Lily was unmarried and childless yet. How could she get a child to compare with Sonny?
Mrs. Lewis was furious with her son.
Duncan was not angry at being told off. “You asked me to tell the difference, and that was my honest thought. The primary reason is that I’m very fond of Sonny.”
Later, as he interacted with Liberty more often, he wanted to make her and Sonny accept him little by little.
How wonderful it was to form a family of three.
“I’ve never seen people like you who can’t wait to be someone’s stepdad!”
Mrs. Lewis further criticized her son.
Unbothered to speak more to her son, she quickly hung up the call.
She was worried that she might strangle her son if she continued talking to him.
“That b*stard really pissed me off. What an unfilial son. He actually can’t wait to be someone’s stepdad even though that kid doesn’t belong to him. Doesn’t Sonny have a father? His biological father is still. alive.”
After hanging up, Mrs. Lewis complained about her unfilial son to her husband.
She even felt that it was right to have a heart-to-heart talk with Liberty.
Duncan would not listen to her advice. Every time she tried to talk to her son about Liberty, the two of them would have a falling out, which affected their relationship.
It would be much easier to deal with Liberty.
What was more, Liberty was not interested in Duncan. She probably wanted to get rid of him very badly.
Anyway, Duncan was excellent, yet Liberty had no interest in him!
Liberty’s standards were really high.
Mrs. Lewis was filled with mixed feelings.
If Liberty fell in love with Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would find fault with her. Now that Liberty had no feelings for Duncan and was unwilling to accept his love, Mrs. Lewis felt that Liberty’s standards were too high. Duncan was an outstanding wealthy man, yet a divorced woman like Liberty was not interested in him!
By the time Liberty arrived at the destination set by Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis was already waiting for her.
She parked her e-bike and removed the helmet. She walked up to Mrs. Lewis and greeted her politely, “Hi, Mrs. Lewis.”
Although Mrs. Lewis had a row with her son and was furious at him, she remained well-mannered in front of Liberty and gently acknowledged her greeting.
“Let’s go in and take a seat.”
Mrs. Lewis invited Liberty in.
Liberty nodded and followed behind Mrs. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis did not tag along. His wife ordered him to stay in the car, and he was not allowed to leave.
Mrs. Lewis found a table in a corner to sit at, which was away from other customers. It was also quiet enough for her to speak to Liberty. She did not have to worry about other people overhearing their conversation.
Once Liberty was seated, Mrs. Lewis hailed a waiter over to order a glass of fruit juice for herself. Since it was nighttime, she did not want to drink coffee.
“Liberty, what would you like to drink?” Mrs. Lewis asked.
Liberty responded, “I’d like a glass of warm water.”
For a long time, Liberty had refrained from eating after six in the evening to lose weight. Although she had successfully shed pounds, she had become used to not eating past that hour. She did not want to change her habit in case she gained weight again.
Mrs. Lewis said to the waiter, “And a glass of warm water, please.”
”
After the waiter left, she said with a smile, “Are you trying to save money for me? I’m treating you to a meal, yet you just want warm water.”
“Mrs. Lewis, I drank warm water at night to lose weight back then. I would only drink when I was really thirsty. I dared not drink anything else because I was worried I couldn’t lose weight. Now that I’ve finally lost weight, I need to control my diet so I won’t revert to my previous figure.”
She had spent half a year losing weight.
It was no easy task.
Weight loss required perseverance.
Mrs. Lewis observed Liberty and praised her, “You can even be featured on weight loss advertisements. You’re totally different from when I first met you.”
-When she first met Liberty, Liberty was still a fatso.
Liberty laughed and said, “At that time, I was really fat, I have no idea how I got that fat.”
At the thought of her failed marriage with Hank, she felt that she was at fault.
Her biggest mistake was that she did not love herself. She thought her life would be stable after she got married and gave birth to a son. She was not bothered to maintain a good figure. She did not control her diet and ate everything in large amounts.
In the end, her weight rose sharply.
Her husband eventually looked down on her, which led to her broken marriage.
Women must love themselves.
Mrs. Lewis grinned without replying.
“Mrs. Lewis, you asked me out because you have something to discuss with me, right?” After chatting for a while, Liberty asked Mrs. Lewis directly.
Sonny was still left in the mall.
Even though Duncan was looking after him, Liberty was uneasy about it.
She wanted to quickly wrap up the discussion and get things settled.
Just as Mrs. Lewis was thinking about how to start the discussion without being abrupt, she did not. expect Liberty to ask her forthrightly. She said, “Liberty, I’d like to have a talk with you. It’s just a talk. I’m not going to force you.”
“Go ahead, Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lewis looked at the beautiful appearance of Liberty who had successfully lost weight, then she praised her by saying, “Liberty, you bear a passing resemblance to Mrs. Stone when she was younger. She was a beautiful career woman back then. Many elders wanted her to be their daughter-in-law.
“In the end, Mr. Stone captured her heart, and she became Mrs. Stone. Now
Stones.”
she is the mainstay of the
Old Mrs. Stone initially disapproved of her son and Audrey’s marriage. However, she could not take control of it. Her husband and son were fond of Audrey, so Old Mrs. Stone had no choice but to accept Audrey.
Anyway, the relationship between Old Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Stone was not the most pleasant.
When Stone Group got into trouble, Mrs. Stone was the one who went all out to save the company from crisis. It was only then that Old Mrs. Stone accepted Mrs. Stone wholeheartedly.
Elisa mentioned that when her mother just married into the Stone family, her grandmother made things difficult for her mother.
Liberty smiled before she said, “Considering that Aunt Audrey and my mom are biological sisters, it’s unsurprising that they both look similar. I look like my mom, so I bear a passing resemblance to Aunt Audrey as well.”
At the mention of her mother, Mrs. Lewis recalled that Liberty’s parents had both passed away. Liberty also had many outrageous relatives in her hometown who were orphans.
“Liberty, do you like Duncan now?”
All of a sudden, Mrs. Lewis asked.
Liberty had long guessed Mrs. Lewis’s intention of asking her out.
Without the slightest hesitation, she answered frankly, “Mrs. Lewis, I’ve always treated Mr. Lewis as my landlord and friend. I have no interest in him. I don’t hate him, but that doesn’t mean I love him.”
Mrs. Lewis stared intently at Liberty.
Having been in a wealthy family for decades, Mrs. Lewis was a good judge of character. She could tell that Liberty was telling the truth.
Liberty’s gaze was pure.
If she were lying, she would not have met Mrs. Lewis’s eyes openly. Liberty was not so crafty yet, was she?
