Chapter 1126

“Sonny went with his uncle.”

“Mr. York? Isn’t Sonny asleep?”

Liberty faintly remarked, “He’s asleep. Zachary carried him away in that state. You can pick him up at York Corporation if you want to.”

Hank was speechless.

“If Sonny doesn’t want to stay at your place for a few days, you can visit him at Seren’s bookshop. It would be hard for me to find the time to look after him since I’m busy, but he’ll be spending a lot of time at Seren’s bookshop.

Furrowing his brows, Hank said nothing more.

Given a choice, Sonny would rather pick his aunt over his father.

Hank had once told his son that he would take him to the zoo. The little guy was happy, but he left with his aunt the next day anyway. Sonny was willing to give up on the trip to the ZOO.

He knew where he stood.

Hank had not been a good father. Although his son called him dad, they were not very close.

He returned to his seat at the table. Jessica asked, “You look upset. What happened? Did you get into another row with her? Is Sonny around?”

“Zachary took Sonny away. She said that we can’t make Sonny stay with us if he doesn’t want to. I can already tell that Sonny won’t want to stay with us. My parents have never taken care of Sonny before. I used to be busy with work, so I hadn’t spent much time with Sonny. I doubt he’ll want to live with us for a while.”

After a brief silence, Hank added, “We can visit when we miss the boy.”

Although freaking out inside, Jessica remained calm on the surface and spoke understandingly, “It takes time to bond even for fathers and sons. You should visit him often when you have the time. Take him out, bring him to nice restaurants, and have fun with him at the playground. He’ll learn to trust you as his father and be willing to stay with you.”

Hank answered, “Yeah. There’s no rush. We can take things slow.”

“Why don’t you tell Liberty that we’ll take Sonny to the zoo this weekend?”

“Sounds good. Sonny was jumping with joy when I said I would take him to the zoo.”

Hank had no idea what Jessica was up to. He thought Jessica wanted to get along with Sonny and eventually have a child of her own.

He accepted Jessica’s suggestion wholeheartedly.

Zachary carried the little man into the office, earning surprised looks from York Corporation’s employees.

When did their CEO have a son?

Was he not married for merely six months?

How did a six–month–old marriage produce a two- or three–year–old toddler?

Zachary had always had a shine to his nephew. Without the help of his bodyguards, Zachary carried Sonny out of the car and into the office building. Everybody was shocked by the love and care he had for Sonny.

No one thought it was strange that their CEO doted on his wife because the York boys were well–

known uxorious husbands.

They thought their aloof CEO would not have the patience to care for a child. It never occurred to anyone that he had great potential to be a stay–at–home dad.

Once Zachary carried Sonny into the lift, the two receptionists started their exchange in a low voice.

“Is that the boss’s illegitimate child?”

The receptionist glanced at her colleague and said, “Don’t you know that his wife has a sister?”

“I do. Boss’s wife lost her parents early on in life. She has been living with her sister for more than a decade–everybody knows that. Oh, I get it. The child is the nephew of the boss’s wife. I heard her sister divorced her husband and has custody of the child. The son is about two to three years old.”
