“Sonny.”
Mrs. Brown entered the shop smiling and pulled up a toy car from her purse. She said to Sonny, “Look,Sonny. I bought you a toy.”
“Grandma.”
Sonny had no idea what happened among the adults, so he would still acknowledge his grandparents‘and father’s presence.
Liberty held grudges against the Browns, but she was ready to move on after the divorce. So long asthe Browns stayed out of her business, Liberty could keep her cool when meeting her ex–husband’sfamily.
She never spoke ill about her ex–husband’s family while Sonny was around.
No matter what, Hank was Sonny’s father.
Liberty put Sonny down.
Mrs. Brown crouched to get to Sonny’s eye level. She handed the toy car to Sonny in exchange for thepinwheel which was a gift from Duncan.
Call it her killer instinct but she had the feeling that Duncan was trying to get to
Liberty through Sonny.
For a divorced single mother to find a second chance in love, the most important thing was to seewhether the man was willing to accept her child. Would the man see the child as his own?
Sonny was the grandson of the Brown family. There was no way he could call
Duncan his father.
“I want this.”
Sonny did not care for the toy car Grandma gave him as he owned many of the same.
Aunt Elisa had given him so much that he had not gone through all the toys.
He preferred the pinwheel from Mr. Lewis.
It looked nice.
Sonny grabbed the pinwheel back.
“What’s fun about a pinwheel? Sonny, I can take you to get a new one if you like pinwheels. Just throwthis one away.”
Mrs. Brown tried to take the pinwheel away, but Sonny refused and pouted his lips, a look he madewhen he was about to cry.
In the end, Mrs. Brown gave up on getting rid of the pinwheel.
She was displeased with Duncan’s shameless effort to steal her darling grandson’s heart with a measlypinwheel.novelbin
Picking Sonny up, Mrs. Brown rose to her feet and asked, “Did your boss come by just now, Liberty? Ishe pursuing you?”
Liberty gave Mrs. Brown a look as if the latter was joking before faintly replying, “Mr. Lewis dropped byto give Sonny the pinwheel. Why do you think that? Besides, it’s my personal business and that hasnothing to do with you.”
Mrs. Brown grinned awkwardly. “I was just asking. Fine, if he’s not. You’re a divorcee with a son. Who’sgoing to raise someone else’s child? Liberty, be careful of anyone who wants to pursue a romanticrelationship with you. They’re just trying to trick you and get money out of you.
“You’re a millionaire now.”
It was her son’s money.
Liberty turned away to keep her hands busy and said, “I said it’s my personal business, and it’s none ofyour concern. You should be fussing over your son and Ms. Yates‘ wedding if you don’t have anythingto do.”
“Don’t bring up that woman. She makes me mad.”
Mrs. Brown somehow started to complain about Jessica to her former daughter–in- law.
“What’s the point of being young and beautiful? She’s extravagant with her spending. I doubt her salarycan keep up with her spending, so my son is footing all the bills.
“There are so many expenses involved with the wedding. The house needs renovation, and still, shedemands Hank to pay for the wedding and her family support. Hank said that the Yates are asking forat least three hundred and eighty thousand dollars and jewelry. Hasn’t Hank given her enough gifts inthe past?”
