Chapter 1564<\/div>\n
Grandma May smiled and said, \u201cI could tell for a long time. Back then, Duncan didn\u2019t admit to liking you; he thought he liked Sonny instead. He was only nice to you because you are Sonny\u2019s mother. Perhaps he initially liked Sonny but gradually came to appreciate you.\u201d<\/div>\n
Liberty blushed and replied, \u201cGrandma May, I have no feelings for Mr. Lewis. He confessed his feelings to me, but I politely rejected him.\u201d<\/div>\n
Grandma May inquired, \u201cIs it because of Mrs. Lewis? She\u2019s not unkind, but her belief in what constitutes an appropriate match regarding social status is deeply rooted. Honestly, it\u2019s beneficial for a married couple to be well-matched, so I don\u2019t blame her for being persistent.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI agree that a married couple should be well-matched. Mr. Lewis and I aren\u2019t compatible, and I\u2019ve never considered a relationship with him. I\u2019m just an ordinary tenant renting his shop space.\u201d<\/div>\n
Liberty had no desire to climb the social ladder.<\/div>\n
Her sister could achieve that due to her good fortune, but Liberty was not interested in pursuing such a life.<\/div>\n
Serenity was fortunate that her in-laws and their family accepted her, but that also came with immense pressure. Liberty believed that if Serenity and Zachary didn\u2019t have a strong relationship, she would have been unwilling to endure such stress and would have separated from Zachary long ago.<\/div>\n
They were ordinary people seeking to live normal lives.<\/div>\n
\u201cLet me share my thoughts. While others may not be suitable for you, Duncan is a good match. He comes from a wealthy family but was quite rebellious in his youth. He ran away from home for many years and faced hardships while on his own.<\/div>\n
\u201cHe can live the ordinary life you desire with you. In terms of material possessions, he only has a taste for luxury cars and is very low-key in other areas. He doesn\u2019t have extravagant desires, so it will be incredibly easy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

for him to integrate into your life,\u201d Grandma May observed. Liberty replied thoughtfully, \u201cGrandma May, I\u2019ve been through a failed marriage. Hank and I knew each other for over a decade, loved each other for a few years, and were married for more than three years. Despite this, we ended up divorced. I no longer aspire to marriage or love.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need to marry again, nor do I require a man to depend on. My life is quite fulfilling as it is. Besides earning a living, my greatest wish is for Sonny to succeed. Marriage doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness for a woman; often, it brings pain and exhaustion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a marriage, women frequently bear the brunt of sacrifices. I left my job to care for our baby at home\u2014giving birth and raising our child. I became a full-time housewife, but what did I gain? I became isolated from society and centered my life around my husband and child. I didn\u2019t have the time or energy to present myself well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I knew it, I had morphed into an ordinary housewife. I invested so much of myself, yet it seemed meaningless to others. I was criticized for not soothing our child when he cried and blamed for failing to care for him when he was ill. Despite being home all the time, I was berated for not raising our child properly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I spent money, it was only on our small family\u2014on my husband and child. I hesitated to treat myself, and when I occasionally bought new clothes, my husband scolded me. He questioned the necessity of new clothes since I didn\u2019t socialize.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever I requested an allowance, I was told to cut back. I was accused of overspending, as if my purchases were the sole reason for our financial strain. It felt as if I were being labeled as greedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn summary, I constantly faced my husband\u2019s criticisms. He was aware that I had no income yet insisted on splitting expenses evenly. I sacrificed so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our love, marriage, and family meant so much to me, yet I was asked to pay for half of everything, as if I had taken advantage of him. He wanted me to work and earn money, but also expected me to continue being a free nanny at home.<\/p>\n

Liberty reflected on her failed marriage and asked, \u201cGrandma May, if you were in my position, would you still believe in marriage and love? If something like this can happen in a first marriage, what hope is there for a second?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no desire to remarry\u2014not at least in the next few years. Grandma May, if Mr. Lewis persists, I would appreciate your help in introducing me to a man who can pretend to be my partner, so Mr. Lewis will let go of his intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grandma May replied, \u201cA woman sacrifices a lot in an ordinary marriage. It\u2019s unfortunate if her husband doesn\u2019t recognize that. Perhaps this is why many women hesitate to marry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no rush. You can give Duncan a chance first. If you find you can\u2019t accept him after all he\u2019s done and want him to step aside, I\u2019ll help arrange someone to act as your partner. I just feel that Duncan and Hank are quite different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liberty chuckled at herself and said, \u201cI\u2019m still traumatized from what happened. Mr. Lewis seems great now, but who knows? Hank was wonderful too, and I never imagined we\u2019d end up divorced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things had become difficult before the divorce. Hank grew reckless and cheated on Liberty with Jessica after he achieved some success and started earning money.<\/p>\n

Duncan, who came from a wealthy family and was richer than Hank, made Liberty doubt whether his feelings for her would ever change.<\/p>\n
