Titus wasn’t allowed to go out often because he couldn’t help with luggage, and the family preferred not to take him along. They figured when he grew up, he could travel on his own.
Liberty thought about Titus’s background. The Johnson family was protective because of Titus’s past. The people who killed his family were still searching for him, wanting to eliminate any trace of his lineage. They suspected that the child Jane adopted might be the one they were after, but they couldn’t confirm it. The Johnson family’s strong position in Annenburg made these people hesitate to act, and they had no new information about Titus from FC Manor. They believed the Johnsons might have hidden him away but didn’t know where.
Liberty reassured Titus, saying, “When summer vacation comes next year, it’ll be longer. I’ll bring Sonny to your place so he can spend the summer with you.” She smiled as she said this.
Titus, delighted, replied, “Auntie Hunt, you have to keep your promise. Make sure Sonny comes to play with me next summer.”
The two boys might have occasional disagreements, but most of the time, they got along well and had a lot of fun together. While there were other children at FC Manor, they were still too young to play with Titus, so he eagerly looked forward to spending time with Sonny.
“Of course,” Liberty promised.
By next summer, Serenity would have given birth, so it might not be convenient to take Sonny to the Johnson family. Liberty thought she might be very busy by then, so she planned to personally take Sonny to FC Manor. She felt a bit embarrassed, as it seemed like she was asking the Johnson family to look after her son. To show her appreciation, she decided to prepare a generous gift when she sent Sonny over during the summer. [naijdate.com]
Titus then said, “Auntie Hunt, I’m going to finish my breakfast now. You can talk to Sonny. He wanted to video chat with you during breakfast today. Last night, he waited to video call you, but it was very late by the time he got the chance.”
Liberty suddenly felt guilty. She’d been so busy that she hadn’t spent much time with Sonny, trusting Serenity to look after him. Sonny was so thoughtful, waiting up late just to chat with her, but she hadn’t been able to make time for him. She felt a pang of guilt. “Mom, I had a video call with Uncle last night. Auntie said you were very busy and told me to call you today instead so I wouldn’t have to stay up late. Mom, you need to eat well, sleep well, and take care of yourself,” Sonny said.
Liberty replied gently, “Thank you, Sonny. I will make sure to rest. You can call me anytime you miss me.”
Sonny said, “Mom, you’re busy with work, making money to support me and pay for my school. I need to be understanding and not disturb you too much. But when you’re free, call Auntie, so I know you have time.”
He worried that calling her might interrupt her work. He knew his mom worked hard to provide for him, so he didn’t want to be a bother.
Liberty smiled, “Sonny, you’re so thoughtful. I’ll try to come back as soon as I can.”
Sonny replied, “Okay, Mom. Let me know when you’re back, and Auntie and I will come home. But Auntie said we have to wait for Uncle to pick us up, and he said he’ll come get us after his business trip to celebrate the New Year.”
Sonny was excited about Zachary’s return, though he wasn’t in a hurry. He was still enjoying his time. He and Titus didn’t get to see each other often, only during winter and summer breaks.
Titus had a lot on his plate. His master gave him winter break homework, which included copying his medicine book at night. Sonny thought that compared to his own homework, Titus had it much harder.
