Married at First Sight Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264

Sonny recalled the explanations given by Jessica and his mom, yet he still struggled to grasp the full meaning of his mother’s words. He tilted his head and asked, “Dunc, are you married?”

“No, I don’t have a spouse, so I’m not married,” Duncan replied.

“Why don’t you have a spouse?” Sonny inquired.

“Because I don’t have a woman I like,” Duncan explained.

Sonny blinked and asked with curiosity, “You don’t like my mom? And my Aunt Ser and Aunt Elisa are really nice. Don’t you like them?”

Duncan was momentarily at a loss for words. 1

With a hint of amusement, he said, “Your Aunt Ser is wonderful, but she’s with your Uncle Zack, so I can’t like her that way. As for Aunt Elisa, she’s great, but she’s not my type.”

“And your mom… I view her as a friend. I come over every day because I like you.”

Sonny seemed to grasp only part of what Duncan meant when he said he liked him.

Instinctively, he asked, “Do you want to marry me?”

Duncan paused, surprised. “Sonny, we’re both boys, so we can’t get married. Even though I don’t have a girlfriend yet, I’m straight and only like women.”

“But you said you liked me,” Sonny protested.

“The way I like you is different from how I like women,” Duncan clarified.

“Isn’t it the same? Why do you like me but not want to marry me?”

Duncan was rendered speechless.

Faced with a curious child full of questions, Duncan found himself unsure of how to respond. He didn’t know how to explain it to Sonny.

“Sonny, you’re still young. Let’s talk about this when you’re older, okay? Come on, I’ll show you how to piece the bricks.”

He skillfully shifted the topic.

Duncan reminded himself to be cautious about what he said to Sonny to avoid digging himself into a similar situation in the future.

“Sonny, come have…

“Breakfast,” Serenity said as she approached with a plate of pancakes, placing it on the counter with a smile. “Do you want me to feed you?”

“Go help your sister, Serenity. I’ll feed Sonny,” Duncan replied.

“Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Lewis,” she said.

“It’s no trouble as long as Sonny is willing to let me feed him,” Duncan responded. However, Sonny insisted on eating by himself.

His mother mentioned that she would send him to preschool in September, where he would need to eat independently.

“Serenity, I’d like some pancakes too. I’ll sit here and eat with Sonny,” Duncan added, noticing the busy store. He asked Serenity to prepare a plate of pancakes for him to enjoy alongside Sonny.

“Coming right up,” she replied, turning to make the pancakes. The breakfast diner was bustling, with even Mrs. York lending a hand.

Meanwhile, Duncan sat at the cashier’s desk, enjoying breakfast with Sonny, resembling a father-son duo. This scene caught the attention of Lily and Mrs. Lewis.

They had deliberately risen early to wait nearby for Duncan’s arrival, hoping to ascertain the nature of his relationship with Liberty. As they observed through the open glass door, Lily appeared unfazed, while Mrs. Lewis looked increasingly displeased.

Seeing how comfortable Liberty’s son was with Duncan indicated to her that they met frequently. Unbeknownst to her, Liberty and her son had grown close to Duncan.

Mrs. Lewis felt a strong urge to enter but resisted the impulse. As she noticed Duncan preparing to step outside, Lily quickly drove away.

“Lily, later you should visit the office to see Duncan. It doesn’t matter whether you use business or personal reasons as an excuse. You need to keep him close and not let anyone interfere.”

“Women on the streets have the chance to take him away,” Mrs. Lewis instructed.
