Chapter 1431

“I won’t help you. You can pursue Liberty on your own. If you succeed in winning her over, Seren and I will support both of you. If you don’t, then please stop bothering her. After all, your mother disapproves of her.”

Zachary did not stop Duncan but also refused to assist him.

“We’re good friends, Duncan. I know you’re a man worthy of lifelong commitment, but your mom looks down on Liberty and doesn’t approve of your relationship. Liberty has already gone through one failed marriage, and I don’t want her to face bullying from her in-laws again if she remarries.”

Duncan quickly replied, “Zachary, don’t you know my temperament by now? My mom has never made decisions for me. I’m in charge of my own life. I’m aware that my mom is biased against Liberty, but that’s only because she doesn’t know her well. Once she gets to know Liberty, she’ll come around.”

“Even if she doesn’t accept Liberty, it won’t affect us. I don’t live with my parents, and I won’t let Liberty suffer from their anger.”

Zachary looked at Duncan and said, “You’re still naive, Duncan. When the time comes, you’ll realize that some issues are unavoidable. You’ll have to confront them eventually.”

“If Liberty gets together with you, won’t you still have to see your parents in the future? They are your parents, after all. I suggest you wait a little longer; perhaps your mother will be more accepting once Liberty’s career takes off.”

“Additionally, Liberty has no intentions of remarrying right now. She is completely focused on her business and has no romantic feelings for you. If you confess to her now, she will likely reject you without hesitation. She doesn’t feel confident enough to be by your side at this moment.”

“Give her some time to change. She’s right within reach, so you don’t have to worry about her being taken by other men.”

Without a

Upon reflection, Zachary realized that Duncan would likely fail if he attempted to pursue Liberty at this time.

Duncan remained silent for a while before responding, “I’ll think about it, Zachary. Of course, I won’t confess my feelings to Liberty now. I’ll wait until she recovers. I’m willing to be patient. After all, I’ve been single for thirty-six years; what’s a few more?”

As he aged, Duncan’s mother grew increasingly anxious, which significantly raised his chances of being with Liberty.

The two men chatted as they walked and soon arrived at Liberty’s ward.

Serenity raised her eyebrows upon seeing Duncan again, but remained quiet.

“Dunc,” Sonny said warmly as he greeted Duncan upon his arrival.

Duncan smiled in return, set down the items he brought, and asked Liberty with concern, “How are you feeling, Liberty? Is your wound painful?”

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis. I’ll be fine. The wound hurts, but it’s manageable,” Liberty replied.

She hadn’t noticed Duncan’s presence when she first woke up and was unaware that he had watched over her all night.

Serenity had also kept this information from her sister, intending to discuss Duncan with Liberty after her discharge from the hospital.

“Okay,” Duncan replied, studying Liberty intently for a moment before asking, “You still look quite pale. Did the doctor say if you could eat?”

Serenity interjected, “She can only have liquid food starting tomorrow.”

Duncan nodded again, momentarily at a loss for words.

Ultimately, he could only exchange a few common pleasantries like other visitors before saying goodbye.

He couldn’t stay to watch over Liberty that night, as lingering too long might raise her suspicions.

In Liberty’s eyes, Duncan’s concern for her stemmed from her being Zachary’s sister-in-law, so she wasn’t surprised when he…

She found it strange if he was excessively worried about her, so he visited her nonetheless. Zachary escorted Duncan out of the ward, while Serenity sat on the edge of the bed with Sonny, discussing topics that would bring her sister joy.
