“How could we favor Lucas? Sonny is our only grandson, and we love him dearly. In the past, we took care of Lucas and Sonny more, and we formed a deeper bond with them, which led to favoring Lucas. I promise that won’t happen again.”
Mrs. Brown quickly assured. She knew Hank harbored resentment towards them.
They had always favored Chelsea, which caused issues.
Especially last time, when Chelsea’s family tried to trick Serenity into paying for a lavish meal. When that failed, Chelsea called Mrs. Brown, who unknowingly paid the bill. Sonny had revealed the truth.
When Hank found out, he was furious with his parents and warned them that if they continued to favor Chelsea, they would have to move in with her, and he would stop supporting them financially.
Hank, who drove a sports car daily, didn’t earn as much as he used to. His monthly income was a fraction of his previous annual million-plus earnings, so they couldn’t afford to keep giving money to Chelsea.
“Sonny doesn’t like playing with Lucas. Don’t talk about them developing a brotherly relationship anymore. It’s nonsense. Chelsea only wants my son to help Lucas in the future because she sees that Sonny is doing well now.
Look at what Chelsea did to Liberty. Lucas tries to bully Sonny and snatch his toys whenever he sees him. What kind of brotherly relationship is that?”
Even though Sonny no longer allowed himself to be bullied by Lucas and knew how to resist successfully, Hank grew angrier thinking about it and became increasingly dissatisfied with Lucas.
Hank said, “If Chelsea hadn’t constantly badmouthed Liberty to you and caused trouble, maybe Liberty and I wouldn’t have divorced.”
Mrs. Brown whispered, “You divorced because you disliked Liberty for getting fat and ugly after giving birth to Sonny and cheated on her. Now you blame us. If you had protected Liberty a little, we wouldn’t have dared to be so presumptuous.
Haven’t you heard that a husband’s attitude towards his wife sets the tone for his family’s attitude? If a husband protects his wife, her in-laws won’t dare to mistreat her. But if he doesn’t respect or protect her, they will treat her poorly.”
Hank was speechless.
“Since you’re back, go to bed early. Have breakfast tomorrow before going out. Don’t leave too early. The money you earn now is not even a fifth of what you used to make. I’m going to bed too.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
