“Let’s go. I’ll send you to Aunt Ser’s house.”
Liberty rose to her feet and held her son’s hand once again. She was going to send him to her sister’s place.
“Okay.”
Sonny was used to waking up in Serena’s house every day.
Liberty wanted to head to Zack’s hilltop villa, but she stopped riding her e–bike due to insufficient battery. If the battery ran out during her ride, it would be troublesome.
She decided to drive her new car and send her son to the hilltop villa.
Serena just ended her call with Jasmine.
Jasmine easily agreed with the increase in investment and purchase of land to build an office. She said, “Seren, I have complete trust in you and Elisa. Once you both make a decision, you can just inform me. I’m totally fine with it.”
Serena had known Jasmine for over ten years. They were so close that they did not mind sharing the same pants.
Elisa was the rich young lady of the Stones. She was nice and she was also Serena’s cousin. Jasmine was not worried that Elisa would trick a business partner like her.
“Missus.”
Sam walked over and said to Serena, “Missus, Ms. Hunt is here.”
Serena acknowledged Sam before she stood up and walked away.
Just as she stepped out of the house, she met Liberty and Sonny.
“Liberty,” Serena called out. Then, she carried her nephew and kissed him on the cheek.
Sonny was always close with Serena. After Serena kissed him, he openly kissed her back.
Soon, a strong arm wrapped around Serena.
Sonny had not seen Zack’s face because Sonny’s head was pressed against his shoulder once Zack hugged Serena.
Amid Sonny’s confusion, he heard Serena say to Zack, “Sonny is here.”
Zack did not know that Sonny was present.
By the time Sonny caught sight of Zack’s handsome face, he noticed that Serena was blushing.
Sonny blinked his big eyes, not knowing what was happening.
When he kissed Serena just now, Serena was not blushing as red as a tomato.
“Sonny, let me tell you something.”
Just now, Zack planted a few kisses on Serena’s face to remove the kissing marks Sonny left. What a domineering man!
When Zack came out and saw Sonny kissing Serena’s face, he was actually jealous of the three–year–old kid.
Zack carried Sonny into the house while speaking to him.
“What do you want to tell me?”
A look of curiosity washed over Sonny’s face.
Then, Zack gave him a lengthy lecture.
Sonny was at a loss for words.
He could not understand most of Zack’s words. However, he managed to grasp one point, namely that he should not always kiss his aunt’s face since he was a boy.
However, Serena was his aunt.
Even Serena could kiss his face.
In the end, Sonny thought, ‘The adult world is so complicated.‘
What Zack said to Sonny left Serena feeling speechless. She had no choice but to say to her husband, “Babe, take Sonny upstairs for a shower.”
“Okay.”
Zack took Sonny upstairs and said to him, “I’ll help you shower tonight.”
“I want to bring along my toys for a shower.”
“You can take your water gun.”
“Alright.”
H
While heading upstairs, the two of them were negotiating with each other.
Liberty said to Serena, “Zack is going to spoil Sonny.”
“No, he won’t. Although he pampers Sonny, he has his principles. He won’t spoil him all the time. You taught Sonny very well, and you don’t pamper him. He knows what he can and can’t do.”
Right now, Sonny was greatly loved.
Both the Stones and the Yorks loved him very much.
“Do you have sormething to tell me?”
Serena’s eyes settled on Liberty.
“Mrs. Lewis asked me out tonight, and we had a talk.”
Liberty did not need to hide anything in front of her sister.
Serena would discuss things with her and ask for her opinion, and so would Liberty.
“Did Mrs. Lewis ask you to stay away from Mr. Lewis by giving you a check worth millions of dollars?”
Liberty glared at her sister.
Serena laughed. “This is the typical plot in TV dramas.”
She was not at all worried that her sister would suffer a loss when meeting Mrs. Lewis.
“Mrs. Lewis said a lot of things to me. She’s hoping that I’ll cancel the tenancy agreement for All You Can Eat and move out of that street. She’ll compensate me for all the losses I suffer from relocating my shop and the expenses needed for renovating my new shop.
“Seren, do you think I should relocate?”
Before Serena could answer, Liberty added, “I did consider relocating, but I think it won’t work. Mr. Lewis can eventually find my whereabouts.
“Mrs. Lewis is hoping that I can secretly leave Wiltspoon with Sonny. She said she’ll allow me to keep in touch with you and our relatives. And as long as you keep it a secret and don’t expose where I am, Mr. Lewis will give up on me.”
Serena stopped laughing. Her expression turned grave and carried a hint of anger.
“How could Mrs. Lewis make such a request? What gives her the right to make you leave
Wiltspoon? Her son is the one in love with you and going after you. Why doesn’t she ask her son to get out of Wiltspoon to leave you alone?”
Liberty smiled.
“Seren, sure enough, we’re sisters. I refuted Mrs. Lewis this way too. Why should I leave? Why should I make such a sacrifice?”
“I think running away from the problem won’t solve it. Liberty, don’t move out of that street now. Your shop has been operating there for quite a while, and you finally have some regular customers. If you relocate, you’ll need to start everything from scratch.
“As long as you stick to your decision and don’t be convinced by Mr. Lewis, he can’t do anything to you no matter how hard he tries. If you fulfill Mrs. Lewis’s request and leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, Mr. Lewis might never be able to get over you. He might spend his remaining life searching for you and Sonny.
“By then, despite having gone after you for a long time, he still hasn’t won your heart. With his mother’s disapproval and persuasion over time, he’ll give up and leave you alone.”
Liberty thought so too.
She would not be able to solve the problem by leaving.
