Chapter 1609
“Dunc.”
Sonny’s mannerism toward Duncan and his father, Hank, was the same.
Once Sonny saw Duncan, he shook off Liberty’s hand and scurried toward Duncan.
Hank’s expression became graver.
His parents and elder sister had always nagged him, telling him that Liberty had a pursuer. If he was not going to divorce Jessica and go after Liberty again, Sonny’s father would be someone else.
Duncan would most likely become Sonny’s new father.
Hank knew full well that Liberty would not accept him anymore. As for Jessica, he still had feelings for her. He also felt sorry for her.
He hurt two women because of his unfaithfulness.
Liberty was already divorced from Hank and had started her life anew. She was leading a wonderful life. He did not want to hurt Jessica again, especially by divorcing her when she was in jail. If he did that, she would be homeless after she was released.
Ever since Jessica was arrested, her brother and sister-in-law had established boundaries with her.
Although her parents took pity on her, they could not do anything about it. They were already old and reliant on their son and daughter-in-law to look after them.
Hank was well aware that Jessica would be left homeless if he divorced her.
Chelsea told her younger brother off for being heartless toward Liberty yet loving toward Jessica.
“Sonny.”
Duncan smiled while walking toward Sonny to carry him. After that, he lifted Sonny and turned around, making Sonny burst into laughter.
Seeing their joyful and close interaction, the passers-by were under the impression that the two of them were father and son.
After Duncan stopped lifting Sonny and spinning him, he asked Sonny with a grin, “Are you happy?”
“Yeah.”
Sonny laughed so much that his face reddened.
Duncan loved his flushed face. Sonny looked so cute that Duncan could not help but kiss him on the cheek.
Unexpectedly, Sonny kissed Duncan back.
