Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Now that Liberty and Duncan are finally getting married, Hank has started making comments in front of Sonny, pretending to be a loving father but really just planting seeds of doubt.

He talked about the possibility of Sonny losing his mother’s affection, which left the child worried and unsettled.

Serenity couldn't help but feel angry, but she held her tongue in front of Sonny.

“Aunt,” Sonny murmured, resting against Serenity’s chest, “I love you and Mom the most.” Serenity hugged him tightly.

“Aunt loves you the most too, Sonny.” Sonny hesitated for a moment, then quietly said, “Dad asked me if Mom was going to marry Uncle Duncan.

He was worried that if Mom had a baby with Uncle Duncan, she wouldn’t love me anymore.” He looked up at Serenity, his voice wavering.

“But I don’t believe what Dad says.

I know Mom loves me, and Uncle Duncan is good to me.

Aunt, can I trust Mom and Uncle Duncan?” Serenity nodded firmly.
