Chapter 1661
Liberty never told Duncan anything about her conversation with Mrs. Lewis. However, he still found out from his mother. Upon discovering that his mother had made Liberty move out, move away, and even leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, he quarreled with his mother in anger. Mrs. Lewis was furious, and so was Duncan. Ultimately, the mother and son were unwilling to compromise. None of them would give up and let go. Liberty glanced at Duncan and continued what she was doing. She said, “If I’m not the problem, then I won’t make so many sacrifices.”Duncan laughed. He liked that side of Liberty. Sonny, who took the phone into a room, dialed Serenity’s number. He knew the first number in his mother’s contact list was Aunt Ser’s. Serenity picked up the phone shortly. “What’s the matter, Liberty?”She thought it was her sister who called. “Aunt Ser, it’s me, Sonny.”Hearing her nephew’s young voice, Serenity smiled and said, “Hey, Sonny. Did you call me yourself?”“Yeah. I too

“Yes. He treats me well.”A child’s heart was pure. Despite their young age, they were aware of who treated them well or when someone was pretending. However, they could not express themselves due to their age sometimes. Duncan noticed Sonny first. He truly liked Sonny and would always want to carry him back then.At that time, Sonny was still young and scared of the scar on Duncan’s face. Therefore, he refused Duncan’s embrace. Duncan’s wish to carry Sonny only came true after they became familiar with each other. Duncan only paid attention to the mother and son duo because he adored Sonny. He gradually fell in love with Sonny’s mother, Liberty. “If Dunc treats you well and likes you so much, how will he bear to take your mother away? Believe in Duncan. He’ll only love you together with your mother. He won’t steal her away.”Sonny felt reassured. He said, “I won’t call Dad then, Aunt Ser. Dad always says Dunc is evil.”Dunc was so nice. He did not understand why Dad wo

Sonny treated Duncan as his backer. That act, which showed his trust, made Duncan happy. He grinned and Liberty was speechless. “Dunc, Mom glared at me.”Sonny even tattled. Duncan lifted Sonny with a smile. He asked him, “Think about why she glared at you. I’m standing here, but she didn’t glare at me but you. What can be the reason for this?”Liberty walked over. Sonny glanced at his mother and said obediently, “I played on the phone after calling Aunt Ser. Mom snatched my phone away.”“That’s not your phone. It’s Mom’s.”Sonny’s big eyes shone. He dared not argue over it because the phone indeed belonged to Mom.“I asked why Mom could be on the phone, but I couldn’t. She glared at me afterward.”Sonny’s voice gradually got softer. He knew that playing on the phone was wrong too. Duncan said gently, “You’re still young. Being on the phone too often will hurt your eyes and cause short-sightedness. Your mom is doing this for your own good.“She doesn’t usually play on th

“I asked where you went. I’m in your office. It’s working hours, but you’re neither in the office nor the building. Where have you gone? Don’t tell me you went to business meetings. Your secretary is still here.“Did you go looking for Liberty again? How many times have I told you? Liberty is not suitable for you. She’s a divorced woman with a three-year-old child. That child is even a son. You may be willing to raise a son for someone else, but I don’t want to be that child’s grandmother!“Besides raising someone else’s son, you’ll have to buy a house and car and get a wife for him. His father won’t contribute anything and will laugh at you for being a doormat. Duncan, there are so many young, pretty ladies in Wiltspoon. Any one of them will be better than Liberty.”Mrs. Lewis was about to be angered to death by her son. He would not listen to her at all. Mrs. Lewis’s words grew increasingly harsh. Duncan said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to worry about my matters. I’ll t
Chapter 1665
Sonny asked in confusion, “Why do we have to move, Mom?”He had lived there for half a year with his mom and had gotten used to it. Liberty lied. She said, “You’ll start preschool in September. Your preschool is quite far from here. We can move to a place closer to it so it’s convenient for me to send you to school.”What opinions could a three-year-old child possibly have?With Liberty’s explanation, Sonny nodded his head. Therefore, she called a real estate agent, told the agent her requirements for renting a place, and asked for recommendations. She was not in a rush to buy a house. She could look around and only decide after finding a suitable place. Moreover, her priority was to pay for her son’s education. Sonny was enrolled in Wiltspoon’s best preschool. The annual school fee was about a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand dollars. She had gotten some money from Hank when they got divorced. She used a portion of that money and invested in All You Can Eat. Alt

“Mom!”“I’ll be frank here. If you can break all ties with me, I won’t bother with who you like or pursue anymore.”After speaking, Mrs. Lewis turned and left angrily. Duncan was exasperated by his mother too. He did not understand. His mother did not hate Liberty. Why was she being stubborn and refused to let him be with Liberty?He had not even succeeded in wooing Liberty. With his mother making such a big fuss, it would do nothing but hinder him. Liberty, who did not love him from the start, would be scared of his mother and dared not like him or accept his feelings. Duncan raised his head and took a look around. He did not return to Liberty’s apartment but walked toward his car. After getting in, he called Zachary and Josh to invite them out for a drink. He hung up after speaking, disregarding whether they agreed to it, and started the car. Meanwhile, in the Buchams’ residence, Josh looked at the ended call on the phone. After a moment, he scolded, “I’m still on my m

Zachary remained silent too.Josh meant they knew Duncan well after having known him for so many years.Duncan appeared rough and carefree, seeming as if he did not care about anything.However, he was actually stubborn when it came to relationships.If Liberty chose not to remarry for the rest of her life, he would also not marry anyone for her sake.He was the kind of person who would rather be single forever if he could not marry the woman he wanted.“If you’re busy, I’ll go and drink with him.” Zachary was considerate of Josh, who was still on his marriage leave. With Jasmine pregnant, Josh would surely not be in the mood to do anything else too. Josh said, “Jasmine’s in the bookstore. I assigned bodyguards to protect her. I don’t have much to do anyway. Let’s go together.”Zachary hummed in agreement. After ending the call, Zachary looked toward his beloved wife, who was sitting on the sofa and reading magazines. Serenity did not pay attention to Zachary and Josh’s ca
Chapter 1668
Duncan had always gone to All You Can Eat for breakfast before eight o’clock. If she avoided that timing, she could avoid meeting him. Liberty asked Serenity for help. After reading her sister’s message, Serenity sighed. Her sister was finally forced to run away. If not for Serenity marrying Zachary and living in Wiltspoon because the York family was here, Liberty might have really left Wiltspoon with Sonny secretly and distanced herself from Duncan as Mrs. Lewis wished. Even if Duncan could find Liberty no matter what it took, he would still require time to do so. Serenity replied to her sister that she would respect and aid in every decision she made. “Is it a message from your sister?”Zachary guessed it was his sister-in-law. Serenity replied in the affirmative. “What did she say? Your expression looks serious.”“My sister is moving now. She found a new house to rent in a hurry and would be relocating to East Hill neighborhood. It’s a high-end area with excell
