That will benefit Sonny\u2019s 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?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMany 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\u2019re so busy with work; how will you find time to teach Sonny?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cChildren require a lot of attention and care. Educating and nurturing them takes significant effort. If Sonny doesn\u2019t succeed, others will blame you and me. They\u2019ll label me an evil stepmother and say that\u2019s why you don\u2019t care for Sonny.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019m already enduring so much with you. Do you want me to bear even more grievances?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Upon hearing Jessica\u2019s words, Hank replied in a conflicted tone, \u201cI promised my parents that I would take custody of Sonny.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>If he relinquished custody of Sonny, he wouldn\u2019t know how to explain it to his parents when he returned home.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSonny is your son, not your parents\u2019 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.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank remained silent.<\/div>\n<div>He lacked the time to care for and nurture Sonny.<\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div>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.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLiberty is currently using the caf\u00e9 owner\u2019s laptop to print the divorce agreement. If you\u2019re ready to forfeit custody of Sonny, you can complete the divorce formalities this afternoon. After that, you\u2019ll be single again, and we can be together openly.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHank, we\u2019re still young, and we\u2019ll 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.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Hank was successfully persuaded by Jessica, so he decided to forgo custody of Sonny. He then thought about his parents\u2019 feelings and said, \u201cYou 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\u2019t trouble Liberty.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll transfer the money to her tomorrow at two o\u2019clock in the afternoon, as she requested. After that, we\u2019ll head to City Hall to complete the divorce procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessica thought that since it was only a day away, she agreed and said, \u201cI\u2019ll go in and talk to her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank felt confident that he could persuade his parents as well.<\/p>\n<p>As Jessica entered, Liberty emerged from the building.<\/p>\n<p>She was holding two copies of the printed divorce papers, both bearing her signature and fingerprints.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiberty,\u201d Hank said in a deep voice, \u201cGive me one day to convince my parents. If you don\u2019t, they might cause you trouble and could even take Sonny away again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease wait for me at the entrance of the bank tomorrow at two o\u2019clock. I\u2019ll divide the property as you requested, and then we\u2019ll go to City Hall to finalize the divorce.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 518 Jessica pouted and said, \u201cRegardless, I don\u2019t want Sonny to receive too much of your fatherly love for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12319\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
