Chapter 2784
Liberty asked, “What do I have that Serenity doesn’t?
“You must persist in going for rehab. When I’m not in Wiltspoon, you have to take care of yourself. If
you have time, you can visit Sonny. He’ll probably visit you too. He’s treating you better than how he
treats his own father.”
Duncan said smugly, “That’s because I love him with my heart and soul. His father only badmouths me
in front of him. Sonny is clever. He knows how to differentiate between the bad guys and the good
guys.
“The more Hank badmouths me, the lesser Sonny wants to be with him.”
After speaking, Duncan turned to look at Liberty. Her expression was calm. Her emotions remained
stable even when Hank was mentioned.
“What are you looking at? Do you think I still care for that man? He’s just Sonny’s dad now.”
Liberty said, “Do you think I still love him and that I’ll feel down when we talk about him? A long time
has passed. How can I still love and be affected by him? I wouldn’t have divorced him if my love for him
never changed.
“It’s better to end a doomed marriage early.”
Hank kept his promise. He and his family no longer interfered in Liberty’s life. The only connection
between them was Sonny.
However, Hank still could not accept seeing Liberty and Duncan together. He feared Duncan, the future
stepfather, was doing better than he was. Hence, he could not resist bad-mouthing Duncan in front of
Sonny.
Back when Sonny was afraid of Duncan, Hank would tell him that Duncan was a bad guy. Even then,
Sonny had always defended Duncan and dismissed his dad’s criticisms of Duncan, not to mention that
Sonny and Duncan’s relationship had strengthened since then.
Whenever Hank and Sonny met, Hank could not stop himself from bad-mouthing Duncan, saying that
he was crippled and that his being with Liberty would only drag her down.
He also mentioned that Liberty was going after Duncan’s money and that she was jealous of Serenity
marrying into a wealthy family. Now that an opportunity arose, she would do it even if Duncan was
disabled.
Anyway, there were all sorts of harsh words, especially when Sonny returned to the Brown family.
Olivia and Chelsea would only say worse things.
Sonny would return unhappy every time after meeting Hank. He also kept mentioning that he no longer
wanted to go to his grandparents' place and did not like his dad anymore.
Even if Hank bought him stuff, Sonny already had everything as wealthy families surrounded him.
Nevertheless, Sonny would not dislike Hank’s attempts to please him. He was still an innocent childnovelbin
and would not complain about everything. He simply hated Hank for speaking ill of Duncan and
scolding his mom sometimes.
To the child, his mom was the best.
Anyone who spoke badly of his mom was a bad guy.
“I’ll find Hank the next time he says those things to Sonny again. I’ve told him many times not to say
things like that in front of the child, but he never listened. Their family will never change.”
Whenever Sonny told Liberty about it after his visits, Liberty would contact her ex-husband to remind
him not to badmouth Duncan in front of Sonny.
Hank had no right to control her relationship with Duncan. Besides, Hank had promised not to disturb
her life anymore, yet he was still talking rubbish in front of Sonny.
He would apologize every time and swore not to say anything again.
Even so, there was still Olivia and Chelsea, whose children would also spew nonsense to Sonny.
That caused Sonny to be more unwilling to meet his dad.
It was the Brown family who single-handedly pushed Sonny to Duncan.
