The sun rose.
It was a new day.
When Serena woke up, she realized her sister was already awake.
After Liberty was discharged, Serena insisted that Liberty move into her and Zack’s house to keep an eye on her while she was recuperating.
Considering that she had to recuperate and take care of a three-year-old, Liberty agreed to her sister’s request.
The mother and son moved into Zack’s villa on the hilltop temporarily
Liberty brought her son to take a walk in the garden.
During that season, Wiltspoon was starting to get hot. Many people could not resist turning on the air conditioner when the sun was up and blazing during the day.
However, it was still cooling in the morning.
Mornings in the villa were quiet. Liberty liked taking a walk in the garden in the mornings. She could exercise and admire the flowers at the same time.
Zack was not a fan of flowers and plants. In the past, they simply existed to beautify the villa. However, the villa ended up being decorated into a garden.
It was because Serena liked growing flowers.
Zack moved over a wide variety of pretty flowering plants from the greenhouse of the manor. He planted them in the villa on the hilltop for his beloved wife to enjoy them every day.
That day was Sonny’s day off. He did not need to go to the gym.
He was elated.
Although he had been going to the lessons for some time and gotten used to it, he still wanted to rest and cling to his mother occasionally.
“Mom.”
Sonny stopped in front of a pot of flowers. He turned and asked his mother, “Mom, can I pluck this flower?”
“Why do you want to pluck it?”
Liberty did not reject her son immediately. Instead, she asked him the reason for wanting to do so.
Sonny’s big eyes gleamed. He said, “I want to pluck the flower because I think it’s pretty.”
“What will you do after that?”
Sonny did not know what to reply.
Liberty squatted “You want to pluck the flower and play with it just because you think it’s pretty, right?”
Sonny nodded
He had the urge to pluck the flower because it was blooming beautifully.
“If you think this flower is pretty, other people will feel the same too. If everyone plucks the flower because they think it’s beautiful like you, there’ll soon be no more flowers for everyone to admire.
“Do you like seeing an empty flower pot or plenty of flowers blooming on the stems?“
Sonny knew that his thought of wanting to pluck the flowers was wrong. His eyes still shone, but the expression on his innocent face showed he was aware of his mistake.
“Mom, I won’t pluck flowers anymore. I’ll leave the flowers blooming on their own so everyone can enjoy them.”
Liberty caressed her son’s face. She praised him gently, “You’re a good boy. Whether you’re in Aunt Ser’s place or playing outside, remember not to pluck flowers, okay?”
Sonny nodded his head sensibly.
“Liberty.”
Serena heard her sister educating her nephew about a minor matter and walked over.
“Aunt Ser.”
Sonny jogged toward Serena with a smile.
Serena lifted him.
“If you like flowers, how about I pluck one for you?”
Sonny shook his head. “Don’t pluck the flowers, Aunt Ser. That way, we can see blooming flowers every day.”
Serena said to her sister with a smile, “Sonny understands everything right after he’s taught.”
“Children have to be educated from a young age. Humans are fundamentally good in nature upon birth. Everyone is like a sheet of blank paper at the start. It depends on how we, as parents, fill the paper up. Parents are the first teachers of children. Our words and actions will influence our children forever. “Why are you up so early and not sleeping in? The bookstore isn’t open today, right?”
“We won’t be open for a few days because school holidays start today. Liberty, your body hasn’t fully recovered. You should be lying down more.”
Serena put Sonny down. He raced ahead energetically while the sisters strolled behind him.
“My bones will grow moldy if I keep lying down. I don’t feel any discomfort now. It’s just some itch and pain from my wound.
“I’ll have to return to manage All You Can Eat after Jasmine visits her family.”
Serena and Liberty would be having a meal with the Sox family when Jasmine returned to visit them after their wedding day.
After that, Josh would take Jasmine on their honeymoon.
He had two months of marriage leave.
While the sisters were walking, a maid came over and said respectfully, “Missus, Mr. Lewis is here.”
Upon hearing the maid’s words, Serena looked toward her sister instinctively.
Liberty said indifferently. “Seren, whether he comes or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
Duncan was holding back when she was still in the hospital. He did not want her to be distracted by relationship matters while recuperating.
Once Liberty was discharged, Duncan stopped suppressing his feelings for her.
Even a fool could tell that he was pining for her.
Every time Duncan saw Liberty, his fiery gaze would always follow after her.
“Duncan is here for you,” Serena said. Next, she said to the maid, “Go and check if Zack is awake. If he isn’t, have Sam invite Mr. Lewis into the house and attend to him as our guest. My sister and I still wish to walk a little longer.”
Her sister did not accept Duncan’s feelings.
She was on her sister’s side.
The maid replied respectfully and carried out Serena’s instructions.
Everyone was used to Duncan coming over early in the morning for free breakfast.
Even without Serena’s instructions, Mr. Lewis’s car could enter the villa freely.
Before Duncan parked the car, he saw from afar that Serena and Liberty were taking a walk and admiring the flowers
When he took another look after parking the car, he could not spot them anymore.
He was not in a rush to go over to them.
He got out of the car and asked Sam, who was out to welcome him, “Sam, is Zack still sleeping?”
“Mr Zack got a little drunk last night. He hasn’t woken up yet.”
Sam smiled and said, “You may come inside to wait, Mr Lewis. Mr Zack should be up soon.”
The missus was already strolling in the garden.
Mr. Zack would not be able to stay asleep for long.
After getting drunk, he would sulk if he could not see the missus the next morning.
