Chapter 1621

“Your mom has something to deal with. She’ll be back soon,” Duncan lied.

“We’ll wait outside for your mom to come back.”

Sonny acknowledged it.

After carrying Sonny to the first floor, Duncan asked him, “Sonny, is there any snack you want to eat?

I’ll buy it for you.”

“Thanks, Dunc. But there are a lot of snacks at Aunt Ser’s house. I don’t need it.”

Nowadays, Sonny stayed the nights at Aunt Ser’s house. Jim would send Sonny to class in the morning. It was only when Sonny did not need to go to class that he would stay with his mother Aunt Ser and Uncle Zak loved him dearly. They always bought him a lot of tasty snacks.

“That’s Aunt Ser’s business. I simply want to buy it for you to express my kindness. Sonny, give me a chance to do this.”

Sonny stared at Duncan.

He did not quite catch Duncan’s meaning.

Duncan did not explain further but asked Sonny, “Sonny, have you thought of allowing me to be your father?”

“I have a father.”

Duncan choked before he replied, “I know you have a father. Everyone has one, but there are some exceptions. Some people have two fathers. Do you want to have two fathers? I’ll be your father, okay?”

Sonny shook his head. “Dunc, you’re an uncle to me. My father is my father. How can you become my father?”

He continued, “Having one father is enough. I don’t want two fathers. My mom has always taught me not to be greedy. We should let others have it. Dunc, why don’t you become someone else’s father?”

Duncan was at a loss for words.

Sonny was clever, but unfortunately, he was too young to understand what Duncan meant.

“Sonny, what I mean is I love your mom and want to marry her. Then, we can form a new family of three. You can call me ‘Dad‘.”

“But I have a father. You want to marry my mom as your wife?”

Duncan laughed and replied, “Yes. Do you agree?”

“My mom wants to be with me!” Sonny promptly expressed that his mother belonged to him!

“You’re definitely with your mom. I’m the one who wants to join your family. Would you agree, Sonny?”

Sonny looked at Durican without uttering a word.

Duncan asked patiently, “Sonny, do you like me?”

“I like you, but I already have a father.”

Duncan responded, “But your dad and mom are divorced.”

“Mom said that Dad is still my dad even after she divorced him.”

Duncan was speechless.

“Mom. Mom is here.”

While being carried by Duncan, Sonny saw his mother from afar. He immediately said to Duncan joyfully, “Dunc, my mom is here to pick me up. I’ll ask my mom later whether she agrees for you to join our family. I’ll agree if she does.”

In actuality, Sonny still could not grasp Dunc’s message.

Nevertheless, Duncan was aware that he was a kid who could be easily deceived, so it was better to have his mother make decisions. Given that his mother was an adult, she would not be fooled easily.

As long as his mother agreed, he would be fine with it.

Indeed, he enjoyed playing with Dunc very much now.

However, Sonny did not plan to treat Dunc as his father. He did not want to be greedy since he already had a father. He should leave Dunc to be another kid’s father.

Duncan stopped in his tracks and turned his eyes to where Sonny was pointing at. Sure enough, he saw Liberty walking into the mall.

“Sonny.”

Feeling rather guilty, Duncan quickly reminded Sonny by saying, “Sonny, don’t tell your mom what we just talked about, okay?”

“Why?”

“This is our little secret. Only both of us can know about it. Don’t tell others, not even your mom.”

Sonny said, “But Mom isn’t someone else. She’s my mom.”

Duncan choked.

He patiently explained to Sonny several times, yet Sonny was still hazy about it. Sonny asked Duncan, “Dunc, are you too scared to ask my mom? Don’t be scared. I can help you ask Mom if she’s okay with it.”
