In Chapter 1703 of Married at First Sight, the search for Liberty proved futile.
Mrs. Lewis also took extreme measures against her son.
And now…
only regret lingered.
Liberty generously remarked, “Mrs. Lewis, I don’t recall what you said to me previously, and I understand your perspective. It can be challenging for someone to accept if they have feelings for someone very different from themselves.”
Previously, Mrs. Lewis considered herself an enlightened mother.
However, after experiencing the situation firsthand, she realized that few people can genuinely allow their children to marry whomever they choose.
Given that so few can do this, it seemed that the elders of the York family were quite rare.
Liberty often encouraged Serenity to appreciate what she had, especially regarding Zachary, but how many could truly grasp the wisdom of the York elders?
As a result, Mrs. Lewis tried to prevent Duncan from pursuing Liberty, yet Liberty felt no anger; she empathized with Mrs. Lewis.
“Liberty, thank you for not holding anything against me,” Mrs. Lewis expressed gratefully, appreciating Liberty’s admirable character.
Although Liberty came from a less privileged background than the Lewis family, she worked hard to improve herself. As long as someone is self-motivated and diligent, Liberty truly stands out.
Mrs. Lewis had always recognized that Liberty was a good person, but she struggled with the idea of social compatibility initially.
From now on, she decided to let go of her children’s feelings, believing that children and grandchildren have their own paths to happiness.
“Mrs. Lewis, I haven’t done anything deserving of your gratitude, so please don’t thank me,” Liberty said shyly.
She reassured Mrs. Lewis once more: “Mrs. Lewis, trust Mr. Lewis; he won’t be easily defeated.”
Mrs. Lewis nodded in silence.
After spending some time in the coffee shop, Mrs. Lewis began to think about her son in the hospital. She hurriedly left and rushed back to care for him, as he was becoming increasingly irritable each day.
Once Mrs. Lewis had departed, Liberty sat for a moment before leaving herself.
When she returned to All You Can Eat, Sonny had already finished his class. Jim noticed Liberty’s absence from the store; although two shop assistants were present, he chose to stay and play with Sonny.
Upon seeing Liberty return, Jim straightened up and greeted her with a smile: “Sister Liberty.”
Jim helped Liberty drop off and pick up Sonny every day, but she preferred him to call her Sister rather than Ms. Hunt.
Jim was polite and understood that he would have less time with the young master now. However, he aimed to take good care of Sonny and earn Sister Liberty’s trust, which would open up future opportunities.
Liberty smiled and nodded in response.
Sonny ran over and jumped into Liberty’s arms.
“Mom, I got praised today!” Sonny excitedly shared his joy with her.
After Liberty asked him why he received praise, she joined in to commend him as well.
Sonny was quite cheeky.
“Mom, I want to go to my aunt’s place.”
Sonny loved to show off after receiving compliments and sought more praise from others.
Liberty stood up and smiled, saying, “Okay, I’ll take you to your aunt now.”
She pulled out her phone and sent a message asking where Serenity was.
Serenity quickly responded with a voice message: “Sister, I just got back to the bookstore.”
“Mom, I want to talk to my aunt,” Sonny requested.
