Chapter 1156
Sonny was Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s true grandson.
When they returned to their rented house, they saw their son and daughter-in-law watching TV. Their expressions did not look good.
“Dad, Mom, didn’t you pick Sonny up?”
Hank stood up and turned toward his parents. He asked that question when he did not see
his son.
Jessica walked over too. She said, “I organized the smaller room and decorated it into a kid’s room. I bought a lot of toys for Sonny too. Why didn’t you pick him up?”
Jessica had received a lock of hair and a note from an unknown woman. On it was written that the hair belonged to her mother. It also asked her to carry out the plan as soon as possible and bring Sonny to crowded places like the zoo or a children’s park.
If she did not follow that woman’s instructions, the next item sent to her would be two of her mother’s fingers.
Jessica was terrified.
She counted on her in-laws to bring Sonny back, but they failed.
How could she put her plan into action?
Mr. and Mrs. Brown went to sit on the sofa. Mrs. Brown said, “Liberty didn’t stop us, but she said we could take Sonny only if he agreed to leave with us. If he disagreed, we couldn’t force him.
“Naturally, Sonny refused to follow us back.”
Hank followed his parents and sat on the sofa. Upon listening to his mother’s words, he said, “Who asked you guys to care for and love Chelsea’s children only in the past? You didn’t even help to raise your grandson. That’s why Sonny isn’t close to you two.”
Jessica thought that even if they could not get Sonny to come over for a stay, she could still carry out her plan as long as Sonny was willing to play with Hank and her.
“Sonny said that he’ll go if his mom is going too. Liberty runs a breakfast business, which only takes up her morning. She can accompany Sonny in the afternoon. If you two really want to take Sonny to the zoo, you can pick Sonny and Liberty up after lunch.”
Jessica did not want Liberty to come along.
If Liberty were present, it would not be easy for the people to make their move.
While Hank would probably be careless and sometimes neglectful as a father, Liberty was definitely more careful as the mother. She would hug Sonny tightly to her in crowded places. It would not be easy to do anything.
“If Liberty comes along, Sonny will refuse to get close to us even more,” Jessica muttered as she glanced at her husband. Her meaning was clear. She did not want Hank and Liberty to have a chance to go out together.
Mr. Brown said, “If you think having Liberty around isn’t good, we’ll come with you tomorrow afternoon. Your mom and I have been living in the city for so long, but we’ve never gone out to have fun. We can have a family outing and relax.”
