Married At First Sight Chapter 3900 
Chapter 3900 
“Lucas,” Chelsea snapped at her son. “Those snacks were bought for Sonny by your uncle. Put the plate down and share with your little brother. You’re the older one—you should know how to take care of him.” 
Chelsea had always tried to teach Lucas to get along with Sonny, but her words never seemed to sink in. 
But things were different now. 
Sonny wasn’t just any kid anymore. He was the stepson of Duncan Lewis, a man of wealth and influence. His mother, Liberty, was financially secure, and his aunt Serenity was even wealthier. Sonny had earned the title of Young Master Sonny. 
He was practically a little lord. 
Chelsea had long since realized the potential benefits of having Lucas develop a strong bond with Sonny. If Lucas played his cards right and built a deep brotherly connection, he might secure a small piece of Sonny’s future fortune—a fortune that could easily provide Lucas a comfortable life. 
With this thought in mind, Chelsea strode over, grabbed the plate from Lucas’s hands, and placed it back on the coffee table. She smiled sweetly at Sonny. “Sonny, these are all for you. Go ahead and eat. Your dad bought them especially for you.” She even grabbed a handful of snacks and held them out to him. 
But Sonny shook his head politely. “Mom said I shouldn’t eat too many snacks.” 
Sonny wasn’t lacking in food. At home, he had all kinds of delicious treats. Fighting over snacks with Lucas didn’t interest him in the least. 
“Mom, I want them! I want to eat them!” Lucas whined, reaching for the snacks. 
Chelsea slapped his hand away, her irritation evident. She glared at him, her voice low and sharp. Lucas had promised to behave before they left the house. He knew how important it was to make Sonny feel welcome. 
Why can’t this boy just listen? 
Chelsea’s frustration bubbled over. Earlier, she and Hank had argued over this very issue. She had insisted that Lucas and Sonny needed to build a close brotherly relationship. Hank, however, accused her of trying to manipulate Sonny for personal gain, calling her selfish and accusing her of always putting her own interests—and those of her immediate family—above everyone else’s. 
Hank’s life had taken a sharp downturn lately. His high-paying job was long gone, his marriage had crumbled, and he was barely scraping by. He had no sympathy left for his sister, who still tried to leech off him at every opportunity. 
But Chelsea had only herself to blame. Years of Hank indulging her had fueled her sense of entitlement. Now, with the Brown family’s fortunes in decline, she clung to any chance to secure an advantage—even if it meant using Sonny. 
Realizing he’d crossed the line, Lucas slouched back, chastened. For now, he would behave. 
Still, jealousy simmered beneath the surface. 
Everyone else in the room—his grandparents, his uncle, even his own parents—was focused entirely on Sonny. They hovered around him, fussing over him and asking how he was doing, as if he were royalty. 
Lucas’s small hands clenched into fists, his face darkening. He couldn’t stand it. Why did Sonny always get all the attention? Why did everyone act like he was so special? 
It’s not fair, Lucas thought bitterly. Why does Sonny get to be the center of everyone’s world?
