Chapter 873 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

So, when Liberty said she was a Wiltspoonian, Mrs. Lewis could not refute it.

“Liberty.”

Mrs. Lewis’s voice was a little harsh. “Are you reluctant to leave Wiltspoon because you’re thinking about accepting Duncan in the future?”

At this point, Liberty was not in love with

What about the future?

uncan.

Mrs. Lewis could not help but suspect that Liberty might fall in love with Duncan later on.

“Mrs. Lewis, I admit that Mr. Lewis is a great man. I can’t guarantee the future. I might accept him later or never at all. Anyway, one thing I can be sure of is that I’ll never marry into your family if you disapprove!”

This meant that Liberty redirected the issue at Mrs. Lewis again.

Mrs. Lewis was at a loss for words.

Anyhow, Liberty would not reach a compromise with Mrs. Lewis.

Mrs. Lewis, is there anything else? If not, I’ll take my leave. Sonny is still in the mall. I need to pick him up.”

Deep down, Liberty was slightly bitter about it.

She had never thought of being in a relationship with Duncan. However, in the face of Mrs. Lewis’s request, it was only natural to feel bitter.

All Liberty did was rent Duncan’s store. Besides Duncan being good friends with Zack, Duncan had helped her a lot, which was why she treated him enthusiastically. Even so, she had never thought of being with Duncan, yet she was compelled to leave.

She did not do anything wrong, so why must she leave?

“You may take your leave. Be careful while riding on the road since there’s heavy traffic,” Mrs. Lewis said with fake gentleness.

Liberty took the key to her e–bike before she bade Mrs. Lewis goodbye. Then, she rose to her feet and left.

Soon after Liberty left, Derek came in.

Seeing his wife seated in a corner, he walked toward her.

“How was the talk? It ended so quickly?”

Derek saw Liberty leave with a calm expression, which he could not decipher.

He had no idea how the discussion went between the two women.

“I told her what I came here to tell her, and our talk ended just like that. It didn’t work out. She’s as stubborn as your son. She doesn’t think it’s her problem…” After falling quiet for a moment, she added, “Though it’s true that it’s not her problem.”

She let out a long sigh before she told her husband about the conversation between Liberty and her.

At last, she said, “Liberty said she can guarantee that she won’t marry into our family if I disagree.

“Darling, do you think Liberty is cunning? Since she won’t marry into our family if I disagree, Duncan is going to be at odds with me. This will affect my relationship with Duncan.”

“You disapprove of their relationship anyway. Duncan and you are always in conflict. It’s not Liberty’s fault.”

Mrs. Lewis gasped.

Indeed, she had never approved of Duncan and Liberty’s relationship. However, after Liberty made the promise, Mrs. Lewis felt that she had been schemed against. It would be untrue to say that Liberty schemed against Mrs. Lewis, though. It just did not feel right to Mrs. Lewis.

“Darling, why don’t we do something to our son? Let’s see if we can relocate the main business of Lewis & Co. to another city.”

Derek said, “Are you under the impression that Duncan has only started his company? Lewis & Co. has made it to one of the top five corporations. His net worth is currently tens of billions of dollars. A few years later, it might exceed our family’s wealth.

“What’s more, Lewis & Co. and York Corporation have been working closely. Do you think you can deal with Lewis & Co.? Duncan and Josh are good friends. You’re well aware of the Buchams‘ background, aren’t you? If Duncan finds out that we hatch a devious plot against him in order to stop him from going after Liberty, what will the consequence be? Have you thought of all these?

“He might turn against me. Duncan might seem rough, burly, and casual, but he’s actually the kind who holds grudges.”

“Since all these methods won’t work, am I going to watch. Duncan go after Liberty and let her marry into our family eventually?”

Derek said, “Liberty has promised you, hasn’t she? As long as you disagree, she definitely won’t marry into our family. You should be cruel and leave your son to be single.”

Mrs. Lewis was speechless.

She could not bring herself to allow her son to go after Liberty.

However, she could not bring herself to be cruel and disapprove of her son’s relationship with Liberty forever.

Parents would always be the one who relent first while in a conflict with their children.

“I’ve told you earlier that it’s no use meeting Liberty. The problem lies with your son. Even if you approve of Duncan to be with Liberty, Liberty won’t be with him since she doesn’t love him. “Liberty isn’t even interested in your son!”

Mrs. Lewis said, “I wonder what’s wrong with Liberty’s taste. My son is outstanding, yet she’s not interested in him. What kind of man does she want to marry?”

“Is it a must for divorced women to remarry? I guess Liberty is frustrated. It’s not easy for her to accept a new relationship. If Duncan doesn’t give up, he might spend several years trying to move Liberty. Perhaps you won’t be stopping them from getting together. Instead, you might be the one begging Liberty to be with Duncan.”

Mrs. Lewis’s face darkened.

“It’s impossible for me to beg Liberty to be with Duncan unless pigs can fly.”

Derek was teasing her inwardly, ‘Don’t jinx it. It might be a slap to your face. You might beg Liberty to marry your son in the future, and pigs can actually fly.’

Duncan, who was keeping an eye on Sonny in the mall, was absent–minded.

He wanted to meet his mother and Liberty very badly. He wanted to hear about the conversation between the two of them. Would

Liberty be more reluctant to accept his love?

However, he could not leave.

He had to keep an eye on Sonny.

Liberty had Duncan look after Sonny. If anything happened to Sonny, Duncan would feel sorry for Liberty.

With his hands shoved in the pockets of his pants, he paced back and forth at the entrance of the playground, but Liberty was nowhere in sight.

“Dunc, Dunc.”

Sonny was tired, and he wanted to go home.

He wanted to leave, but a staff member forbade him from coming out alone. She said to Sonny, “See whether your parents are around. If they’re not, you can continue playing. You can come out once they’re here to pick you up.”

Sonny did not see his mother, but he caught sight of Duncan. He shouted Duncan’s name.

Duncan was not paying attention to Sonny. Also, due to the noise in the playground, he did not hear Sonny’s voice.

The attendant walked up to Duncan and patted his shoulder. Just as Duncan turned around and looked at her, she asked, “Sir, are you the parent of that kid? He doesn’t want to play anymore. He wants to leave.”

The minute Duncan saw Sonny, he quickly replied, “Yes. I’m his uncle.”

While speaking, he strode toward Sonny.

“Dunc.”

Sonny pointed at Duncan and said to the attendant, “Miss, he’s Dunc. He’s very close to my uncle. Can he take me away?”

Duncan learned about the rule of the playground from Liberty. He added, “I came with his mom just now. His mom went to buy something, so I was stationed here to look after him.”

The attendant mainly wanted to confirm that Sonny knew Duncan. Given that Sonny seemed close to Duncan, she let Sonny out.

Duncan took Sonny’s shoes over and bent down. He carried Sonny and put him on his lap before helping him to put on his shoes.

Then, he put Sonny down and held his hand to leave.

“Dunc, my mom paid. Now that I’m done playing, I can get the money back.”

Sonny was referring to the deposit.

Duncan took Sonny to retrieve the deposit. After that, he carried Sonny and headed outside.

“Dunc, where’s my mom?” Sonny asked.
