Married At First Sight Chapter 1471
Chapter 1471
Mrs. Lewis thought about it and decided to see Liberty before visiting her friend.
With that in mind, she went to Liberty’s ward.
When the York bodyguards saw Mrs. Lewis coming, one of them went into the ward to tell Liberty.
The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis when she approached. They helped her knock on the door and opened the door for her.
“Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lane and another maid were dining in the small lounge. When they saw Mrs. Lewis come in, they quickly put down their lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.
“Oh, you’re all eating? Don’t mind me and continue eating. I just came to see Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis left the house after eating.
Mrs. Lane still escorted her into the ward.
Liberty finished eating, but Sonny ate slowly. His mother fed him while saying, “Sonny, you can’t eat so slowly in the future. You’ll have to eat by yourself when you go to preschool.”
“I know, Mom.”
Seeing Mrs. Lewis come in, Liberty passed the bowl to her son to let him eat by himself and was just about to get out of bed.
“Sit, Liberty. You’re still injured. Just sit.”
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly stepped forward to press Liberty down and stop her from getting out of bed. She did not like Liberty as her daughter–in–law mainly because she felt that Liberty’s background was not worthy of the Lewis family. Furthermore, Liberty was divorced and a single mother of a three–year–old child.
However, she was very moved by how Liberty risked her life to save her son.
“I’m much better now, Mrs. Lewis. I’ve recovered enough to be able to move freely. I’ll be fine as long as I don’t touch the wound.”
The first two days, her wound hurt so much that she could not sleep well.
It was much better these days.
“Have you eaten, Mrs. Lewis?”
“I have. I have a friend who was also hospitalized and happened to be on the same floor as you, so I stopped by to see you,” Mrs. Lewis explained. Her eyes sized Liberty up before lingering on her face.
She said in a tender voice, “You look much better now. When did the doctor say you could leave the hospital?”
“I can be discharged after another week.”
Mrs. Lewis hummed.
“Duncan came over earlier.”
Mrs. Lewis probed, “How long did he stay before leaving? I saw him just as he was leaving. He’s so busy with his work…”
Liberty was stunned. “Mr. Lewis came over? I didn’t see him.”
Mrs. Lewis was stunned in return. “You didn’t see him? Didn’t he come here to visit you?”
“I didn’t see him. Was he here to visit someone else? Maybe the other person’s ward happens to
be on this floor too.” Liberty added honestly, “Mr. Lewis is very busy, so he doesn’t come here often. Are you sure you saw him, Mrs. Lewis?”
After saying that, she smiled sheepishly and said, “What am I saying? Mr. Lewis is your son. There’s no way you would’ve mistaken someone else for him.”
Mrs. Lewis believed Liberty when she saw that Liberty did not seem to be lying.
She said, “Maybe he also came to visit a friend like I did. I thought he came here to see you. If he had just left, that means he came over before lunch break. He’s a very busy man, and you’re recovering well, so he doesn’t need to come see you every day. It won’t be good for him if work gets delayed.
“The business deals he works on are worth a lot of money and can’t be held up.”
Liberty was not a fool and knew what Mrs. Lewis meant. She said, “Yes, Mr. Lewis’s time is precious. He makes a fortune every minute, but interpersonal relationships also need to be handled well. I think Mr. Lewis came to the hospital early before lunch break to visit an important client or friend.
“Mr. Lewis has never come to my ward. I haven’t seen him again after that time he visited with
Ms. Harmon.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1472
Chapter 1472
Mrs. Lewis saw that there were no freshly delivered flower bouquets or fruit baskets in the ward and completely believed Liberty’s words.
She thought, ‘Did that boy really not come to see Liberty? But he admitted that he was here to visit her.‘
However, Liberty said that she did not see him.
There was only one possibility–her son came but did not enter the ward.
That was why Liberty did not see him.
In the end, the problem lay with her son.
“He was already here at the hospital and on the same floor anyway. Why didn’t he come see you?” Mrs. Lewis asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Liberty smiled and said nothing.
Duncan and her paths crossed frequently, but most of the time, it was because Duncan going to her store for breakfast.
He helped her a lot, but that was only because she was Zachary’s sister-in-law.
Mrs. Lewis looked at Sonny, who was eating by himself, and said, “I won’t bother you anymore, Liberty. You should continue feeding Sonny. I have to visit my friend now.”
