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\u2019t, then please stop bothering her. After all, your mother disapproves of her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary did not stop Duncan but also refused to assist him.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe\u2019re good friends, Duncan. I know you\u2019re a man worthy of lifelong commitment, but your mom looks down on Liberty and doesn\u2019t approve of your relationship. Liberty has already gone through one failed marriage, and I don\u2019t want her to face bullying from her in-laws again if she remarries.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan quickly replied, \u201cZachary, don\u2019t you know my temperament by now? My mom has never made decisions for me. I\u2019m in charge of my own life. I\u2019m aware that my mom is biased against Liberty, but that\u2019s only because she doesn\u2019t know her well. Once she gets to know Liberty, she\u2019ll come around.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cEven if she doesn\u2019t accept Liberty, it won\u2019t affect us. I don\u2019t live with my parents, and I won\u2019t let Liberty suffer from their anger.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary looked at Duncan and said, \u201cYou\u2019re still naive, Duncan. When the time comes, you\u2019ll realize that some issues are unavoidable. You\u2019ll have to confront them eventually.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIf Liberty gets together with you, won\u2019t 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\u2019s career takes off.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAdditionally, 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\u2019t feel confident enough to be by your side at this moment.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cGive her some time to change. She\u2019s right within reach, so you don\u2019t have to worry about her being taken by other men.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Without a<\/p>\n<p>Upon reflection, Zachary realized that Duncan would likely fail if he attempted to pursue Liberty at this time. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan remained silent for a while before responding, \u201cI\u2019ll think about it, Zachary. Of course, I won\u2019t confess my feelings to Liberty now. I\u2019ll wait until she recovers. I\u2019m willing to be patient. After all, I\u2019ve been single for thirty-six years; what\u2019s a few more?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As he aged, Duncan\u2019s mother grew increasingly anxious, which significantly raised his chances of being with Liberty. <\/p>\n<p>The two men chatted as they walked and soon arrived at Liberty\u2019s ward. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity raised her eyebrows upon seeing Duncan again, but remained quiet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDunc,\u201d Sonny said warmly as he greeted Duncan upon his arrival. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan smiled in return, set down the items he brought, and asked Liberty with concern, \u201cHow are you feeling, Liberty? Is your wound painful?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis. I\u2019ll be fine. The wound hurts, but it\u2019s manageable,\u201d Liberty replied. <\/p>\n<p>She hadn\u2019t noticed Duncan\u2019s presence when she first woke up and was unaware that he had watched over her all night. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity had also kept this information from her sister, intending to discuss Duncan with Liberty after her discharge from the hospital. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d Duncan replied, studying Liberty intently for a moment before asking, \u201cYou still look quite pale. Did the doctor say if you could eat?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity interjected, \u201cShe can only have liquid food starting tomorrow.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Duncan nodded again, momentarily at a loss for words. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, he could only exchange a few common pleasantries like other visitors before saying goodbye. <\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t stay to watch over Liberty that night, as lingering too long might raise her suspicions. <\/p>\n<p>In Liberty\u2019s eyes, Duncan\u2019s concern for her stemmed from her being Zachary\u2019s sister-in-law, so she wasn\u2019t surprised when he\u2026<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1431 \u201cI won\u2019t help you.
