After finishing the phone call with her sister, Serena heard Sonny’s laughter outside, and said to herself without laughing: “A child’s face is like the sky in June, and it will change if it changes.”
Liberty over there returned to her new restaurant. Just after parking the car, she saw Duncan coming out of the restaurant in a wheelchair, and a bodyguard pushed him.
Duncan might have come to look for Liberty, but Liberty wasn’t in the restaurant, so he wanted to leave, but he didn’t expect Liberty to come back at this time.
Seeing Liberty getting out of the car, Duncan signaled to the bodyguards not to push him anymore, and he sat at the door of the restaurant, watching Liberty walk over with a smile. “Mr. Lewis, when did you come? How long have you been here?”
Liberty asked him as he walked over, “If I’m not in the restaurant, if you need me urgently, you can call me.”
“I just came here too. I went in and took a look around, and knew you were not there, and wanted to go home, so you came back. I have nothing to do, I just wanted to see you.”
Liberty was now the pillar of confidence for him to stand up. Only when he saw her getting better and better, he has a sense of crisis, can he persist in doing rehabilitation.
Since he couldn’t let it go, Duncan thought that he should guard Liberty even in a wheelchair, and prevent others from taking Liberty away.
Liberty pushed him to go in, and said, “My office has been decorated, go in and have a glass of water.”
“Okay.” Duncan turned to look at her as she pushed him away.
After entering her office, Duncan asked, “Where did you go just now? I thought you were going to All You Can Eat. I went to All You Can Eat first. I didn’t see you before I came here.”
“I went to the hospital.” Liberty said honestly, “I went to see Sister Chelsea, and asked about Hank’s situation. He is Sonny’s father after all.”
Duncan groaned, obviously a little sour.
Even if he knew that Liberty and Hank would never be possible again, Hank was Sonny’s biological father, and he couldn’t change this. With Sonny around, Liberty and Hank had to meet each other.
“Hank still awake?” Duncan asked.
Liberty poured him a glass of warm water and replied, “Not yet. When I went to the hospital, his parents were not in the hospital.”
Chelsea had been taken care of by her husband.
Duncan didn’t speak again.
Liberty didn’t want to tell Duncan about her ex-husband, she asked Duncan: “Mr.
Lewis, how do you feel today?”
She looked at Duncan’s legs.
Duncan touched one of his legs and said, “I still can’t use my strength. I can’t even stand for a minute. Liberty, am I too useless?”
What Duncan cared most about was Liberty’s opinion of him.
Liberty quickly comforted and encouraged him: “Mr. Lewis, don’t be discouraged. You have only been discharged from the hospital for a few days. It’s good to be able to stand up on your own. Although you can’t stand for a minute now, it will get better and better. Don’t worry.”
Looking at her, Duncan couldn’t help reaching out to hold Liberty’s hand, Liberty instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held on tightly. “Liberty, if I can stand up again and walk like a normal person, If you don’t have a new boyfriend yet, can you give me a chance?”
“Liberty, I really like you. I have liked you for a long time. I blame me for being slow. I didn’t find out that I like you earlier. Otherwise, I would have confessed to you earlier.
Maybe we have passed the break-in period. “
Liberty withdraw her hand and sat down on the chair in front of her desk.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head and met Duncan’s expectant black eyes, and said, “Mr. Lewis, I don’t know how things will develop tomorrow, and I can’t give you an answer now. Until now, I haven’t thought about remarrying. You do your rehabilitation well. If, after you have recovered, I change my mind and decide to remarry, I am willing to give you a chance.”
Although this answer did not make Duncan feel at ease, at least it was a little. Looking forward to it, he nodded with a smile, “Liberty, thank you for giving me some hope.”
After that, after he finished his rehabilitation every day, his bodyguards would send him to Liberty’s place. Only by gaining a sense of presence every day could he have hope.
It could also prevent new men from approaching Liberty.
After all, Liberty was still young, and Liberty who had regained her slender figure was very charming.
Zack sent Duncan over that day, and then Zack left. He was sent home by Liberty. When Liberty pushed him out of the restaurant, the young owner of a supermarket diagonally across the street kept staring at her.
Liberty might not have noticed this. Duncan’s sensitivity was still a bit stronger than Liberty, so he noticed it.
“Mr. Lewis, I don’t necessarily change my mind. I feel fulfilled and at ease in this day and age, and I don’t really want to change.” Liberty felt that living with her son was good.
She was free during the day to take care of her business as long as her son had been sent to kindergarten.
Married, there were a lot of things for the in-family, law’s even if the Lewis family was wealthy, so she didn’t need to do anything, but she had to consider her husband’s and in-feelings law’s family’s in everything she did, so she didn’t have the freedom she had now.
If Duncan was willing to only fall in love and not get married, Liberty might have given him a clear answer long ago.
Unfortunately, Duncan presupposed marriage.
“Even if you’re with me, I won’t ask you to change anything for me. You can do what you want, and you can live how you usually live. You don’t need to worry about my feelings. I will come and do it.” Duncan said seriously, “Liberty, trust me, I can give you the life you want.”
Liberty smiled and changed the subject: “Mr. Lewis, let’s talk about feelings later, now I have no intentions.”
Duncan: “If someone else pursues you…”
Liberty: “I have rejected even such an excellent man as Mr. Lewis, and if other men come to pursue me, I will also refuse, and besides, there is no other man pursuing me now “
She frequently brought her son with her, and the mother and son look so similar that anyone could assume she is married, and those who were unfamiliar with her were unaware that she is already divorced. Duncan felt a sigh of relief.
“Ding Dong.”
A decoration master came and knocked on the open office door. When both of them looked at him, he said to Liberty: “Miss, a gentleman is looking for you, and it seems to be someone’s lawyer.”
“Whose lawyer?” Liberty was suspicious, she got up and went around the desk, and said, “Where is that lawyer?”
The decorator pointed to the door of the hotel.
After Liberty walked out of the office, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes standing at the door.
Seeing Liberty coming out, the middle-aged man walked towards Liberty, introduced himself politely, then took out a letter from his black briefcase, handed it to Liberty, and said to Liberty: “Miss Hunt, my client entrusts me to forward this letter to you.”
Liberty took the letter.
The lawyer was Jessica’s lawyer.
Jessica had not been sentenced in both cases, and she couldn’t see other people.
Even if she was sentenced, Liberty was neither her family member nor her guardian, so visiting the prison was inconvenient.
