Chapter 1217<\/div>\n
They resided in a small community where paths frequently crossed. Eventually, their paths would intersect.<\/div>\n
Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis mentioned her only briefly. Lily recalled a little about Liberty, mainly because she was Serenity\u2019s sister.<\/div>\n
\u201cYes, she divorced recently. Her husband had an affair, and I heard he was also violent toward her. He wanted to split living expenses, even though Liberty stayed home to raise their son and was considered a housewife. It was clear his desire to go Dutch stemmed from his dislike for her, but she didn\u2019t see it.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI heard she discovered his infidelity only after receiving proof of his affair. He was very stingy with her, yet he purchased luxury items for his mistress.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWomen, especially those who are married, need to practice self-love. If you don\u2019t know how to love yourself, you can\u2019t expect your husband to love and cherish you. It\u2019s important to strive for financial independence. If that\u2019s not possible, at least try to take control of the family\u2019s finances.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to manage your husband\u2019s money for him. If you save excessively, he\u2019ll likely just spend his money on someone else. If you attempt to save for him while neglecting to buy new clothes or cosmetics for yourself, he may think you don\u2019t care about your appearance. He could perceive you as unattractive and refuse to take you out because he feels embarrassed.\u201d<\/div>\n
Mrs. Lewis criticized Liberty for ending up divorced because she didn\u2019t know how to love herself after marriage. Then she addressed Lily, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Lily. Duncan isn\u2019t that kind of man.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIf you marry Duncan, we will be very open-minded and won\u2019t prevent you from working. You\u2019ll still have the freedom to do as you please.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cWe all support you,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

As Lily drove, she laughed, saying, \u201cMrs. Lewis, Duncan keeps avoiding me. I think it\u2019s going to take a long time for me to win him over.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with you,\u201d Mrs. Lewis responded. \u201cWas Liberty even heavier in the past? She still looks quite chubby now.\u201d <\/p>\n

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\u2019s divorce; she believed there was no chance Duncan would marry a divorced single mother, and the Lewis family elders would certainly disapprove.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Liberty\u2019s extra weight didn\u2019t fit Duncan\u2019s high standards. He was so selective that he didn\u2019t 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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuncan is very kind to Liberty\u2019s son,\u201d Mrs. Lewis noted, surprised to see how fond her youngest son had become of a child.<\/p>\n

Lily commented, \u201cLittle kids are adorable; everyone loves them.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mrs. Lewis cast a glance at Lily but remained silent. <\/p>\n

Lily was convinced that Duncan would never be interested in a divorced woman, so she dismissed any thoughts about Liberty. However, Mrs. Lewis, as a mother who knew her son well, sensed that Duncan\u2019s attention towards Liberty and her son was a bit more than just polite concern. <\/p>\n

After some contemplation,<\/p>\n

She took out her phone and called someone to ask about Liberty\u2019s current situation.<\/p>\n
