Chapter 766

Nevertheless, that was Zachary’s business. Duncan would not interfere in Zachary’s affairs as he was only Zachary’s best friend.

“I see.”

Duncan took a fleeting glance at the items in the shopping cart. Zachary’s wife did not take the visit to Zachary’s home lightly since she bought a lot of good stuff. “Sonny.”

As always, Duncan would play with Sonny.

Sonny turned his head away before Duncan could touch his hand. He asked Liberty to hold him.

Knowing that her son was afraid of Duncan, Liberty picked him up.

“Sonny, I gave you a pinwheel. Why are you still afraid of me?”

Sonny wrapped his arms around the nape of his mother’s neck and buried his head against his mother’s shoulder, refusing to meet Duncan’s gaze.

Did Mr. Lewis think a pinwheel could win him over?

Sonny would not be taken in easily.

As if he would fall for that.

“Come, Sonny. Let me carry you to get more beautiful pinwheels.”

Duncan tried to take Sonny from Liberty.

Sonny put up a struggle and cried, “No, I want Mom. No Mr. Lewis. No pinwheel.”

He had broken the pinwheel given by Mr. Lewis and left the remains on the ground. Mom swept the broken pinwheel away while cleaning the house.

Once he got a taste of the pinwheel, Sonny was no longer attracted to it anymore. Feeling bad, Liberty said to Duncan, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lewis. Sonny’s still scared of you.”

Duncan had never once shown malice every time he bumped into the mother and son, even during the first encounter when Liberty scratched his car. However, Sonny shook at the sight of Duncan.

Sonny refused to let Duncan hold him.

Feeling the scar on his face, Duncan asked, “Is my scar that terrifying? My mom said the scar will make children cry.”

He did not believe it, but Sonny’s reaction was a rude awakening.

Duncan’s appearance haunted little kids.

After all these years, the scar on his face was no longer as harrowing as before.

Maybe his lofty build and rugged personality could not draw Sonny close.

Liberty examined his scar and remarked, “People can get used to it.”

Although it was subtle, Duncan could read between the lines. His scar was not the most pleasant sight.

Still, Duncan was not offended by the comment. He smiled and responded, “Yes, you’re right. People will get used to it. Sonny just isn’t used to it. When will the renovations in your shop be completed?”

“Probably March.”

Duncan did the math and nodded. “Not long now. I’ll support your business once your breakfast place is ready to operate. Sonny will get used to seeing me around and won’t be afraid of me.”

Then, he would finally have his wish to hug the little man.

Liberty was lost for words.

She knew her son was cute, but this was the first time a man was so persistent about being close to Sonny and holding him.

Serenity drove out to the entrance and Hank was right behind her.

Seeing Duncan standing with her sister, Serenity was taken by surprise.

She got out of the car, said hello, and asked, “Are you here to buy gifts, Mr. Lewis?”

Duncan replied with a grin, “No. The family butler will gather everything we need for the festive holidays. We don’t have to worry about that. I was passing by when I saw your sister and Sonny standing here. I stopped the car and asked because I thought they might need a ride home with the things they bought.”

Serenity glanced at her sister.

She got the feeling that fate drew her sister and Duncan together. They often ran into each other.

It was more than a coincidence.
