Chapter 4347
“Mom, that’s something to think about later. Let’s not talk about it now,” Hank said while driving. “Sonny’s only five or six—he hasn’t even started grade school. What’s the point of discussing all that?”
“Liberty’s remarried. Whether she decides to have another child is her choice—it’s her life. We can’t control it, and we don’t need to worry about Sonny. She’s not the type to abandon him just because she has another child. Serenity will still love Sonny just the same.
All we need to do is focus on our own role and stop worrying about things we can’t control. We’ll pick up Sonny during the May Day holiday and have him stay for a couple of days. But Mom, Dad—you both need to stop saying reckless things in front of Sonny. Don’t assume he doesn’t understand—he’s smart and picks up on everything.
And please, stop running your mouths in front of my sister. Sonny is our family’s future. Her kids belong to her in-laws. My sister only looks out for herself. Haven’t you figured that out yet?”
Mrs. Brown pouted, clearly unhappy, and muttered, “I know. I just feel bad that Sonny’s an only child. He doesn’t have any brothers. I want him to bond with his cousins, build a connection. That way, they can support each other when they grow up. I don’t want him to feel alone with no one to talk to.”
Mr. Brown turned his head and shot her a glare. “Haven’t you realized what’s really going on? Lucas and the others always pick on Sonny. They treat it like a habit. Sonny doesn’t even want to hang out with them.”
