Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3253

“Have you eaten, Dad?”

Hank replied warmly, “Not yet. I’m not hungry yet, so I’ll only eat after I’ve taken two more customers. You’ve eaten, right?”

Sonny replied, “Yeah. Aunt Ser and Jazz took me out to eat and we ran into Aunt Chel and the rest. Lucas said hi to me but, I don’t why, Aunt Chel covered his mouth. Lucas’s granddad and grandmom were there too, there were so many of them eating together. Only Aunt Ser and Jazz and Jen were with me, just the four of us.”

Hank did not pay much attention to this at first and laughed. “Oh, you ran into Aunt Chel? Did you say hi to her?”

“No,” Sonny answered honestly. “Lucas called out to me but Aunt Chel covered his mouth. Dad, what does Aunt Chel mean by that?”

Hank was silent for a moment. “Your Aunt Chel… You don’t have to mind her.”

He finally realized it. Had Chelsea been afraid that Sonny and the rest would try to join their table if she said hi and did not let Lucas talk to Sonny because of that?

Being her brother, Hank did understand her quite well.

Back when he was injured by Jessica and had to be hospitalized, the Browns had spent pretty much all of their savings. His parents’ pensions could sustain them fairly well if they lived on the outskirts, but it really was not much for living in a big city.

That was why his monthly income was split into three parts—a third went to a savings account for Sonny’s future and the rest split between his and his parents’ expenses.

When winter started, his parents often mentioned they wanted to have a good meal out, but he had not had the time and could not bear to either, feeling that it cost too much. However, Chelsea actually asked their parents for money.
