Chapter 1166
“Mom, Sonny has a toy, and he won’t let me play with it. I want a toy, Mom! I want Sonny’s toy!”
Lucas hurried over to his mother, tugging on Chelsea’s clothes and demanding Sonny’s toy.
Chelsea always valued her children while dismissing others’ kids. She extended her hand toward Sonny and said, “Sonny, give me your toy.”
“This is mine!”
Sonny clung to the Lego box like it was glued to him.
Chelsea attempted to take the toy from Sonny when Liberty intervened, grabbing a kitchen utensil and striking Chelsea’s wrist. The sudden pain made Chelsea pull back her arm.
“What are you doing, Liberty?”
Liberty frowned. “I should be asking you that. That’s Sonny’s toy. He gets to decide if he wants to share it with Lucas. Why are you taking a toy from a child?”
Chelsea was left speechless.
With a disapproving look, Mr. Brown scolded his daughter. After Chelsea led her son to a corner, Mr. Brown gently said, “Liberty, it’s okay if Sonny doesn’t want to share. It’s his toy, after all.”
“Why is everyone here?”
Liberty glanced at the family and asked.
Hank chimed in, “Didn’t my parents tell you last night? We’re taking Sonny to the zoo today to see the tigers.”
He then turned to his son, asking, “Sonny, do you want to go to the zoo with Dad?”
With bright eyes, Sonny asked, “Is Mom going too, Dad?”
Hank looked at Liberty before responding with a smile, “Mom is coming along too.”
“Liberty, you should close up early today. We can have breakfast at your place and then head to the zoo. It’s an hour’s drive, so we need to leave early to give the kids more time to enjoy it.”
Wiltspoon Zoo was vast and home to numerous animals.
Hank had visited the zoo once before.
It was a weekend when he first started dating Liberty, and Serenity, still a teenager at the time, tagged along. Liberty initially planned to let her son go on a zoo trip with her former in-laws. However, her mind changed when she noticed Lucas. She worried that if she didn’t accompany them, Lucas might tease Sonny. Kneeling to meet her son’s gaze, Liberty asked, “Do you want to go, Sonny?”
Sonny eagerly replied, “I want to go, Mom! I want to go with Mom and Dad to the zoo.” He glanced at Jessica, puzzled about why this woman was always around his father when his mom had always stood by him in the past.
Hank encouraged, “Come on, Liberty. We’ve never taken our son to the zoo. Let’s go together. Sonny has been wanting to see the tigers.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown echoed their son’s suggestion, trying to persuade Liberty to join the family outing.
In truth, Liberty had little desire to spend time with her ex-husband’s family. However, she didn’t want to ruin her son’s idea of fun. She reluctantly said, “I can leave after the customers finish their meals.”
With his mom’s approval, Sonny jumped for joy and urged her, “Call Aunt Ser, Mom! Tell Aunt Ser to join us!”
The Browns were taken aback; their only son never failed to include his aunt in everything.
“I’m not sure if your aunt is available,” Liberty replied, but she decided to call Serenity anyway. It would be nice if her sister came along, as it would ease the awkwardness of going on the trip with her ex-husband’s family.
