Sonny recoiled behind his mother.
Turning around, Liberty picked her son up and said, “Sonny, this is Mr. Lewis. You met him before.”
Sonny simply stared at Duncan. As polite as he usually was, Sonny refused to say hello to Duncan.
“The child is beautiful,” Mrs. Lewis complimented.
Mrs. Stone’s elder niece was broad around the beam, but her son was rather handsome.
“Duncan, your scary face scared the little guy. He won’t let you touch him.”
Mrs. Lewis tore one into her youngest son.
Since the incident when Duncan got a cut on his face, Mrs. Lewis was all for her son to go under the knife to remove the scar and get his good looks back.
However, the headstrong b*stard refused to take her advice and do the surgery. He had no consideration for his mother who nearly had a heart attack and cried so many nights over the accident.
Many years had passed, and the scar remained.
The once hunk now found himself single at thirty-five… Hang on. Duncan was about to celebrate his thirty-sixth birthday.
The sons of other families were fathers of two or three kids at the age of thirty-five. Yet, there were no takers for her thirty-six-year-old son.
As Mrs. Lewis did not often find Duncan taking to a child, she seized the chance to have a go at him.
With a smile, Duncan replied, “That’s just because I’m not familiar with Sonny. He won’t be scared of me when we see each other more.”
Mrs. Lewis frowned. “See each other more?”
“Liberty rented one of my shops to turn into a breakfast place. I pass by that area on my way to work, so Sonny will see me every day,” Duncan explained.
“Please excuse me, Mrs. Stone, while I say hello to your son.”
Clive and his wife were receiving guests on the other end, so they were not with their mother.
Mrs. Stone gave a nod smilingly as Duncan made his way to Clive.
