Chapter 1263
Liberty did not care that her ex–husband was not living a good life after their divorce.
All that mattered was that she was happy.
At four in the morning, she woke her son up and brought him to All You Can Eat.
Another busy day began.
Sonny was still small and fell asleep along the way.
When they reached the store, Liberty put two chairs together to let her son sleep on them, and a few more chairs on his sides to
prevent him from rolling over and falling to the
ground.
The two assistants she hired came to work at six in the morning.
Usually, the breakfast rush hour would be from half–past six to half–past nine.
Serenity would come to pick up her nephew at seven.
Sonny would be awake by that time.
The little man was such a good boy and did not cry after waking up. He sat by himself at the cashier, playing with the set of
blocks that he had not assembled yet.
“Liberty.”
Serenity called out to her sister as she entered. She lent a hand when she saw it was a full
house at the diner.
“Did Zachary go to work?”
Serenity hummed and quickly grabbed a bowl for a customer.
“Liberty, has Sonny eaten?”
Liberty said, “Not yet. I was going to make him some pancakes, but we ran out of batter. Serenity, help me prepare another
batch.”
She only made pancakes when there were orders for them, but she would prepare the
batter in advance.
Serenity hummed.
Duncan entered at that moment.
“Liberty, Serenity.”
Duncan came in and greeted them, then looked around the store and smiled. “There are no empty seats.”
“Mr. Lewis, do you want to pack the food and bring it to eat in the office? Or you could wait
for a table.”
Duncan said, “I’m not in a rush. I’ll wait.”
Then, he walked to Sonny.
“Dunc.”
Sonny was elated to see Duncan.
Duncan was flattered by the little boy’s glee.
“Hey, Sonny.”
When Duncan saw that Sonny was happy, he reached out to carry the boy.
However, Sonny said, “Dunc, help me put together the blocks. I don’t know how to piece them. My dad doesn’t know either.”
Duncan withdrew his hands. He went around the counter to pick him up instead and sat on a chair before placing Sonny on his
lap.
“Your dad? When did your dad come?”
Hank could not stand it when his son mentioned Duncan, and likewise for Duncan. His nerves could not help but tense up when
he heard Sonny bring up Hank.
Sonny said, “Dad came over last night. He bought me clothes, snacks, and toys. I asked. him to help me piece the blocks, but he
couldn’t do it.”
Duncan’s dark eyes flickered at those words. Did Hank learn how to coax his son now?
In the past, Hank was only willing to pay half the amount of the baby formula Liberty bought for Sonny.
“Your dad is too dumb and doesn’t know how to play with Lego. I’ll teach you.”
Duncan spoke warmly as he held Sonny and taught the little one how to assemble the plastic bricks. He asked softly, “Did your
dad say anything to your mom when he came
over?”
“Dad gave her a card. Dunc, let me tell you something.”
Sonny spoke in a hushed tone. After glancing at Liberty twice and making sure that she was not looking at him, he whispered to
Dunc, “My mom said that she and my dad are divorced.”
Duncan nodded. “Yes, your parents are divorced, and your dad remarried.”
