Chapter 1125
Jessica started looking around the place the moment she set foot in the diner. She was disappointed that Sonny was not around, but she did not show it on her face.
It was the two servers‘ first day, so they had no idea about Liberty’s relationship with Hank. One of them came forth with a smile on her face, asking the couple what they would like to eat.
Hank brought Jessica to an empty table to sit down.
“Jessica, wifey, what would you like to eat?”
Before they went out, Jessica had demanded Hank to specifically call her “wifey” in Liberty’s presence.
Even though Liberty had no feelings for Hank, Jessica could not stop herself from seeing Liberty as her love rival.
It was probably because Jessica stole Hank from Liberty. Hence, she felt insecure that Hank would be taken by another.
“I’ll have whatever you’re having.”
Hank told the waitress, “Two breakfast sets.”
She took down their order and asked the couple to wait while she brought the food to them.
Most of the food was prepared in advance, except the main dishes which were made to order.
“Why don’t I see Sonny?” Jessica asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Hank did not know the answer to her question. By right, Sonny should be in the diner.
Did Serenity take him?
“I’ll ask Liberty.”
Getting the message, Hank spoke in hushed tones, “Jessica said yes to it. She’s happy to have a child in the house. It will make the place livelier, and my parents won’t constantly fight with Jessica.”
Liberty wanted to say no. Still, she had to consider the terms of the divorce. At the end of the day, Hank was Sonny’s father. Liberty said, “You can take him to stay with you if he agrees. You can’t make him if he’s not keen on it.”
She left the choice in her son’s hands.
Sonny was more than willing to have outings with his father, but he did not want to live somewhere with his mother out of his sight.
“Of course, he’s keen. It’s his home too. I am his father. My parents are his grandparents. My parents are used to looking after children. They’re bored out of their minds now that they have no little kids to take care of. They have been nagging me to look after Sonny.
“Don’t worry. You have Sonny’s custody and I won’t fight for it. I’m just trying to share the burden. It’s all for Sonny’s safety.”
Hank then added, “Where is Sonny sleeping? I’ll take him home after breakfast. It’s none of my business that you want to start a business, set up an eatery, or to make money, but it pains me to see my son getting up at the crack of dawn because of you.”
