Duncan felt bad for Liberty, but he still did not want to be a burden to her. He said icily, “I said I’d give you six hundred thousand dollars. It’s double what my mom offered you. Leave now. Immediately. Right at this second. Leave!”“Mr. Lewis, I won’t take the six hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Lewis hiring me is a long-term job, but you’re offering me a one-off amount. I’ll suffer a huge loss. However, if you were to give me six hundred grand for no specific reason each month, I won’t feel comfortable accepting the money. I prefer earning money by working. It makes me feel at ease when I spend it too.”Duncan was speechless. “Long-term? Are you planning to do this for your entire life?”“With your current attitude, I think it’s largely possible.”Duncan said, “I’ll get better. I’ll definitely recover.”Liberty laughed. “That’ll depend on whether you’ll cooperate with the treatment. If you keep this up, I’ll suspect your ability to stand up again. If you end up wheelchair-bound

“Liberty!” Duncan called from inside the ward. “I’ll go in and have a look, Mrs. Lewis.”Liberty withdrew her hand lightly and turned to return to the ward. Mrs. Lewis did not follow her in. As long as Liberty was present and did not call for their help, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew not to enter and leave them alone. Their son’s attitude was terrible, and he had not restrained his temper yet. However, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew their son wanted Liberty to stay and care for him. Mrs. Lewis returned to sit beside her husband. She sighed and said, “I was too stubborn back then. I’ll learn from Tania from now on.”Derek told his wife, “I’ve advised you many times, but you wouldn’t listen. Our son isn’t young anymore. Other people his age already have children in middle school, but he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Since he finally has someone he likes, who cares how many times she has gotten divorced? It’s fine as long as our son likes her.“You didn’t heed my advice at all. Now, we
Chapter 1731
At the hilltop villa, when the call with her sister ended, Serenity retook Sonny’s temperature after he was done eating. She said to Zachary, “It’s 99.86 degrees Fahrenheit. Should we bathe him again?”Zachary poured a glass of water for Sonny to drink up. He said, “Sonny had just eaten his fill. Let him rest before giving him another warm bath. Breaking a fever is a gradual process. There’s no need to panic or worry. The medicine Dr. Thompson prescribed is still on standby.”Ring, ring…Zachary’s phone rang. Serenity said, “Sonny’s fever is going down. You’re busy and have lots of work to do, so you should go back to the office. I’ll look after Sonny at home.”Zachary did not reply but answered the call first. It was Mr. Daniels who called.“Mr. Daniels.”Zachary hated Jenna, but he still treated Mr. Daniels politely. The two companies were looking to collaborate after all. However, Zachary would be willing to give up on the golden opportunity and not work with Daniels Group i

“Sonny’s sick. I feel insecure leaving him at home. You’re worried too, right? If I were to follow you, would you be okay leaving Sonny alone?”Zachary did not say a word. He was uneasy about it too. “Next time, alright. I’ll definitely go with you next time. Don’t pull a long face. You should go upstairs to change your clothes and head out soon. Don’t keep Mr. Daniels waiting too long.”“Come upstairs with me to choose my outfit,” Zachary requested. Serenity lifted Sonny and started walking. “Am I not the one who bought all your clothes? They’re all in your favorite black color with little difference. Any outfit will suit you well. You have the perfect figure and will look good in anything.“I was also the one who bought the ties you’ve been wearing every day. You don’t even have to specifically choose the one I purchased. Wearing any one of them will add to your charisma.”Zachary muttered softly, “I just want you to help me put them on.”Serenity turned to glance at him.

“Who else do I care about if not you? I would’ve accompanied you if Sonny wasn’t sick,” Serenity told him with a smile. Zachary hugged Sonny before getting into the car. He said to Sonny, “Sonny, I’m so jealous of you. Unlike me, you can cling to your aunt every day. There are so many things waiting for me to handle every day.”“Uncle Zak, I’ll help you out after growing up and when I can do so. When that time comes, you can have a holiday.”Sonny’s childish words made Zachary laugh. “You’re such a good child. My love for you has not been in vain.”Zachary even pecked Sonny on his cheek because he was delighted. He said with a smile, “My work is difficult to handle. If you want to help me, you can study well when you go to school. Only then you’ll have the capability to help me when you’re grown up.”Sonny nodded enthusiastically. “I’ll study hard, Uncle Zak. Mom said knowledge could change… Change… Anyway, I have to study hard.”Sonny could not recall his mother’s words, but

“Who sent these flowers, Sam? Did Zachary ask someone to deliver them here?”Upon seeing the bouquet, Serenity thought Zachary had arranged for someone to deliver the flowers to her.“What did Zachary give me again? I already have so many clothes that I can’t wear them all.”Serenity also thought the bags filled with clothes were given to her by Zachary. She would buy or put in custom orders for his clothes while he was in charge of hers. He liked seeing her in the clothes he bought from head to toe. Sam hesitated to speak. He first handed the bouquet to Serenity. She took the bouquet and saw a small card placed inside it. She had a look at the card. It wrote: [Zachary, this bouquet is for you. I wish you happiness every day. Love you!]There was no signature. A bouquet for Zachary?Serenity was stunned after reading the note. It was a bouquet of roses. Someone gave Zachary roses and even wrote words like loving Zachary. It was obvious that a woman had sent those things.
Chapter 1735
After confirming that her nephew was fine, Serenity got her phone and took pictures of the roses and clothes. The pictures were sent to Zachary. Soon, Zachary gave her a call. “Honey, who sent you flowers?”Zachary’s tone was aggressive. Which bold b*stard dared to give his wife flowers? Did that person have a death wish? “Didn’t you see the clothes were suits? There are neckties too. They’re all yours. The bouquet is meant for you too.”Zachary said, “They’re for me?”His aggressive aura dissipated. The presents were for him.Which hateful person was playing a prank on him by sending him flowers and clothes? Was that person trying to cause a rift between him and Serenity on purpose?Zachary quickly explained, “Honey, I’ve never led someone on or done anything to betray you. Does the card mention who the sender is? I have a score to settle with that person.”“There’s no signature. I don’t know who sent the items.”Serenity guessed it was Ms. Daniels. Zachary told her l

It must be Jenna! Zachary did not look too pleased. While Jenna did not come along, she would not quit. Jenna had flowers and clothes delivered to his residence. Mr. Daniels had invited Zachary for a meal today and talked about collaboration, so Jenna would have known. She deliberately timed the delivery for when he was out. It was so Serenity would get the wrong idea and kick up a fuss with him. That woman was vile. “I had a good talk with Mr. Daniels and sealed the deal on the partnership, but now that I think about it, I want to give up on the project, Seren.” Jenna was the only daughter of Mr. Daniels. It was said that Mr. Daniels took a while to regulate his health so that he could have a child. Mr. Daniels and his wife simply adored their only daughter. Although Mr. Daniels was sensible enough not to bring Jenna along today, nor was he supporting Jenna’s courtship of Zachary, Zachary did not want to take the risk. Even the most sensible parents, who doted on their
