Chapter 517
Hank was waiting outside, but he kept staring at the two women in the café for fear that Liberty would suddenly go mad and beat up Jessica.
He was relieved when he saw Jessica coming out and hurried over to meet her.
“Jessica, she didn’t do anything to you, did she?”
Jessica touched her face and said, “Just the slap from earlier. After you left, she didn’t touch me again.”
Hank was slapped by Liberty too.
He was distressed as he said, “Jessica, I won’t let her touch you ever again.”

Jessica was silent for a while before she said, “Do you think I can’t bear a child? I’ll have my own child one day, so I’ll definitely be biased toward my child because Sonny’s not mine. I can’t treat Sonny equally.
“Other people will also call me a vicious stepmother. Do you want me to be reproached by others?
“Your parents can help you take care of Sonny now, but they’re getting older, so how many years can they care for Sonny? In the end, Sonny will still have to come back to us.”
Hank said nothing.
“Hank, let’s not fight for Sonny’s custody, okay? I really don’t want to be a stepmother as soon as I marry you. If you give up on Sonny’s custody, you just need to give three thousand dollars a month for child support. You don’t have to do anything else and just watch as Liberty raises your son for you. Isn’t that great?
“Sonny will always be your son, so it doesn’t matter who takes custody of him. He’ll still address you as his dad all the same when he grows up. As long as you pay for child support, he’ll also fulfill his responsibilities as your son when you get older. You won’t have to worry about so many things!
“Liberty said that if you give up on Sonny’s custody, she won’t ask for your help when Sonny goes to college or gets married. She’ll bear all of those as his mother. That’s a lot of money.”
