“Uncle Duncan,” Sonny said sweetly, “you have to come with Mom to pick me up, okay?” 
“Absolutely,” Duncan replied without hesitation, his voice filled with warmth. 
Even though Sonny was still standing right in front of him, Duncan already missed him. Letting go of the little boy felt harder than he had anticipated. 
Sonny slid down from Duncan’s lap and ran back to Hank, grabbing his dad’s hand. 
Hank glanced at Duncan, as though wanting to say something, but ultimately, he stayed silent. 
Finally, Hank spoke to Liberty and Duncan. “Liberty, Mr. Lewis, Sonny and I are heading upstairs. His grandparents are waiting for him.” 
Liberty nodded. “Alright.” 
She and Duncan stood still, watching as Hank walked away with Sonny. 
Sonny turned back every few steps, waving enthusiastically at the pair. 
Duncan clenched his fists, fighting the urge to rush forward, scoop Sonny up, and bring him back. He kept reminding himself over and over: Hank is his biological father. Sonny deserves to spend time with him. 
It was just two days. 
But those two days already felt like an eternity. 
Duncan silently thanked Serenity for taking Sonny to FC Manor during his winter vacation, ensuring the Brown family didn’t keep him longer than they should. If Sonny had stayed with the Browns for weeks—or worse, months—Duncan didn’t think he could have handled it. 
Moreover, Chelsea and the Browns might try to influence Sonny, planting harmful ideas in his young mind. 
Duncan sighed heavily, voicing his frustration. “It’s only been a few minutes, and I already miss Sonny. How am I supposed to survive two whole days? Hank might be his father, but I hate the idea of him taking Sonny for even a minute.” 
Liberty gave Duncan’s wheelchair a gentle push, guiding him toward the exit. She replied calmly, “Hank has changed a lot. He’s a better father now, and I trust him to protect Sonny. It’s only two days—they’ll have some quality father-son time. We shouldn’t worry. Even Sonny’s grandparents have softened over time. He’s their only grandson, after all.” 
Liberty’s tone was steady and resolute, but Duncan’s brow furrowed in frustration. 
“The Browns didn’t know how to value you or Sonny when they had the chance,” he muttered. “Now that they’ve lost you, they’re all trying to backpedal. And why is Chelsea hanging around again? It’s New Year’s—can’t she just stay home instead of stirring up trouble at her parents’ house?” 
Duncan glanced back at Liberty, his expression pained. “Liberty, what kind of life did you have back then? I can’t imagine dealing with someone like Chelsea constantly.” Liberty’s voice remained calm. “It’s all in the past. None of it bothers me anymore. I’m genuinely happy now. When I think about those days, it feels like I’m remembering someone else’s life, not mine.” 
Duncan’s gaze softened, though a protective edge remained in his voice. “If anyone in my family treated you like Chelsea did, I’d cut them off immediately. No one is going to make you suffer while I’m around.” 
Liberty smiled faintly at Duncan’s fierce declaration, touched by his unwavering support. 
“Your family isn’t like Chelsea,” she said gently. “They’re good people—well-educated and respectful. Besides, they see how much you love and protect me. They’d never cross a line.” 
Duncan nodded, though his protective instincts didn’t waver. He vowed silently to always stand by Liberty’s side, ensuring she never endured even a fraction of the pain she had faced in the past.
