Chapter 1541
The sun rose. It was a new day. When Serenity woke up, she realized her sister was already awake. After Liberty was discharged, Serenity insisted that Liberty move into her and Zachary’s house to keep an eye on her while she was recuperating. Considering that she had to recuperate and take care of a three-year-old, Liberty agreed to her sister’s request. The mother and son moved into Zachary’s villa on the hilltop temporarily. Liberty brought her son to take a walk in the garden. During that season, Wiltspoon was starting to get hot. Many people could not resist turning on the air conditioner when the sun was up and blazing during the day. However, it was still cooling in the morning. Mornings in the villa were quiet. Liberty liked taking a walk in the garden in the mornings. She could exercise and admire the flowers at the same time. Zachary was not a fan of flowers and plants. In the past, they simply existed to beautify the villa. However, the villa ended up bein

“We won’t be open for a few days because school holidays start today. Liberty, your body hasn’t fully recovered. You should be lying down more.”Serenity put Sonny down. He raced ahead energetically while the sisters strolled behind him. “My bones will grow moldy if I keep lying down. I don’t feel any discomfort now. It’s just some itch and pain from my wound.“I’ll have to return to manage All You Can Eat after Jasmine visits her family.”Serenity and Liberty would be having a meal with the Sox family when Jasmine returned to visit them after their wedding day. After that, Josh would take Jasmine on their honeymoon. He had two months of marriage leave. While the sisters were walking, a maid came over and said respectfully, “Missus, Mr. Lewis is here.”Upon hearing the maid’s words, Serenity looked toward her sister instinctively. Liberty said indifferently, “Seren, whether he comes or not, it has nothing to do with me.”Duncan was holding back when she was still in the

“You didn’t sleep well last night?” Duncan asked his friend out of concern. He saw Zachary coming downstairs with a tense face. Zachary walked over and sat on the single-seated sofa. “Didn’t you get drunk last night?” Zachary returned a question. Duncan smiled. He said, “I only drank two glasses. I didn’t get drunk.”After a pause, he added, “You all have someone taking care of you after getting drunk. I’m single—I have no one to take care of me even if I get wasted, so I didn’t dare to drink so much.”Zachary scoffed. “Ms. Harmon would’ve been happy to take care of you.”With the mention of Lily, the smile on Duncan’s face faded. “Nothing will happen between Lily and I. She has moved out of my house too.”Lily was prepared to leave Wiltspoon. The partnerships she had been negotiating were more or less settled. When Mrs. Lewis started trying harder to get Lily and Duncan together, Lily told her the truth that she had not been wooing Duncan lately. Duncan’s attention was

Duncan saw the calmness in Liberty’s eyes. She truly was not interested in him at all. That knowledge made Duncan feel defeated, but he soon got over it. Liberty had experienced a failed marriage before. Her ex-husband’s family was also pestering her at that moment. She was repulsed by love and marriage as a result. Duncan would need a long time to melt Liberty’s heart and make her believe in love and marriage again. He also gave himself a few years to pursue her and wait for her reply. He was not in a rush anyway. He was willing to keep waiting unless Liberty got married to someone else. “Good morning, Liberty.”Duncan returned Liberty a greeting. Zachary left with Serenity with Sonny in his arms. As he walked, he complained to his wife, “Honey, I was drunk last night and woke up with a headache this morning. I think my headache worsened because I couldn’t see you after opening my eyes.”Serenity hooked his arm and said softly, “I didn’t wake you up because you w

Duncan stood still. He silently watched as Liberty walked past him. He only left after some time. He had preempted what would happen after he confessed to Liberty. He was also mentally prepared to wait several years for Liberty to develop feelings for him. Upon entering the house, Duncan received a concerned gaze from his friend. Zachary did not ask any questions as Duncan seemed alright. He just called him over to have breakfast together. He patted Duncan’s shoulder and whispered, “It’s okay. Take it slow.”Duncan smiled and said, “I’m not in a rush. I have a lifetime to spend on her.”He would not give up as long as Liberty did not get married to someone else. “Sonny is an important piece,” Zachary whispered. Duncan hummed in agreement. “I know. I like Sonny from the bottom of my heart.”He had liked Sonny even before he fell in love with Liberty, let alone now. “Let’s go and have breakfast.”Zachary invited his friend to eat together. Serenity and Liberty had

Camryn scolded Callum a hundred times over mentally. In the end, she got out of her car. Callum moved the moment she came out. He walked over and took her white cane gently. He guided her over to his car. “I’ll be the one to send you every day from now on.“Oh, by the way…”Callum gestured for two bodyguards to come over. They were bodyguards he mobilized from the manor. He usually did not bring bodyguards along when he went out. He was not as popular as Zachary, and he did not need bodyguards blocking off fangirls for him. When the bodyguards approached them, Callum said, “This is Ms. Newman, your future Mrs. York. You two will be guarding her from here on out. You’re not supposed to supervise but protect her. If there are problems that you can’t handle, contact me.”Those words were meant for Camryn. In fact, he arranged for two bodyguards to follow her to protect her and know her location whenever he wanted to meet her. Callum had tasted the pain of yearning for s

Not many people knew that Camryn was chosen for Callum by Grandma May.However, even if everyone did, they still could not guess the old woman’s intent.Callum also could not understand why his nana chose Camryn for him.It was only after knowing that she had long been involved in Newman Enterprise did he understand a little.Although he did not care about the Newmans’ assets, if he and Camryn became a couple and have children later, their children would be able to inherit the Newman family’s assets in addition to the Yorks’.That was the first thing that came to his mind.Of course, Callum did not think that his nana was after Camryn’s family assets, but Camryn herself.The York family had a fortune worth hundreds of billions, but the Newmans’ assets only amounted to a billion. Furthermore, there was a portion of their assets that would be seized soon and their worth would shrink significantly.There was no way his nana was after the Newman family property.She just understoo

“Have you reached? Do you want me to arrange for someone to pick you up?”Camryn had a deep impression of Dalton’s girlfriend. Although the two had only spent a short time together and his girlfriend was wary of her, she truly thought of his girlfriend as her future sister-in-law.Dalton laughed. “No need. We arrived last night and are staying in a hotel. We just finished breakfast and are about to go to your store now.”“You didn’t tell me that you came last night.”“You were attending Mr. Bucham’s wedding last night, so I didn’t want to bother you. Okay, I’m going to drive now. See you later. Your sister-in-law brought you a lot of local specialties.”Camryn smiled. “I’m looking forward to it. See you later.”After she ended the call, Callum asked, “Was it that Mitchell guy again?”“Your ears are sharp enough to hear. Why bother asking?”Camryn added calmly, “Dal brought his girlfriend over to spend the holidays with me.”“He has a girlfriend?”“He always had a girlfriend.
