That lady immediately stood in front of Liberty to block the drunkard’s sight. Then, she pretended to chat with Liberty and asked, “The child’s dad is coming back soon, right?”
Liberty replied, “Yes.”
Hank would be discharged soon and he would be going home, but not to her place. They had been divorced for a year after all.
The lady teased Sonny, “Do you miss your dad?”
He replied honestly, “I do. My mom brought me to visit Dad last weekend.”
The lady smiled, “Oh, you went to visit your dad.”
Sonny nodded vigorously.
Liberty knew the lady was doing it on purpose to let the drunkard know she had a man in her house who was about to return from a business trip and not to think about doing anything to her.
The drunkard did not say anything upon hearing that.
The elevator doors opened when it reached the first floor. The lady quickly pulled Liberty and Sonny out.
The drunkard remained where he stood. When Liberty walked past, he whispered, “I looked for you all night. I know you’re divorced.”
Liberty’s expression changed.
She was already the drunk man’s target.
Duncan’s bodyguard had escorted her upstairs last night. However, she exited the elevator before she reached her floor because of the drunkard.
She did not expect him to be looking for her all night. He must have been trying to find out which floor she lived on.
He even knew she was divorced.
Liberty lifted Sonny and swiftly walked out of the apartment building.
East Hill Apartments had been a safe neighborhood. The residents had never experienced any cases of robbery or burglary.
“I don’t know him. He was drunk.”
“He looks at you like how Dunc does.”
Liberty was speechless.
Sonny was clever.
Although he could not understand the drunkard’s words, he could feel the man’s burning gaze directed at his mom.
It was just like how Dunc looked at Mom.
“Do you want to move houses, Sonny?”
“My home is wherever you are, Mom. Do you want to move?”
