“Sonny is doing well now. Are you planning to pick him up from kindergarten?”
“Yes.”
Serenity paused for a moment before responding. “Alright. I’ll message Sonny’s teacher to inform them that you’ll be picking him up this afternoon.”
“Thanks, Serenity,” Hank replied, his tone sincere and grateful.
Hank appreciated that Serenity was not making things difficult for him. Both she and Liberty were compassionate individuals. Liberty had moved on with her life and even found a new relationship. She had long since released any resentment she once felt toward Hank and had learned to coexist peacefully with him.
Serenity, on the other hand, still held some grievances against Hank. However, she recognized that he was Sonny’s biological father and played a significant role in his life. For Sonny’s well-being and healthy development, Serenity tolerated Hank. Whenever he expressed a desire to see Sonny, she did not obstruct him.
“When you pick up Sonny and take him home for dinner, please ensure he doesn’t eat junk food—especially fried chicken, potato chips, or anything high in calories. Those foods irritate his throat, and his last fever was caused by that.”
“I understand,” Hank assured her. “I’ll make sure my parents know not to feed him those foods anymore.”
Hank had learned from Serenity that Sonny’s fever occurred because his parents allowed him to indulge in fried chicken and potato chips. They had unfairly blamed Duncan, but Hank now recognized how much Duncan cared for Sonny.
Deep down, Hank understood the truth: Duncan’s affection for Sonny wasn’t a tactic to get closer to Liberty. Duncan genuinely adored Sonny first, and his feelings for Liberty developed later. Sonny’s intelligence and charm made him impossible not to love, so Duncan’s
fondness was only
natural.
Hank asked, “What about the pick-up card?”
“I’m at my office right now,” Serenity replied. “You can come by and pick it up from me here.”
Serenity thought this would be more convenient than going back to the Regent Residences, only for Hank to request that she deliver the card.
“Alright. I’ll come by to pick it up soon,” Hank agreed.
Serenity hummed in acknowledgment, and Hank, not wanting to interrupt her any further, ended the call.
Elisa and Jasmine, who had overheard her side of the conversation, looked at her with concern.
“Why did Sonny’s father call you?” Elisa asked. “Is he going to pick Sonny up from kindergarten?”
“Yes,” Serenity replied. “He said he’ll take care of it this afternoon. Hank’s parents went to pick Sonny up last time, but Sonny ended up leaving with my brother-in-law instead, which made them furious. When Sonny got sick afterward, my brother-in-law was upset, and they argued. Sonny came home asking why his grandparents always yell at people. He just couldn’t understand it.”
In Sonny’s eyes, his grandparents were always scolding someone. They had yelled at his mother in the past, but after the divorce, they began trying to win her back while directing their anger toward Duncan. Sonny didn’t grasp the complexities of adult relationships, but he was certain of one thing: Uncle Duncan wasn’t to blame.
Elisa shook her head. “Hank’s parents are something else. Honestly, Liberty was lucky to divorce him. Staying in that family would’ve been emotionally draining.”
Jasmine added, “Can you believe they had the audacity to scold Mr. Lewis? It’s pure jealousy. They’re bitter that Liberty found happiness in her second marriage while their son didn’t fare as well. They nearly ruined Liberty and Sonny’s lives, and now they’re…
“lashing out at anyone who supports them.” Elisa nodded in agreement. “It’s always the same with families like that. In-laws who side with their sons against their daughters-in-law often believe they can find someone better. But the irony? The ‘better one’ is always the person they attempted to push away.”
