“If you want to see Sonny in the future, call me and I’ll send him to your parents’ house, but you have to send him back on time.”
This was what Liberty had promised Jessica. She would not use her child to destroy Jessica and Hank’s relationship.
She would try not to meet Hank after the divorce.
“Okay.”
Hank had no problems with that.
“We’ll go to City Hall to complete the formalities now. I requested leave, but I have to go back to work after the procedure.”
Hank was also at peace with himself at the moment.
Liberty returned to her sister’s car and they went to the City Hall together.
Hank, on the other hand, drove with his parents and followed Serenity’s car.
Olivia even cried for a while in the car.
After being told off by her husband and knowing there was no turning back, she wiped her tears away and said to her son, “After the divorce is finalized, tell Liberty to go back and pack up her stuff and move out. Don’t let her stay for even one more night.
“Your father and I will go home first to pack up our stuff and we’ll move over to live with you. We’ll stay in the city for New Year’s.
“When your sister and brother-in-law get their leaves approved, tell them to bring their family over too. We’ll all get together for New Year’s. Also, tell that Yates girl to spend New Year’s with us. We need someone to cook for us.”
Hank knew his parents were heartbroken that he was determined to divorce and give up on Sonny’s custody, so he agreed to whatever was asked of him.
As for letting Jessica stay and spend New Year’s with them, as well as cooking for their family, Hank surprisingly did not find anything wrong with that.
In previous years, it was always Liberty who cooked for the family during New Year’s.
On the way to City Hall, Hank received a phone call from Jessica. She asked, “Hank, are the formalities done?”
