“I’ll talk to my parents. The past is in the past. Besides, it wasn’t just your fault. I was at fault too. In fact, the biggest mistake was mine.“You were young back then and had little life experience. That was why I was able to fool you so easily. I was the one who was unfaithful in my marriage. I ruined your life as well as my own.“We both paid the price for the mistakes we made in our youth, so stop dwelling on the past and move forward. It’s enough as long as we can enjoy a peaceful old age together.”Thinking back on those years made Jessica’s eyes redden. She had also hoped to settle down in the big city through marriage. She had been attracted by Hank’s high income and the apartment he owned in Wiltspoon.Even when the property prices fell, the apartment they lived in barely lost value because of its location and proximity to good schools.When Liberty divorced Hank, she smashed up all the renovations. After Jessica married into the family, they renovated the place again

After dinner, the two elders asked Sonny to accompany them downstairs for a walk.Sonny agreed.He did not have any plans that evening, so he had the time. Taking a walk with his grandparents would also give him a chance to relax.He had been working nonstop and had not truly relaxed in a long time.Hank also wanted to join them, but the dishes were not done yet, so he stayed with Jessica to clean up.“Hank, you should go with them. I’ll handle things here,” Jessica said thoughtfully.“It’s rare that Sonny has time to spend with you. He’s leaving on another business trip soon, and then he’s flying to Havenmill. Who knows when he’ll be back.“The next time he has time to go on walks with you will probably be during New Year’s, but then his mother will come as well, and he’ll be visiting his aunt’s family to spend time with his cousins. He won’t have much time then either.”Every Christmas and New Year’s, Sonny would only spend a few days with the Browns. He never had festive mea

“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
