Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 602
Hank had only pulled his mother up when his sister went weak at the knees once more. Hank was in a dilemma as he had to
hold his sister up too.
He told them not to mess with Liberty, but his family refused to listen and went against his wishes anyway. Hank simply could not
get a moment of peace.
Hank had been taking a lot of heat at the office, and work had been hanging over his head. His boss did not look too pleased
when Hank ditched work to come here.
He believed that at this rate, his family would cost him the over one million bucks he gave to Liberty to keep his job.
Likely spooked by the drama, Sonny clung to his mother’s neck without staring at his grandmother and aunt.
Duncan happened to stand in his line of vision.
As Duncan stood behind Liberty, Sonny’s eyes met Duncan with his head resting over his mother’s shoulder.
Sonny left quite an impression on Duncan. Although Duncan was a crude burly man, he loved children.
The boy was as cute as a button.
Duncan reached out to stroke Sonny’s head, but the latter cried in fear, “Mommy! Mommy!”
While settling her son down, Liberty noticed Duncan’s outreached arm awkwardly frozen midair.
“I–I thought your son was adorable, so I wanted to stroke him. He seems scared of me,” Duncan explained while awkwardly
withdrawing his arm.
Liberty soothed her son. “This is Mr. Lewis, Sonny. He’s not a bad man. Don’t be scared.”
Sonny could not shake the fear. To shy away from Duncan, Sonny put his hands out and asked anxiously for Serenity, “Ant Swer,
huggies! Ant Swer, huggies!”
Serenity took him over.
Feeling sorry, Liberty said to Duncan, “Sonny had gotten a nasty shock before, Mr. Lewis. He’s scared of strangers now.”

Duncan was not going to be hung up about it with a child. “It’s okay. I did scare your son after all.”
The little guy was afraid of him the last few times they met too.
Mr. Brown and George made it to the station.
The Browns dished out all kinds of apologies and promises.
They were willing to pay for the damages in hopes Liberty would let go of the matter.
With the police mediating and helping to reach a reconciliation, Liberty agreed to let the matter slide in the end.
Nevertheless, she requested Mrs. Brown and her daughter to put their promise in writing, apologize, and pay for Liberty’s
medical bills and emotional distress. Liberty added that the compensation had to come out of the mother and daughter’s pockets.
Hank was not allowed to pay on behalf of his mother.
The mother and daughter would only feel the pain if it was their money.
Since Liberty made the call, and the Browns were family to Sonny, the Stones and Serenity did not give their two cents.
After leaving the station, Liberty apologetically said to Mrs. Stone, “I can’t go to your place looking like this, Aunt Audrey. I’m
going to take Sonny home.”
“Aunt Audrey, I’ll drive my sister home.”
With all that had happened, Serenity was not in the mood to have dinner at the Stones‘ place.
Mrs. Stone was understanding. “Okay. You should head back. It’s Friday tomorrow. I’ll pick you up on the weekend. You can stay
over at my place.”
The sisters did not decline Mrs. Stone’s invitation.
Once the Stones and the Hunt sisters were gore, Mrs. Brown emerged from the police with her son’s assistance.
“Mom, Chelsea, stop giving Liberty a hard time. We’re divorced. She and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Although
we’re not happy with what she did, we were in the wrong, to begin with.
“Can’t you leave me in peace? I’ve been up to my neck in work, but you won’t let me catch a breath.”

Holding her son’s hands tightly, Mrs. Brown uttered hastily, “Hank, you shouldn’t have divorced! You shouldn’t have! Liberty has
an aunt whose family business is the Stone Group. Win her heart back and remarry her!”
Hank and Jessica were at a loss for words.
