Sonny asked, âMom, Uncle isnât coming to pick me and Aunt up soon, right? I havenât had enough
fun yet. I want to play a little longer.â
When Titus heard Sonny, he got worried too, thinking Sonny might leave for Wiltspoon early. He
quickly came over and said to Liberty, âAuntie Hunt, please donât take Sonny back so soon. Let him
stay a few more days. We havenât had enough fun yet. I promise I wonât fight with him over
anything, just let him play here longer.â
Liberty smiled and said, âOkay, Sonny can stay another week. His uncle should be able to pick him
up then.â
Titus thought a week wasnât long enough, so he negotiated, âAuntie Hunt, how about ten days?â
âTen daysâ¦â Liberty thought for a moment and said, âThatâs during my New Year holiday. Alright,
Sonny can stay for ten days, but you two better get along and not fight all the time.â
âAuntie Hunt, youâre so nice! I like you so much. I wonât fight with Sonny. Besides, he canât beat me
anyway. At most, weâll just argue.â
Sometimes Titus would lose those arguments to Sonny. When Sonny lost, he would cry, and when
Titus lost, heâd end up crying too.
He felt embarrassed when he cried, and his teacher would tease him, saying he was supposed to
be a man but cried too easily.
But Titus knew he was still just a kid, far from being a grown-up.
When Fabian cried, their teacher would smile and praise him for crying loudly, but when Titus cried,
the teacher would mock him. It wasnât fair.
Whenever Titus was at FC Manor, the teacher always seemed to favor Fabian. Titus decided heâd
have to talk to the teacher laterâit wasnât fair to be so biased. He was still a child and needed love
too.
Liberty gave Sonny a few more instructions, then said she had to get back to work. She promised to
talk to them later when she had time.
Serenity wanted to talk to Liberty too, but seeing she was busy, she stayed quiet. âAuntie, Mom said
we can stay here for another ten days!â Sonny happily told Serenity.
Serenity smiled warmly and said, âYou can play as long as you want. But when you get back,
practice the piano, do your writing, and learn your characters. When itâs time to play, play hard.
When itâs time to study, study hard.â
âGot it.â
Whenever Sonny was with Titus, he knew he had to study harder when he got back home.
It wasnât just Titusâhis classmates were all doing well too. Their families were wealthy, so even
though they were young, they had learned a lot. All the kids were very talented and would be their
familiesâ future leaders.
Sonny was lucky to get into the best and most expensive kindergarten in Wiltspoon, thanks to his
uncle, Zachary, who helped him get in.
Thankfully, no one bullied or looked down on him. He was handsome, charming, and well-spoken,
so people liked him. Even though his parents didnât have high status, his Aunt Seren treated him
like her own son.
His Uncle Zack, the eldest son of a wealthy family worth hundreds of billions, also loved him like his
own.
And his future stepdad, Duncan, was worth tens of billions. It was clear Sonny had a bright future
ahead.
Even if you didnât count his future stepdad, his uncle would train him well. When Sonny grew up and
joined the working world, heâd become a talented leader and wouldnât struggle.
When Titus heard Serenity and Sonny talking about school, he quietly ate his breakfast without
saying a word.
