Zachary left with the depressing feeling that came with being chased away by his wife.
After he left, Serenity returned to her seat behind the counter, took out her craft materials, and started working on her crafts. On the other end After dinner, Liberty carried her son with one hand and pushed the stroller out the door with the other
After going downstairs, she put her son in the stroller and pushed him in the direction of the outskirts of the community, intending to buy formula as well as diapers for her son.
“Hey, Liberty. Where are you going with Sonny?” On her way out, any acquaintances she ran into would greet Liberty and stop for a bit to play with Sonny
Liberty smiled and said, “I’m going to buy formula and diapers.” After the episode where Liberty chased her husband down five streets while wielding a knife, she became famous within the community.
Liberty was usually always smiling and looked like she had a good temper. Everyone said that you could not tell from her usual smile that she was daring enough to chase her husband down five streets while wielding a knife. It was retaliation for her husband’s abuse, but not many women would dare to do such a thing.
She became the topic of everyone’s conversation after tea for a while. However, people remained polite when they ran into her. The people in the community were more familiar with Liberty and her sister than Hank Brown, who they had met only a few times. The thing was, whenever Hank Brown returned, he was always in a rush and did not have the leisure to make conversation with the people in the community.
Lately, Liberty had lost some weight due to the stress of the job search.
She knew in her heart that when she went for interviews, the interviewers were internally disgusted by her obesity and ugliness. Liberty thought to herself that from tomorrow, she had to wake up early to go running in the mornings. She would work on finding a job while working on losing weight. Even her own sister had advised her to lose weight–and it was not just because of her outer appearance. She was thinking more so for her health. She was so fat that she was suffering from fatty liver disease.
Fatty liver could develop into cirrhosis if it became severe, and Liberty did not want to become a cirrhotic patient.
Having left the walls of the community, Liberty walked as she pushed her son’s stroller toward the store to buy formula.
In the past, it was always her sister who helped her buy the formula and brought it home.
It was a little bit far to go there on foot, but she just thought of it as shopping and taking a walk.
“Daddy.”
Sonny suddenly called for his father.
Liberty looked around frantically but did not see Hank Brown.
“Sonny, did you see Daddy?” she asked her son.
Sonny pointed at a car parked by the roadside as he called for his father.
What he meant was that the car was his father’s car.
Liberty looked at the car her son was pointing at. It was the same make and model as her husband’s but the number plate was not Hank Brown’s.
She smiled. “Sonny, that’s not Daddy’s car. It’s just the same make and model. The number’s different, so it’s not your daddy’s car.”
The kid rarely interacted with his father but could remember his father’s car.
Liberty thought her son must have been missing his father and said, “Sonny, are you missing Daddy? Mommy will call Daddy and let Sonny talk to Daddy, okay?”
After Hank Brown moved back home, he still left early and came back late as he did before. As Liberty no longer waited upon him, he even stopped going home for lunch and just had his lunch outside.
Liberty could not be bothered to care either.
The episode with the domestic violence had become an obstacle in their relationship neither of them could get over.
Liberty did not feel like she was at fault.
Hank was even less inclined to feel he was at fault. There was no way he would lower his pride and admit he was wrong to Liberty. In any case, the two of them were now uncomfortable bedfellows.
No matter the state their relationship was in, Hank was still Sonny’s biological father.
“Okay.”
Sonny answered obediently.
Liberty then took her phone out from the pouch on the stroller. Every time she left the house, she had the habit of putting her phone in there because it was convenient.
After getting through to Hank, he took a long time to answer the phone.
“What now?”
Hank Brown’s tone was not very kind.
He was currently at the business reception at Wiltspoon Hotel with Jessica Yates. Everyone in attendance was either elite in the industry or managers of companies both big and small.
“Your son misses you.”
Liberty could tell he was not in a kind mood and hurriedly said. She immediately passed the phone to her son so her son and her husband could talk.
Sonny took the phone and said in his childish voice, “Daddy.”
Hank Brown might treat Liberty badly, but he was still very gentle with his own son. He said a few things to his son over the phone, and without caring if his son understood, not even two minutes had passed when he promptly told his son, “Sonny, Daddy’s going to work now, okay? When Daddy’s earned some money, I’ll buy you some toys.”
“Not giving to guh,” Sonny said abruptly.
Hank was dumbfounded for a second before he realized his son was probably talking about his sister’s third kid. That nephew of his was always trying to snatch Sonny’s toys, and Sonny remembered that.
He laughed and said, “Okay, okay. Daddy’s only going to buy toys for Sonny, not buying any for him. Sonny, pass the phone to your mommy. Daddy wants to say a few things to Mommy.” Sonny obediently returned the phone to his mother.
Liberty had just put the phone to her ear when she heard Hank Brown scolding her through the phone, “What do you normally teach Sonny? You’ve taught Sonny to have no respect, no friendship, and no spirit of sharing with his cousin! I said I’d buy him some toys and he said he didn’t want to give them to Lucas.”
