Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

"Go ahead," Sonny said, choosing to answer Hank's call.
Serenity handed him the phone, avoiding a conversation with Hank if possible.
"Dad," Sonny greeted.
Hank responded with a smile, "Sonny, aren't you in bed yet?"
Sonny replied, "If I were in bed, I couldn't answer your call. Are you still at work, Dad? It sounds noisy there."
"I'm still at work, but I can leave if I want to. Is your aunt there?" Hank asked.
"Yes, Dad. Are you looking for my aunt?" Sonny inquired.
"Sonny, do you want to come stay with us for a few days during your winter vacation? Your grandparents miss you," Hank suggested, hoping to convince Serenity to let Sonny visit the Browns.
Hank's parents were eager to see their grandchildren. His sister, Chelsea, had sent Lucas over, and it was boring for Lucas to be alone. They wanted Sonny to come and keep Lucas company, fostering a bond between the cousins. They hoped Sonny would eventually support Lucas.
Sonny refused, "Dad, I miss you and Grandpa and Grandma too, but I'm going on a trip tomorrow to visit Titus. I won't be back until Mom returns from her vacation, and then it will be the New Year. I can come back for dinner then."
Sonny didn't want to stay at the Browns' house. He wasn't close to his paternal relatives and disliked them more as he grew older.
"Is that so? Alright then. Have fun and listen to your aunt," Hank conceded, not forcing the issue.
