Chapter 680
As Liberty prepared for the event, she opted not to wear a gown due to the lack of suitable evening dresses in her size. There simply wasn’t enough time to have one tailored for her.
Instead, she chose some new clothes and applied her makeup in a natural style. She also adorned herself with a jewelry set gifted by Mrs. Stone, which added a touch of elegance to her appearance.
Sonny was dressed in a mini suit. The young boy was already quite handsome, and the suit only accentuated his attractive features.
Any woman who encountered Sonny found it hard to resist picking him up.
Initially shy, the little guy quickly grew more comfortable and confident. He sweetly thanked everyone who complimented him, ultimately becoming the star of the event.
“Ma’am, Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Duncan have arrived,” announced a maid as she approached Mrs. Stone.
In response, Mrs. Stone took her daughter and niece by the hand and led them out to greet the distinguished guests.
With a smile, Mrs. Stone said to Liberty, “Come with me to welcome Mrs. Lewis.”
“Mrs. Lewis is Duncan’s mother. He once helped you,” Mrs. Stone added, providing a brief introduction.
Liberty nodded, smiling in recognition.
Aunt Audrey hosted the event to introduce Liberty and Serenity to the community, ensuring Wiltspoonians knew that the Stone Group supported the sisters.
As they made their way outside, they encountered Mrs. Lewis and her son in the center of the lawn.
“Mrs. Lewis. Mr. Duncan,” Mrs. Stone greeted warmly. “Mrs. Stone,” Mrs. Lewis replied, mirroring her enthusiasm.
In reality, they seldom exchanged pleasantries when they crossed paths.
This was largely because the Lewises were close to the…
Yorks.
Mrs. Lewis attended the Stones’ party tonight solely because her youngest son was accompanying her. It was highly unlikely that Duncan would ever attend any social event willingly. Curious, Mrs. Lewis decided to go to the Stones’ gathering.
She wanted to understand why her youngest son was eager to join her at the event.
Duncan would rather avoid any event than go with his mother.
After the two ladies, who held equal social standing, exchanged pleasantries, they began to compliment each other’s children.
After praising Mrs. Stone’s three children, Mrs. Lewis’s gaze landed on Liberty.
“Mrs. Stone, is this your niece?”
Mrs. Stone, holding Liberty’s hand, replied with a smile, “This is my elder niece, Liberty. Her younger sister had an emergency and couldn’t make it tonight.” “Sonny.”
As Mrs. Stone introduced Liberty to Mrs. Lewis, Duncan leaned down and reached out to touch Sonny’s face. The little boy in a suit was simply adorable.
Sonny shyly stepped behind Liberty.
For some unknown reason, Sonny seemed afraid of Duncan.
Once again, Duncan awkwardly withdrew his hands.
Straightening his posture, he embarrassedly smiled at Mrs. Stone and said, “Sonny is always scared of me.”
Mrs. Lewis picked up on something and asked, “Duncan, do you know Ms.
Hunt?”
Duncan’s tone when referring to someone else’s son was quite affectionate.
Duncan explained, “Liberty used to work at my company, but she resigned not too long ago.”
Sonny clutched his mother’s clothing before peeking out to look at Duncan. With a smile, Duncan clapped his hands and extended his arms toward Sonny, inviting him to come closer for a hug. He had been longing to hold this adorable little boy.
