Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

— After walking for half an hour, Duncan and Liberty returned to the hotel.

At the entrance, they ran into Zachary and Kevin, who had just arrived back.

“Duncan, you’re here,” Zachary greeted as he approached them.

He turned to Liberty, adding, “Hello, sister.” Kevin, following behind, joked with Duncan, “I told my brother you’d show up in the next couple of days.

It’s tough missing someone, isn’t it?” “You know what it’s like,” Duncan replied with a chuckle.

Kevin couldn’t argue—he had indeed felt the pain of missing someone.

“You two went shopping and bought a lot,” Kevin noticed.

Seeing the toys Duncan carried, he added, “Sonny’s got more new toys, huh?” “Yeah, I got Sonny some clothes and new toys.

I used to only give him windmills, so I thought I should mix it up a bit.” Duncan laughed at the memory of always giving Sonny windmills.

He had really liked the boy but didn’t know how to connect with him back then.

Seeing Sonny play with a windmill once made Duncan think it was his favorite, so he kept giving him one every day.
