Chapter 3573
– Fortress Hotel
Liberty stepped out of the bathroom and initiated a video call with Serenity, who quickly answered.
As soon as the call connected, Liberty saw Sonny’s sleepy face.
“Mom.”
Sonny had been waiting for Liberty to finish work, unwilling to go to bed until she could call. He was at Serenity’s place and missed her dearly, so he stayed up late to talk with her.
“Sonny, why are you still awake?” Liberty asked gently, smiling.
Since arriving in Jensburg, Liberty had only seen Sonny through video calls, except for the time Duncan brought him over.
“I was waiting for you, Mom. Did you finish work? Is it snowing where you are? Is it cold? You should wear more layers to stay warm,” Sonny sweetly offered, showering his mother with advice.
Liberty felt a warm glow in her heart hearing this. “I just got some free time and thought about you and your aunt visiting FC Manor. It hasn’t snowed here in the past two days, but it’s still freezing. It’s colder than in Wiltspoon. I mostly stay indoors to avoid catching a cold. Sonny, don’t take off too many layers when you play. Listen to your aunt, eat well, sleep well, and have fun.”
Sonny immediately waved to his friend, Titus, who was also at FC Manor with him.

The adults had wanted to separate the two boys, concerned they would stay up too late playing, but they insisted on staying together, promising not to stay up past midnight. Eventually, the adults agreed.
Titus approached and greeted Liberty with a smile, “Hi, Aunt Liberty.”
Liberty returned the smile. “Hello, Titus.”
“Aunt Liberty, Sonny and I are sharing a room. Since he’s not asleep, I’m staying up with him to wait for your call.”
“Have you eaten yet, Aunt Liberty? Are you having a midnight snack?” Titus asked while rubbing his belly. “Sonny and I had something earlier, but now I’m hungry again. My mom won’t let me eat because I’ve already brushed my teeth.”
Titus could eat far more than Sonny, which is why he was taller and stronger, even though they were the same age. He was always running around, practicing martial arts, and staying active, while Sonny was much gentler by nature.
“Titus, it’s too late to eat again. You won’t sleep well with a full stomach,” Liberty advised with a smile.
Titus was bold and talkative, happily engaging with Liberty. He also chimed in when she spoke to Sonny.
“Mom, when will you be back?” Sonny asked, as he often did.
“Soon. You and your aunt should enjoy your time at FC Manor. I’ll come home once you’re back,” Liberty replied.
Sonny added, “Aunt said we’ll leave when Uncle comes to pick us up. He’s on a business trip again and didn’t take me with him, so I’m staying with Aunt at Aunt Jane’s house.”
Serenity playfully pinched Sonny’s cheek and said, “You’ve wanted to come here for a while, and now you’re blaming your uncle?”
Sonny giggled.
