Chapter 3808

Hank rarely took the initiative to help take care of Sonny. Back then, Liberty would be cooking in the kitchen and the father-and-son pair would be in the living room. If Sonny wanted some water, Hank would not get him a glass of water. Instead, he would have Liberty come out of the kitchen to feed Sonny water. What kind of father he was! Now that Liberty and Duncan had finally made their relationship public and were about to get married, Hank suddenly wanted to show off his “fatherly love”, worrying that Sonny might end up neglected. He kept saying those ridiculous things in front of Sonny, affecting the child’s mood and making him afraid of losing his mother’s love. How could Serenity not be angry? It was just that in front of Sonny, she did not want to curse anyone. “Aunt Ser.” Sonny snuggled up to Serenity’s chest. “Aunt Ser, I love you and Mommy the most.” Serenity hugged him tightly. “I love you the most too.” “Dad asked me if Mom and Dunc are getting married. Dad is worried that if they have a baby, Mom won’t love me anymore,” Sonny softly repeated what his father had said. “I don’t believe what Dad says. I don’t believe Mom would stop loving me. Dunc wouldn’t stop being nice to me either. Aunt Ser, can I trust Mom and Dunc?” “Of course you can. She’s your mom—if you can’t trust her, who can you trust? Your mom loves you the most. As for your dad… you can hear him out, but don’t take his words to heart, okay? And when you go to your dad’s place in the future, no matter what your grandparents or your aunt say, you don’t need to listen to them. Ignore them, and don’t give them any money. “You’re still a child and you don’t have any money of your own yet, so you don’t need to give them any. When you grow up and have your own income, if you want to give your grandparents some money, you can give them a little—like one or two hundred, just to show a little filial piety. They’re more biased toward their other grandkids anyway.” Sonny nodded. “Got it, Aunt Ser. I don’t like hearing what they say. They always say bad things about Mom and Dunc, saying Mom won’t be happy even if she marries into a rich family. That’s not true! Mom will definitely be happy.” “That’s right, your mom will definitely be happy, and she and Dunc will always love you. Don’t listen to their nonsense. They just can’t stand seeing you and your mom live a good life.” Sonny snuggled into Serenity’s arms and softly said, “Aunt Ser, I trust you. I believe in Mom, and I believe in Dunc too.” Serenity leaned down to kiss his forehead. “You’re such a good boy.” “We still have more than an hour to go before we reach home. You probably still want to sleep, right? Go ahead and rest for a bit.” Sonny softly said, “I don’t want to sleep anymore.” “Sleep a little longer, then after we get home and eat, you can play with Row. He’s on winter break, remember? Don’t you love playing with him?” Sonny looked up. “Didn’t Row get in the same car with us?” “No, Row is in the car behind us.” “Then I’ll sleep a little more. After we get home, I won’t need to sleep anymore and can play with Row. Aunt Ser, does he have homework? He always has a lot of homework.” Sonny still remembered that Rowan always had homework, so much that it was more than Laurence’s daily workload. Serenity smiled and said, “He just started his break, so let him relax a little. He doesn’t have to do so much homework and can have fun with you. Go to sleep now.” She gently pressed her nephew’s little head to her chest and softly coaxed him to sleep. Sonny had slept for a while on the plane and remained asleep while they were getting off the plane. If Hank had not woken him up, he probably would have kept sleeping. When he was allowed to sleep now, he closed his eyes and lay there for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said to Serenity, “Aunt Ser, I don’t want to sleep anymore.”