“Sure.”
Liberty got out of bed and insisted on seeing Mrs. Lewis out.
Mrs. Lewis saw that Liberty could move freely and did not try to stop her anymore. The two walked out of the ward together.
“Take care, Mrs. Lewis.”
Liberty stood at the door and watched Mrs. Lewis leave.
Mrs. Lewis quickly walked away.
“Did Mr. Lewis come by?” Liberty asked the bodyguard.
He answered honestly, “Yes. He came for about twenty minutes but didn’t go in. He also told us
not to tell you. He just stood at the door for twenty minutes before leaving.”
Liberty hummed. She did not understand why Duncan came without entering her ward.
Did he really come to the hospital to see her?
Liberty felt a little uneasy when she thought of Mrs. Lewis’s implications.
Mrs. Lewis misunderstood and dropped her a hint because she thought Liberty had a little something with Duncan.
Liberty returned to the room and saw that her son had finished eating. She wanted to clean up the dishes, but Mrs. Lane hurried in to clean up.
Liberty lowered her son to the ground for him to walk around and sat back on the bed. She took out her phone from the drawer of the bedside table and sent a message to her sister.
[Seren, are you on your lunch break?]
Serenity replied, [I’m watching the store so I can’t take a break. Have you and Sonny eaten?]
[Sonny just finished eating. He’s a slow eater.]
[It’s fine if children eat slowly. Sonny is already very smart to be able to eat by himself. I’ve seen many three- and four–year–olds who still need their parents to feed them.]
Serenity felt that her nephew was exceptional.
[Seren, I have something to tell you. Mr. Lewis came over earlier but didn’t enter the ward. Your bodyguard said that he stood in front of my ward for twenty minutes before leaving, and he happened to meet his mother when he left.
[Mrs. Lewis didn’t come to see me. A friend of hers was hospitalized and happened to be staying on the same floor, so she stopped by to visit me. However, she was actually dropping me a hint. Why do I get the feeling that she thinks I’m pining for her son?]
Liberty confided in her sister, [I’ve never thought of Mr. Lewis in that way. He only helped me because of Zachary, but Mrs. Lewis thinks there’s something between us and hinted something at me. She said that Mr. Lewis is very busy and time is precious to him, and that he earns a lot of money every minute.]
Married At First Sight Chapter 1473
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 could not believe it.
When she met Duncan, she was a 200–pound fat woman who was ugly as hell.
She crashed into his car and paid him a sum of money for the repairs.
Although Duncan’s face was scarred, he was a CEO with a net worth of tens of billions. He would be able to restore his handsome face as long as he was willing to get his scar removed.
He was a little old, but he was handsome and rich. There should be many women who wanted to marry him.
How could he possibly like her?
Although she lost weight now, she was a divorced woman. It was not to say that a divorced woman could not find love again, but she felt that men of affluent families had much betterchoices. There was no need to choose a divorced woman like her. Furthermore, she had a three- year–old son.
“I’m telling you the truth, Liberty. Duncan likes you.”
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…“
Married At First Sight Chapter 1474
Chapter 1474
“Seren!”
Liberty said seriously, “I’ve never had such thoughts. I really don’t have any interest in Mr. Lewis, and Mrs. Lewis has already chosen a wife for him. Ms. Harmon is a very good lady.
“Even if I want to remarry, I won’t marry Mr. Lewis. We’re worlds apart. Mrs. Lewis will never choose me to be her daughter–in–law. If I get together with Mr. Lewis, I’ll still have to endure my mother–in–law making things hard for me again.
“Seren, I finally managed to jump out of the Brown family. You can’t expect me to jump into the Lewis family now, right?
“My former mother–in–law was a horrible person, but she doesn’t hurt others. The ladies from affluent families are not that simple. Do you think everyone is like your mother–in–law? It’s hard enough being the missus of a wealthy family. There’s such a large gap between Mr. Lewis and I, and Mrs. Lewis doesn’t like me either. Who knows what she’ll do to me if I become her daughter–in -law?”
Liberty’s head was crystal clear. She did not become complacent and smug just because an important CEO liked her. She did not try to rush into a relationship with him.
She knew very well that Duncan and she were not suitable, and she did not want to suffer at the hands of her mother–in–law again.
Now, she was raising her son and running her own breakfast diner. She no longer had to serve her family. Liberty felt that was good enough. It was good to be single.
