Chapter 3873
Although Sonny has the backing of several influential families, everyone hopes he will eventually thrive independently, standing strong without relying on others.
Duncan had not considered Sonny’s future education much, but he was aware that Liberty had high expectations for her son, while Serenity, as his aunt, was committed to guiding and nurturing him.
Sonny may only be in kindergarten, but he has already begun learning piano, chess, poetry, and painting. For now, the focus is on building a solid foundation and igniting his curiosity. Since he is still young, Liberty and Serenity want him to enjoy his childhood, especially during summer and winter breaks. When it’s time to study, he puts in hard work, and when it’s time to play, he plays just as vigorously.
Liberty nodded thoughtfully. “While he’s still young, let’s give him a few years of freedom. Once things are settled in Jensburg, we’ll consider moving Sonny there for school. I just don’t know if he’ll want to go.”
If Sonny isn’t eager to leave his family in Wiltspoon, Liberty knew they could always keep him there. Serenity, Audrey, and the Lewis family would assist in caring for him, which would ease Liberty’s worries. However, being so young, a long-term separation might be difficult for him.
Moving Sonny to Jensburg would mean uprooting him from his familiar environment, surrounded by loved ones. The transition would certainly pose challenges.
The distant laughter of Sonny and Rocco floated through the air, filling the space with happiness. Duncan looked around, unable to see them, but the sound of their laughter was enough.
“When the time comes, we’ll ask Sonny what he wants,” Liberty said. “If he chooses Jensburg, he’ll go; if he prefers to stay, he’ll stay. After New Year’s, you might end up going to Jensburg as well, and Sonny and I might stay in…
“Wiltspoon,” Duncan said, glancing down with a hint of guilt as he patted his leg. “Even though I can walk now, I’m not fully there yet. If I walk too far, the pain is unbearable, and I have to stop. I still need rehab, but by the second half of the year, I should be back to normal.” He continued, “I know I have limitations right now, but I can stay here, look after Sonny, and keep him safe while you focus on your work in Jensburg. No matter what happens, you’ll have our support.”
Duncan longed to move to Jensburg with Liberty. When she took over the Farrell family, he planned to change his surname to Farrell as well, becoming part of her family. All he wanted was to be by her side. However, given his physical limitations, he understood that he would only complicate things for her there. He reluctantly accepted that they would be living in different cities, at least for now.
“Duncan, this is my responsibility, and I’m ready for it,” Liberty replied, her tone resolute. “My aunt entrusted this to me, and I believe I can handle it. Don’t blame yourself. Just focus on getting better—that’s all I need. We have our whole lives ahead of us. After New Year’s, I’ll talk to Sonny and see how he feels about moving.”
Duncan nodded in agreement. Although Sonny was still young, both Liberty and Duncan wanted to respect his feelings and allow him to choose his own path without pressure.
Anything he was prepared for.
