Chapter 2258
Liberty hugged him back. She spoke gently, “I’ve neglected you and haven’t been accompanying you
much because I’ve been too busy lately. Why don’t I take you to the seaside this weekend?”
“Is Aunt Ser coming?”
“We can invite her and Aunt Elisa too.”
Sonny said happily, “Okay. I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t say anything about not wanting to go preschool
anymore.”
Liberty pulled away from him and smiled. “I’m happy you can understand me and correct your
mistakes. You’re my good boy.”
She then pecked his cheek and Sonny kissed her back.
“Let’s go to preschool now, Mom.”
Sonny pulled Liberty’s hand and walked toward the door.
“I can carry my own bag, Mom.”
Liberty passed the bag to him. He carried it and exited the house with her.
Sonny waited as Liberty locked the door.
Then, Liberty turned around and was about to hold Sonny’s hand when she saw a man looking at them
from a distance.
That man was the drunkard she bumped into in the elevator last night.
The drunkard looked more sober than he was last night, but his gaze was still scary.
He kept staring at Liberty. When Liberty carried Sonny and was about to leave, the man grinned and
said, “So you live on this floor.”
Liberty’s heart skipped a beat.
She ignored him and quickly walked to the elevator with Sonny in her arms. She let out a breath of
relief when she saw other residents who lived on the same floor waiting for the elevator.
“Did you see the man just now? Does he live on our floor? I’ve never seen him before,” Liberty asked
after greeting a lady she knew.
The lady said, “Are you talking about the man who reeks of alcohol? He lives on the top floor. I heard
he broke up recently and had been drinking every day. He would lie down all over the place after
getting drunk and stare at women. Many are afraid of bumping into him.
“I’m not that scared because I’m old, but I’ll still avoid him whenever I see him. He rarely comes to ournovelbin
floor. I don’t know what got into him today that made him come to our floor.
“Liberty, since you’re living alone with Sonny, you should come home earlier at night and lock the
doors. Don’t get targeted by the drunkard. Who knows what he’ll do when he’s drunk.”
Liberty had been living here for a long time. Her same-floor neighbors were aware that she was a
divorcee living alone with her son.
The lady reminded her out of goodwill and Liberty said, “I will.”
The elevator doors opened. Liberty, Sonny, and the lady entered the elevator.
“Wait.”
When the doors were about to close, a person rushed over. Liberty heard the shout and instinctively
pressed the button to hold the doors open and let the person in.
The smell of alcohol permeated the air.
The person who rushed into the elevator was the heartbroken drunkard who kept staring at women.
After running into the elevator and steadying himself, he smiled at Liberty.
She ignored him and stepped backward with Sonny to keep a distance from the man.
However, the man continued staring at her.
