Chapter 452 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Duncan smiled and replied, “I’m not just business partners with Mr. Lewis. We’re friends too, and the close kind. You’re his wife. It’s only natural that I help.”

He then turned to Sonny and added, “Sonny doesn’t like me and is scared of me, but I can’t help but draw near and play with him every time.”

Duncan found it amusing even though Sonny was scared to tears and burrowed himself in his mother’s embrace.

Sonny would think Mr. Lewis was treating him like a pet monkey.

“We got to go, Mr. Lewis.”

Liberty carried her son into her sister’s car and said goodbye to Duncan.

“Bye.” Duncan took strides to his car parked by the side of the road after Serena started the engine.

Once they were gone, Jessica nudged the grimacing man next to her. With Hank scowling, Jessica remarked, “What? Are you angry that a man was all over your ex- wife?

“Hank, you and Liberty are separated! She’s no longer your wife. What’s with that face?”

Getting a grip on himself, Hank wanted to explain his way out of it, but it was true that he puckered his brows. There was no excuse for that. In the end, he said, ” Jessica, I guess it’s the trait of most men. Men don’t see a problem finding a new love after a divorce, but their egos would be bruised if their ex–wives were getting some action.

“In other words, men don’t want their ex–wives to be better off.”

Releasing the tension in her facial lines, Jessica uttered, “That man must be rich. I saw his car. It was a Porsche.”

“He’s Mr. Lewis, the boss of Lewis & Co. He’s the youngest heir of the Lewis family. He built his company from the ground up without financial help from his family. He’s

worth billions. Yeah, he’s rich for sure. Mr. Lewis stood up for Liberty when my mom and my sister went to get Liberty to pay back the money owed by her grandfather.

“Didn’t you see him at the police station?”

Jessica replied, “I was focused on Mrs. Stone and her daughter.”

She did not get a good look at Duncan.

Jessica was immersed in the shock of learning that Mrs. Stone was Liberty’s aunt to

notice Duncan.

“Hank, I think Mr. Lewis likes Sonny. Will he slowly fall for Liberty because he took a shining to Sonny?”

Like Hank, Jessica did not wish Liberty a happy ending in life. Liberty’s pain gave

them great pleasure.

Jessica would be fuming if Liberty was better off after the divorce.

While loading the things into the car, Hank mocked, “Do you think Liberty has the looks to impress Mr. Lewis? Mr. Lewis will be thirty–six next year. I bet he has seen many gorgeous ladies in his lifetime, but he’s still single. It can only mean that he’s very picky when it came to women.

“There’s no chance Liberty can marry Mr. Lewis. Maybe in another life when she’s born into privilege. Who’s to say Mr. Lewis is still around then?”

“Doesn’t Liberty have a wealthy aunt? Her aunt might introduce her and marry her into money.”

Jessica believed Liberty could not give Duncan butterflies in his stomach, but Duncan was super nice to Liberty and her son. Jessica was jealous and resentful, to say the least.

Hank got into the car, buckled up, and commented, “I’d believe if Serena marries. into a rich and influential family. She’s young and good–looking. Even though she can fight and won’t hesitate to pull punches when she’s angry, she has a natural grace

about her.

“Liberty, on the other hand… Ha! Even I don’t think she’s good enough. A man of power and wealth like Mr. Lewis will never fall for her.”

Jessica answered, “Didn’t you notice Liberty has slimmed down? Mr. Lewis might have feelings for her when she shed the pounds and dress up a little. Some men have a thing for young divorcees.”

Hank uttered in disdain, “She’s still a fat cow no matter how many pounds she drops. I want to throw up just looking at her.”

He put one hand on Jessica’s lap. “You’re the best, Jessica. I love you the most.”

Jessica smiled in delight.

Liberty had nothing on her!

While on the way home with her sister, Serena had to bring up Duncan to her sister,” Liberty, I think the universe is putting you two together. You’re always running into him. I mean, he was driving by when he saw you and Sonny.”

Liberty burst into laughter. “That’s just a coincidence, Seren. Mr. Lewis is fond of

Sonny.

“Honestly, I have my apprehensions running into Mr. Lewis.”

“It’s true that Mr. Lewis takes a shine to Sonny. I was at an Italian place with Jasmine when we met Zack and Mr. Bucham buying Mr. Lewis dinner. I can’t believe the three of them were in the humble restaurant. We later had dinner together.

“Mr. Lewis asked why I hadn’t brought you and Sonny along.”

Liberty replied, “Mr. Lewis may look broad and callous, but he’s sensible and a real

softie.”

That was why he took to Sonny.

Ring, ring, ring…

Serena’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was Zack, Serena said, “Your darling brother–in–law is calling me, Liberty. He’s been away for three days now. This is the first time he’s giving me a call.”

“Did you take the initiative to call him? He’s away on important business. You had nothing to do at home. All you did was take Sonny out to shop and dine with Jasmine. You took Sonny out and about, and now the boy has the travel bug.

“You didn’t try to phone Zack and show him concern. Did you ask him if he can make it back for Christmas and New Year?”

“He said he’ll be back in time for the festive holidays.”

Serena said as she tapped to put the call on speaker.

“Where are you now, Seren?”

Zack knew Serena was out the moment the line was connected. He could hear the engine running.

“I went shopping with my sister. We bought a lot of gifts. All that’s left now is for you to come home.”

Zack was upset to find an empty house on his return. With the intensity easing on his frown, Zack sat down on the sofa and loosened his tie. He uttered tenderly,” Are you on the way back? When are you arriving home? I’m home. Text me when you reach the neighborhood. I’ll come downstairs to carry the stuff.”

Serena regrettably uttered, “You’re back? I thought you’d only return later tonight or tomorrow morning.”

“You don’t want me home?”

“No. I do. I want you home. The timing’s perfect. You can help carry the shopping bags.”

Serena believed she did not have enough fun, so she did not want her hungry wolf

home too soon to drain her out.

Since Zack was aloof in personality, Serena thought that he would act the same in the bedroom. It never crossed her mind that he was zealous and had great stamina. He was like an energizer bunny. Serena would think twice before trying to

turn him on.

She was worried she might not get out of bed if she got him too excited.

“Am I a porter to you?” Zack whined, but his tone reflected adoration. “Your personal porter will be downstairs, waiting for you.”
