face. She picked him up and provided tissues to help him wipe his tears away.
“Mommy is back, Sonny. Don’t cry,” she said soothingly. She held her son’s head against her shoulder and gently comforted him. “Don’t cry. Mommy just went out for some errands. It’s not because I don’t want you anymore. Duncan is here, so there’s no need to be afraid.”
Sonny thought, ‘I’m scared because Dunc is here.’
Duncan sheepishly replied, “I couldn’t get him to stop crying. He cried as soon as he woke up and saw me, then he started looking for you. I tried everything.”
It was understandable that he lacked experience with children.
“Sonny cries when he wakes up and doesn’t see me. It’s a bit better if Seren is around, but if she isn’t, no one can calm him down. Not even his father could.”
This was partly because Hank rarely spent time with his son.
When he was home, he would often tease Sonny, make him cry, and then slip away quickly.
Duncan fell silent when Hank was mentioned suddenly.
Liberty remembered that Jessica had once boasted about going to City Hall with Hank on Valentine’s Day, which was today, to complete their marriage formalities.
Liberty thought to herself, ‘Jessica did that on purpose.
‘She chose to get married on Valentine’s Day.
‘She thought it would hurt me.’
Liberty wanted to laugh; she couldn’t understand why Jessica believed she would still care for Hank after the divorce.
To her, Hank was merely Sonny’s father now.
“Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”
Although Duncan couldn’t calm Sonny, Liberty was still thankful that he had spent the entire day with them.
If only he hadn’t constantly mentioned how difficult Zachary’s life was, or the challenges he faced, Liberty would have been even more appreciative.
Him.
