Chelsea joined her mother in criticizing her brother. She said, “Hank, this time, no matter what, you must get a divorce. You can’t be with that wicked woman Jessica anymore. Do you know what kind of life our two families have been living after your incident?“You can’t only think about yourself and that wicked woman. You should also consider us. I was cut by that wicked woman while trying to save you. We stayed in the hospital for several days. We are siblings, but I haven’t asked you to compensate me for my medical expenses.“But you must listen to us and quickly divorce that wicked woman. And don’t issue some forgiveness statement. She stabbed you almost to death, and you still want to forgive her? What kind of forgiveness is that? Even if you flirted with her first, if she didn’t have any ideas, the two of you wouldn’t have ended up like this. It takes two to tango.“When you flirted with her, why didn’t she quit her job? Why didn’t she keep her distance from you? Instead, she e

He found Sonny’s clothes quite cool and wanted them for himself.“The kids are used to calling you Aunt Liberty now,” Chelsea said as she took the bag of apples from Liberty’s hands. “You’ve come all this way, and you even brought gifts. You’re too courteous.”She glanced at the bag and saw only apples.Considering that apples were now several bucks per pound, this bag would only cost tens of bucks. Chelsea felt that Liberty was somewhat stingy compared to her previous visit, but she still appreciated the gesture. Since this meant they had something to eat for

Lucas walked over and tried to touch the flowers.Hank quickly said, “Don’t touch them, Lucas. This bouquet was given to me by Sonny.”“Uncle Hank, the flowers are pretty. I want one too. Please give me one.”Hank could not bear to do so. He placed the bouquet on his other side to prevent his nephew from plucking the flowers. “The bouquet won’t look pretty if you pluck the flowers, Lucas. Chelsea, rinse a few apples for Liberty, Mr. Lewis, and Sonny.”Lucas stopped insisting on the flower once he heard there were apples. Next, he eyed Sonny’s clothes and touched and tugged at them. He asked Sonny, “Sonny, did Aunt Liberty buy you these new clothes? They look good. I want new clothes too.”Lucas turned to Liberty and said, “Aunt Liberty, I want new clothes that look like Sonny’s. Buy me a few sets of them.”In the past, he would have a set of everything Aunt Liberty bought for Sonny. If she did not buy it for him, his mom and grandma would scold her. Since then, Aunt Liber

Although Duncan was laughing heartily, his words embarrassed Hank again. Hank switched his tone and asked concernedly, “How’s the recovery of your legs going?”He was hoping that Duncan could never recover.Hank knew he and Liberty could never remarry because she would never look back after moving on. However, he could not stand seeing her getting married to someone else, especially when that person was Duncan.He would have felt better if Liberty were dating an ordinary man. Unfortunately, Duncan was the one wooing her, and he was better than Hank in every aspect. His only downside was his slightly older age. Nevertheless, he had not been married before. People would still think he was out of Liberty’s league because she divorced and had a child. Even if Duncan were disabled, countless women would still be queuing up to marry him as long as he was willing to get a wife. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brown. My injury is recovering well. I’m in rehabilitation now. If I perse

“I’ll let you know when I feel uncomfortable, Sonny. I won’t be hesitant to tell you.”After explaining, Duncan told Chelsea, “I’m fine, Chelsea. Sonny’s a child, but he’s very sensible. He would never sit on my lap when my legs were in pain. I’ve long been discharged from the hospital and have done rehabilitation for some time. I’m still able to hold Sonny.“Don’t scare him, Chelsea.”The Brown family did that to prevent Sonny from getting close to Duncan.However, he had spent lots of time with Sonny. It was not something that the Brown family could stop from happening as they wished.Chelsea said, “Don’t dote on Sonny so much, Mr. Lewis. You’ll spoil him rotten.”“Don’t worry. He won’t be spoiled rotten as his mom is strict with him. He knows what he can and can’t do. I like Sonny. He’s sensible and clever. Even with so many people adoring him, he never became unreasonable.”The Brown family did not feel good when they heard Duncan praising Sonny. However, they could not say

“It’s okay. My employees are experienced, and they have good character. I trust them. Besides, I’m still managing the breakfast diner in the meantime. One day when I have my restaurants all over Wiltspoon, I can hire you if I can’t handle everything myself.“There’s really no need to hire more people now. It’s a small business, so I try to save on salaries wherever possible.”Chelsea pouted. She knew Liberty was not going to hire her.

However, with her identity as Mr. York’s sister-in-law, how could her business be bad?Chelsea knew how skilled Liberty was at cooking.

After speaking, Liberty called her son, “We’re leaving, Sonny. Say goodbye to Dad.”“It’s a weekend today, Liberty. Sonny doesn’t have to go to school. Can we let him stay in the hospital for a day to accompany his dad and send him back to you tomorrow night?” Mr. Brown asked for Liberty’s permission. He wanted his grandson to stay behind. Mr. Brown did not say much, but he also felt a sense of crisis after seeing Sonny and Duncan’s overly intimate actions. He was worried Duncan would become Sonny’s stepfather. If so, they would definitely have a close relationship based on the affection they showed each other. His son, Sonny’s biological father, would be completely forgotten when that happened.It was fine if they could not get their ex-daughter-in-law back because they had hurt and bullied her in the past.
