“Thanks, Dad.”Sonny helped Olivia into her seat, then said, “I’ll go wash my hands.”By the time he returned, Jessica had already served everyone a bowl of soup.Sonny had intended to serve the elders himself, but since Jessica already did it, he thanked her and sat beside Hank. Hank was on his left while Luke was on his right. Olivia sat on Luke’s other side.“Sonny, hurry and try the chowder,” Hank said expectantly.Sonny picked up his spoon and took a sip.“How is it? Is it good? Last time, you said my soup was missing something, so I’ve been making it over and over again. Jessica got so tired of it she almost got sick, but I think I finally got it right.”Jessica added, “Sonny, you have no idea. Your grandparents and I were all afraid of soup. Your dad made this chowder every single day. He only stopped after all of us agreed that it tasted good.”The elderly couple nodded in agreement.“Your dad said you’re always so busy and use your brain so much, so he wanted to mak

Sonny turned to Luke instead. Olivia always talked about family matters, and most of her words circled back to urging him to get married.“What else could your granddad be up to? He’s just an old man. All he does is watch TV after eating, or he goes downstairs to play chess and brag with the other old men.”Luke glared at Olivia. “Playing chess is better than dancing. You ladies are always disturbing the neighbors and getting complaints.”“We only dance from seven-thirty to nine in the evening. Even if it’s noisy, it won’t affect anyone’s rest. I bet those people are just jealous that we old ladies are having fun exercising.”Olivia did indeed go dancing regularly.She was old now, and her husband had his own hobbies. She felt bored, so she joined the neighborhood dancing group.It was easy to cause a disturbance, but they kept to a schedule and almost always finished before nine o’clock at night, so they would not interfere with anyone’s rest. They would even suspend their dan

“I’m just telling the truth. What’s there to be embarrassed about? My grandson is such a young, successful, handsome, and caring man. I wonder which lucky girl will end up with you.”Olivia then asked, “Sonny, are you dating anyone? It’s time to start thinking about it. You’re not getting any younger. When your father was your age, you were already in preschool.”Sonny put down his glass of water and said, “Grandmom, I haven’t met anyone I liked yet. There’s no rush. I’ll get married before I’m thirty-five.”Olivia would ask about his love life every time he came over for dinner. He was used to it.He was already thirty-two. At his age, many men and women were married with children, yet he was still single and had never even been in a relationship before.It was no wonder the elders were worried.Those from his grandparents’ generation typically married much earlier. In their eyes, one should already be thinking about marriage once they hit their twenties. Sonny was still single

That was the only reason Jessica could enjoy such a comfortable life.At home, Luke barely did anything anymore. Everything was Jessica’s job now. Even when a sauce bottle fell over, she would ask Jessica to put it back upright.Even then, Olivia still constantly scolded Jessica for being a poisonous woman and brought up old grievances.She called Jessica a slut, saying that if it were not for Jessica inserting herself into Hank and Liberty’s marriage, Liberty would not have asked for a divorce. Then, they would now be related to the richest family in Wiltspoon by marriage, and the benefits of which were unimaginable.Hank would not have to be a ride-hailing driver, either, and possibly would have become a high-ranking executive at a large company long ago, earning a yearly income in the millions.She even regularly badmouthed Jessica in front of Sonny.Sonny listened, but did not do as his grandmother said.To him, Jessica just had to take good care of his father. If his grandp

“We’re eating together as a family. It’s enough to just throw together a few simple dishes. It’s not like I’m picky.”Sonny looked at Jessica, who felt a little awkward, then said, “Sorry to trouble you again, Jess.”“Oh, it’s no trouble at all, no trouble. I have to buy fresh ingredients to cook every day anyway, and it’s just a couple of extra dishes, so it’s no trouble at all,” Jessica hurriedly said.Ever since she had torn Chelsea a new one in Sonny’s defense, Sonny had become a little more amiable toward her.This child was a forthright one and very sensible. It was all because Liberty had taught him well.Sometimes, Jessica would think of the child she had lost. If she had successfully given birth and not lost the child while having to go to prison, the child would have been entrusted to Hank’s parents to care for. It was hard to say how they would have taught the child.Even Hank could not raise a child well.She sighed internally. She and her child simply were not writt

Sonny laughed. “Yes, yes, I’m working for myself. Alright, I really have got to go now. Talk to you later.”Then, he hung up.He had arrived at Hank’s door.He walked up to it and rang the doorbell.Very soon, his grandmother opened the door.“You’re here, Sonny.”Olivia smiled happily when she saw that it was her precious grandson. She turned to say to Luke, who was sitting on the sofa inside, “Dear, Sonny’s here.”“Grandmom.”Sonny entered their home, then greeted his grandfather.Hank and Jessica came out of the kitchen where they had been preparing dinner.Usually, the family had simple meals, not because they could not afford more luxurious food, but because everyone was getting on in years now and they were afraid of getting high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Luke had blood pressure and uric acid on the higher side, so he had to be careful about his diet.Tonight, Sonny was joining them for dinner, so Jessica had specially bought more food, while Hank had not wo

Please let’s get back to love at first sight. Stop the mess with longbottom and Carrie. This book is little on love and romance. The topic is deceptive.
I see Longbottom is going to mess the Oconners. Yorks to the rescue
Please end Carrie’s part in this book.
The book is interesting g but it has become just too little each day to continue to bother with it - the story lines are good but nothing is ever resolved. It’s too much trouble to bother with for 5-10 minutes read a day. And for the costs, I’ll probably just go to the bookstore in the future
She will be pissed for sure
Book is good keep explaining stuff we have already read so maybe don’t add so much back story since we know it and give us more story.
I like learning about the Carrie unfolding! This writer lets you into every emotional aspect
I think Serenity is going to go ballistic on Zack- and divorce his ass
I’m looking forward to hearing the facts found to Serenity
No really interesting
Was going to show up!
Got my 10 minutes of reading in for the day! We all knew Carrie (Mrs Logbottom)
good book but you only get a couple of pages a day to read you seem to treat your readers with little respect i’ve been reading to for a long while and it’s getting old not being able to read more than 2 pages book if i ever get to finish it i will not start a new one due to how they treat the read
I like the book too but writer keeps repeating what we already know.
Although, it seems like there is more than one writer already. There are quite a few inconsistencies and different manners of writing and vernacular. Again love the book!
Same old shit about Carrie, writer move on nobody gives a shit about what happens to Carrie.
Finally some exciting developments… but still reading is too short . Pls pls consider releasing more .
