Chapter 2432
“Let’s go out for a walk. It’s not sunny today, but it’s a little windy. We can walk around the yard and enjoy the breeze and the scenery. That’s the life.” “Nana, you just had your breakfast.” Grandma May said, “We can take it easy. It won’t be around the estate. We’ll just take a short walk nearby.” Since Grandma May insisted, Serenity accompanied her for a stroll. “Did you have morning sickness today?” Grandma May asked with concern. Serenity was about to give her usual answer when she realized she had not thrown up this morning. She exclaimed in surprise, “Nana, I don’t think so. I didn’t feel nauseous when I woke up this morning.” She changed her clothes, washed up, then left the bathroom, and took Sonny downstairs for breakfast. She was so busy with the routine that she did not realize she had not puked. Did this mean that her nausea days were over? Grandma May said with a smile, “It’ll get better. It seems you won’t have morning sickness until your due date like Al

Serenity said, “Nana, I’m not giving myself pressure. I’m just keeping an open mind.” Grandma replied, “Yeah, just stay open-minded. It’s a blessing to have a child, regardless of gender.” “You have nine grandsons, Nana. You will have nine granddaughters-in-law. I’m sure one of us will give you a great-granddaughter.” Serenity comforted Grandma May. Grandma May said with a smile, “I might not live long enough to see them get married and start a family.” Rowan was still a student. It would be another decade before he would marry. Grandma May was not sure whether she would be around ten years or so later. She believed she had another eight to ten years before she was reunited with her husband. Her sons and grandsons had their destinies. She could only do so much for them. It was their path to walk now. “Nana.” “Alright. I won’t talk about that.” Grandma May said dotingly, “Let’s walk to the foot of the hill.” “Will you be tired?” “No. You’ll be tired sooner than I

In fact, Duncan could have returned to his place. He owned a property at The Oasis. He was simply worried about Liberty. He did not want Liberty to be alone, so he stayed the night at her residence. Liberty did not kick him out, and this made Duncan happy. Although Liberty had not taken their relationship further, she had gradually gotten used to him being around as time went by. He did not talk about love, and neither did she. However, anybody could feel the chemistry between them when they were together. “I’m used to getting up early. I went to bed early last night anyway. I woke up the moment the sun was up. I can’t even sleep in even if I try.” Duncan smiled at Liberty. She seemed to be in a better mood today. He was relieved that her eyes were not as swollen as yesterday.Liberty had been carrying a heavy burden for a long time. Now that it was finally gone, she felt like she could collapse all at once. Liberty cried, letting out all the pain and sadness that she had

“Don’t rush yourself. Just take it easy. You have made great progress. Many people like you find it hard to stand up on their own. You’re amazing that you can take a couple of steps. Don’t push yourself too hard. Take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.” Liberty wheeled him to the lawn and added, “You can try to walk on the grass. Even if you fall, it won’t hurt as much.” Back at the Lewises’ residence, Duncan usually practiced walking on grass too. Duncan lifted his head and looked at her before uttering, “I will fall, and I won’t look good falling. Don’t laugh at me, Liberty. Don’t feel sorry for me either. It’s the pain I have to go through to get better.” Liberty knew he had a strong pride, so she nodded and replied, “I won’t laugh at you. If you feel my presence here is giving you a lot of pressure, I can leave.” “It’s okay. It gives me pressure and motivation when you are here. I will hang in there for you.” If it was not for Liberty and to

Corey would be in tears if she was watching her son. After all this time, Corey still blamed herself. She believed she was the reason for Duncan’s car accident. If she had not stopped him from seeing Liberty and threatened him with death, he might not have been driving so fast. If she had not chased after him, he might have braked in time, and he would not have ended up in a car accident that left him wheelchair-bound. It was all her fault. Corey cried when Duncan gave up on himself. She also cried when Duncan struggled and became flustered during rehabilitation. Hence, Duncan did not allow family by his side when he had these sessions. He did not want his mother to cry. It also annoyed him that Corey often cried even though he had accepted reality. “Okay, I’ll take a short break. I’ll stand up in a bit. Do you have water, Liberty? I’m thirsty.” “Rest here. I’ll go inside to fill a bottle of water for you. Do you want anything to eat? Should I bring you something?” He
Chapter 2437
When Liberty brought the bottle of water out, she saw Duncan falling and getting up from afar. Duncan was still practicing his walking. She stopped and watched him hang on. She did not get close to him so as not to put pressure on him. She had seen him at his worst. However, nobody liked to be seen at their worst. Duncan had his pride. Once Duncan was tired, he wanted to get back to his wheelchair but was too exhausted to get up. Since there was no one around, Duncan crawled back to his wheelchair and propped himself back onto it. After he had done all that, he caught his breath. Liberty immediately hid behind a tree when Duncan looked around. She did not want Duncan to know that she was there. It pained Liberty to see Duncan crawl and climb back to the wheelchair. She had something to do with what happened to him. Duncan was determined to pursue her, and he did not want to give up on her. He went against his mother’s wishes and got into a car accident. It was all beca

Duncan was not involved with Liberty romantically, and neither was she dating anyone. That was a good thing. Oh, the drunkard wanted to pursue Liberty. The man went to Liberty’s restaurant to meet her when Duncan let his guard down once. Now that Duncan knew about his rival, he stopped the drunkard from ever getting close to Liberty again. Duncan had been watching over Liberty for more than a year. There was no way he would allow someone else to swoop in and take her away. “It’s cloudy today. Why is your face burning up?” Liberty asked. Duncan replied, “Really? I might have practiced walking a little too long. I’m exhausted. My face must be red because I need air.” He refused to admit that he blushed because she wiped away his sweat. Duncan was pushing forty. Although he had never been intimate with anyone, he had imagined what it would be like. Besides, he had seen a lot in his rebellious stage, so he was not completely green. He believed he was not an innocent man for h

Meanwhile, Julian, who had never let alcohol get to him, got wasted for once and he did it at Zachary’s wedding. He was now at Wiltspoon Hotel. It was good liquor. Julian was having the time of his life with Quinn by his side, so he drank a lot. He kept talking about how great the alcohol was while drinking. The strong liquor packed a punch, and he ended up intoxicated. He opened his eyes, but he had to close them due to his headache. Julian had not had enough sleep. His head would not hurt if he slept longer. Soon, Julian opened his eyes again. He realized he was lying in an unfamiliar room. Where was he? He was not at his family home or his villa. Julian hoped nobody had picked him up from the streets and had their way with him after he passed out drunk. The scenario was unlikely. He was drinking at Wildridge Manor. Nobody would have the guts to do that even if he was drunk unless they wanted to cross him. Ignoring his throbbing head, Julian jolted up fro
