As long as Sonny wished for it, he believed that his mom and Aunt Ser would satisfy him.
Liberty was also laughing on the phone. She said, “No wonder he keeps asking for younger siblings. He has never been like this. It turns out that he argued with Laurence.”
“It’s okay, they’ll be fine after a while. They’re about the same age and play well together. They occasionally fight over toys and argue a little, but they make up very quickly. Kids are all like that.”
While Serenity and Liberty were on the phone, Laurence came in with two water guns.
“Sonny.”
Laurence called out to Sonny as he walked over, “Sonny, let’s go play with water guns. I have many, many water guns. I’ll give you one.”
“Okay.”
Sonny, who was feeling aggrieved just a while ago, immediately stopped feeling so when he saw Laurence asking him to go play with water guns. He ran toward Laurence.
Afterward, the two children walked out and played with the water guns outside under the nanny’s supervision.
“Liberty, it’s fine now. They’re playing together again.”
“Mm. By the way, roughly when are you coming back?”
“We’ll go back in two days, but Sonny doesn’t want to leave. He said he wants to play with Laurence and doesn’t want to go to kindergarten anymore.”
Liberty found it amusing. “He’s having too much fun. He doesn’t miss his mom and doesn’t want to go to kindergarten. Come back after two days so he can get back into school mode before kindergarten, lest he cries too much.”
“Okay. Has Hank not woken up yet?”
Serenity asked about her ex-brother-in-law’s condition.
“Not yet. I just came back from the hospital and went to see Chelsea. Her injuries aren’t serious, so she can be discharged soon.”
Liberty still went to the hospital every day. She was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Browns, but for the sake of Sonny, she went to see her former sister-in-law and parents-in-law.
