could ease her concerns about a potential relationship developing between them. Given the current circumstances, she would appear unreasonable for doing so. Attempting such a maneuver would likely offend both the Yorks and the Stones. Moreover, it may be unnecessary, as Liberty did not seem particularly interested in Duncan.
It simply wasn’t worth the trouble. However, it might become too late to take action if something were to transpire between Duncan and Liberty.
As a mother, Mrs. Lewis was well aware of Duncan’s character. He wouldn’t rush into a relationship, but once he committed, you could count on him being devoted for life.
They sat in silence for a moment until Lily spoke up, “Mrs. Lewis, let’s drop the idea of pushing Liberty away. It’s not easy for her to start a business as a newly divorced woman. Besides, her business seems to be thriving right now, and I wouldn’t want to interfere with a mother trying to support her son.”
“And if something does develop between Duncan and Liberty… well, I suppose it would come down to a fair competition between her and me for Duncan’s affection. If I lose, then so be it. In matters of love, the strongest doesn’t always emerge victorious—that’s just how it is.”
“Every man has his own preferences in a partner. Some are simply eager to find someone and will settle for anyone, while others seek a strong character in the person they want to spend their lives with, aiming to create the ideal power couple. We still don’t know whether Duncan fits into the first or second category.”
Mrs. Lewis sighed and said, “Lily, it’s commendable that you are staying true to your beliefs, but please remember that I’m on your side. Liberty may not have any intentions towards Duncan right now, but if she…
If she falls in love with him later, I will be the first to oppose their marriage. She shouldn’t even consider becoming part of my family. My son hasn’t had a girlfriend yet, so why should he marry a woman who already has a child?
Lily smiled and replied kindly, “Thank you. I will do my best, and regardless of the outcome, I know I gave it my all.”
She radiated confidence.
“Lily, you have no idea how much I care for you. I genuinely hope that things work out between you and Duncan. I believe in you! I look forward to the day we become family.”
Lily returned the warm smile.
A crew arrived to deliver the hand-woven goods to Serenity once again.
After inspecting the delivery and ensuring the products were satisfactory, she completed the payment and placed another new order.
Once she saw the part-time crafters off, she packed the handicrafts into boxes and called a courier for pickup.
Soon after, the courier arrived to collect the packages. After finalizing the arrangements, Serenity checked the time and turned to Jasmine, saying, “Jas, I’m taking Sonny shopping with me.”
