Chapter 1609
“Dunc.”
Sonny’s mannerism toward Duncan and his father, Hank, was the same.
Once Sonny saw Duncan, he shook off Liberty’s hand and scurried toward Duncan.
Hank’s expression became graver.
His parents and elder sister had always nagged him, telling him that Liberty had a pursuer. If he was not going to divorce Jessica
and go after Liberty again, Sonny’s father would be someone else.
Duncan would most likely become Sonny’s new father.
Hank knew full well that Liberty would not accept him anymore. As for Jessica, he still had feelings for her. He also felt sorry for
her.
He hurt two women because of his unfaithfulness.
Liberty was already divorced from Hank and had started her life anew. She was leading a wonderful life. He did not want to hurt
Jessica again, especially by divorcing her when she was in jail. If he did that, she would be homeless after she was released.
Ever since Jessica was arrested, her brother and sister–in–law had established boundaries with her.
Although her parents took pity on her, they could not do anything about it. They were already old and reliant on their son and
daughter–in–law to look after them.
Hank was well aware that Jessica would be left homeless if he divorced her.
Chelsea told her younger brother off for being heartless toward Liberty yet loving toward Jessica.
“Sonny.”
Duncan smiled while walking toward Sonny to carry him. After that, he lifted Sonny and turned around, making Sonny burst into
laughter.
Seeing their joyful and close interaction, the passers–by were under the impression that the two of them were father and son.
After Duncan stopped lifting Sonny and spinning him, he asked Sonny with a grin, “Are you happy?”
“Yeah.”
Sonny laughed so much that his face reddened.
Duncan loved his flushed face. Sonny looked so cute that Duncan could not help but kiss him on the cheek.
Unexpectedly, Sonny kissed Duncan back.
Duncan grinned from ear to ear.
He was overjoyed at Sonny’s response.
He decided not to wash his face tonight.
Duncan carried Sonny and walked up to Liberty. He fixed his profound gaze on Liberty and said gently,” Liberty, since you’re
shopping with Sonny, you probably need someone to carry things for you. I’m very strong, and I can help you carry.”
“Mr. Lewis, why are you here?”
Liberty’s attitude toward Duncan did not change.
She would not change her attitude just because Duncan was going after her fervently.
“I–I happened to pass by.”
Duncan would not admit that he had gone to Liberty’s place. Coincidentally, he saw Liberty taking Sonny out with the bike, so he
tailed them.
Then, he pretended to run into them.
Liberty would not buy that.
He must have come over on purpose.
However, Liberty did not expose him. She said, “Sonny wanted to go to the third floor, so I took him here to play for a while.
We’re not buying anything, so we won’t need anyone to carry things for us. Mr. Lewis, I’m sure you have other things to handle.
You may carry on with your work. Sonny, let’s go.”
She went out and ended up meeting her ex–husband as well as her courter.
Liberty felt that it was really a small world.
“Dunc, do you want to play with us?”
Liberty wanted to get rid of Duncan very badly, yet her beloved son invited him along.
Duncan answered eagerly, “Sure. I’ve gotten off work. I have plenty of free time now, so I can play with you.”
While speaking, he carried Sonny and said to Liberty, “Liberty, let’s go.”
As for Hank and Jessica, Duncan turned a blind eye to them. He was not bothered to look at them at all.
He knew that Hank was glaring at him ferociously.
The situation exasperated Hank.
Hank had only himself to blame for hurting Liberty. Because of him, Liberty stopped looking forward to love and marriage, and he
had not made any progress in his plan to win her heart again.
