Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

“Duncan is a good man.

You'll be happy with him, Liberty.

I wish you and Duncan a lifetime of happiness—and maybe even a son soon.” Hank paused for a moment before adding, “Or...

maybe don’t have a son.

I worry that if you do, you might stop loving Sonny as much.” Even now, Hank’s selfishness was evident.

Deep down, he wanted Sonny to remain Liberty's only child.

In his mind, as long as Liberty and Duncan didn't have children, everything Duncan worked hard for would naturally go to Sonny one day.

However, seeing Liberty's current situation, Hank sighed quietly.

He knew his self- serving hope would never come true.

Liberty was sure to have another child—perhaps a daughter to follow in her footsteps and eventually take over the Farrell family in Jensburg.

But Hank couldn't shake his fears.

If Duncan had a biological child, would he still treat sonny as well as he did now? This worry had gnawed at Hank for some time.
