Chapter 3866

Liberty was destined to become the head of the Farrell family, and her marriage to Duncan provided them both with strength and support. It was a natural fit—they were a team.
With a smile, Liberty said, “We’ll rely on one another, trust each other, and move forward together.”
Duncan nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”
When Mrs. Lewis brought Sonny into the room, everyone fawned over him.
Rocco squeezed in beside Mrs. Lewis, reached out, and pinched Sonny’s cheek with a grin. “Sonny’s cheeks are so squishy! They’re delightful to pinch.”
Sonny blinked in surprise but retaliated by pinching Rocco’s face in return. “Brother Rocco’s cheeks are fun to pinch too!”
Rocco laughed, “Ah, mine feel a bit rough. Kids have the best skin.”
Just as he was about to pinch Sonny again, Mrs. Lewis swatted his hand away, gently scolding him, “Stop pinching, or you’ll hurt Sonny.”
“When I was Sonny’s age, my brothers and sisters would pinch my face all the time, saying how soft it was,” Rocco complained. “Grandma, you never stopped them! Now that I finally have a little cousin, you’re all protective. You love Sonny more than me.”
Mrs. Lewis chuckled, “You’re a troublemaker now, always getting into things like a little monkey. I get a headache just looking at you.”
It was true—at his age, Rocco was quite the handful. He loved taking things apart, from appliances to even doors, but he rarely managed to put anything back together. They often had to call repairmen or buy replacements because of his tinkering. Even the family pets would hide when Rocco was home, sensing that he would pet them relentlessly.
Only Duncan, his stern fourth uncle with a scarred face, could still get Rocco to behave. Mrs. Lewis shooed him away, saying, “Don’t corrupt Sonny with your antics.”

Rocco protested, “Grandma, before Sonny arrived, you repeatedly told me to look out for him, play with him, protect him, and treat him like my little brother. Now you won’t even let me spend time with him!” Determined, Rocco took Sonny’s hand. “C’mon, Sonny, let’s go play. It’s boring here, and we don’t understand all the grown-up talk.” Mrs. Lewis sighed and finally allowed them to go. Rocco’s mother quickly warned him, “Rocco, you need to be careful with Sonny. Don’t let him fall, don’t take him near water, and definitely no climbing trees! If Sonny loses even a single hair, you’ll be in big trouble.” “Mom, I understand,” Rocco replied, a hint of impatience in his voice, before pulling Sonny along. Before they stepped outside, Sonny turned back. “Mom, Uncle Duncan, Brother Rocco, and I are going to play outside!” Although Rocco could be mischievous, he was always polite and respectful, greeting Liberty as “Fourth Aunt” and Duncan as “Uncle.” Around Duncan, especially, he made sure to behave his best.
