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

“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.”
Since Jessica had agreed to let the Browns visit Sonny and even allow Sonny to have short stays at the Browns‘
residence, Hank could finally talk about his son with his wife.
Rising to his feet, Hank walked up to Liberty, who was busy in the kitchen, and asked her through the window
between the dining area and kitchen, “Where’s my son, Liberty?”
Liberty took a glance at him and went back to work.
It took a while before she faintly answered. By then, Hank nearly threw a fit from waiting. Sonny’s asleep.”
“Asleep? Where?”
Liberty kept to herself.
Hank went on to say, “Your business is doing good, and you’re busy. It’s not safe to have Sonny here. What if he
runs outside, and you don’t realize it? Someone might just kidnap him. What are you going to do about it then?
“My son is such a cute boy. He fits the profile of what these kidnappers are after. I’m going to take Sonny with me
so my parents can take care of him for a while.”
Liberty took a fleeting glance at Jessica who was helping herself to breakfast.
Getting the message, Hank spoke in hushed tones, “Jessica said yes to it. She’s happy to have a child in the house.

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.”
