“You should get enough sleep. Health is more important than anything,” Liberty said in distress.“Liberty, I’m fine.”Serenity did not sleep enough last night because of her attention-seeking husband, and Serenity did not want to share what happened in their bedroom last night.“Has Jessica been released?” Serenity suddenly asked.Liberty was silent for a moment before she said, “She’s pregnant.“She had just conceived before she was arrested. After she was in jail, she was in a bad mood and didn’t find out until now. It’s been three months now, and Hank is helping her to apply for bail.”However, Jessica would still have to be sentenced after giving birth.Serenity said, “Her child came just in time.”Hank still had feelings for Jessica.He was pressured by his parents and sister to divorce Jessica, but he refused.He also wanted Liberty to issue a letter of understanding so that Jessica could have a lighter sentence.Hank was cognizant that even if he divorced Jessica, Lib
Duncan walked in but turned around and left before he said hello to the Hunt sisters.Serenity was puzzled and thought, ‘What does this mean?‘Is he retreating?‘Or did he leave because he saw me here?’Just as Serenity was guessing what Duncan meant by leaving so quickly, Duncan came in again.This time, he had a bouquet of flowers in his hand.It turned out that he forgot to take the bouquet from his car.Serenity was stunned.She looked at her sister, but she saw that Liberty’s face was stoic.Since it was still early, there were no other customers in the diner except Serenity. The two shop assistants were sitting beside them eating their breakfast.Seeing that there was a customer, the two of them wanted to get up and tend to the customer, but when they saw that it was Duncan, the two of them sat down again and continued to eat their breakfast.Duncan’s pursuit of Liberty was so obvious that they could not even pretend not to know.“Liberty.”Duncan came over holding t
Duncan smiled and said, “Oh.”Serenity looked at her sister’s back, lowered her voice, and asked Duncan, “The florists aren’t even open at this hour. Did you bring this bouquet from home?”Duncan replied, “Yeah, I cut all the flowers that I could in the yard and made them into a bouquet myself.”“No wonder.”Serenity glanced at the bouquet of flowers.There were all kinds of flowers in the bouquet, not just roses.Duncan was a rough man. Although there were flowers and trees in his villa, he never once admired them. The butler had arranged for someone to buy them so as to add a bit of color to the landscape.Thus, not all of them were roses.Duncan cut all the flowers that bloomed in the villa to make this bouquet.The butler felt distressed when he found out that Duncan had cut off all the blooming flowers in the villa. However, he supported Duncan in pursuing his crush. Thus, the butler decided to go to the flower field at Wildridge Manor to buy a full load of roses to put i
Liberty was busy until after nine o’clock in the morning. As the number of people eating breakfast reduced, she was able to relax.Lily chose to enter the diner when Liberty was free.Seeing her come in, Liberty froze for a moment before she showed a polite smile. “Ms. Harmon.”“Ms. Hunt, you’re not busy anymore, right?”“I’m not busy now, but I’m ready to pack up and close the store. Ms. Harmon, what can I do for you?”Liberty and Lily did not interact much.Seeing Lily, Liberty thought that it must be because of Duncan.“Nothing much. I went to Lewis & Co. to sign a contract with Duncan and happened to pass by, so I came in to have a look. How’s your business going?”Liberty smiled. “It’s alright. I can still earn some after paying off the rent and workers’ wages.”“You make a really good breakfast. Duncan said that he likes to come over for breakfast. Take your time. You’ll get better and start earning more in the future.”Making breakfast was hard work because one had to
Liberty listened to Lily’s words and suspected that Duncan used the contract with Lily as leverage to make Lily come to her and put in a good word for him.Lily seemed to have read Liberty’s thoughts and smiled. “Duncan didn’t ask me to come here to persuade you. I just found out that Duncan kept getting rejected by you, so I couldn’t help but put in a good word for him.”“Ms. Harmon, I only consider Mr. Lewis as a friend.”“Is it because Mrs. Lewis doesn’t accept you?”“It has nothing to do with Mrs. Lewis. I truly only regard Mr. Lewis as a friend and have no other intentions.”Mrs. Lewis was one of the reasons, but she was not the main reason.Liberty did not accept Duncan because she did not love Duncan.She only regarded him as a friend and did not have any feelings for him.After Liberty divorced Hank, she vowed that she would not remarry in the short term.After Lily thought about it, she said, “Right. If you don’t have feelings for him, it’s hard to accept their love.
Meanwhile at Wiltspoon School, Elisa parked the car, took the car keys, and walked into Serenity’s bookstore.Serenity manned the store by herself and occasionally weaved some handicrafts when she was bored.When Elisa came in, Serenity had just finished making a bicycle.“Why are you making these things again? Didn’t you outsource it to others? You shouldn’t do so much work. If you fall sick from exhaustion, Zachary will get mad and ban you from doing anything. He’ll make you stay at home every day as a rich housewife. When the time comes, don’t come complaining to us.”Elisa put the car keys on the cash register and sat on the stool.She took the bicycle that Serenity just made and praised her. “Seren, I have to say that you’re ingenious! You can make a model of anything!”“I learned it before. What do you like? I’ll make one for you when I’m free.”“You’d better not. I’m afraid Zachary will stare at me with those cold eyes when he finds out. If I like something, I can just bu
Serenity said, “It takes time to buy land and build a house. Let’s rent an office space first. Then we can buy a plot of land and build one when we find one to our liking.”“Sure.”Elisa then asked, “We should inform Jasmine about this too. Do you want to send her a message, or should I?”Before Serenity could answer, Elisa laughed and said, “You should tell her. You and Jasmine have been friends for more than ten years. Even if you interrupt her honeymoon with Josh, Josh wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”Serenity also laughed. “Okay. I’ll call and talk to her tonight.”“I see Jasmine’s posts every day and feel so envious,” Elisa said.“I’m also envious. Zachary said that he’ll also take me somewhere for our honeymoon after our wedding.”“I’m so tired of feeling envious. I get stabbed every day being friends with you and Jasmine.”Serenity laughed. “You’re not that far from happiness. Remy sends you flowers every day. He even sent you a love letter. My husband didn’t even leav
Elisa smiled and said, “Remy’s very busy today. Besides sending me flowers and love letters, he only sends me a few messages every day.“His sister-in-law is about to give birth, so he said that he’ll have to finish his work as soon as possible and return to Annenburg.”Serenity said, “Jane is pregnant with twins. Most twins are born prematurely. She told me that she expects to give birth in June. Now it’s mid-May, so it’s about time.”At the mention of pregnancy, Elisa wanted to ask Serenity if she had any news, but Elisa gave up when the words came to her lips.Serenity was too busy with work now and her attention was diverted, so she did not have time to worry about pregnancy.If Elisa mentioned it, Serenity would feel sad again.“I’ll pick Zachary up from work later, so I can’t accompany you for lunch.”Elisa understood and said, “Oh, okay. Should I also go to Remy’s office to pick him up? Seren, what do you think his expression will be like when he sees me?”“He’ll be ecst
