I won\u2019t allow you to be with her! She\u2019s divorced and has a child. You come from completely different worlds. The right woman for you is a strong and capable individual from an influential family\u2014someone like Lily.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSetting aside the Lewis family, don\u2019t you think that, based on your own accomplishments, Liberty is still unworthy of you?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou\u2019re the CEO of Lewis &amp; Co., while she owns a small breakfast diner. Even the shop she rents is yours. You two are worlds apart. This isn\u2019t me looking down on her; it\u2019s simply the truth. Duncan, both families must be well-matched in social status for a marriage to work. You and Liberty are not suitable for each other.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou should let go of her and pursue a relationship with Lily. Didn\u2019t you enjoy your conversation with her at the Marshall family\u2019s banquet? When you danced together, it was like you were made for each other.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan had distanced himself from his family to avoid their control. Therefore, when it came to marriage, he only considered his own feelings and did not want to be constrained by his family\u2019s expectations.<\/div>\n<div>He replied firmly, \u201cMom, this is my marriage and my choice. I\u2019m the one getting married, not you. If I believe Liberty is right for me, then she is. I don\u2019t see her as unworthy of me. If anything, I feel unworthy of her. I\u2019m older and not attractive. Besides having more money, in what way am I better than her?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cEven if she\u2019s divorced, she is several years younger than I am. She\u2019s like a blooming flower at the peak of its beauty. Meanwhile, I have a rugged face covered in scars that could frighten a child to tears without even trying.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>makeup, and I\u2019m nearing forty. I don\u2019t deserve her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis reached out to pinch his face. \u201cYour face is fierce? Which part is fierce? Even with scars, you\u2019re still handsome! Do you think I\u2019ll give you both my blessings if you keep putting yourself down? Not a chance!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would I need your approval for my choices? If you accept Liberty and like her, we\u2019ll bring Sonny home often to visit you and keep you company after we marry. If you don\u2019t like her, the three of us can live happily in one of my many houses without bothering you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis was left speechless. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan was accustomed to being independent. <\/p>\n<p>He believed that his feelings for Liberty were his own concern. Whether or not he could marry her in the future was also his decision, and he felt his parents should not interfere. <\/p>\n<p>If his parents accepted her, he would bring Liberty home frequently to spend time with them. <\/p>\n<p>If they did not accept her, he would go back on his own. He would not subject his wife and child to his parents\u2019 disdain. <\/p>\n<p>In short, his marriage was his choice! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, Liberty doesn\u2019t even like me. Just look at your son, Mom. Even she doesn\u2019t care for me. How can you look down on her? If there\u2019s anyone deserving of disdain, it\u2019s me. If Liberty is willing to accept me, marry me, and end my bachelor life, you should be thankful to her instead. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour least desirable youngest son is finally being \u2018sold off,\u2019 so you should shower Liberty with money as a token to prevent her from returning the merchandise.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis was at a loss for words. <\/p>\n<p>She glared at her son, opening her mouth multiple times to respond, but no words came out. <\/p>\n<p>She was furious. <\/p>\n<p>This son could truly infuriate her to the point of feeling ill. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I just don\u2019t feel a connection with Lily. You can\u2019t force<\/p>\n<p>Emotions. \u201cI don\u2019t love Lily, so I won\u2019t force myself to be with her. You should talk to her and stop wasting her time.\u201d Mrs. Lewis stared at him for a long moment before responding, \u201cUnless hell freezes over and pigs start to fly, I will never agree to you and Liberty being together!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1414 Mrs. Lewis felt as though she might explode with anger.
