Chapter 830Chapter 830
Sonny refused Duncan and slid out of bed himself, looking for his mother while crying. When he
searched the house but still did not find Liberty, he cried even harder.
“Sonny, do you want some candy? Don’t cry. Dunc will give you candy.”
Duncan tried to coax him.
“I don’t want candy. I want Mommy…”
“I’ll bring you outside and buy you a windmill, okay?”
“I don’t want windmill. I want Mommy…”
Sonny’s cries grew louder.
Duncan was unable to soothe Sonny no matter how he tried. He did not know how to coax children.
In the end, he took out his cell phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Sonny. “Don’t cry, okay? Come
here, I’ll let you play with my phone. We can watch cartoons.”
Sonny slapped his phone away with one hand.
“I don’t want phone.”
Duncan scratched his head, feeling a headache. “I thought children these days could be dealt with
easily if they have a phone to play with.”
Sonny did not want to play with his phone.However, there were many harmful effects of children playing with cell phones. Sonny was still too
young, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to play with a phone.
Just then, there was the sound of the door opening.
Duncan hurriedly shoved the phone back into his pants pocket. He could not let Liberty see that he was
trying to coax Sonny with his phone.
He was setting a bad example for someone else’s child.
Liberty heard her son’s cries as she was making her way up the stairs.
She quickened her pace and hurriedly opened the door to enter the house.
“Mommy.”

Sonny cried pitifully and ran toward Liberty when he saw his mother.
Liberty bent down to pick up her son. When she saw the tears and snot running down his face, she
carried him and brought tissues to help him wipe them away.
“Mommy is back, Sonny. Don’t cry.”
She pressed her son’s head against her shoulder and comforted him gently. “Don’t cry. Mommy just
went out for some business. It’s not because Mommy doesn’t want you anymore. Duncan is here, so
there’s no need to be afraid.”
Sonny thought, ‘I’m scared because Dunc is here.‘Duncan said sheepishly, “I couldn’t coax him. He cried as soon as he woke up and saw me, then he
tried looking for you. I tried everything, but I couldn’t get him to stop crying.”
Forgive him for having no experience with children.
“Sonny will cry if he wakes up and doesn’t see me. It’s a little better if Seren is around, but if she isn’t,
no one can coax him. Not even his father could.”
Of course, that was also because Hank rarely spent time with his son.
When he was at home occasionally, he would just tease his son, make him cry, and then quickly slip
away.
Duncan stopped talking when Hank was suddenly mentioned.
Liberty recalled that Jessica once bragged that she and Hank would go to the City Hall on Valentine’s
Day, which was today, to get the marriage formalities done.
Liberty thought in her heart, ‘Jessica did it on purpose.
‘She chose to get married on Valentine’s Day.
‘She thought it would be a blow to me.‘
Liberty wanted to laugh. She did not understand why Jessica thought that she would still love Hank
after the divorce.
Hank was nothing but Sonny’s father to her now.
“Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”Although Duncan could not coax Sonny, Liberty was still grateful that he had been with them the whole
day.
novelbinIf only he did not harp about how tough Zachary had it, or what difficulties Zachary faced, Liberty would
be even more grateful to him.
