Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1612
“It’s on the third floor, huh? There’s a lot of food on the first floor. Do you want to buy something to eat?”
Sonny shook his head.
Currently, he was not keen on eating or playing.
With Aunt Ser around, he had all kinds of good food.
Upon noticing that Sonny was not interested in buying things, Duncan took him straight to the third floor of the mall.
On the third floor, the kids’ playground occupied one side whereas the other was a fashion store.
When some parents came here to buy shoes, they would drop their children off at the playground and leave them to play there.
There was an entrance fee with staff members keeping an eye on the kids. The kids would not run out unless they wanted to
stop playing.
Even if they wanted to run out, the staff members would not allow the kids to do so without the presence of their parents.
Therefore, the parents would feel at ease. By placing their children at the playground, they could shop around the mall freely
without being annoyed by their children.
This had attracted many parents to spend at this mall.
Liberty bought an entrance ticket for her son. She asked Sonny to take off his shoes and enter the playground on his own.
Duncan asked concernedly, “Will Sonny be bullied by other people? There are a lot of kids here.”
“Usually, I’ll be around to make sure Sonny won’t be bullied. The workers are here to keep an eye too.”
Duncan got it.
He fixed his eyes on Sonny’s back.
As soon as Sonny entered the playground, he started playing with other kids.

He looked cute and was honey-tongued. He addressed other kids politely, which resulted in many kids turning into his
playmates.
Duncan felt relieved only after watching him for a while.
It seemed that Sonny had great social skills.
“Liberty, do you want to do some shopping?” Duncan asked Liberty, who was beside him.
Liberty shook her head. “There’s nothing I want to buy.”
Since she had nothing to buy, she did not want to shop around. Shopping was tiring, so she might as well sit here and watch her
son play.
“You can buy new toys, clothes, and shoes for Sonny. You can buy some new clothes for yourself as well.” Duncan tried hard to
persuade Liberty into buying things.
This would give him the chance to pay.
Liberty could not help but laugh. She said, “Sonny and I aren’t short of those things. Sonny, in particular, has everything. Seren
and Elisa keep buying him clothes, and he hasn’t gotten to try on many of them.”
The same went for toys.
Elisa enjoyed taking Sonny out shopping. Her spending power was astonishing. Every time she took Sonny out, she would come
home with her car full of new things.
Liberty had told her cousin numerous times not to buy abundant things for Sonny. There was insufficient space to place those
things in the house.
However, Elisa said proudly, “If there’s not enough space, get a bigger house. Since you’re capable of buying a house on your
own now, you should buy a big house as well as several wardrobes. Then, you’ll have enough space, won’t you?”
Liberty was left speechless.
She remained indecisive and reflected on Elisa’s words. ‘Sonny is your one and only son. Who should you love if not Sonny?’

Ring, ring...
Liberty’s phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
Liberty picked up the call.
“Is this Liberty?”
The moment she answered the call, a rather familiar voice rang out from the other end of the line.
She could tell that it was Mrs. Lewis’s voice.
“Yes, Mrs. Lewis. I am.”
Mrs. Lewis asked in a gentle tone, “Liberty, are you staying in Glenn Apartment?”
“Yes. What’s wrong?”
Mrs. Lewis’s question left Liberty feeling slightly dazed
Mrs. Lewis laughed and said, “Nothing much. I was bored at home, so I drove around and happened to be around your place. I
want to visit Sonny and you. Is now a good time?”
