Chapter 1386
“It’s your choice whether you want to do it. Don’t hesitate to express your feelings if you’re not interested.”
Liberty didn’t want to pressure her son; she respected his decisions.
Tilting his head, Sonny glanced at his dad and pondered for a moment before asking, “Is my mom going?”
“Yes. Didn’t I give your mom an invitation the last time?”
“Oh.” Sonny nodded. “Okay, Dad. I’ll do it.”
Hank smiled, knowing his son felt close to him and would enjoy being his flower boy.
“Should we go pick out an outfit then?”
Sonny looked back at his mother.
Hank reminded Liberty, “We should hurry if you want to join us.”
Ignoring Hank, Liberty turned off the electricity and checked that the stove was off. Once everything was confirmed, she let the two workers leave and said to Jim, “Jim, you can go back now. I’m taking Sonny to pick out a suit for him.”
Sonny had his lesson in the morning, so the afternoon class wasn’t necessary.
Being young, William preferred not to overwhelm Sonny with a full day of training right away. He worried Sonny might struggle and end up in tears.
Just take it one step at a time.
Although Sonny wasn’t naturally gifted as a fighter, he could develop enough skills to protect himself if he remained committed to training.
With Liberty accompanying them, Jim felt relieved and then left.
Jessica was pleased that Liberty and her son would be without security, increasing the chances of success for the day’s plan.
Liberty closed the diner and took her son from her ex-husband. She quietly said, “You and your wife can lead the way. I’ll ride with Sonny in the back.”
Hank noticed a car parked outside the diner when he arrived and assumed it belonged to
someone else.
Only now did he realize it was Liberty’s.
“When did you get a new car?”
“Two days ago.”
Hank stole a few glances at Liberty’s new ride, feeling relieved to see it was the affordable kind.
He would likely turn green with envy if Liberty drove a car worth several hundred thousand dollars.
Following Liberty’s instructions, Hank led the way while she trailed behind him in another vehicle.
Duncan, Zachary, and Josh learned the news when Liberty and her son set off with Hank and his wife.
Clive was a bit slow to receive the update.
They had instructed their team to follow Liberty and Sonny discreetly to ensure their safety.
Josh also informed Julian.
They were prepared to eliminate any connections Mrs. Newman had lurking in the shadows.
Unbeknownst to Liberty, danger was on the horizon. She thought Jessica wouldn’t dare make a move since they were in a busy city, plus she was with her son.
She would keep her son close at all times.
They arrived at the bridal shop chosen by Hank and Jessica.
The two vehicles gradually came to a halt.
Hank parked and stepped out to watch Liberty park. Seeing her handle it confidently, he decided not to offer help.
He was lost in thought.
In the past, Liberty relied on Hank for everything. She had been dependent on him.
Now, Liberty was fully capable of managing on her own. She was an independent woman.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t survive without Hank; on the contrary, she was thriving since their separation.
She had lost weight, regained her pre-marriage beauty, opened a diner, enjoyed a flourishing business, and purchased a car. Life was only going to improve for her.
It likely wouldn’t be long before Liberty found
Her first property in Wiltspoon could also be a villa. Mrs. York was her sister. Naturally, Serenity would lend a hand if Liberty decided to buy a house. Hank’s thoughts drifted back to the words of his parents and sister. Liberty was now beyond his reach. One day, he would regret divorcing her.
