Chapter 316
Sonny did not stop with just one box.
Soon, his toys were scattered all over the living room floor.
Not too pleased with the mess, Chelsea shouted, Liberty, come out and tidy up the living room. Sonny threw his toys everywhere.”

Liberty walked to the kitchen door and checked out the situation in the living room before replying, Sonny can play for a while more. I’ll clean up later.”
She then went back to work in the kitchen.

Sonny was at a hyperactive age, going from one thing to the next every few minutes. He turned the living room upside down.
Furrowing her brows, Chelsea walked to the
kitchen door and leaned against the door frame. She asked, “Liberty, what did you give your sister to take away? It’s a big bag. I hope you’re not giving her the things Hank bought.
“Hank works hard for the family, and it’s tiring. Your sister’s married. She has her own family. Get
that in your head and don’t just leave all the good stuff to your sister.”
Liberty turned back to glare at Chelsea. Pulling a sour face, she said, “Seren doesn’t need me to give her anything, unlike some people who don’t spend their own money but expect their brother to pay instead. They would rather eat good food at their brother’s place than use their money to pay for it.”
“You!”
Liberty’s comeback made Chelsea see red.
Chelsea gave Liberty a dirty look before turning on her heel to walk away.
Once her brother was back, Chelsea was going to check with her brother to see if there was anything missing at home. The missing item must be the thing Liberty gave her sister.
Knowing that his mother and sister were at his place, Hank went straight home after work.
He entered the house to find a cluttered living room. He cried at the top of his lungs, “Liberty, look at the mess in the living room. Can’t you tidy up? Sonny’s toys are everywhere.
“What do you do at home all day anyway? Nothing.”
Liberty carried a plate of roasted potatoes out to feed her son before having her dinner. Faced with her husband’s accusations, she replied
sarcastically, “I do nothing all day. That’s why the living room is messy.”
Hank was stumped for words.
“Sonny did it. You know kids. Lucas always makes a mess at home. Your dad and I have to tidy up multiple times a day.”
Worried that the couple would fight again, Mrs. Brown quickly chimed in.
Hank grumbled something under his breath, but Liberty did not catch what he said.
With Mrs. Brown putting it out there, Chelsea had to quash her plans to feed the flames.
“Sonny.” Hank drew close and reached out to
stroke his son’s head.
Sonny greeted his father before opening his mouth for his mother to feed him.
“Did you not make beef stew for Sonny today?” Hank asked while watching his son enjoy dinner.
“No. Sonny’s two now. He can have something of
substance.”
“Okay, but you need to give him more protein. Otherwise, he won’t have a balanced meal.” Hank caressed his son’s head. The little guy took after Liberty and looked only a bit like him.
“Sure,” Liberty answered.
Since she had been busy looking for a job lately, the mother and son had been having meals at Serenity’s shop. Serenity would cook poultry and red meat for Sonny and he had shrimp and pork today. The food tasted good.
Sonny loved to eat.
“Is dinner ready?” Hank asked.
“It’s ready.”
Liberty put the feeding on hold to show the seafood receipt to Hank. She said, “All three hundred bucks are accounted for. Your sister complained about the size of the shrimps.”
