Corey said, “Sonny, would you like to go out and play with me for a while? Dunc needs to discuss something with Zack and Seren.”
Sonny nodded understandingly.
Corey wiped her tears and said, “Zack, Seren, I apologize for any trouble.”
Serenity was not sure how to respond.
Zachary replied, “Mrs. Lewis, we’ll talk to Duncan. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure he goes to work as usual the day after tomorrow.”
Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off.
Corey responded, “Zack, I’ve troubled you again.”
“Not at all. Duncan and I are good friends, his matters are mine as well.”
Corey expressed her thanks once again.
Fortunately, her son had good friends like Zachary and Josh. With the caring assistance of such good mates during difficult times, he was slowly regaining his confidence.
“Sonny, let’s go. I’ll take you out to play. What would you like to do? I’ll accompany you.”
Corey held Sonny’s little hand and asked him as they walked.
“Grandma Lewis, do you have kites at home? I want to fly a kite, the wind is strong today.”
Corey smiled, “Let me check. There should be kites from when my grandkids were young. They might be in their playroom. Shall we check it out?”
“Okay. Will they be upset? We’re taking their things without asking.”
However, Corey had come to terms with it.
Her children should be allowed to pursue their happiness.
She did not want to continue worrying about that too. Duncan was turning thirty-seven. He was no longer a little boy. He knew what was best for him, and he would not make decisions that he knew he would regret.
After getting to know Liberty and spending time with her, Corey realized that despite having married and given birth once, Liberty was a good person.
If her son liked her, then so be it.
Marrying a divorced woman was better than staying single for the rest of his life.
Corey hoped that Duncan would recover soon. Then he could marry Liberty, and if she was lucky, maybe she would have another grandchild.
