“Yes.”
Soon, Serena and Zack sat on the couch.
Sonny was playing in front of the couple.
“Babe, Liberty said if you can help Sonny get into WLC, please do help. Just let her know how much it costs and she’ll bear the fees.‘
“If I weren’t able to help, I wouldn’t have mentioned it to you. I’ll handle it. I’ll make sure my nephew gets into WLC for free. Even if fees are involved, I’ll pay for Liberty.
“Regarding the fees-”
Before Zack could finish his sentence, Serena interjected, “Liberty said Sonny is her son, so she should pay the fees. This is her duty as a mother. It’s only because Liberty can afford to pay the fees that she wants to enroll Sonny in the best preschool.
“If we insist on paying Sonny’s fees, Liberty won’t enroll him in the best preschool. Babe, I think it’s quite impossible for me to complete the mission you assigned to me.”
Zack thought about her sister–in–law’s temperament before he replied, “Fine. We’ll let Liberty pay the school fees, but she must accept the villa we’re giving to her. Let’s take a look at the villa when we’re available. Judging from the exquisite renovation of the house, Liberty won’t need to dedicate her time and effort to renovating it.”
“Alright.”
Serena then told Zack that Mrs. Lewis had asked Liberty out for a talk tonight.
Zack was not at all surprised.
If it were not because Mrs. Lewis feared Zack and the Stones, she would have forcefully kicked Liberty out of Wiltspoon.
“We shall let Liberty and Duncan settle their matters. As long as Mrs. Lewis isn’t too domineering toward Liberty, let’s not have a hand in it.”
Serena nodded.
Liberty returned to her house alone. She was astonished to see her ex–husband, Hank, waiting for her at the gate.
Her brows furrowed.
She could guess why Hank came over.
“You’re back.”
Hank asked politely, “Where’s Sonny?”
He was carrying two bags. One bag contained snacks, whereas the other contained different kinds of toys. He bought these for his son.
“Sonny is staying in Seren’s house so it’s convenient for Jim to send him to his lessons.”
“Sonny is starting preschool. Have you decided on which one to send him to? If it’s not convenient for you to drop him off or pick him up, I can get my mom’s help. I’m sure my mom is ready to help.”
Hank thought that since Sonny was his son, he should do his best to help.
“No need. Jim will drop Sonny off and pick him up. I haven’t made up my mind yet.”
Before Zack gave her a definite reply, Liberty would not tell Hank that she would enroll Sonny in the best preschool.
Liberty pushed open the door of her house and entered. With Hank following behind her, she did not shut the door.
“I’ve bought some food and toys for Sonny. I was supposed to play with him tonight… I broke my promise.”
After Hank left the mall with Jessica, he insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check–up.
After the doctor examined Jessica’s body and found out that she was fine, it hit Hank that Jessica lied to him. He was a little angry, but he controlled his temper considering that Jessica was pregnant.

After leaving the hospital, Hank even accompanied Jessica to another mall to get what she wanted.
When they got home, he could not stop thinking about the scene of Duncan and Sonny’s close interaction, which exasperated him. His concern was that his son would be snatched away by Duncan and end up calling Duncan “Dad”.
As soon as Jessica went to bed, he secretly left the house to buy some snacks and toys. Then, he rushed to his ex-wife’s place.
He never thought of saving his relationship with Liberty.
There was no turning back. He could not get together with Liberty anymore.
However, Sonny was his son. How could his son behave intimately with the man who was pursuing his ex-wife? Duncan had seriously challenged Hank’s identity as Sonny’s father.
“Is your wife’s baby fine?” Liberty asked indifferently.
Slightly ashamed, Hank answered, “The baby is fine.”
“Sonny has been eating and playing a lot. You don’t have to buy him so many things.”
“I know he doesn’t need these, but I want to send him gifts. Liberty, was Sonny upset after I left?”
Hank felt sorry for his son.
In the past, he hardly spent time with his son.
At that time, he was in the first flush of love with Jessica, so he put all his attention on her.
After getting a divorce, he could count the number of times he accompanied his son with one hand.
“Sonny was a little upset, but he soon got over it.”
When Hank heard that his son was upset because he left, he felt more at ease. At least his son cared about him.
Liberty poured a glass of warm water for Hank.
Hank fell quiet for a moment. He then looked at Liberty and asked, “Liberty, you and Mr. Lewis…”
“What’s wrong?” Liberty asked him.
“Nothing. I just feel that both of you aren’t a suitable match. I don’t have the right to stop you from remarrying, but as Sonny’s mom, you’ll bring him along when you remarry. If you marry a bad partner, I’m worried my son will get hurt. So I’m just asking.”
Hank came up with an excuse to conceal his jealousy.
“Liberty, you must think before you act. Think carefully. Mr. Lewis isn’t suitable for you.”
Liberty was not angry. However, she said nonchalantly, “Mr. Brown, I don’t dare trouble you to care about my relationships. You can just live your own life.”
Currently, Hank was a Uber driver. Although it was not a high-paying job, at least he had an income.
His family life was dramatic.
Liberty knew her ex-mother-in-law and ex-sister-in-law very well. Even though Jessica was pregnant, the two of them would make things difficult for Jessica.
It was anyone’s guess if Jessica could successfully deliver the baby.
If it turned out to be a boy, all would be well. If it was a girl, the two of them would certainly torture
Jessica.
Anyway, Jessica would not be able to lead a peaceful life.
This would be Jessica’s karma for ruining Liberty’s marriage and snatching her husband.
Hank was embarrassed.
“Mr. Brown, if there’s nothing else, please take your leave. It’s getting late. I need rest as I have to work tomorrow.”
“Liberty, I…”
“Mr. Brown, I believe you came without getting your wife’s permission. If she finds out that you secretly came here to visit Sonny, she might have a bitter row with you.”
Jessica disliked Hank being overly concerned about Sonny.
Liberty was well aware of that.
Jessica did not like how worried her husband’s family was about Sonny before she became pregnant. She hated it even more now that she was pregnant.
At the mention of Jessica, Hank could not sit for long.
