Chapter 1166
“Mom, Sonny has a toy, and he’s not letting me play with it. I want a toy, Mom! I want Sonny’s toy!”
Lucas took quick paces to his mother and tugged on Chelsea’s clothes, demanding Sonny’s toy.
Chelsea always thought the world of her children while other people’s children could suck it. Putting her hand out at
Sonny, she said, “Sonny, hand over your toy.”
“This is mine!”
Sonny latched onto the Lego box like glue.
Chelsea went ahead to pull the toy off of Sonny when Liberty grabbed a kitchen utensil and slapped it on Chelsea’s
wrist. The pain caused Chelsea to recoil her arm.
“What are you doing, Liberty?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiberty put on a sour face. “I should be asking you that. That is Sonny’s toy. He can decide whether he wants to
share it with Lucas. Why are you taking the toy from a child?”
Chelsea was lost for words.
With a scowl, Mr. Brown gave his daughter a dressing down. Once Chelsea pulled her son to a corner, Mr. Brown
apologetically said, “Liberty, it’s fine if Sonny doesn’t want to share. It’s his toy anyway.”
“Why are all of you here?”
Liberty glanced at the family and asked.
Hank jumped in. “Didn’t my parents tell you last night? We’re taking Sonny to the zoo to see the tigers today.”
He then asked his son, “Sonny, do you want to go to the zoo with Dad?”
With sparkling eyes, Sonny inquired, “Is Mom going too, Dad?”
Hank glanced at Liberty before replying with a smile, “Mom is going too.”
“Liberty, you should close shop early today. We can have breakfast at yours and set out to the zoo. It’s an hour’s
journey to the zoo, so we must leave early. The children can enjoy more time there.”
Wiltspoon Zoo was huge and home to many animals.
Hank had gone to the zoo once on a weekend when he first started dating Liberty. Serenity was still a teenager
back then, and she tagged along.
Liberty was going to let her son go on the zoo trip with her former in-laws. Nevertheless,
she changed her mind when her eyes fell on Lucas. She was worried that Lucas might pick on Sonny if she did not
go along. Getting to her son’s eye level, Liberty asked, “Do you want to go, Sonny?”
Sonny blurted, “I want to go, Mom. I want to go with Mom and Dad to the zoo.”
He looked at Jessica, unable to fathom why this lady was always around his father.
Mom always stood by Dad in the past.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHank persuaded, “Come on, Liberty. We’ve never taken our son to the zoo. Let’s go together. Sonny has been
wanting to see the tigers.”
Mr. and Mrs. Brown echoed their son’s idea, trying to convince Liberty to join the family trip.
Truth be told, Liberty was not interested in going out with her ex-husband’s family. Nevertheless, she did not want to
put a damper on her son’s idea of fun. She faintly uttered, “I can leave after the customers are finished with their
meals.”
Seeing that Mom had given the green light, Sonny leaped in joy and then proceeded to urge his mother, “Phone
Aunt Ser, Mom! Tell Aunt Ser to join us!”
The Browns were speechless.
The only son of the Brown family did not forget to include his aunt in everything.
“I don’t know if your aunt has the time,” Liberty said. Still, she listened to her son and gave Serenity a call.
It would be nice for Liberty if her sister came along. At least, she would not feel awkward going on the trip with her
ex-husband’s family.
