Chapter 718
“Liberty, I got to go. I’ll visit you and Sonny some other time.”
Mrs. Brown left these words before making the run for it.
Serenity carried Sonny out the door as they watched Mrs. Brown get into a taxi. Serenity clicked her tongue once it was confirmed that the old lady had left the building.
She shot off. “She’s never been so eager to see Sonny before, so why change now?”
Sonny was holding the toy car that Mrs. Brown stuffed in his hands before leaving. Taking the toy car from Sonny, Serenity asked, “Do you like the toy car, Sonny?”
“No.”

All of them could move whereas the toy car that Grandma gave him could not.
“Why don’t we throw it away?”
After much thought, Sonny answered, “For Lucas.”
He believed Lucas would not go after his toys if he had his own toy car.
“Sonny, Lucas will never fight with you over your toys anymore. If you don’t want to throw the toy car away, we can give it away to other children but not to Lucas.”
“Um… I want to give it to Jenny.”
Serenity carried her nephew into the shop and asked her sister, “Who’s Jenny, Liberty?”
“My neighbor’s little girl. She has play dates with Sonny.”
Serenity put the toy car from Mrs. Brown on the table. “Sonny said that the toy car is for Jenny.”
Liberty would not make the decisions for her son.
Since Sonny did not like the toy car given by his grandma and did not want to throw it away, Jenny could have it.
It did not matter to Liberty.
Her son had a pile of toys at home anyway. Elisa was generous, showering Sonny with toys every time she dropped by.
Elisa doted on Sonny.
Afraid that everybody might spoil Sonny too much, Liberty became stricter at raising him.
“Liberty, what did the old hag want?”

Serenity did not buy it that Mrs. Brown was here to see Sonny.
Liberty smiled sarcastically, “Do you think her story about visiting Sonny was legit? She came to whine about Hank and Jessica’s wedding. The family has to pay for the wedding, family support, and jewelry for the bride. It’s always about money.”
“They deserve it. Jessica better steps it up and spends all of the Browns‘ money.
Liberty was considerate of the family and never demanded anything excessive. The only thing she asked for was for Serenity to live together with her.
What did Liberty get in return for her understanding?
Betrayal.
“I hope for a lot of drama in the Brown family. I hope Hank and Jessica’s wedding will be ruined. Liberty, find a better man to marry. The happiness and success of your next marriage will be the best revenge on them yet.
“I can let Zachary’s nana and Aunt Audrey know if you’re looking for a second chance in love, Liberty. They’ve been there. They know a good man when they see one. They can check out the man for you.”
Liberty remarked, “Another marriage is not on the table.”
All she could think of now was to make money to buy a car and a house. She would be happy if she could raise her son well to get into a good college and find a good job.
