Liberty never told Duncan anything about her conversation with Mrs. Lewis.
However, he still found out from his mother.
Upon discovering that his mother had made Liberty move out, move away, and even leave
Wilt spoon with Sonny, he quarreled with his mother in anger.
Mrs. Lewis was furious, and so was Duncan.
Ultimately, the mother and son were unwilling to compromise. None of them would give up and let go.
Liberty glanced at Duncan and continued what she was doing. She said, “If I’m not the problem, then I won’t make so many sacrifices.”
Duncan laughed. He liked that side of Liberty.
Sonny, who took the phone into a room, dialed Serena’s number.
He knew the first number in his mother’s contact list was Aunt Ser’s.
Serena picked up the phone shortly.
“What’s the matter, Liberty?”
She thought it was her sister who called.
“Aunt Ser, it’s me, Sonny.”
Hearing her nephew’s young voice, Serena smiled and said, “Hey, Sonny. Did you call me yourself?”
“Yeah. I took Mom’s phone and hid in a room to call you.”
“What do you want to tell me?” The little boy actually hid in a room to call her. Serena felt her nephew was becoming more mischievous.
Learning self-defense from a teacher in the gym had made Sonny braver.
At his age, he was good with words and getting increasingly likable.
“Dunc is here again, Aunt Ser.”
“Doesn’t Dunc go there every day?” As far as Serena knew, Duncan would look for his sister every day.
Sonny replied, “He does, but Dad told me Dunc is here to snatch Mom away from me. Dad said to call him whenever Dunc comes over.”
Upon hearing what her nephew said, Serena scolded Hank silently.
Hank had married Jessica eagerly right after he and her sister got a divorce.
The husband and wife were anticipating the birth of their child with excitement, while her sister already had a suitor. However, Hank was trying to ruin that.
Was her sister not allowed to marry someone else, but he could?
Regardless of Liberty remarrying or not, Hank’s teachings to Sonny demonstrated how narrow- minded he was.
A sc*m would always be a sc*m. His true colors could not be changed.
“Aunt Ser, do you think I should call Dad?” Sonny asked.
The people he trusted the most were Mom and Aunt Ser. He dared not ask Mom that question as she and Dad had divorced.
He finally understood what a divorce was.
Therefore, he could only ask Aunt Ser about it.
“Do you think Dunc is here to snatch your mother away from you, Sonny?”
Serena returned with a question.
After some thought, Sonny replied honestly, “Last time, Dunc told me he was here to join Mom and me. He’s not a bad person.”
“Since you think Dunc isn’t here to steal your mom, you don’t have to care about what your father said.”
“Why did Dad say that?”
After a moment of silence, Serena said, “Your father just finds it unfair. Don’t mind him. It’s fine as long as you and your mother don’t hate Dunc. Is he nice to you?”
“Yes. He treats me well.”
A child’s heart was pure.
Despite their young age, they were aware of who treated them well or when someone was pretending.
However, they could not express themselves due to their age sometimes.
Duncan noticed Sonny first. He truly liked Sonny and would always want to carry him back then.
At that time, Sonny was still young and scared of the scar on Duncan’s face. Therefore, he refused Duncan’s embrace.
Duncan’s wish to carry Sonny only came true after they became familiar with each other.
Duncan only paid attention to the mother and son duo because he adored Sonny. He gradually fell in love with Sonny’s mother, Liberty.
“If Dunc treats you well and likes you so much, how will he bear to take your mother away? Believe in Duncan. He’ll only love you together with your mother. He won’t steal her away.”
Sonny felt reassured. He said, “I won’t call Dad then, Aunt Ser. Dad always says Dunc is evil.”
Dunc was so nice. He did not understand why Dad would say Dunc was bad.
The amount of time Dunc spent with him was longer than with his dad.
Dad was always with Jess. She did not like him:
Whenever Dad wanted to spend time with him, Jess would say she had a stomachache. As a result, Dad would cast him aside and leave with Jess.
Dunc was different. When Dunc said he would accompany him, he kept his word. Unlike Dad, Dunc never broke his promise of buying him anything.
“Sonny, you must slowly learn to differentiate between good and bad as you grow up. Although your father is your dad, his words and comments about someone might not be accurate. He’ll judge Duncan with his selfish opinions.
“You don’t have to care about what bad things your father says about Duncan. If you think Duncan is a good guy who treats you and your mother well, then that’s enough.”
Sonny behaved like an adult, saying, “I told my dad the same thing. I said Dunc isn’t a bad person, but Dad still seemed angry.”
Serena scolded Hank inwardly again.
Luckily, Sonny was a bright child. He did not spend much time with Hank, so he was not misled.
“Aunt Ser, I won’t call Dad anymore. Everything’s fine now. You can continue with your work. I’m hanging up.”
After getting an answer from Serena, Sonny hung up quickly. He proceeded to climb onto the bed and sat on it. He tapped into the browser and watched videos.
Based on his swift actions, it was obvious that he was skilled at using the phone.
Liberty noticed that her son had not come out after a long time. She immediately recalled that Sonny knew how to use a phone. She called, “Sonny, aren’t you done with the call? Return the phone to me if you’re done.”
Sonny did not reply.
