Chapter 1099
Sonny was pretty well–behaved, but he was less than three years old after all. He had a cheeky side tohim.
Hank took Sonny to a nearby park the other day, and the playful and active child ran everywhere.Sonny would wander off far away if Hank took his eyes off the boy for one second. It frightened Hankas he thought he had lost his child.
Since then, Hank did not want to take his son out anymore.
In fact, the first time they went to the park together was because Hank ran out of excuses not to go.
Sonny sensibly asked, “Oh. Do you need to work?”
Hank lied, “Yeah. I need to work and make money.”
He still had no luck in the job department.
Since it appeared Liberty was doing well with her business, it got Hank into thinking of setting up abusiness with Jessica after the wedding. They could be their own boss.
Without needing to take orders from other people, they could work on their own schedule.
Would Zachary come after him if Hank were to set up a business though?
Hank’s worst fear was Zachary having it in for him all the way.
Worse came to worst, Hank would become an e–hailing driver. It would be tough, but at least he wouldhave an income.
It had not slipped Hank’s mind that he still held the roles of a husband and a father. He had theresponsibility of bringing home the bacon resting on his shoulder.
“Oh.”
Sonny was rather accepting that his father needed to work because Mom had always told him that inthe past. It was not old news. The little man knew his father had to go to work every day.
Seeing that her ex–husband was here again, Liberty really did not want to give him the time of day–notlike she had time to spare anyway.
Hank carried his son to Liberty and said, “Liberty, I haven’t had breakfast. Get me your recommendedbreakfast set.”
Before Liberty answered, Mrs. Lane jumped in while serving the other customers. She said, “Mr.Brown, please proceed to pay at the cash register. You can pay, find a seat, and wait for your meal.”
Hank replied, “I’m Sonny’s father. Do I need to pay? Liberty, we were once husband and wife. What is abreakfast set going to cost you? Can’t you treat me to breakfast?”
Although Hank still had a bit of savings after renovating the marital home and giving the Yatesesfinancial support, he wanted to scrimp wherever he could since he was without an income now.
Besides, he had always pinched pennies with Liberty.
The couple was going halves on expenses the last few months before the divorce.
Nimble behind the grill, Liberty said, “Mr. Brown, don’t talk to me about our marriage. I don’t want tofight because Sonny is here, and I have lots of customers too. As Mrs. Lane mentioned, you can pay if
you want to support my business. I’ll be happy to make your food. Otherwise, I’ll call the patrollingsecurity to kick you out if you don’t intend to pay.”
Hank grimaced. “What’re a few bucks to you? Can’t you buy me breakfast?”
“No. I can’t do that.”
His expression winced with anger before turning to Sonny. “Look at how petty your mom is, Sonny. Shewon’t even give me breakfast and expects me to pay.”
Sonny told him outright, “Dunc pays when he comes for breakfast. Aunt Elisa pays too, so you shouldpay.”novelbin
The only people Mom refused payment were Aunt Ser and Uncle Zack while the rest were expected tofoot their bill.
