept the gift cards. They’ve given gift cards to Sonny before, so he’s used to receiving these from them. It’s too hard to take them from Sonny’s hands.”
Serenity picked up her nephew and gave him a kiss, joking, “Sonny, are you saving up to get a wife in the future?”
“I’m saving up for Mom. I’m going to save lots and lots of money so that Mom has a big house to live in later.”
