Chapter 1620

Mrs. Lewis said, “I wonder what’s wrong with Liberty’s taste. My son is outstanding, yet she’s not interested in him. What kind of man does she want to marry?”

“Is it a must for divorced women to remarry? I guess Liberty is frustrated. It’s not easy for her to accept a new relationship. If Duncan doesn’t give up, he might spend several years trying to move Liberty.

Perhaps you won’t be stopping them from getting together. Instead, you might be the one begging Liberty to be with Duncan.”

Mrs. Lewis’s face darkened.

“It’s impossible for me to beg Liberty to be with Duncan unless pigs can fly.”

Derek was teasing her inwardly, ‘Don’t jinx it. It might be a slap to your face. You might beg Liberty to marry your son in the future, and pigs can actually fly.’

Duncan, who was keeping an eye on Sonny in the mall, was absent–minded.

He wanted to meet his mother and Liberty very badly. He wanted to hear about the conversation between the two of them. Would Liberty be more reluctant to accept his love?

However, he could not leave.

He had to keep an eye on Sonny.

Liberty had Duncan look after Sonny. If anything happened to Sonny, Duncan would feel sorry for Liberty.

With his hands shoved in the pockets of his pants, he paced back and forth at the entrance of the playground, but Liberty was nowhere in sight.

“Dunc, Dunc.”

Sonny was tired, and he wanted to go home.

He wanted to leave, but a staff member forbade him from coming out alone. She said to Sonny, “See whether your parents are around. If they’re not, you can continue playing. You can come out once they’re here to pick you up.”

Sonny did not see his mother, but he caught sight of Duncan. He shouted Duncan’s name.

Duncan was not paying attention to Sonny. Also, due to the noise in the playground, he did not hear Sonny’s voice.

The attendant walked up to Duncan and patted his shoulder. Just as Duncan turned around and looked at her, she asked, “Sir, are you the parent of that kid? He doesn’t want to play anymore. He wants to leave.”

The minute Duncan saw Sonny, he quickly replied, “Yes. I’m his uncle.”

While speaking, he strode toward Sonny.

“Dunc.”

Sonny pointed at Duncan and said to the attendant, “Miss, he’s Dunc. He’s very close to my uncle. Can he take me away?”

Duncan learned about the rule of the playground from Liberty. He added, “I came with his mom just now. His mom went to buy something, so I was stationed here to look after him.”

The attendant mainly wanted to confirm that Sonny knew Duncan. Given that Sonny seemed close to Duncan, she let Sonny out.

Duncan took Sonny’s shoes over and bent down. He carried Sonny and put him on his lap before helping him to put on his shoes.

Then, he put Sonny down and held his hand to leave.

“Dunc, my mom paid. Now that I’m done playing, I can get the money back.”

Sonny was referring to the deposit.

Duncan took Sonny to retrieve the deposit. After that, he carried Sonny and headed outside.

“Dunc, where’s my mom?” Sonny asked.
