Chapter 1255
Liberty could not be bothered less with Jessica. Jessica could not get any useful news, so she had no choice but to return to
Hank’s side bitterly.
At the same time, she looked around the place.
Although the space was not large, Liberty tidied it up and decorated it in a cozy manner.
Jessica had to admit that Liberty was much better than her at housekeeping.
Hank was teaching Sonny how to piece up the building blocks since he seldom accompanied his son. When he looked at the pile
of scattered blocks and the assembly instructions, he found that it really was difficult to build.
He would never have the patience to construct something like this.
“Do you really know how to build that?” Jessica asked him.
“Why don’t you give it a try?”
Hank was having a headache and snapped at his wife when he heard her.
Sonny looked up at Jessica, then at his father, and asked an innocent and pure question, ” Dad, why is she always following
you?”
Hank was speechless.
Before he could answer, Jessica deliberately said gently, “Sonny, I’m your dad’s wife. You
can call me Mom too.”
“I have a mom. You’re not my mom!”
Sonny immediately refuted Jessica angrily. Liberty heard Jessica and came out of the kitchen.
“Mom!”
Sonny got up and ran to Liberty to hug her legs. He looked up and said anxiously, “Mom, you’re my mommy. She’s not my mom!”
Liberty carried her son and said coldly to Jessica, “Ms. Yates, it’s enough for Sonny to have me as his mother. He doesn’t need
you as his stepmother. Mr. Brown, please leave with your wife.”
Hank looked at his ex–wife and son in embarrassment.
Jessica said, “Liberty, I’m Sonny’s stepmom. A stepmother is also a mother. Did I say anything wrong? Sonny is Hank’s son, and
I’m Hank’s wife. It’s normal for me to say that we’re a family.”
“Jessica!”
Hank shouted in a low voice and pulled his wife’s hand, then said to Liberty, “We’ll leave now.”
He dragged Liberty out in a hurry.
He was afraid that Jessica and Liberty would get into a fight.
He slammed the door shut.
After the obnoxious couple left, Liberty carried her son to the sofa and explained, “Sonny, Mom and Dad have divorced, and your
dad got married again. That Yates woman is indeed your dad’s wife... She’s your stepmother.
“However, you don’t need to call her mom. I’m your only mother.”
Sonny did not know what divorce was, so he did not understand what his mother was talking about... but one thing was for sure,
he knew that he only had one mother!
His mom said that because of the divorce, they could not live with his dad anymore.
Sonny seemed to understand bits and pieces of the situation.
“Mom, why did you divorce Dad?”
Liberty stroked her son’s head and said gently, “It’s an adult thing. You’re still young, so you won’t understand. You don’t have to
ask either. All you have to know is that Mom and Dad will still be your Mom and Dad. Nothing will change that.”
Sonny seemed to understand.
“Go on and play on your own for a while, Sonny. Mom needs to work, okay?”
Sonny nodded. “Okay.”
Seeing the building blocks scattered around, Liberty helped her son clean up and said, “If you can’t assemble these blocks, put
them away for now. You can try piecing them together when you’re older.”
“Dunc is coming tomorrow. I’ll ask Dunc to teach me.”
