Chapter 518
Jessica pouted and said, “Regardless, I don’t want Sonny to receive too much of your fatherly love for my future child.”
She did not want Hank to spend his money on Sonny.
Jessica hoped that Hank’s future earnings would be dedicated to their small family—just her and their children.
“Liberty gave birth to Sonny, so she will definitely do her best to raise and educate him well. That will benefit Sonny’s development. If you pursue custody of Sonny, your parents will care for him. Do you really think your parents can provide him with a proper education?”
“Many grandparents spoil their grandchildren. But if you want Sonny to grow up to be someone who achieves nothing, then ignore what I said. I just believe it would be better for Sonny to stay with Liberty. You’re so busy with work; how will you find time to teach Sonny?”
“Children require a lot of attention and care. Educating and nurturing them takes significant effort. If Sonny doesn’t succeed, others will blame you and me. They’ll label me an evil stepmother and say that’s why you don’t care for Sonny.”
“I’m already enduring so much with you. Do you want me to bear even more grievances?”
Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Hank replied in a conflicted tone, “I promised my parents that I would take custody of Sonny.”
If he relinquished custody of Sonny, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to his parents when he returned home.
“Sonny is your son, not your parents’ son, so the decision rests solely with you. If you relinquish custody of Sonny, they will still be his grandparents and can visit him whenever they wish.”
Hank remained silent.
He lacked the time to care for and nurture Sonny.
Jessica was determined not to become a housewife after marriage, unlike Liberty. If he sent Sonny back to his hometown for his parents to care for, Sonny would feel abandoned, which would negatively impact his development.
Although Hank had never taken care of Sonny, he still wished for the best for him. He also hoped that Sonny would achieve success in the future and make him proud.
“Liberty is currently using the café owner’s laptop to print the divorce agreement. If you’re ready to forfeit custody of Sonny, you can complete the divorce formalities this afternoon. After that, you’ll be single again, and we can be together openly.”
“Hank, we’re still young, and we’ll have our own children in the future. We could even have two or three. The likelihood of Liberty remarrying is quite low given her current situation. Sonny gives her a reason to live, so you should allow her this, as someone who once cared for her.”
Hank was successfully persuaded by Jessica, so he decided to forgo custody of Sonny. He then thought about his parents’ feelings and said, “You can go in and ask Liberty to give me another day to think it over. I need to speak with my parents so they won’t trouble Liberty.”
“I’ll transfer the money to her tomorrow at two o’clock in the afternoon, as she requested. After that, we’ll head to City Hall to complete the divorce procedures.”
Jessica thought that since it was only a day away, she agreed and said, “I’ll go in and talk to her.”
Hank felt confident that he could persuade his parents as well.
As Jessica entered, Liberty emerged from the building.
She was holding two copies of the printed divorce papers, both bearing her signature and fingerprints.
“Liberty,” Hank said in a deep voice, “Give me one day to convince my parents. If you don’t, they might cause you trouble and could even take Sonny away again.”
“Please wait for me at the entrance of the bank tomorrow at two o’clock. I’ll divide the property as you requested, and then we’ll go to City Hall to finalize the divorce.”