“Liberty, I think Duncan will also be very persistent when it comes to a relationship. Now that he knows how he feels, he’ll take action and pursue you…”
Liberty was silent for a moment before asking, “Seren, do you think I should move my store elsewhere? I won’t rent a store that belongs to Mr. Lewis. I’ll stay far away from him and won’t accept him. He’ll give up eventually if he sees that he’s getting nowhere.”
Duncan was a large CEO. He would give up if he was rejected.
“Liberty, he and Zachary are close friends and they meet often. And Zachary is your brother–in–law. It’s impossible for you two to not meet.”
Liberty paused, and said, “You’re right I’ll just reject him. If he comes to my store for breakfast in the future, I’ll ask my worker to attend to him. I won’t talk to him.”
Since escape was not an option, she had to face it head–on.
Liberty felt that as long as she acted cold and ignored Duncan, he would not be able to stand it and give up on her voluntarily.
Compared to her, she believed that Duncan would soon understand that Lily was more suitable for him.
“Seren, why didn’t you tell me if you found out about Mr. Lewis’s feelings long ago?” Liberty complained about her sister hiding the truth.
Serenity said apologetically, “You’re still recovering, and Zachary persuaded Mr. Lewis not to confess to you so soon so as not to scare you, so I hid it from you.” *
If not for Serenity feeling wronged on Liberty’s behalf by Mrs. Lewis’s insinuations, she would have waited until her sister was discharged from the hospital before talking to her about it.
However, it was a talk they had to have sooner or later. It was better to talk about it now. 1
“Don’t hide anything from me again in the future. We’re sisters who’ve relied on each other for so many years. What is there that you can’t tell me? No matter what it is, I can face it.”
Liberty was shocked and never dreamed that Duncan would have feelings for her.
However, she did not like how her sister kept her in the dark.
In this world, her sister and she were the closest. There was nothing they could not say to each other.
Liberty remembered how Grandma May said that she could introduce a better man to Liberty and help her live a life better and happier than when she was with Hank. That was the best revenge against Hank.
She thought, ‘If Mr. Lewis doesn’t give up, I’ll ask Grandma May for help.‘
Married At First Sight Chapter 1475
Chapter 1475
“I’m sorry, Liberty.”
Serenity knew that she was wrong to keep her sister in the dark.
Liberty was right. They were sisters who relied on each other for many years. She could not hide the truth from her sister, even if she thought that it was for her sister’s own good.
Many people thought their actions were for the good of someone else’s sake, but was that really true? Had they ever asked what the other party thought?
“I know you’re worried about me, so I don’t blame you. Just don’t hide anything from me again. You don’t have to worry about this for me. I can handle it.”
“I believe in you, Liberty. You got this!”
“Yes.”
Liberty added, “Go back to work. I want to let Sonny take a nap.”
“I’ll come see you after the students finish class in the afternoon.”
“Okay.”
After the call, Liberty looked at her son.
Sonny was also looking at her.
“Naptime, Sonny.”
Liberty placed her phone back in the drawer and motioned for her son to lean forward. She wanted to pick her son up, but he refused.
“I can climb up by myself, Mom. Aunt Ser said that you’re still injured and can’t carry me.” Sonny climbed into the bed by himself.
Liberty reached out and touched her son’s head lovingly.
The best decision she made during the divorce was winning custody of Sonny.
Liberty did not need to get IV therapy in the afternoon. During lunch breaks, Sonny would rest in his mother’s bed.
The little guy had a routine. He lay beside his mother and touched her face with one hand. Then, he hugged her arm and slept peacefully.
Liberty looked at her son tenderly.
However, her mind was distracted by Duncan having feelings for her.
She did not understand why Duncan liked her.
Liberty did not doubt her sister. If Duncan did not like her, he would not keep watch at the entrance of the ICU for the entire night.
She reached out and gently touched her son’s face. She never considered remarrying because she was worried that her second marriage would be unhappy too. She was also worried that Sonny would be bullied and abused.
She had seen a lot of news of children getting hurt after a parent remarried and had another child. Some of them were even abused to death by their stepfather or stepmother.
Liberty was afraid.
She would rather raise her son by herself.
Now, she had an income, prospects for the future, and the support of her sister and brother–in- law. She had no problem raising Sonny alone.
Sonny did not lack love either.
