Liberty hugged him back. She spoke gently, “I’ve neglected you and haven’t been accompanying you much because I’ve been too busy lately. Why don’t I take you to the seaside this weekend?”
“Is Aunt Ser coming?”
“We can invite her and Aunt Elisa too.”
Sonny said happily, “Okay. I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t say anything about not wanting to go preschool anymore.”
Liberty pulled away from him and smiled. “I’m happy you can understand me and correct your mistakes. You’re my good boy.”
She then pecked his cheek and Sonny kissed her back.
“Let’s go to preschool now, Mom.”
Sonny pulled Liberty’s hand and walked toward the door.
“I can carry my own bag, Mom.”
Liberty passed the bag to him. He carried it and exited the house with her.
Sonny waited as Liberty locked the door.
Then, Liberty turned around and was about to hold Sonny’s hand when she saw a man looking at them from a distance.
That man was the drunkard she bumped into in the elevator last night.
The drunkard looked more sober than he was last night, but his gaze was still scary.
He kept staring at Liberty. When Liberty carried Sonny and was about to leave, the man grinned and said, “So you live on this floor.”
“Wait.”
When the doors were about to close, a person rushed over. Liberty heard the shout and instinctively pressed the button to hold the doors open and let the person in.
The smell of alcohol permeated the air.
The person who rushed into the elevator was the heartbroken drunkard who kept staring at women.
After running into the elevator and steadying himself, he smiled at Liberty.
She ignored him and stepped backward with Sonny to keep a distance from the man.
However, the man continued staring at her.
