Love at First Novel

Chapter 3833

Chapter 3833 Hank’s parents had always favored Chelsea, a bias that wasn’t new and unlikely to change. Mr. Brown had softened slightly; when he learned that Serenity was the York family’s eldest daughter, he regretted agreeing to Hank’s marriage to Jessica. After everything that had happened, he believed Liberty was the only one truly suitable for Hank. But it was too late; there was no going back for Hank. Chelsea returned to her parents’ home with Lucas. As she stepped inside, she spoke to her mother, who was relaxing on the sofa watching TV, “Mom, I heard that Liberty and Duncan are getting married soon. The Lewis family is already preparing for the wedding. Once Liberty comes back from Jensburg, she’ll probably get a marriage certificate with Duncan.” Mrs. Brown’s expression remained cold. “It was bound to happen. Why do you keep bringing her up? Even if she’s becoming a part of the wealthy Lewis family, it has nothing to do with us. Hank is still tied to that vile Jessica. I’ve told him to divorce her, but he won’t listen. I don’t know what kind of spell she’s cast on him. She nearly killed him, yet he refuses to leave her.” Mrs. Brown didn’t believe Hank still had any love for Jessica. She felt his resistance to divorce was because he didn’t want to give them false hope, making them think they could push him toward Liberty again. Chelsea continued, “Mom, if Liberty marries into the Lewis family as their fourth daughter-in-law and Sonny lives with her, do you think he’ll change his last name to Lewis? If he doesn’t, then the Lewis family’s wealth won’t benefit him. But if he does inherit part of their estate, even if it’s only a fraction, it’ll be a substantial amount. Sonny is still my nephew and your grandson. If he has money, it could improve our lives. We can’t ask Liberty for money ourselves, but Sonny is different. He’s family. “Mom, why don’t you bring Sonny to stay with us for a few days? I even brought Lucas along so the two boys can spend time together and bond.” Mrs. Brown stared at her daughter thoughtfully before responding, “Hank had a long talk with me© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

and your father the other night. He told us not to keep scheming around Sonny or trying to use him to get money. He said it could harm Sonny’s development, both physically and mentally. “Sonny is only three or four years old. As his grandmother, I want what’s best for him. Hank’s words made me think. We missed out on Liberty, and that’s our fault. We can’t blame anyone else, and we have to live with that. Liberty is fortunate to have found a way into a wealthy family.” It was their family’s loss, she thought, as they had driven away a good daughter-in-law, thinking Hank would be happier with Jessica. Who would have guessed it would turn out like this? “Who could have imagined Serenity’s sudden marriage would be to the eldest son of the York family, worth billions?” Chelsea pushed further. “But, Mom, we can’t just sit back and do nothing. Liberty is one thing, but Sonny is still part of the Brown family. If we don’t build a bond with him now, he might not consider us family when he grows up. Soon, he’ll be seen as the Lewis family’s grandson. Duncan treats him as his own, and with his wealth, Sonny could inherit a fortune—even if Duncan and Liberty have their own child. This could be our one chance to improve our situation. Don’t you think we should take it?” Chelsea continued, “Mom, Sonny is your only grandson, while you have three grandchildren. Sonny has a promising future, but his cousins might not be as fortunate. How can you bear to see Sonny living in luxury while his cousins have nothing? Even if my husband and I work our whole lives, we’ll never match the wealth of the Lewis family.”
