Chapter 1181
“Ahem…”
Grandma May cleared her throat. When Duncan looked at her, she reminded him, “Duncan, Sonnywasn’t scared by the robbers but by you. Look at how he’s struggling to get off you to the ground.”
“Dunc, let go of me,” Sonny asked again.
The little guy’s small face was tense. It was obvious that he was mad.
Dunc was too strong, hence Sonny could not break free from his embrace.
Duncan immediately put Sonny down and squatted as well. He grabbed Sonny’s shoulders instead andsaid gently, “Sonny, as long as you’re okay, as long as you’re okay.”
Sonny looked at Duncan with his big twinkling eyes.
Dunc treated him quite well.
Sonny could sense Dunc’s sincerity toward him.
Dunc was not teasing him and really liked him.
Sonny lifted his small hand and placed it on the scar on Duncan’s face. He lightly touched it and thenretracted his hand as if he was afraid. Seeing as Duncan was not in pain, Sonny reached out his littlehand again to touch the scar.
“Dunc, does it hurt?”
“Not anymore.”
It was extremely painful when Duncan was injured back then, and his handsome face was stained byblood. His mom was so frightened that her legs went weak, thinking that he would die from severeinjury.
Duncan’s sick grandmother almost died learning about his injury. Although she later knew that he wasonly marred by a scar, she was so terrified that her condition became worse. She died not long after.
When that happened, Duncan finally regretted it and turned over a new leaf. He quit the so- calledunderworld and started afresh.
He kept the scar as it was both a testimony to his prime in youth and a reminder that his rebellion led tohis grandmother’s premature death from illness.
The doctor had said that his grandmother could have lived for three to five more years with goodconditioning and care…
Before she passed away, she was still worried about her little grandson the most.
She touched the scar on Duncan’s face and wanted to say something but could not. In the end, her oldhand slipped from his face. At that moment, Duncan lost the grandmother who
loved him most.
For many years, he did not go for cosmetic surgery regardless of his family’s advice.
“But it’s so scary.”
Sonny commented softly, “It looks like a bug that bites.”
Duncan fell silent.
He liked Sonny very much. He did not know why, but he just liked the little one. Perhaps this was fate,but Sonny always refused to be carried by him.
Everyone said that Sonny was afraid of the scar on his face.
At this moment, Duncan listened to Sonny’s soft words. When Sonny gently touched his scar with hislittle hand, there was fear but also… A look of distress in his eyes.
The little one felt pain for Duncan.
Duncan pulled Sonny into his arms and let him go after a quick embrace. He then stood up andnaturally said to the old lady, “Grandma May, make more food. I’m eating here.”
“You came a little earlier, or you’ll only be eating instant noodles once the food is ready.”
Grandma May laughed and said, “There aren’t instant noodles here. Zack and Seren don’t eat them, sothere aren’t any at home.”
Duncan responded with a smile, “I’m not a picky eater. I’ll eat whatever there is to eat.”
He greeted Elisa when he saw her.
Elisa glanced back and forth between Duncan and Sonny and teased the former, “If Sonny were a girland of legal age, I’d suspect you have intentions for him. You looked so dearly at him just now that youreyes almost became heart shapes.”
Jasmine remarked, “Mr. Lewis isn’t treating Sonny as a girl; he’s treating him as his baby. What he’sdisplaying is fatherly love.”novelbin
Liberty was speechless.
If she claimed that Duncan’s affection for Sonny was fatherly love, would that not make her andDuncan a couple given that she was Sonny’s mother?
