Serenity and Zachary York



When the fight for the house was ongoing, the Howdens gave up on Lisa's inheritance and passed it all to Liberty and Serenity. After that, Serenity sent some gifts over to the Howdens.

That was the last of their interaction.

Lisa had lost a lot of memories, probably from being transferred from family to family countless times when she was young. It could have been selective amnesia.

Serenity and Liberty were mature enough to stop asking their mother about her past after she had refused several times to recall or talk about it.

However, Serenity had always been curious about her mother's younger days.

Before Lisa was three or four years old, she was a happy kid.

Patrick jogged his memory. He said, “Ms. Lisa was honey-tongued. She looked adorable. Sonny is like a replica of the young Ms. Lisa. Everyone loved her.

"Although she was a troublemaker, everyone couldn't bear to scold her because it was a child's nature. On the other hand, Ms. Audrey wasn't as eloquent. Ms. Lisa truly made people have the urge to hug her and give her kisses."

However, such a cute child grew up and passed away at a young age due to the harsh life that followed her family's tragedy.

Lisa was a heavy topic.

Grandma May shifted their attention to something else. She asked, "Can we eat now, Audrey? I came early on an empty stomach. I'm starving now." Audrey sensed Grandma May's intention. Lisa's premature death would always be painful for her.

"Yes. Let's go and eat."

Audrey said gently, "You've been sleeping the whole day and haven't eaten anything, Uncle True. Please eat something before playing with Sonny later."

Patrick collected his wandering thoughts and replied, "Let's eat first then."

He lowered his head and told

"We're going to eat now, Sonny, Can

you eat by yourself? Do yo

the

adults to feed you?"

Sonny immediately straightened his back and said, "I started eating by myself long ago, Great-grandpa True. I don't need someone to feed me. The teachers at preschool praised me for eating on my own. Some of the kids in my class eat very slowly. They always need the teachers to feed them.

"Mom and Aunt Ser always tell me to do everything myself. I have to fill my own stomach."

Patrick laughed upon hearing Sonny's words.

"You're doing great, Sonny!"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

It was obvious why this child was loved by many-he was clever and thoughtful, yet still innocent.

Patrick put Sonny down and held his hand. Sonny grasped Patrick's hand tightly too.

The old and young duo walked together slowly.

Sonny would remind Patrick occasionally, "Slow down, Great-grandpa True. The floor is slippery."

"Hold my hand tightly, Sonny."

Patrick teased him.

Even Patrick was obsessed with Sonny despite having only interacted with him briefly. He wanted the boy to be with him every day. “Okay. I'll hold your hand tightly."

Everyone watched Patrick and Sonny.

Silver nudged Sugar and gestured at her to look at Patrick and Sonny as well.
