Liberty nodded and answered, “I took a few days off. Sonny was frightened, so I wanted to stay with him.”
“Then what are you doing here? Where’s your son?”
Liberty was speechless.
Should she tell the truth?
Duncan looked around, but he did not see the strong and smart little boy.
However, the boy was afraid of him. Every time he saw Duncan, he was so afraid that he would burrow into Liberty’s arms as if Duncan was the devil.
“Sonny is taking a nap at home. Mrs. Lane is watching him, so I came out to run some errands.”
Duncan hummed and asked, “What kind of errands?”
When Liberty hesitated to speak, he laughed and said, “If you can’t tell me, then forget it. I was just being nosy because I happened to see you passing by and remembered that you took leave.
“Well, carry on with your business. I’ll leave now.”
Duncan retracted the large hand that was on Liberty’s bike, turned around, and left.
“Take care, Mr. Lewis,” said Liberty.
Duncan did not look back but raised his hand in goodbye.
The two went their separate ways.
In the hotel, Serenity spent a long time talking with Audrey and Elisa. Both the mother and daughter only left when Darrell called them.
Serenity sent them off at the entrance of the hotel before she turned and walked toward her own car.
However, when she turned around, she saw a group of people coming out of the hotel.
Amongst the group were two people she recognized. It was Zachary and her brother-in-law, Callum. She seemed to have seen the other one before, but his appearance did not ring any bells. The last time she saw him was when he was with Zachary at Beans and Cream.
