Chapter 1623
Duncan was embarrassed because of Sonny’s words, and so was Liberty.
She turned her gaze to Duncan.
Duncan grinned at her.
Liberty was speechless. She kept quiet, thinking about how to answer her son’s question.
“Mom.”
Sonny’s childish voice rang out again.
“Mommy, do you disagree?”
“Sonny.”
Liberty said tenderly, “You already have a father. Dunc is your uncle, and he’ll forever be youruncle.”
“Liberty.”
Duncan called her.
“Mr. Lewis, Sonny is still young and immature. Don’t say these things to him. Sonny isn’t the one to decide on my life.”
Liberty was solemn when she spoke.
Duncan said apologetically, “Liberty, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said these things to Sonny at this point. But my feelings for you are real, Liberty. I’m genuinely fond of Sonny and will treat him like my biological son.”
“Mr. Lewis, as I said, I don’t want to get into a relationship now.”
In Duncan’s face, Liberty said composedly, “Mr. Lewis, I hope you can understand. I also hope that you’ll forget about it. We’re not a suitable match for each other.”
Mrs. Lewis was right. She would still disapprove of Liberty even if she reluctantly consented to her son being with Liberty. She and Liberty would continue to argue after Liberty wed into the family.
Liberty could not change her background.
Moreover, she truly had no intention of remarrying.
After Liberty returned to her rented house with her son, she took the car key and held her son’s hand. She said to him, “Sonny, I’ll send you to Aunt Ser’s house.”
“Mom.”
Sonny was merely three years old. He could not understand most of the things adults said, but he was able to watch and interpret people’s expressions.
His mother was unhappy.
He hugged Liberty’s leg and looked up with fear glimmering in his dark eyes. He was worried that he made his mother unhappy.
“Mom, did I do anything wrong?” the kid asked in fear.
Liberty squatted and hugged her son. After that, she let go of him.
“Sonny, you didn’t.” She said gently, “You’re right. You already have a father. We shouldn’t be greedy. You shouldn’t have two fathers.”
“But you started feeling unhappy after I asked you that question. You also didn’t seem friendly to Dunc. Mom, I like Dunc, but he’s not my father.”
Sonny already had a father.
