Chapter 3395

In their dispute over the house, Mr. and Mrs. Howden declared they would forfeit their adopted daughter’s inheritance, opting instead to leave everything to their two granddaughters. Subsequently, Serenity sent some gifts to the Howden family.

That’s all there is to it.

Due to the multiple adoptions she experienced as a child, Serenity’s mother lost many of her memories, a phenomenon Serenity suspected was selective forgetting.

Both Serenity and Liberty were quite understanding. They inquired about their mother’s childhood once or twice, but when she showed reluctance to discuss her past, the sisters decided not to press further.

Serenity had a particular desire to learn about her mother’s early years, recalling that before the age of three or four, her mother had been a very happy child.

Old Mr. Jimenez seemed to drift into nostalgia, saying, “Ms. Harlow is so sweet and adorable. Seeing Sonny now is like glimpsing Miss Harlow as a child; she was cherished by everyone. Despite often getting into trouble, no one ever wanted to reprimand her. That’s the essence of being a child. Miss Audrey, on the other hand, isn’t as charming as her sister, but she certainly evokes a desire to hug her, kiss her, and care for her deeply.”

She was such an enchanting child, but due to significant upheavals in her family life, her fate took a tragic turn, leading to her untimely death.

Harlow: This topic felt quite heavy.

The elderly woman shifted the conversation, asking Audrey, “Is it time to eat? I came here early and now I’m quite hungry.”

Audrey understood the old lady’s implication; the loss of her sister Harlow weighed heavily on her heart as well.

“It’s time to eat; let’s have a meal first,” Audrey gently suggested to Old Mr. Jimenez. “Uncle Jimenez, you’ve been sleeping all day without eating. You should have something to eat before taking Sonny out to play for a bit.”

Old Mr. Jimenez snapped back to the present, responding kindly, “Then let’s go eat.”

“Let’s eat first,” he suggested. He lowered his head to speak to Sonny, who was in his arms. “Sonny, let’s go eat. Can you manage by yourself, or do you want an adult to feed you?”

Sonny immediately sat up straight and replied, “Great Grandpa, I could eat by myself a long time ago! I don’t need to be fed. I eat on my own at kindergarten, and my teacher praises me for being great! Some kids in my class eat very slowly and always need the teacher to feed them. My mom and aunt often tell me to do my own things and feed myself.”

Old Mrs. Jimenez found Sonny’s words amusing.

“Sonny is amazing!”

There’s a reason why everyone adores Sonny—he is smart, sensible, and still retains his childlike innocence.

Old Mr. Jimenez set Sonny down and took hold of his small hand, which Sonny gripped tightly in return.

The two of them, one old and one young, walked slowly together.

Sonny occasionally reminded him, “Great Grandpa, go slower; be careful of the slippery floor.”

“Sonny, hold on to great grandpa,” Old Mr. Jimenez teased.

It’s no wonder that old friends encourage their apprentices to marry and have children; spending time with grandchildren is truly joyous.

As Old Mr. Jimenez bonded with Sonny, he found himself enamored with the little boy and wished he could have him on his lap every day.

Sonny chimed in, “Well, I’ll hold Grandpa back.”

Everyone watched the heartwarming scene of the old man and the child.

Ezequiel, the silver fox, gently touched the cute baby beside him and signaled for the child to look at the pair.
