Chapter 3834

Chapter 3834 Chelsea silently cursed Hank for failing to understand the situation and not working to repair his relationship with Sonny. Instead, he had even managed to convince his parents to stop siding with her. When Chelsea thought of Sonny’s bright future—living in a big house, driving luxury cars, inheriting a major company—she couldn’t help but feel bitter. In contrast, her own children might find decent jobs but would likely only have modest, nine-to-five lives with incomes far below what Sonny might casually spend on meals. Consumed by jealousy, Chelsea felt increasingly desperate to have Lucas and Sonny build a strong brotherly bond. “Mom, why don’t we try to get custody of Sonny?” she suggested. “If Sonny lives with us, Liberty and Serenity won’t abandon him and will support the Brown family. Sonny would grow closer to us, and when he’s successful, he’d remember the Browns.” Mrs. Brown motioned for Lucas to go play, and when he had left, she knocked Chelsea on the forehead. Chelsea pulled away, but Mrs. Brown pinched her cheek, scolding her quietly, “Get those ideas out of your head. You’re only thinking about your own kids, using Sonny for their sake. Sonny is your nephew, and you’re treating him as a pawn, hoping to drag him down.” She continued, “No wonder Sonny tells Hank he doesn’t like his aunt and grandmother. I was influenced by you, talking negatively about Liberty and Duncan in front of Sonny, and now he resents me.” Chelsea defended herself. “What parent doesn’t look out for their children? Mom, you’re calling me selfish, and I admit it—I want the best for my kids. Is that wrong?” “You’re not wrong to want the best for your kids, but you shouldn’t do it by using Sonny,” Mrs. Brown replied. “If you want good lives for your children, then raise them well and teach them to be capable. Then they’ll have a better future on their own.” Mrs. Brown was firm. Hank had told her that if they kept badmouthing Sonny’s family in front of him,This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

he would speak to Liberty about changing Sonny’s last name to Lewis. Once that happened, Sonny would belong to the Lewis family, and as long as Hank didn’t require Sonny’s financial support, no one could force it. Mrs. Brown feared that if Sonny’s surname changed, he’d be lost to them. Hank had also made it clear that Sonny would have the best chance if he stayed with Liberty. If Liberty and Duncan had their own child, Sonny would still be treated well, but Duncan’s attention would naturally lean toward his own child. If Sonny was capable and respectable, Duncan would never treat him poorly. But if the Browns dragged Sonny down, Duncan might cut him off, leaving Sonny with nothing. In the end, Mrs. Brown, who had helped raise Sonny and loved him dearly, realized what was best. Sonny was her only grandson, and faced with a choice, she ultimately put his future and well-being first.
