Chapter 1608
After moving closer, Liberty got a better sight of Jessica.Jessica had thinned down a lot. She had a dull complexion and was dressed in loose clothes. Only those who were sharp-eyed could tell that she was pregnant.“Let’s go, Hank,” Jessica said to her husband.Currently, she disliked seeing Hank being close to Sonny. She was afraid that if they got very close, Hank would not take care of her child wholeheartedly.Regardless of whether she gave birth to a son or daughter, the Browns would surely be biased toward Sonny.Jessica had to continue serving her sentence in the future, so she would not be able to watch her child grow. If her child turned out to be a girl who failed to please the family, who would know how much the child would suffer when Jessica was not by her side? Therefore, Hank was the child’s support.Sonny was a lot more fortunate than Jessica’s child.With so many people loving and supporting Sonny, there was no need to worry that he would suffer. “Sonny, w

“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 h

“Sonny.“Sonny.”Something seemed to be wrong with Hank. He kept shouting his son’s name as he strode toward his son.“Sonny, I’ll play with you.”Hank hurriedly caught up with Duncan and blocked him.He stretched out his hand to snatch Sonny over.Sonny was Hank’s son!He shared the same surname as Hank, namely Brown!He had nothing to do with Duncan at all. There was no need for Duncan to play with Sonny.Sonny’s biological father was here!“Sonny, let Dad play with you, okay?”As Hank asked Sonny, his eyes were fixed on Duncan. He purposely stressed the word “Dad”.Hank would forever be Sonny’s father!If Duncan wanted to be Sonny’s father, he could dream on!Hank failed to stop Duncan from going after his ex-wife. After all, he was still married to Jessica. What was more, Jessica was pregnant with his child, which meant he could not divorce her at this point.If Liberty wanted to remarry, she had the freedom to do so.Besides feeling annoyed, there was really nothin

Liberty watched the situation indifferently.Jessica was faking it, yet Hank could not see through it?Perhaps it was because Hank was concerned about Jessica and her baby.Soon, Hank left with Jessica by car.He did not even bid goodbye to Liberty and the rest.Liberty and Duncan wished Hank could quickly leave.However, Sonny was dejected.Hank said he would play with Sonny. However, once Jess said she was unwell, Hank instantly ignored him and left with Jess.“Mom.”Sonny walked toward Liberty. He extended his hands to ask for a hug from Liberty.Liberty carried him. Seeing his dejected look, she fell quiet for a moment before explaining on Hank’s behalf.“Sonny, Jess isn’t feeling well, and your dad is worried about her. He had to send her to the hospital for a check-up, and that’s why he can’t play with you. It’s not because he doesn’t want to play with you or he doesn’t love you.”Duncan’s lips twitched. He felt that Hank did not love Sonny dearly.Hank loved Jessica

“It’s on the third floor, huh? There’s a lot of food on the first floor. Do you want to buy something to eat?”Sonny shook his head.Currently, he was not keen on eating or playing.With Aunt Ser around, he had all kinds of good food.Upon noticing that Sonny was not interested in buying things, Duncan took him straight to the third floor of the mall.On the third floor, the kids’ playground occupied one side whereas the other was a fashion store. When some parents came here to buy shoes, they would drop their children off at the playground and leave them to play there. There was an entrance fee with staff members keeping an eye on the kids. The kids would not run out unless they wanted to stop playing.Even if they wanted to run out, the staff members would not allow the kids to do so without the presence of their parents.Therefore, the parents would feel at ease. By placing their children at the playground, they could shop around the mall freely without being annoyed by the

Liberty did not believe that Mrs. Lewis would randomly pass by somewhere near her rented house. Surely, Mrs. Lewis came to meet her on purpose.She took a glimpse of her son who was having fun. Then, she turned her eyes to Duncan and said, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m outside now. It’ll take time for me to return.”“Oh, you’re out? Are you alone?” Mrs. Lewis asked patiently.She did not know Liberty’s number. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis deliberately went to All You Can Eat and jotted down Liberty’s number from the signboard.“I’m on the third floor of Gloria Mall with my son. There’s an indoor playground, and Sonny enjoys playing here. We bumped into Mr. Lewis at the entrance of the mall, so he’s here as well.”When Mrs. Lewis heard that her son pretended to create the encounter to be involved with Liberty, her face turned grim.However, she was not angry at Liberty. After suppressing her anger, she said to Liberty, “Liberty, since Duncan is there, you can have him look after Sonny. We’ll… find a p

Liberty wished she could keep a distance from Duncan all the time. Nevertheless, he always used Sonny as an excuse, which left her feeling helpless.“You deserve it. It serves you right. You rejected Lily who’s interested in you and wants to get into a relationship with you, but you like Liberty instead. You know full well that Liberty has no feelings for you, yet you shamelessly pester her in spite of your status.”Mrs. Lewis did not take pity on his son for going through a hard time pursuing Liberty.She even hoped that Liberty would persist in treating her son the same way so he would eventually give up.“Mom, I have no feelings for Ms. Harmon. I simply like Liberty.”“Tell me in what way Liberty is better than Lily,” Mrs. Lewis asked her son huffily.The kid really made Mrs. Lewis’s blood boil.“Ms. Harmon and Liberty have their own qualities; everyone’s positive traits differ.”Duncan was not averse to Lily, but he knew that she was not his cup of tea.Lily was a career w

By the time Liberty arrived at the destination set by Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis was already waiting for her.She parked her e-bike and removed the helmet. She walked up to Mrs. Lewis and greeted her politely, “Hi, Mrs. Lewis.”Although Mrs. Lewis had a row with her son and was furious at him, she remained well-mannered in front of Liberty and gently acknowledged her greeting.“Let’s go in and take a seat.”Mrs. Lewis invited Liberty in.Liberty nodded and followed behind Mrs. Lewis. Mr. Lewis did not tag along. His wife ordered him to stay in the car, and he was not allowed to leave.Mrs. Lewis found a table in a corner to sit at, which was away from other customers. It was also quiet enough for her to speak to Liberty. She did not have to worry about other people overhearing their conversation.Once Liberty was seated, Mrs. Lewis hailed a waiter over to order a glass of fruit juice for herself. Since it was nighttime, she did not want to drink coffee.“Liberty, what would you l