Everyone loved him. Even though Hank was not very responsible as a father, he was still able to give Sonny fatherly love. Liberty believed that Sonny would grow up healthily surrounded by everyone’s love.
“Mom will always love you, Sonny.”
Liberty pressed a kiss on her son’s tender face.
After sleeping for less than an hour, she woke up just as Mrs. Lane entered.
“Ms. Hunt, your grandparents and one of your cousins want to see you.”
Liberty was surprised.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1476
Chapter 1476
She had not heard from her family since resolving the problem of the house left behind by her parents.
When they talked about their hometown, it was just her sister talking about the progress of her vegetable farms.
Serenity predicted that their vegetable farms would be ready for planting in early June. She planned to start planting a batch of spinach, cabbages, lettuce, eggplants, pepper, and so on.
Serenity knew more about what vegetables to grow than Elisa and Jasmine, so she decided on what vegetables to plant and how to manage them.
Jasmine and Elisa were responsible for the business side of things and signing orders.
“Let them in.”
Liberty did not want to have any contact with her family, but since they were her elders who came all the way here, she told the bodyguard to let them in.
It was Noah who came with their grandparents.
The old couple walked in front while Noah followed behind with a bag of fruits.
Sonny was still asleep, so Liberty went to the small lounge. When she saw the trio enter, she was silent for a moment before greeting her grandparents.
“Liberty.”
Noah put the bag of fruits on the coffee table and greeted her.
Liberty hummed and invited the three of them to have a seat.
“How are you, Liberty? Why didn’t you tell us when something like this happened?” Old Mr. Hunt asked about Liberty’s injury, looking concerned.
Old Mrs. Hunt also wanted to say a few words of concern. Her mouth opened, but in the end, she said nothing and pursed her mouth.
She could not get close to the Hunt sisters anymore.
They had fought fiercely in the beginning. Although the situation was resolved now, the two elderly did not want to cause trouble anymore and lived quietly in Scott’s house. However, they still could not get close to Liberty and Serenity. They could not pretend as if nothing had happened.
In Old Mrs. Hunt’s heart, she always felt that her two granddaughters, especially Serenity, were not filial. Serenity married into the richest family in Wiltspoon and became their missus, but she did not know how to help her cousins from her maiden family. She only cared about enjoying herself.
Not only did Serenity not help her cousins, but even her grandmom could not share her blessings.
If any other granddaughter of Old Mrs. Hunt married into a wealthy family, she felt that she would be worshiped by others and enjoy boundless glory and splendor.
Unfortunately, their original plan of letting Harriet take Serenity’s place fell through. Somehow, Harriet’s face turned into her eldest granddaughter’s instead. Their grandchildren guessed that their plan was leaked, causing their plans to fail after Zachary turned the tables.
They came to the city now because they were invited by Serenity to deal with the Brown family.
In exchange, Serenity would give her grandparents the money that their sons paid for rent as living expenses.
Old Mrs. Hunt disliked Serenity’s pettiness, but it was better than nothing. It was better to have an income of a thousand or so dollars a month than nothing at all.
The rent money received would be for Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt to spend anyway.
“I didn’t want to worry you. Seren and I have always gotten through everything ourselves.”
Liberty’s words had an underlying meaning.
Old Mr. Hunt seemed not to catch it and continued to ask concerned questions before saying, “It was Serenity who asked your grandmom, Noah, and I to come into town to help you.”
Liberty thought they were here to help her take care of the breakfast diner and refused their help.” There’s no need for that. I’ll be discharged from the hospital soon, and I have staff watching the store. I don’t need your help. You’re old now, so you can retire peacefully at home.”
“We’re not here to help out at your breakfast diner. Your former in–laws keep pestering you, so Serenity asked us to help keep them away.”
Old Mr. Hunt explained, “We just arrived today and found the place the Brown family rented. We stopped them from leaving the house and scolded them. We had a big fight before coming to see you. Liberty, just focus on recovering. Your grandmom and I will deal with those people.
“As long as your grandmom and I lie down in front of their house shouting for their neighbors to come watch the show, and with Noah in charge of taking photos, I guarantee they won’t dare even leave the house, let alone come to pester you.”
Liberty was speechless.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1477
Chapter 1477
No wonder it was so quiet and peaceful today. She did not hear any noise from her former in–law’s family.
So it was Serenity who helped her out.
