What should Liberty do if she failed to get custody of Sonny following the divorce?
The Browns were a nasty piece of work, in the same class as Serenity’s relatives. Serenity dared not imagine Sonny’s life if he were to stay with the Brown family.
The Hunt sisters had been caring for Sonny since the day he was born. Serenity loved her nephew like her own.
Her heart sank at the thought that the custody of her nephew would be given to the Browns.
“Liberty, if we do get there, we must fight for Sonny’s custody. Sonny will suffer and be bullied in their hands,” Serenity said softly.
Biting her lip, Liberty replied in a hushed voice, “I’ll do everything I can to secure full custody.”
While behind the wheel, Zachary chimed in. “You can go on with the divorce proceedings and fight for custody after you find a job. Otherwise, it’ll be easy to lose the custody battle.”
Although Liberty was Sonny’s primary carer and the child was closer to his mother than his father, Liberty had no income, which was detrimental to winning the custody battle unless Hank was willing to forfeit his parental rights.
“I’ll work hard to find a job. I’ll even take on an administrative job for Sonny’s sake.”
Liberty could not get a job as the director of finance, nor was she able to find work in other roles. Perhaps people did not take her weight kindly as it was bad for her image.
She wanted to take her time at finding a job, but now that Hank was cheating on her, Liberty could no longer be fussy. Her only wish was to find a job.
Zachary hummed an acknowledgment.
Soon, they arrived at the shop.
Zachary did not enter the shop.
“This is for you, Mr. York.”
Serenity gave one of the lunch boxes to Zachary and said, “You didn’t have breakfast. It’ll be bad for your tummy if you starve yourself. I’ll make a fresh batch at the shop.”
Zachary looked into her eyes for a minute before taking the lunch box from her.
“Serenity, I have a friend who’s pretty good at obtaining vital information. I’ve asked him to gather clues and collect evidence of Hank’s infidelity. Have a good talk with your sister. Don’t worry too much about it. I will help wherever I can.”
“Thank you, Mr. York.”
