“We all support you,” Mrs. Lewis reassured Lily, one of the pivotal figures at Harmon Corporation. She recognized that someone like Lily was unlikely to become a traditional housewife after marriage, so she wanted to ease any concerns Lily might have.
As Lily drove, she laughed, saying, “Mrs. Lewis, Duncan keeps avoiding me. I think it’s going to take a long time for me to win him over.”
“I agree with you,” Mrs. Lewis responded. “Was Liberty even heavier in the past? She still looks quite chubby now.”
Liberty had not fully shed her excess weight, and in comparison to someone like Lily, who had a great figure, Liberty seemed overweight. Lily thought little of Liberty’s divorce; she believed there was no chance Duncan would marry a divorced single mother, and the Lewis family elders would certainly disapprove.
Moreover, Liberty’s extra weight didn’t fit Duncan’s high standards. He was so selective that he didn’t even show interest in Lily, so it was hard to imagine him being attracted to someone like Liberty, who was overweight, divorced, and already had a child.
Lily felt that Duncan only spoke to Liberty out of consideration for Zachary, who was, after all, her brother-in-law. Zachary spoiled his wife, prompting Duncan to show respect towards her sister-in-law, especially since Liberty cared for Serenity like a mother.
“Duncan is very kind to Liberty’s son,” Mrs. Lewis noted, surprised to see how fond her youngest son had become of a child.
Lily commented, “Little kids are adorable; everyone loves them.”
Mrs. Lewis cast a glance at Lily but remained silent.

After some contemplation,
She took out her phone and called someone to ask about Liberty’s current situation.
