Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1663
Sonny treated Duncan as his backer. That act, which showed his trust, made Duncan happy. He grinned and Liberty was
speechless.
“Dunc, Mom glared at me.”
Sonny even tattled.
Duncan lifted Sonny with a smile. He asked him, “Think about why she glared at you. I’m standing here, but she didn’t glare at
me but you. What can be the reason for this?”
Liberty walked over.
Sonny glanced at his mother and said obediently, “I played on the phone after calling Aunt Ser. Mom snatched my phone away.”
“That’s not your phone. It’s Mom’s.”
Sonny’s big eyes shone. He dared not argue over it because the phone indeed belonged to Mom.
“I asked why Mom could be on the phone, but I couldn’t. She glared at me afterward.”
Sonny’s voice gradually got softer. He knew that playing on the phone was wrong too.
Duncan said gently, “You’re still young. Being on the phone too often will hurt your eyes and cause short–sightedness. Your mom
is doing this for your own good.
“She doesn’t usually play on the phone either. She uses it to communicate with other people.”
Sonny remained silent.
After some time, he asked, “When can I play on the phone, Dunc?”
“You can have it for about ten minutes occasionally. Of course, not using it is the best. You can read or play with your Lego.
You’ve finished assembling the Lego I bought for you, right? I’ll buy a few more sets for you next time.”
Sonny nodded. “Okay.”

He wiggled and slipped to the ground from Duncan’s arms. He walked past the table back to Liberty’s side and hugged her leg.
He raised his handsome face and said, “I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t use the phone secretly anymore.”
Liberty bent down and hugged her son. “I’m not angry anymore. I forgive you.”
Sonny returned the hug. “I love you so much, Mom.”
Liberty laughed. “I love you a lot too.
“Go and play. I still have some ravioli to make.”
Liberty stood up. After glancing at her son, she continued preparing the ravioli.
As Duncan helped her, he said, “You’ve taught Sonny well.”
“A child’s education should start early. Sonny is a happy kid with so many people doting on him. If
I don’t teach him in time, he’ll become a spoiled child.”
Duncan smiled and said, “Sonny is adorable and affable. Everyone’s drawn to him naturally once they see him and shower him
with love. However, we’ll also correct him and educate him if he makes a mistake. Don’t worry. We won’t spoil him rotten.”
Liberty looked toward him and smiled without saying a word.
The people around her were financially wealthy and well–educated. They were extremely well- mannered.
They did dote on Sonny but did not spoil him.
Ring, ring...
Duncan’s phone rang.
He finished trimming a few ravioli before taking his phone out to pick up the call.
“Where did you go again, Duncan?”
Mrs. Lewis’s inquisitive tone resounded from the phone.
