“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
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. Whe
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
“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 downst
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. Unless 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 w
[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 as a 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
Ring, ring, ring…Duncan’s phone rang. It was Zachary who called. Duncan immediately answered it. “Josh is inviting us to dinner tonight.” Duncan beat Zachary to it as he assumed Zachary was going to ask if he was free. The three of them were the closest of friends. Since Josh was no longer a bachelor and invited them to dinner, Duncan would go even if he was busy. “I know, he sent me a message long ago.” Zachary held his phone in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. He called Duncan while he was drinking coffee. “My wife saw through you.” “Saw through me?” Duncan did not get it at first. He soon understood and responded, “She saw through me? That’s good. I was wondering how I can say it.” Initially, Duncan wanted to act on his feelings after realizing them. It was Zachary who persuaded him to hold back. Zachary told Duncan that it was inappropriate to tell Liberty about his feelings at the moment because she was injured and still weak. He asked Dunca
Zachary went back to work. His wife would pick him up from the office in the afternoon, and they would go and celebrate Josh and Jasmine’s marriage together. Zachary could dive right back into his work, but Duncan could not focus on his. Duncan’s mom asked him right after Zachary ended the call, “Duncan, what did Zachary tell you?” “Mom, do I need to tell you the content of my calls? You didn’t even take me seriously when I was a child. Now that I’m in my thirties, you’re here to control me. Don’t you think it’s too late?” Mrs. Lewis choked. “Mom, you’ve finished what you wanted to say. I have to get back to work.” Duncan wanted his mom to leave. Mrs. Lewis said after a moment of silence, “Since Josh is treating you to dinner tonight, take Lily with you and let her slowly integrate into your circle of friends.” “No!” Duncan directly refused. Mrs. Lewis asked, “Do you hate Lily that much? What about her that is inferior to Liberty? She’s better than Liberty—be it h
