Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1181
“Ahem...”
Grandma May cleared her throat. When Duncan looked at her, she reminded him, “Duncan, Sonny wasn’t scared by the robbers
but by you. Look at how he’s struggling to get off you to the ground.”
“Dunc, let go of me,” Sonny asked again.
The little guy’s small face was tense. It was obvious that he was mad.
Dunc was too strong, hence Sonny could not break free from his embrace.
Duncan immediately put Sonny down and squatted as well. He grabbed Sonny’s shoulders instead and said gently, “Sonny, as
long as you’re okay, as long as you’re okay.”
Sonny looked at Duncan with his big twinkling eyes.
Dunc treated him quite well.
Sonny could sense Dunc’s sincerity toward him.
Dunc was not teasing him and really liked him.
Sonny lifted his small hand and placed it on the scar on Duncan’s face. He lightly touched it and then retracted his hand as if he
was afraid. Seeing as Duncan was not in pain, Sonny reached out his little hand again to touch the scar.
“Dunc, does it hurt?”
“Not anymore.”
It was extremely painful when Duncan was injured back then, and his handsome face was stained by blood. His mom was so
frightened that her legs went weak, thinking that he would die from severe injury.
Duncan’s sick grandmother almost died learning about his injury. Although she later knew that he was only marred by a scar, she
was so terrified that her condition became worse. She died not long after.

When that happened, Duncan finally regretted it and turned over a new leaf. He quit the so- called underworld and started
afresh.
He kept the scar as it was both a testimony to his prime in youth and a reminder that his rebellion led to his grandmother’s
premature death from illness.
The doctor had said that his grandmother could have lived for three to five more years with good conditioning and care...
Before she passed away, she was still worried about her little grandson the most.
She touched the scar on Duncan’s face and wanted to say something but could not. In the end, her old hand slipped from his
face. At that moment, Duncan lost the grandmother who
loved him most.
For many years, he did not go for cosmetic surgery regardless of his family’s advice.
“But it’s so scary.”
Sonny commented softly, “It looks like a bug that bites.”
Duncan fell silent.
He liked Sonny very much. He did not know why, but he just liked the little one. Perhaps this was fate, but Sonny always refused
to be carried by him.
Everyone said that Sonny was afraid of the scar on his face.
At this moment, Duncan listened to Sonny’s soft words. When Sonny gently touched his scar with his little hand, there was fear
but also... A look of distress in his eyes.
The little one felt pain for Duncan.
Duncan pulled Sonny into his arms and let him go after a quick embrace. He then stood up and naturally said to the old lady,
“Grandma May, make more food. I’m eating here.”
“You came a little earlier, or you’ll only be eating instant noodles once the food is ready.”

Grandma May laughed and said, “There aren’t instant noodles here. Zack and Seren don’t eat them, so there aren’t any at
home.”
Duncan responded with a smile, “I’m not a picky eater. I’ll eat whatever there is to eat.”
He greeted Elisa when he saw her.
Elisa glanced back and forth between Duncan and Sonny and teased the former, “If Sonny were a girl and of legal age, I’d
suspect you have intentions for him. You looked so dearly at him just now that your eyes almost became heart shapes.”
Jasmine remarked, “Mr. Lewis isn’t treating Sonny as a girl; he’s treating him as his baby. What he’s displaying is fatherly love.”
Liberty was speechless.
If she claimed that Duncan’s affection for Sonny was fatherly love, would that not make her and Duncan a couple given that she
was Sonny’s mother?
