Although Duncan was laughing heartily, his words embarrassed Hank again. Hank switched his tone and asked concernedly, “How’s the recovery of your legs going?”He was hoping that Duncan could never recover.Hank knew he and Liberty could never remarry because she would never look back after moving on. However, he could not stand seeing her getting married to someone else, especially when that person was Duncan.He would have felt better if Liberty were dating an ordinary man. Unfortunately, Duncan was the one wooing her, and he was better than Hank in every aspect. His only downside was his slightly older age. Nevertheless, he had not been married before. People would still think he was out of Liberty’s league because she divorced and had a child. Even if Duncan were disabled, countless women would still be queuing up to marry him as long as he was willing to get a wife. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brown. My injury is recovering well. I’m in rehabilitation now. If I perse

“I’ll let you know when I feel uncomfortable, Sonny. I won’t be hesitant to tell you.”After explaining, Duncan told Chelsea, “I’m fine, Chelsea. Sonny’s a child, but he’s very sensible. He would never sit on my lap when my legs were in pain. I’ve long been discharged from the hospital and have done rehabilitation for some time. I’m still able to hold Sonny.“Don’t scare him, Chelsea.”The Brown family did that to prevent Sonny from getting close to Duncan.However, he had spent lots of time with Sonny. It was not something that the Brown family could stop from happening as they wished.Chelsea said, “Don’t dote on Sonny so much, Mr. Lewis. You’ll spoil him rotten.”“Don’t worry. He won’t be spoiled rotten as his mom is strict with him. He knows what he can and can’t do. I like Sonny. He’s sensible and clever. Even with so many people adoring him, he never became unreasonable.”The Brown family did not feel good when they heard Duncan praising Sonny. However, they could not say

“It’s okay. My employees are experienced, and they have good character. I trust them. Besides, I’m still managing the breakfast diner in the meantime. One day when I have my restaurants all over Wiltspoon, I can hire you if I can’t handle everything myself.“There’s really no need to hire more people now. It’s a small business, so I try to save on salaries wherever possible.”Chelsea pouted. She knew Liberty was not going to hire her. Liberty even made excuses, such as not knowing how her business would turn out. However, with her identity as Mr. York’s sister-in-law, how could her business be bad?Chelsea knew how skilled Liberty was at cooking. The business at her restaurant would surely be booming if she managed it well. Chelsea heard that popular food businesses could earn a revenue of tens of thousands of dollars monthly. After subtracting the costs, the monthly profit would be a considerable amount. Chelsea was attracted when she thought of how much Liberty would be ea

After speaking, Liberty called her son, “We’re leaving, Sonny. Say goodbye to Dad.”“It’s a weekend today, Liberty. Sonny doesn’t have to go to school. Can we let him stay in the hospital for a day to accompany his dad and send him back to you tomorrow night?” Mr. Brown asked for Liberty’s permission. He wanted his grandson to stay behind. Mr. Brown did not say much, but he also felt a sense of crisis after seeing Sonny and Duncan’s overly intimate actions. He was worried Duncan would become Sonny’s stepfather. If so, they would definitely have a close relationship based on the affection they showed each other. His son, Sonny’s biological father, would be completely forgotten when that happened.It was fine if they could not get their ex-daughter-in-law back because they had hurt and bullied her in the past. However, Sonny was the Brown family’s child and their only grandson. They could not let their relationship with Sonny be estranged. Liberty said, “I’ll have to ask for So
Chapter 2096
Mr. Brown scolded his daughter. “Sonny’s going to his aunt’s house. Liberty will be busy with her work and won’t have time to look after Sonny, so she needs Serenity’s help to take care of him. If you want Lucas to go over, who’ll look after your child? Lucas is so naughty. If he were to damage something, would you be able to pay for it?”Wildridge Manor was a vast property that belonged to the wealthiest family. It was a place where ordinary people like them could never enter. They did hear about how beautiful and luxurious the place was. Every decoration in the York family’s house was valuable. Lucas was mischievous and loved to wreck things. If he were to damage something in that house, it would be impossible for them to compensate for it, even if Chelsea’s entire family sold themselves. Chelsea pouted and did not say anything else after getting scolded. Liberty would never bring Lucas to Wildridge Manor either. She still remembered how Lucas and his brother used to bully

“Chelsea and her mother continued to cause chaos even after Sonny’s dad married Jessica. I try to stay as far away as I can from her. I would be a fool to have a meal with her, let alone hire her as a supervisor for my store.”Liberty was traumatized by Chelsea’s shamelessness. Duncan replied with a hum and lowered his head to look at Sonny, who was sitting on his lap. He stopped talking to Liberty about the Brown family. After exiting the inpatient building, he asked her, “Where will we have our meal?”“We should go somewhere better since it’s my treat. Where do you usually go? If you’re used to dining at that particular place, I’ll treat you to a meal there.”Duncan smiled. “I usually had my meals at Wiltspoon Hotel in the past.”He was good friends with Zachary. It was a given that he would help Wiltspoon Hotel with its business. Duncan was not involved in the food and beverage industry. He felt the competition was too strong, and they could never compete against Wiltspoon
Chapter 2098
Chelsea’s two elder children were in their growing stages. They were big eaters and had not eaten a big meal in a long time. Chelsea and George needed to let the children eat if they brought them to a restaurant, which required money. Chelsea reminisced, saying, “We’re reaping what we sowed, hubby. When Liberty and Hank were still married, we enjoyed good food without needing to spend money. Hank would provide our parents with an allowance while our parents would support us with their money.“I like eating expensive food like beef and seafood. Liberty would buy them whenever I mentioned it to her, and I could eat as much as I wanted. She’s completely ignoring me now and even refuses to give me a job.”George wanted to say something but decided against it. He missed the old days too. George and Chelsea only had to focus on working while his in-laws cared for the children. His in-laws’ pension and the allowance provided by his brother-in-law would go to their family. Therefore,

Therefore, after a discussion, they decided to hire a lawyer for their daughter. They hoped their daughter could be given a light sentence. Jessica’s brothers and sisters-in-law did not really want to help her, but their parents scolded them for some time. Hence, they had no choice but to promise their parents. Everyone chipped in some money to hire a lawyer for their sister. Chelsea and George were not mistaken. The old couple was indeed Jessica’s parents. They had come to the hospital to beg their son-in-law to be merciful and let their daughter off. Their daughter could get a lighter punishment if their son-in-law were willing to produce a letter of forgiveness. However, Mr. and Mrs. Yates would surely be met with Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s obstruction and scolding if they wanted to do so. On the other hand, Liberty was unaware of everything
