Chapter 718
“Liberty, I got to go. I’ll visit you and Sonny some other time.”
Mrs. Brown left these words before making the run for it.
Serenity carried Sonny out the door as they watched Mrs. Brown get into a taxi. Serenity clicked her tongue once it was confirmed that the old lady had left the building.
She shot off. “She’s never been so eager to see Sonny before, so why change now?”
Sonny was holding the toy car that Mrs. Brown stuffed in his hands before leaving. Taking the toy car from Sonny, Serenity asked, “Do you like the toy car, Sonny?”
“No.”
Shaking his head, Sonny replied, “I have a lot of toy cars.”
All of them could move whereas the toy car that Grandma gave him could not.
“Why don’t we throw it away?”
After much thought, Sonny answered, “For Lucas.”
He believed Lucas would not go after his toys if he had his own toy car.
“Sonny, Lucas will never fight with you over your toys anymore. If you don’t want to throw the toy car away, we can give it away to other children but not to Lucas.”
“Um… I want to give it to Jenny.”
Serenity carried her nephew into the shop and asked her sister, “Who’s Jenny, Liberty?”
“My neighbor’s little girl. She has play dates with Sonny.”
Serenity put the toy car from Mrs. Brown on the table. “Sonny said that the toy car is for Jenny.”
Liberty smiled sarcastically, “Do you think her story about visiting Sonny was legit? She came to whine about Hank and Jessica’s wedding. The family has to pay for the wedding, family support, and jewelry for the bride. It’s always about money.”
