“innocently.”
“I wanted to ask if you’d like to join me for an event tomorrow night. Seren could take you, but I thought you might prefer to come with me instead of going with Seren and Zachary. Don’t worry about what others say about you; after all, I’m your aunt.”
Liberty politely declined the invitation, smiling as she replied, “Aunt Audrey, you said it yourself. Seren can take me if I’m interested, but it’s just not my scene. This community isn’t right for me. Perhaps I’ll be part of the upper crust once my business expands to several restaurants.”
Liberty had no intention of entering the exclusive circle by relying on others. It simply wasn’t her time yet, and she knew she wouldn’t feel at home there. Once she earned her place, the community would embrace her without hesitation.
“I won’t insist, then.”
Liberty even declined a car offered to her by her sister and brother-in-law. Mrs. Stone chose not to press the issue. Considering Duncan’s frequent visits to Liberty’s diner, she fell silent for a moment before asking, “Liberty, does Mr. Lewis have breakfast at your diner every day?”
Liberty responded, “He comes in and gives me business when my diner is open. He’s not picky about food. Even though he’s a billionaire CEO, he behaves like an ordinary person.”
Mrs. Stone observed Liberty’s expression and realized that she didn’t think much of the daily visits. She sighed internally, acknowledging that everyone has their own path, and some things are beyond control.
While Mrs. Stone admired Duncan, Mrs. Lewis clearly looked down on Liberty.
“Go ahead and rest, Liberty. Elisa and I will take you car shopping after your nap,” Mrs. Stone said affectionately.
Liberty was exhausted as she carried her son upstairs and entered the familiar guest room. Clive had gone with his wife to rest in the bedroom.
