Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! -
Chapter 1902
"Liberty, I really like you. I've liked you for a long time. I was too slow to realize my feelings. Or else I would have confessed to you a long time ago. Maybe we might have already made it through the phase of
knowing each other."
Liberty took her hand back and sat down behind her desk.
A moment of silence later, she looked at him and saw anticipation in his eyes. She said, "Mr. Lewis, I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I can't give you a solid answer right now. I have never thought of getting married again either.
"I think you should focus on rehabilitation first. If you recovered, and I changed my mind, where marrying is an option again, I will give you a chance, Mr. Lewis."
Even though it was not a strong answer, at least there was still hope. Duncan nodded with a smile. "Liberty, thank you for giving me hope."
With that, Duncan would drop by Liberty's shop every day after he finished his rehabilitation. He has to make Liberty remember him, only then would he stand a chance, and it was also to prevent another man from approaching her.
Liberty was still young. She had regained her slender body after giving birth, which made her more attractive.
On this day, Zachary dropped Duncan off at Liberty's shop. After Zachary left, Liberty wanted to send Duncan home.
Every time she wheeled him out of the restaurant, the young owner of the supermarket opposite the restaurant would stare at Liberty.
Liberty might not notice it, but Duncan did. He might be crippled for now but he was much sharper than Liberty.
"Mr. Lewis, I might not change my mind as well. I am living a good life now, it's fulfilling. I don't want it to change." She was doing great with just her son.
After sending her son to the kindergarten, she would be free for the day and only has to take care of her business.
If she got married again, she would have to handle her in-laws. Even if the Lewis were rich and she might not need to do anything, she would have to consider her husband and her in-laws first before she acted. She would not be enjoying the same level of freedom like now.
If Duncan agreed to only date and not marry, she would have said yes a long time ago.
However, Duncan wanted to date her because he was looking for a stable marriage.
"Even if you and I are together, I won't request you to change your lifestyle because of me. You can do whatever you want. Your life will continue as it is, you don't need to consider my feelings. Quite the opposite, I'll take care of you."
Duncan was serious. "Liberty, believe me. I can give you the life that you want."
Liberty chuckled. She switched the topic and said, "Mr. Lewis, let's just leave it for another time. I'm not thinking about that for now."
"If anyone wants to date you..."
"Don't worry. If I can reject a great man like you, Mr. Lewis, I can reject other men as well. Besides, I'm not seeing anyone now."
She was always with her son and the mother and son looked alike. Anyone could tell she was married and strangers would not know about her divorce.
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief.
Knock, knock.
A contractor knocked on the opened office door.
The two of them looked to the entrance and the man started saying, "Ms. Hunt, a man is looking for you. n.o.vel.e.book He claimed he's a lawyer for someone." A lawyer for someone?
Curious, Liberty got up and left the office. She asked, "Where is he?"
The contractor pointed at the restaurant's entrance.
When Liberty went out, he spotted a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire waiting for her at the entrance.
The man walked to her when he saw her and introduced himself.
Then, he took a letter out from his briefcase and gave it to Liberty. He said, "Ms. Hunt, my client wants me to give you this letter."