She had to admit that it was a good solution.
Her grandparents were unreasonable and difficult people. Furthermore, they were already old, so they did not have to do much. They could control the Brown family just by lying in front of their door.
“Does Seren know that you’re here?”
“She knows Serenity arranged for people to rent a nice place for us, complete with all the daily necessities. Our unit is on the same floor as the Brown family. They have to pass by our door if they want to go out.”
Liberty could not help but laugh. “In that case, I’ll leave it to you, Granddad, Grandmom.”
She was tired of being pestered by her in–laws.
They kept trying to get her to remarry Hank, but Hank was already married to Jessica. Even though Jessica was arrested, they were not divorced yet.
Putting aside how Liberty would never go back to Hank, even if she wanted to, they should still wait until Hank divorced Jessica, right?
When she was the daughter–in–law of the Brown family, her in–laws joined forces to accuse her and instigated fights between Hank and her. They bullied her for not having an income yet made Hank go Dutch with her.
They wanted to force her to go out and earn money to support the family, but they did not want to help take care of Sonny. However, they were willing to raise their daughter’s three children. The monthly living expenses that Hank gave his parents were spent on Chelsea’s family as well.
Now, Liberty had walked out of the shadows of divorce and opened a small breakfast diner of her own. She finally had an income and was hopeful for her future, but her former in–laws wanted her to return to them. What did they take her for?
Did she have to be their daughter–in–law just because they wanted her? Then, they could kick her away again when they did not want her anymore.
For Sonny’s sake, Liberty did not argue with her former in–laws.
However, it was because of that that led her to be harassed by them all the time.
It got worse after Jessica was arrested. Olivia and Chelsea could literally come to the hospital thrice a day, saying things like they hoped she could forgive Hank and remarry him.
Old Mr. Hunt said, “We’re old and can’t help you much, but this is one thing that we can still help with. Don’t worry and just focus on recovering. We tried telling you not to marry that Brown boy, but you refused to listen.
“You’ll suffer if you don’t listen to your elders.”
Liberty smiled and said nothing.
When Hank and she got married, her grandparents brought her uncles and aunts to their door, but not to send their blessings. They wanted to ask for a bride price of three hundred thousand dollars. When Hank did not give them the money, they said they would not let her marry him.
It was certainly not out of good intentions.
However, she indeed married the wrong person.
“Well, I’m relieved to see that you’re fine. We won’t disturb your rest anymore. We’ll go now and keep an eye on that family. We won’t let them have the chance to pester you.”
Old Mr. Hunt also remembered what they did in the past, but he did not reveal his awkwardness. When he saw that Liberty was unwilling to engage in conversation, he stood up and got ready to leave.
“Grandmom and Granddad, take these fruits back for yourselves. I have plenty already.”
Liberty picked up the bag of fruits that Noah brought as she got up to see them off. She passed the bag to Noah and let him take it.
“Noah, Grandmom and Granddad are old now, so keep an extra eye on them. Call us if anything happens.”
Since the two elderlies were here to help her out, she had to make sure that they did not get angered to death by the Brown family.
Noah saw that his grandparents did not refuse to take back the fruits, so he took the bag and responded, “I know. Grandmom and Granddad are good at quarreling. That family won’t win against them.”
Old Mrs. Hunt suddenly spoke up and said smugly, “Exactly. There are not many people back in town who can beat me in a verbal fight.”
Liberty went back to her room and took some of the supplements and snacks that everyone had given her, filled a big bag to the brim with them, and asked Noah to take it with him.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1478
Chapter 1478
“Grandmom and Granddad, these supplements are very expensive, but they’re suitable for old people like you to consume. Keep them for yourself and don’t share them with others.”
Liberty could not eat that much anyway. She did not give her grandparents money, but she could give them supplements.
They harmed the sisters too much in the past. Even if they wanted to help her solve her troubles now, she could not forgive them immediately.
Her sister must have given them benefits as well to have persuaded them to help her.
“Liberty, you’re in the hospital now. You should keep the supplements for yourself.”
Although Old Mrs. Hunt refused verbally, she let her youngest grandson go up and take the large bag.
Liberty sent the three of them out of the ward and instructed Noah to take care of his grandparents. Then, she went back to the ward and called her sister again.
Back at Lewis & Co., Duncan had just finished talking to a client about a deal and was about to send the client downstairs when his secretary came up to him. The secretary whispered, “Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis is here.”
