Chapter 1544<\/p>\n

Duncan noticed the calmness in Liberty\u2019s eyes. She genuinely had no interest in him at all. This realization left him feeling defeated, but he quickly moved past it. Liberty had gone through a failed marriage and was currently being harassed by her ex-husband\u2019s family. As a result, she felt repulsed by love and marriage. <\/p>\n

Duncan understood that it would take a long time to win back Liberty\u2019s heart and help her believe in love and marriage again. He was willing to invest several years in pursuing her and patiently awaiting her response. He wasn\u2019t in a hurry; he was prepared to wait, unless she got married to someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning, Liberty,\u201d Duncan greeted her. <\/p>\n

Zachary left with Serenity, cradling Sonny in his arms. As they walked, he complained to his wife, \u201cHoney, I was drunk last night and woke up with a headache this morning. I think my headache got worse because I didn\u2019t see you when I opened my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity linked her arm with his and replied softly, \u201cI didn\u2019t wake you because you were sleeping soundly. Does your head still hurt? You can continue resting after breakfast. It\u2019s the holidays; you should take it easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome and rest with me,\u201d Zachary urged.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be right there with you,\u201d Serenity answered.<\/p>\n

The unhappiness Zachary had felt from not seeing his wife upon waking quickly faded away. He was easily soothed.<\/p>\n

Duncan turned to Liberty and asked with concern, \u201cHow are you feeling today, Liberty?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing well, thank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis,\u201d Liberty responded formally.<\/p>\n

After a brief silence, Duncan remarked, \u201cLiberty, you\u2019ve become much colder toward me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not true. I\u2019ve always treated you this way, Mr. Lewis,\u201d Liberty replied, gazing at him calmly. \u201cYou\u2019ve helped me a lot, and I feel\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

grateful to you. Why would I be cold to you?\u201d She appeared unchanged, yet she was different; she was now cold and distant towards him. \u201cLiberty, I really like you,\u201d Duncan confessed his feelings openly. Liberty remained calm, responding, \u201cThank you for your affection, Mr. Lewis. However, I\u2019m not interested in relationships at the moment. Please stop thinking about me; it\u2019s a waste of time. You and Ms. Harmon are well-suited for each other.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true that Lily and I share similar social status and backgrounds. Our mothers are best friends, and my mom has been pushing for a relationship between us, but I\u2019m simply not attracted to her,\u201d Duncan said, looking at Liberty seriously. \u201cLiberty, I\u2019m no longer a young, impulsive boy. I\u2019m thirty-six, and I know what I want and what I\u2019m doing. Every word I say comes from my heart. I understand you\u2019re not interested in relationships right now, and I can wait. I just hope you won\u2019t be cold and distant with me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Liberty met his gaze and replied, \u201cI\u2019m not avoiding the issue, Mr. Lewis. I just don\u2019t have feelings for you, and I don\u2019t want to give you false hope or waste your time. Mr. Lewis, I\u2019m a divorced woman. This doesn\u2019t mean divorced women can\u2019t pursue love again, but I no longer believe in it. I\u2019m focused on running my breakfast diner and raising Sonny, and that is enough for me. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re not being impulsive or trying to deceive me, but we truly are not a match. Please don\u2019t waste your efforts on me any longer, Mr. Lewis. You\u2019re a wonderful person, and if you shift your attention elsewhere, you\u2019ll find someone better suited for you than I am.\u201d Liberty had no doubt about Duncan\u2019s feelings for her; however, she was not interested.<\/p>\n

Liberty was a young girl who lacked experience in love and was not one to rush into a relationship. In addition to the differences between her and Duncan, Mrs. Lewis\u2019s dislike for her further hindered her from developing any romantic feelings. Liberty had finally managed to distance herself from the conflicts she had endured with her in-laws; she had no desire to create more headaches or become angry over issues with them again. Why would she complicate her life once more? Furthermore, she genuinely had no feelings for Duncan and had never considered becoming a couple with him. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ll excuse me, Mr. Lewis,\u201d Liberty said apologetically, \u201cI\u2019ll be heading into the house first.\u201d With that, she walked past Duncan.<\/p>\n
