Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602

Hank had only pulled his mother up when his sister went weak at the knees once more. Hank was in a dilemma as he had to hold his sister up too.

He told them not to mess with Liberty, but his family refused to listen and went against his wishes anyway. Hank simply could not get a moment of peace.

Hank had been taking a lot of heat at the office, and work had been hanging over his head. His boss did not look too pleased when Hank ditched work to come here.

He believed that at this rate, his family would cost him the over one million bucks he gave to Liberty to keep his job.

Likely spooked by the drama, Sonny clung to his mother’s neck without staring at his grandmother and aunt.

Duncan happened to stand in his line of vision.

As Duncan stood behind Liberty, Sonny’s eyes met Duncan with his head resting over his mother’s shoulder.

Sonny left quite an impression on Duncan. Although Duncan was a crude burly man, he loved children.

The boy was as cute as a button.

Duncan reached out to stroke Sonny’s head, but the latter cried in fear, “Mommy! Mommy!”

While settling her son down, Liberty noticed Duncan’s outreached arm awkwardly frozen midair.

“I–I thought your son was adorable, so I wanted to stroke him. He seems scared of me,” Duncan explained while awkwardly withdrawing his arm.

Liberty soothed her son. “This is Mr. Lewis, Sonny. He’s not a bad man. Don’t be scared.”

Sonny could not shake the fear. To shy away from Duncan, Sonny put his hands out and asked anxiously for Serenity, “Ant Swer, huggies! Ant Swer, huggies!”

Serenity took him over.

Feeling sorry, Liberty said to Duncan, “Sonny had gotten a nasty shock before, Mr. Lewis. He’s scared of strangers now.”

Duncan was not going to be hung up about it with a child. “It’s okay. I did scare your son after all.”