“I got it.”
Duncan already figured that his mother would come.
He bumped into his mother when he went to see Liberty in the hospital at noon, so he guessed she would come to talk to him again.
It had only been three hours, but his mother came all the way to his office.
Duncan personally escorted the client downstairs.
He met his mother on the first floor.
Mrs. Lewis saw her son escorting his client and did not do anything. She stopped there and waited.
Ten minutes later, Duncan came back inside, walked up to his mother, and asked, “Don’t you have any plans for the afternoon?”
“You younglings are the busy ones while your dad and I are left at home fiddling our thumbs. What plans would I have? Your dad went to play golf with his friends. There’s no one to accompany me, so I came here to sit with you.”
“Is Ms. Harmon not free today?”
“Do you think she’s an idle woman? She has a job too. Besides, how can she accompany me all day? She’s a filial girl. As long as you give her a title, she’ll definitely make time for me. She’s not like you, who doesn’t come home for days on end and only angers me when you do come home,”
Mrs. Lewis complained as she walked.
Duncan said, “Don’t you have three daughters–in-law? None of my three sisters–in–law go to work, and you have grandchildren too. If you’re bored, you can go take care of your grandchildren.”
The Lewis family business was taken over by his first two brothers. His third brother also had an important position in the family business. His three sisters–in–law stayed at home after marriage to raise their children.
Mrs. Lewis glared at Duncan and said, “Don’t try to get rid of me. I’m going to keep an eye on you until you and Lily get married.”
Only then would she be assured.
In short, with her around, she would never let her youngest son get together with Liberty.
Even if her son blamed her for this, she did not care.
He would understand her in the future.
If two people from different social status got married, it would be difficult for both parties. Duncan frowned and said, “Mom, I won’t marry Ms. Harmon!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1479
Chapter 1479
It was only the mother and son when they entered the CEO’s elevator, so Mrs. Lewis spoke impolitely.
She snapped, “You don’t have to marry Lily. I’ll find you another lady who’s a good match for you. In short, you can only marry a noble lady. You can’t marry Liberty!
“I’m serious, Duncan. I’m not joking. Untess hell freezes over, I’ll never agree to you being with Liberty.”
Duncan did not get angry at his mother’s stubbornness and said, “Mom, did you come here just to say all that to me again? I think there’s no need for us to talk about this.
“You don’t have to care about my business or my marriage. If you want me to give up on Liberty, bring Granny back to life. If Granny also doesn’t approve of me being with Liberty, then I’ll give up on her.”
Mrs. Lewis was so angry that she yelled, “Your granny passed away many years ago. If she could come back from the dead, she would definitely scold your ear off. In fact, your granny might actually rise from her grave if you get together with Liberty.”
“That’s all the more reason I should be with Liberty. I miss Granny. Granny doted on me the most since I was a child. No matter what I do, Granny will support me as long as I’m happy. She said that the most important thing is for a person to live life with a clear conscience free of regrets.”
Old Mrs. Lewis did love her youngest grandson, Duncan, the most when she was alive.
Mrs. Lewis gave birth to four sons. She had too many sons, so she did not spare as much energy for her youngest son.
She did not care for Duncan enough.
“You’re just spoiled by your granny!” Mrs. Lewis scolded him.
“You went to visit Liberty in the hospital today. Why didn’t you dare let her know?
“Duncan, you know very well that Liberty doesn’t like you. She only thinks of you as her landlord, as a friend. Her ex–husband is still pestering her too. They’ve known each other for more than a decade and have a son together. Maybe they’ll remarry in order to give their son a complete family.”
Duncan was silent.
He went to see Liberty at noon but did not go in because Liberty was eating. He did not want to bother the mother and son.
However, it was also because he felt that Liberty would become suspicious if he visited her too often.
Zachary advised him not to confess too soon, saying that he should wait for Liberty’s career to stabilize before courting her. That way, his chances of success would be higher.
Mrs. Lewis was still nagging her son when they returned to Duncan’s office. She tried her best topersuade him to give up on Liberty.
After all, the two were not together yet. It was just her son’s unrequited feelings. Mrs. Lewis felt that it would be easy getting his son to give up on Liberty now.
Duncan did not care about what his mother was saying. He felt that he had made his point very clearly. He busied himself with paperwork as his mother nagged him.
