As Jessica was not yet pregnant, Hank was afraid that his relationship with Sonny would become increasingly distant.
That was especially so when he saw Liberty and Duncan together. Even if he felt that Duncan could not possibly like Liberty, he was still worried that his son would call another man “father”.
He wanted to take the opportunity to take Sonny with him and raise him for a period of time, so as to cultivate their relationship as father and son.
He wanted to let Jessica get along with Sonny too. If Jessica could not get pregnant, and Liberty wanted to remarry, he would fight for Sonny’s custody and take him back.
Hank was still Sonny’s father, after all. In no way Hank could allow Sonny to call another man his father.
“They already know we’re divorced—why would they pester me? Even if they come, I’m not afraid of them. Sonny isn’t close enough to you all. Besides, you just married that Yates girl. What will she think if you take Sonny back with you?
“You’ll have a child with the Yates girl eventually, so I’m not comfortable with you taking Sonny. Your parents and wife have many conflicts too. If Sonny goes with you, your parents will definitely spoil him and invariably provoke Jessica. Only Sonny will be at a risk.
“Hank, I hope you can abide by the conditions we agreed on during the divorce.”
“Don’t talk to me about the conditions of the divorce. You got so much money from me.”
Hank thought about how bad his job was going now. He lost his bonus and could barely get by with his basic salary. His extra income was also cut off because those partners did not want to cooperate with Waltham anymore. Thus, he had no extra income.
He was glad he worked hard before and had more than a million as personal savings.
Even if he lost his job, it would not affect his life for the time being.
However, he still hated the person who caused him to lose everything.
It was said that breaking off a person’s financial resources was like killing their parents. Liberty must have told Zachary to do it.
Zachary wanted to help Liberty vent her anger, so it was equivalent to Liberty being involved. That was why Hank was furious with Liberty.
Liberty took her son back from Hank’s arms with a vague smile. “I promised you time and again that I won’t try to retaliate against you. Did you not understand my words? Are you blaming me now?
“Thank you for coming all the way here to tell me these things.”
After saying that, she carried her son upstairs.
Hank turned to look at her and raised his voice, “Aren’t you going to invite me up for a coffee?”
