Chapter 3878

second child. However, understanding how much Duncan loved her, she wanted to provide him with a biological child—someone they could both cherish together. She couldn’t solely focus on herself and Sonny; Duncan deserved consideration too.
“By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with,” Liberty said.
“Sis, you don’t need to be so formal! Just tell me what you need,” Serenity replied with a smile.
“After the New Year, I’ll be returning to Jensburg. For now, I think it’s best to keep Sonny here in Wiltspoon. When things settle down, I’ll ask him if he’d like to come live with me there. But if he prefers to stay, I would be incredibly grateful if you could continue to look after him. I’ll be busier than ever, and even with nannies, it won’t be the same; he’d feel too lonely.” No amount of care from a nanny could replace the love and attention Sonny received from his aunt, Serenity.
Liberty hadn’t yet asked Sonny how he felt about moving, but she was fairly certain he would choose to stay in Wiltspoon—at least for this year.
“If Sonny goes with you, I’ll miss him terribly. He’s grown up with me by his side; he feels like a son to me,” Serenity admitted warmly. “But if he decides to stay, I’ll take care of him, don’t worry. Maybe when he’s closer to starting school and you’re more settled in Jensburg, you can bring him there. You two are family; it would be difficult to be apart forever.”
Serenity had already planned to buy a home in Jensburg, ensuring she would be nearby. Her vegetable company was even expanding into the area. After her baby was born, she intended to rent some land in the towns surrounding Jensburg, set up a fresh produce market, and grow vegetables and fruits there. Her business could thrive wherever she wanted. Liberty nodded. “Once Duncan and I make…

“It’s official; I’ll see what Sonny wants,” Serenity said, agreeing, “Yes, that sounds good.” She then asked, “Has the Brown family been in touch? Hank knows that you and Duncan are getting married soon, and I imagine Sonny still wants to see his dad sometimes.”

Liberty responded, “No, Hank hasn’t reached out. He promised to stay out of my life unless it concerns Sonny. We’ve been divorced for two years, and he’s remarried. Now, he is just Sonny’s dad; beyond that, we are nothing.” Their divorce had been too tumultuous for any prospect of friendship.

“In a few days, I’ll let Sonny stay at the Browns’ for a couple of days and then bring him home for New Year’s Eve. He is their only grandson, after all, and it’s winter break; he should spend time with them,” Liberty continued. “Now that work has slowed down for the holiday, everything is quieter. Even Hank has taken a step back. Letting Sonny visit will give them some extra father-son time.”
