Ch. 5218: Married At First Sight Chapter 5218

Chapter 5218

The elderly couple insisted they didn’t need his help, but they were clearly pleased by the gesture.

Sonny led them back to his office, personally poured them water, and set out snacks and fruit suitable for seniors.

After tasting one, Grandma Brown praised it as delicious.

“Grandma, since you like it, I’ll pack some for you to take home later,” Sonny said. “But don’t eat too much at once. The snacks are sweet, and it’s easy for an elderly person’s blood sugar to rise.”

“I know,” Grandma Brown replied. “I only eat one a day.”

“Sonny, don’t believe her,” Grandpa Brown cut in. “She’ll finish it all in one day. If she likes something, she can’t save it. She’s like a mouse that can’t keep food overnight.”

“…”

Grandma Brown looked awkward. “I don’t know why, but the older I get, the more I feel like a child. I just want snacks.”

They were both very old, and one of them was already nearing the end of life. Grandma Brown didn’t want to deny herself food anymore—being able to eat felt like a blessing.

“Grandpa,” Sonny said with a small smile, “you’ll have to keep an eye on Grandma. Don’t let her eat too much.”

He sat across from them, asking questions with genuine concern.

After a while, Grandma Brown couldn’t help herself.

“Sonny… hasn’t your mother come back?”

Sonny answered, “Livia has graduated from university. My mother wants her to learn how to manage family affairs and company responsibilities, so she needs to stay and teach her. Unless something important happens, she won’t be coming back.”

Lewis & Co. had expanded significantly in Jensburg, and his stepfather Duncan often stayed there as well.

“My aunt flies to Jensburg a lot too,” Sonny added.

The person his mother cared about most was Aunt Serenity. Serenity traveled often, so the sisters could spend time together. Unless something urgent came up, his mother returned to Wiltspoon far less frequently now.

Grandma Brown sighed. “Your mother can’t only worry about Livia. She should worry about your marriage too. Ever since Livia was born, it feels like she favors her more. You’re over thirty and still single—doesn’t your mother worry?”

Grandma Brown’s feelings toward Liberty were complicated. She was grateful—Liberty had raised Sonny into someone the Brown family could be proud of. But she also believed Liberty doted more on her daughter. Once Sonny became an adult, Liberty had largely let him make his own choices.

She could have arranged a smoother, brighter path for him.

His career was thriving—Sonny was capable, running multiple companies successfully. That wasn’t a concern.

But marriage was different.

Was Liberty truly not worried at all?

“Sonny,” Grandma Brown continued, “don’t focus only on making money. No one can earn it all. You’re successful, you have an excellent career, and you’re outstanding in every way. It’s time to find a good woman and settle down.

Your grandpa and I are old. We don’t know how much time we have left. We want to hold our great-grandchild while we’re still alive. You’re our only grandson, so that hope rests on you.”

Grandma Brown often told herself she had no right to interfere, but in front of Sonny, she couldn’t stop herself from nagging.

“Grandma,” Sonny said firmly, “my mom isn’t biased. She treats my sister and me equally. My sister will inherit her role in the future—that’s the Farrell family rule. I don’t have the Farrell surname, so it has nothing to do with me. I don’t need to take over her work.”

Sonny didn’t like hearing his grandmother accuse his mother of favoritism.
