Chapter 1100
Sonny might not understand that it was a business, but he knew that no one else but Aunt Ser andUncle Zack were the only exceptions to the paying rule.
Hank was dumbstruck for a moment before remarking, “I’m your father, Sonny. How can you compareme with Mr. Lewis? He’s an outsider. Besides, Mr. Lewis isn’t a good man. He’s scary.”novelbin
Sharing the sentiment, Sonny bobbed his head and replied in his childish voice, “Dunc is scary, buthe’s not a bad man!”
Hank did not forget the time he told his son to kick a fuss every time Duncan came looking for Liberty.Refusing to dwell on the same topic, Hank took the hint and talked about breakfast again. His son wasstubborn.
The little man said that Mr. Lewis was scary, but he was not a bad man. Despite Hank’s efforts tochange the boy’s mind, Sonny stuck to his guns about Mr. Lewis.
“Alright. I’ll pay. Happy now? I feel like it’s all about money for you after the divorce.
“You’re so petty. You hold every dime against me. We were once a married couple no matter what.”
Hank whined while putting his son down to take out his wallet. He pulled out twenty bucks from hiswallet and handed the money to Liberty. He said, “The breakfast set.”
Liberty took his money and gave him back his change.
“You wanted to split the differences in the expenses and bring money to every conversation we hadbefore we divorced. Now that I have nothing to do with you, have you no shame to freeload off me?”
Hank choked.
Women were such vengeful souls.
They went halves for a couple of months. That was all. It had been several months since the divorce,and Liberty was still hung up about the past.
“I’m Sonny’s father.”
“All You Can Eat belongs to me and not Sonny. You’re Sonny’s father, but you’re not mine. So don’t actlike I’m your child.”
Hank retorted, “You’ve changed, Liberty. You’ve become sharp–tongued. I bet you learned it fromSerenity. Your sister has married into an affluent family, and these families are all about etiquette andclass. Can she adapt with that temper of hers? You should talk some sense into Serenity. Tell her to bemore ladylike.”
Lifting her head, Liberty callously glared at Hank.
There was not another peep from Hank.
Serenity and Liberty had been living large since Liberty decided to go separate ways with Hank.
With Sonny in his arms, Hank turned around and walked away. He spotted an empty table as acustomer was leaving. Hank called Mrs. Lane to tidy up the table before taking a seat at the table withhis son.
Watching as Liberty dove back into work, Hank was brought back to the past. He slowly realized whyLiberty changed. No. Liberty did not change–she merely regained her shrewd and capable self.
The years Liberty was most foolish and gullible was when she was his wife.
They had known each other for more than a decade. He would be lying if he said he never had feelingsfor Liberty.
Liberty was good to him in the past because she loved him. Hank took her love for granted and thoughtshe was simply useless.
Now that she had stopped loving him… She became the intelligent and capable woman she once was.
Deep down, Hank was jealous of Liberty’s success in her career, so he manipulated her in the name oflove and got her to ditch professional wear for an apron.
Liberty’s life as a housewife revolved around her husband and child. Her whole world was caring for thefamily, from the parents–in–law to Sonny. Liberty had no time to go shopping or have a get–togetherwith former colleagues. As time went on, her former friends started walking out of her life.
She became out of touch with society. The daily bustle of household chores left her no time to dressup, and slowly, Liberty put no thought to her appearance.
