“It’s up to you whether you want to do it. Don’t be scared to speak your mind if you don’t want to.”
Liberty did not want to force her son. She respected his choices.
Tilting his head, Sonny looked at his dad and contemplated for a while before asking, “Is my mom going?”
“Yes. Didn’t I give your mom an invitation the last time?”
“Oh.” Sonny bobbed his head. “Okay, Dad. I’ll do it.”
Hank smiled. He knew his son was close to him and would be happy to be his flower boy.
“Should we go pick an outfit then?”
Sonny turned to his mother once more.
Hank had to tell Liberty, “We should hurry if you want to come along.”
Paying Hank no mind, Liberty turned off the electricity and checked if the stove was off. With all that confirmed, she let the two workers knock off and said to Jim, “Jim, you can return. I’m going with Sonny to pick out a suit for him.”
Sonny had his lesson in the morning. The class in the afternoon was not necessary.
He was young, so William did not want to take a full day of training from the get-go. Sonny might not be able to take it and would give up in tears.
Just a step at a time.
Although Sonny was not endowed with the qualities of a natural fighter, he could earn enough skills to protect himself if he persisted in the training.
Since Liberty was tagging along on the trip, Jim was relieved. He then took off.
Jessica was glad that Liberty and her son would be without security. The plan today could go on with a chance of success.
Liberty closed the diner and took her son from her ex-husband. She faintly said, “You and your wife can lead us in the front. I’ll drive with Sonny in the back.”
Hank took notice of a car parked outside the diner when he arrived. He thought it belonged to someone else.
It was only now he realized it was Liberty’s.
“When did you get a new car?”
“Two days ago.”
