Chapter 282<\/p>\n

Wiping away her tears, Liberty steadied herself and tried to sound composed. <\/p>\n

\u201cI suspected it, but I didn\u2019t anticipate it happening so soon.\u201d Despite having an affair, Hank had hidden it from Liberty and hadn\u2019t mentioned divorce. If her suspicions were correct, it was likely due to Sonny. Sonny was young and struggled with separation anxiety. Liberty\u2019s in-laws were helping Chelsea care for her children and manage household tasks, while Hank was solely focused on his family. <\/p>\n

Even Hank prioritized his sister over her. He saw nothing wrong with his parents exclusively supporting his sister. <\/p>\n

Once they divorced, the Browns would undoubtedly contest custody of Sonny. However, Hank would feel guilty placing the burden of raising a child on his parents unless Sonny was already in kindergarten. <\/p>\n

Hank was probably waiting for Sonny to start school before seeking a divorce. <\/p>\n

For now, all he could do was be passive-aggressive. \u201cLiberty, you might want to keep this low-key since we don\u2019t have any evidence yet. In the meantime, we\u2019ll gather all the proof we can. Also, I\u2019m just giving you a heads-up in case he tries anything with you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity noticed the sobs underlying her sister\u2019s voice but chose not to mention it. Her sister needed time to process her emotions. <\/p>\n

She could allow her sister to cry if that was what she needed. <\/p>\n

It took three years of marriage for Liberty to see Hank\u2019s true colors. It was a painful lesson, but at thirty years old, she was still young. There was no sense in staying with someone who had been unfaithful. <\/p>\n

\u201cI will, Seren. Enjoy your dinner. I\u2019m okay. I\u2019m looking for a job to prepare for the divorce.\u201d <\/p>\n

Liberty didn\u2019t crumble when she suddenly lost her parents and faced the harshness of her relatives. She managed to navigate life with resilience.<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges, her sister remained strong, and Liberty was determined that her husband\u2019s infidelity would not break her either. <\/p>\n

\u201cGet some rest, Liberty. Try not to dwell on it. It might just be a case of mistaken identity,\u201d Serenity suggested, though she understood they were only trying to reassure themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure,\u201d Liberty replied, ending the call and tossing her phone aside. Turning onto her side, she looked at her son\u2019s peaceful sleeping face, and her emotions overwhelmed her. Pulling the covers over her head, she bit down on them as she wept.<\/p>\n

Through her tears, she reached out to caress her son\u2019s face, realizing that if a divorce happened, he would not have a complete family. Yet, Liberty was not the type to endure a broken marriage for the sake of her child. A fractured home could cause significant harm to children, but a toxic marriage could also inflict lasting damage if not ended swiftly.<\/p>\n

Sonny was too young to comprehend what divorce meant. If Liberty gained custody, she would allow Hank to visit their son. However, given the Browns\u2019 tendencies, she feared she might lose access to her son altogether if Hank were to secure full custody. <\/p>\n

It would be devastating for Sonny to be separated from his mother at such a tender age and to endure her prolonged absence. <\/p>\n

\u201cSonny,\u201d Liberty whispered, wiping away her tears as she gently stroked his little face. With determination, she vowed through clenched teeth, \u201cI will do everything in my power to get custody of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hank had never been involved in caring for Sonny, and her in-laws generally only played with him. Liberty worried about the neglect and potential harm her son would face if he were placed in their care. Chelsea\u2019s son had always bullied Sonny, and that bullying would likely escalate if Sonny lived with his grandparents. This was the reality a child could face.<\/p>\n
