Chapter 3897 
“Dad!” Sonny shouted excitedly as he spotted Hank and ran toward him. 
Hank quickly stepped forward, scooping Sonny up in his arms. He peppered Sonny’s face with kisses, rubbing their cheeks together in a playful show of affection. To anyone watching, it seemed like the two shared a close and loving bond. 
In truth, Hank had been making an effort to be a better father lately. 
After a few moments of father-son affection, Liberty approached, pushing Duncan in his wheelchair. 
Hank’s gaze lingered on Liberty. Her complexion was glowing, her features softened by a gentle smile that hinted at her happiness. There was no trace of the tension or resentment she once carried. She radiated contentment, and Hank couldn’t help but notice. Last night had been her wedding night, and it showed. 
“I’m sorry, Liberty,” Hank said, his tone unusually apologetic. “I asked you to bring 
Sonny in when we agreed to meet at the gate. Chelsea showed up, and we got into an argument. I lost track of time.” 
“It’s fine,” Liberty replied, her tone calm. “It was just a few extra steps.” 
She handed Hank Sonny’s small suitcase, packed with clothes and toys for his visit, and passed over three neatly wrapped boxes. 
“These are gifts Sonny picked out for you all,” Liberty explained. “I’ll come back in two days to pick him up. Just bring him to the gate then. In the meantime, make sure to keep an eye on him, especially if your sister is still here with Lucas. Don’t let them fight.” 
Liberty’s voice held a firm undertone. While Sonny had been learning martial arts and was now stronger than before, Liberty still worried. The Brown family had a history of siding with Lucas, and she didn’t want Sonny to go through the same unfair treatment again. 
Hank nodded earnestly. “Don’t worry, Liberty. When I bring Sonny back in two days, he’ll be just fine. He’s my son—my only child. If I don’t protect him, who will? I know I messed up in the past.” 
Hank’s expression grew somber as he reflected on his previous mistakes. When Sonny and Lucas used to fight, he’d always blamed Liberty for not teaching Sonny better, completely overlooking Lucas’s behavior. 
Lucas, spoiled by his parents and grandparents, had developed a bossy and entitled attitude. He frequently snatched Sonny’s toys, and while Sonny wasn’t one to back down, he often ended up crying when the adults took Lucas’s side. 
Those days had been a constant source of conflict between Liberty and Hank, with arguments breaking out every time Lucas bullied Sonny. 
Looking at Duncan, Hank gave a polite nod. “Mr. Lewis.” 
Duncan returned the gesture with a quiet hum. 
Hank hesitated for a moment before asking, “Since you’re already here, would you like to come upstairs for a bit? Maybe have a glass of water?” 
Liberty declined without hesitation. “No, thank you. Duncan and I need to head back. We’ll see you in two days when we come to pick up Sonny.” 
Turning to her son, she added, “Sonny, be good. Listen to your dad. Mom and Uncle Duncan will miss you and come get you soon.” 
“Okay, Mom! I’ll be good and listen to Dad,” Sonny replied obediently. Then, turning to Duncan, he grinned. “Uncle Duncan, you have to promise to miss me while I’m gone!” 
Before anyone could respond, Sonny wriggled out of Hank’s arms and climbed onto Duncan’s lap. Wrapping his small arms around Duncan’s neck, he nuzzled close, his voice soft and playful. 
“You have to miss me a lot,” Sonny insisted, giggling. 
Duncan chuckled and promised, “I’ll miss you every minute, Sonny.” 
Satisfied with the answer, Sonny gave him one last hug before reluctantly letting go.
