Chapter 1473
Serenity looked at the message her sister sent and was silent for a moment before replying, [ Liberty, have you ever thought that Zachary isn’t the reason Mr. Lewis is good to you?]
Liberty asked, [What other reasons would he have? He only helped me because of Zachary. When I joined his company, he hired me because of Zachary. I heard him call Zachary.]
[I originally wanted to wait until you recovered and got discharged from the hospital before talking to you about this, but I feel wronged on your behalf at the insinuations that Mrs. Lewis threw at you.]
Serenity sent the message and called Liberty.
Liberty swiftly answered the phone.
“Tell me, Seren. What is it that I don’t know? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that?”
“Liberty, you were unconscious for one night when you were injured. It was Duncan who watched over you all night outside the ICU. He was also the one who saw you in tears and called the doctor. He didn’t sleep at all that night. You were still weak when you woke up, so you didn’t notice it.”
Liberty paused.
“He… He watched over me all night? He…”
“Duncan likes you. He realized his feelings when he saw you injured. In the past, he always said that he was just fond of Sonny and had no other thoughts about you. He only realized that he liked you when you were injured.” 1
Liberty was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone.
“Seren… Don’t scare me. H–How is that possible? Mrs. Lewis has chosen a good wife for Mr. Lewis. Ms. Harmon is a great girl who’s a good match for him. I saw them getting along quite well.”
Duncan liked her?
Liberty was speechless.
“Do you have any feelings for him?” Now that the cat was out of the bag, Serenity asked her sister how she felt about Duncan.
Liberty replied without thinking, “Seren, I only think of Mr. Lewis as a friend. There’s nothing going on between us, and I’ve never thought of him that way before. I also said that I don’t want to remarry. I just want to run my breakfast diner well. My dream is to have my own large hotel.
“I’ll raise Sonny till he’s old enough and let him take over the business. After he marries, I’ll lend a hand and take care of my grandchildren if he and his wife need help. If they don’t, I’ll travel around the world without disturbing their lives.”
Liberty suffered under the hands of her mother–in–law before. In the future, she would never be a mother–in–law who interfered with her son and daughter–in–law’s affairs.
She wanted to be a mother–in–law who her daughter–in–law liked, not a nasty one.
“Duncan really likes you, Liberty. Are you really not going to think about it? He looks a little rough, but he’s very honest and sincere. He’s much better than Hank. You’re still young…“
