Chapter 3952
Evan returned to Wiltspoon the same day.
Coincidentally, it was also the day Liberty and Duncan went to the Brown family’s house to pick up Sonny. Sonny had been staying there for two days, and during that time, Duncan couldn’t stop talking about him. He video-called Sonny every one or two hours, unable to go too long without seeing him.
To make those video calls possible, Duncan begrudgingly added Hank as a WhatsApp contact—despite his distaste for Liberty’s ex-husband. He swallowed his pride and made the connection solely for Sonny’s sake. Then, in a bit of mischief, Duncan started flooding his social media with pictures and posts of his growing relationship with Liberty. His goal? To provoke Hank, stirring envy and regret.
Meanwhile, at the Brown family’s house, Hank was upstairs packing Sonny’s clothes. He moved at an infuriatingly slow pace, clearly stalling to keep Sonny there just a little longer. He knew Duncan was waiting downstairs with Liberty, but he took his time anyway, deliberately dragging things out.
Duncan, on the other hand, refused to go upstairs. He remained outside with Liberty, respecting her choice to avoid stepping foot in her ex-husband’s home again. Instead, Liberty used the time to chat with some of her former neighbors.
Through their gossip, she learned that the Brown family hadn’t changed much. Chelsea, her former sister-in-law, still had a habit of freeloading off her parents. The neighbors recounted how, despite all the chaos that had unfolded in the family, Chelsea remained selfish and entitled. Liberty couldn’t help but think about how Hank had enabled his sister, always prioritizing her over his own wife and son. Back then, he’d willingly handed money to Chelsea and their parents rather than ensuring Liberty and Sonny had what they needed.