Beep, beep-
He received a new message from his phone.
Duncan picked up his phone and tapped on the message to see it. It was from Josh.
[Duncan, let’s have dinner together. Call a driver. We’re all drinking tonight to celebrate the end of my bachelorhood.]
Duncan replied to his friend, [Congratulations! Do you want to arrange for anything else besides dinner and drinks? For example, going to a nightclub?]
Josh immediately replied, [I have a wife now. There’s no need to go to a nightclub. As for you, you’re still single. It’s not a bad idea for you to hang out there. I’m warning you, don’t try to get me into trouble. I’ll punch you if you let my wife misunderstand me.]
Duncan laughed. [I was just messing with you. Okay, let’s have dinner together. We won’t go home till we’re drunk. Ugh, out of us three, I’m the only one still single.]

Chapter 1480
[There are perks to being single. Cheer up.]
Josh comforted his friend.
When there was no woman he liked, Duncan also thought that it was good to be single.
Now that there was someone he liked, he wanted to be like Josh. He wanted to end his status asa bachelor soon.
In the future, he wanted someone to care for him and give him warmth when he came home after work.
Liberty would definitely be a good wife!
Hank did not know how to cherish her, but if Duncan got together with Liberty, he would certainly treasure her.
“Who’s sending you messages, Duncan? Is it Zachary? Duncan, Zachary still feels a sense of novelty with Serenity, so he’ll side with his wife and sister–in–law. You should keep your distance from him until you marry Lily.”
Mrs. Lewis was confident that Zachary would stand on his sister–in–law’s side.
Josh’s fiancée was Serenity’s best friend. The Sox family was not bad; they were locals of Wiltspoon and owned several buildings and streets of stores for rent. Jasmine was worthy of Josh.
Furthermore, Josh and Jasmine got together thanks to Zachary and Serenity
Mrs. Lewis felt that Zachary wanted to let his sister–in–law marry her youngest son so the three friends would grow even closer.
“What are you saying, Mom? Are you saying Zachary is only with Serenity for the novelty? Zachary isn’t a fickle man. Since he fell in love with Serenity, he’ll love her for the rest of his life. The York family also accepts Serenity, so you should keep words like that to yourself. It’ll affect the relationship between our families if Zachary and the York family heard what you said.
“I told you–I won’t marry Lily! I don’t love her. I don’t even like her. I don’t want to waste her time. I’ve made it very clear to her.”
Lily only talked to him about business matters. She never brought up personal affairs with him. She was a smart woman.
She would not waste her time on an insoluble problem, and she would not feel ashamed of losing to Liberty.
“Josh went to get his marriage formalities done today. He invited us to dinner and drinks tonight to celebrate the end of his bachelorhood.”
Mrs. Lewis’s expression was displeased at her son’s lecture. “I know Zachary isn’t a fickle man, but there’s been no news about Serenity after so long. There’s a possibility that there’s something wrong with her body that makes it hard for her to get pregnant. If she really can’t have a child, do you think she can maintain her position as the missus of the York family?”
News about Zachary and Serenity’s argument at the hospital went viral. Although the trending search was taken down quickly, everyone started to have their own opinions. However, they simply kept those thoughts to themselves since it was not a good idea to voice them.
“How would you know if Serenity can have a child or not? Zachary said that he’s not in a hurry to have a child. Not even Liberty and Mrs. Stone are worried about Serenity, so why are you? I’ve said this before, Mom. You should keep those thoughts to yourself.”
Mrs. Lewis laughed sarcastically. “That’s because Zachary and Serenity have been married for less than a year. Just you watch. We’ll know which one of them has a problem next year. Zachary looks to be in the pink of health, so there shouldn’t be any problems with him. The problem is Serenity.”
Everyone in Wiltspoon knew that Mr. York spoiled his wife.
The couple was incredibly sweet, but she had no bun in the oven after half a year. It was natural for people to start having thoughts.
Duncan said coldly, “You don’t have to deliberately trod on Serenity to step on Liberty. I like
Liberty. I have my mind set on her. Whether or not you agree, I like her. I don’t want anyone but her!”
“Duncan Lewis, are you that eager to be a stepfather? Her son is already three years old!”
“Yes, I want to be Sonny’s stepdad. I like Sonny. I want him to be my son.”
“You-!”
Mrs. Lewis was infuriated by her son.
