Chapter 783 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

After a moment of silence, Duncan said, “No wonder my mom likes you so much, Ms. Harmon. You’re truly a considerate lady.”

Lily smiled confidently and said, “I think I’m outstanding too. I admit that I wanted to develop our relationship to being a couple and even husband and wife. I admire you, but you already have someone you like. Let’s just be business partners in the future.

“I’ve lost, and I accept it. You’ve spent a lot of time with Liberty since long ago. I was the one who came afterward. Timing was just not on my side. I think you would’ve fallen in love with me if I had come here before you met Liberty.”

Lily accepted that she could not gain Duncan’s fancy, but she also felt regretful.

There were few men whom she would admire and be willing to marry.

She was satisfied with Duncan, but sadly, her feelings were not reciprocated. They were not fated to be.

Both of them did not like to force things.

Duncan did not reply.

There were no ifs.

There was no “if only I had known earlier.”

His feelings for Liberty were unexpected, even to himself.

It was surprising.

“I’ll still live in your house, Duncan. I’ll also pretend in front of Mrs. Lewis and make her think I’m still trying my best to woo you. I already told her not to meddle in our affairs.”

If Lily backed out immediately, Mrs. Lewis would definitely do something.

Duncan stared at Lily in silence. After some time, he said calmly, “This is your decision, Ms. Harmon. You can do as you wish, but I won’t reciprocate or accept your feelings just because of this.”

He knew that Lily’s feelings for him had not extended to one of love. Therefore, she could remain. alert and rational when facing his reply. She even accepted the fact that she lost to Liberty calmly

However, he still made things clear beforehand.

No matter what Lily did, Duncan would never accept her.

He did not have a big heart. It was only enough for one person.

The woman who entered his heart first would be kept there forever.

Duncan would feel happy if he could marry the person he loved. If he could not marry her, he would not forget her and store his feelings for her in the depths of his heart.

Lily smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Duncan. I won’t expect you to repay me or accept my feelings for this. We’re all adults. We have to face the consequences of all the decisions we make.

“You can reject me if I invite you privately, but I hope you’ll give me an opportunity for business collaborations. Although Harmon Corporation hasn’t set its foundation in Wiltspoon, we’re still a mega-corporation back in our place.”

Duncan met her gaze. Her eyes were honest.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Regarding business collaborations, I won’t refuse to work with Harmon Corporation if the discussion is smooth and it’s a win-win situation.”

Lily said with a smile, “I’m relieved to hear this.”

After she finished her coffee, she said to Duncan, “I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. See you tonight, Duncan.”

They were going to the Buchams’ house to attend Josh and Jasmine’s engagement party that night.

Josh was the Bucham family’s young master. He had a close relationship with Julian, who valued him a lot. He was also York Corporation’s administrative executive. Mr. York and Mr. Lewis were his close buddies, so his engagement was naturally grand.

Josh doted on Jasmine a lot. Whether it was the engagement or the wedding that was coming afterward, he strived to make them the best. He wanted to leave Jasmine with good memories.

“See you tonight,” Duncan replied to Lily with a warm, deep voice.

Lily took her car keys and stood up to leave.

She came with Duncan, but they did not share a car. Duncan did not like sitting in the same car as her

It was convenient

If she drove her own car, she could go wherever she wanted

“Serena.”

Serena had just walked out of the ward when she heard Chelsea calling her.

Chelsea had waited for so long. Serena finally came out. Chelsea could not be bothered that Zack was right beside Serena. She picked up her bag and jogged toward Serena and her husband right away.

Zack’s handsome face darkened, and his gaze was icy. He stared at Chelsea coldly.

Chelsea flinched, but she braced herself and greeted him. “Hi, Mr. York.”

Zack’s lips were pressed tight. He did not reply to her greeting and continued staring at her coldly. It made Chelsea feel pressured.

How did Serena conquer such a cold, arrogant man? Chelsea criticized inwardly

She would not be able to bear spending time with a man like that He was too cold!

She did not dare look at Zack anymore Instead, she smiled and said to Serena, “Serena cant have a few words with you in private?”

Serena asked Chelsea, “What is it that you can’t say right now?”

Chelsea took a quick glance at Zack, then Serena Indeed, Serena was more pleasing to the eye

Chelsea used to treat Serena meanly and instigate her brother to quarrel with Liberty It was an indirect way of forcing Serena to move out. Firstly, it was because she wanted to make space for her children. She had planned to send her children to the middle school in the city.

Secondly, Chelsea was jealous of Serena’s youth and beauty. Liberty was beautiful before she married too. However, she did not bother maintaining it and bloated up like a ball. Her beauty before her marriage was gone Serena was different. She adhered to exercising every day and had always maintained a model-like figure.

It was known that opposites attract while likes repel.

Chelsea grew to be jealous of Serena.

However, her mindset changed as she only felt gratitude toward Serena. She felt no jealousy when looking at Serena’s pretty features. Instead, she found it pleasing and thought Serena was beautiful and kind. A girl like that deserved to be favored by the heavens, get married to an outstanding man like Zack, and enjoy glory and wealth.

“Serena, I think we should still talk in private.”

Serena glanced at her husband. She knew Chelsea was afraid of Zack. She said to him, “Babe, wait for me in the car.”

Zack said firmly, “I’ll wait for you here. You can just talk to each other there. I can see you, but I won’t be able to hear your conversation.”

He pointed to the end of the corridor and asked Serena and Chelsea to talk over there. He would be able to see them from the ward’s door, but he could not listen to the contents of their conversation.

Serena did as he asked.

She walked toward the end of the corridor first. Chelsea had no choice but to follow

Serena stopped when she reached the end. She turned to face Chelsea and asked coldly. “What do you want to talk to me about, Chelsea?”

“Is your sister feeling better, Chelsea? We’re concerned about your sister’s injury, so we visit her every day You guys might find it annoying, but we’re really worried Oh, there’s also Sonny Would you like us to take care of Sonny for the time being?

“Well, you have to care for your sister. It’ll be tiring if you have to take care of Sonny as well. There’s also your store’s business to manage. I’m not working now, and Lucas has started preschool. I’m free to help you. Sonny is my nephew too. I love him as much as you do ”

Serena refused. “We have a lot of people. We can take good care of a child, so you don’t need to worry, Chelsea. My sister is doing fine and recovering well She can return home to recuperate. after a week. Thank you for your concern.”

Chelsea had offered to take care of Sonny to start the conversation. She knew the Hunt sisters would never let the Brown family care for Sonny anymore.

It was all that evil woman, Jessica’s fault. Sonny nearly got harmed while Liberty got hurt because of Jessica.

Chelsea’s brother was useless too.

Sonny was still so young. Could he not have carried Sonny away?

He could not even protect Sonny, yet he still wanted to bring Sonny back to live with the Browns

What infuriated Chelsea the most was Hank busily running around for Jessica’s matters after Jessica was taken away by the police. He even thought of begging the Hunt sisters countless times. He wanted Liberty to forgive Jessica.

That way, Jessica’s sentence would be lenient.

Luckily, Chelsea’s parents were on her side. They had been stopping Hank from begging Liberty directly and indirectly.

No matter how stupid Chelsea was, she knew that if Hank dared ask Liberty to forgive Jessica, it would be tough for the Browns to meet Sonny in the future.
