After thinking about it, Josh called Zack. When Zack picked up, he asked, “Did Duncan call you out for drinks? What kind of shock did he experience? He asked me out for a drink and hung up without giving me a chance to reject him.
“He comes to disturb me while I’m still on my marriage leave. Are you free, Zack? You should go with him for a drink or two. I’m heading to Wiltspoon School to accompany my wife.”
After he finished speaking, Zack said, “Duncan called me just now. He ended the call without giving me the chance to refuse him too. He was obviously obstructed by his mother again when wooing my sister–in–law. They must’ve fought again.”
Mrs. Lewis was stubborn and unwilling to give them her blessing.
Although Duncan was headstrong, she was his mother after all. He was frustrated about it too.
Zack thought, ‘My sister–in–law hasn’t even accepted his feelings.‘
Mrs. Lewis’s discouraging actions would only affect her relationship with her son.
Josh frowned. “Your sister–in–law hasn’t accepted Duncan yet, right? She said she didn’t like him and harbored no feelings for him. What can Mrs. Lewis achieve by making such a big fuss?”
“She’s doing this because my sister–in–law doesn’t have feelings for Duncan. She wants Duncan to give up.”
Zack sighed. “I’ll just have a drink. Let’s persuade Duncan to let go too.”
He had talked to Duncan about it before. If Liberty did not accept Duncan, he advised Duncan not to keep pestering her to prevent them from losing their friendship.
Zack had a solid friendship with Duncan, having been friends for many years. He was caught between a rock and a hard place standing in between Duncan and Liberty now.
Based on his understanding of Duncan, he definitely wished Duncan could end up with Liberty. If so, the rest of her life would be filled with happiness.
However, Mrs. Lewis was adamant about opposing the relationship, and her attitude worsened. Therefore, Zack did not support Duncan and Liberty getting together anymore.
After a moment of silence, Josh said, “We know how Duncan is. The more someone stops him, the more he refuses to let go. He has a rebellious nature right to his bones. No one can persuade him to do otherwise unless he’s willing to let it go himself.”
Even if Liberty left, Duncan would neither give up nor let go.
He would find her back even if he had to travel the entire world.
Liberty was aware of the reality. Therefore, she did not think of running away.
It was unavoidable.
The most she could do was relocate, so Duncan could no longer visit her apartment daily.
In Josh’s words, they had known Duncan for so many years and knew Duncan very well.
Duncan looked rough and careless, as if he didn’t care about anything.
In fact, he was very persistent in dealing with feelings.
Liberty never remarried for the rest of her life, and Duncan would really never marry for her.
If Liberty married someone else, Duncan would still not marry for the rest of his life.
Duncan was such a person, if he couldn’t marry the woman he wanted to marry, he would rather be single for the rest of his life.
“If you can’t get away, I’ll go. I’ll accompany him.” Zack thought that Josh was still on marriage leave, and Jasmine was pregnant again, so Josh must not be in the mood to do other things.
Josh said: “Jasmine is in the bookstore. I arranged for bodyguards to protect her. I’m fine. Let’s go together.”
Zack hummed.
After finishing the call, Zack looked at Serena who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine.
Serena didn’t pay attention to the conversation between the two, but only heard a few words, guessing that it was Josh who called.
Zack looked at Serena quietly, and felt that when she was reading the magazine intently, there was a tranquil beauty.
Although Serena was naturally beautiful, under the nourishment of Zack’s love, she became more and more beautiful and her temperament became better and better.
Well, it’s Zack’s fault.
Getting up, Zack went around the desk and walked towards Serena.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Serena looked up at Zack, smiled, and asked him: “Are you done?”
To prepare for the evening’s activities, she came over and waited for Zack to go home together. When she came, Zack was still there busy, she waited in his office.
“Not yet.” Zack walked in front of her, didn’t sit down, but looked down at her.
“What’s the matter?”
Serena immediately sensed that Zack had something on his mind.
She closed the magazine.
“Duncan made an appointment with me, Josh, to go out for a drink or two. I’ll ask you for instructions.”
Serena smiled. She stood up and helped Zack straighten his shirt and tie. “You can go if you want. You don’t need to ask me for instructions. You’re fine if you’re not drunk.”
Zack brought a group of bodyguards with him when he went in and out, and even if he drank, the bodyguards would send him back, so he didn’t have to worry about being picked up by other women.
“For no reason, why did Duncan invite the two of you to have a drink? Did he quarrel with Mrs. Lewis again?”
If Duncan and Mrs. Lewis quarreled, it must be because of her sister, Liberty.
Zack’s silence was tantamount to acquiescing.
After Serena pursed her lips, she asked Zack: “Can you persuade Duncan to give up? He is always very good, but Mrs. Lewis reacted fiercely, and she still couldn’t accept my sister, and my sister didn’t want to be with Duncan. It will continue to develop, but Duncan will not give up, he and you are close buddies, and my sister dare not go too far.”
Zack: “Josh and I were also discussing this issue just now, and I feel that there is little hope.”
At this time, Serena received a message from her sister, Liberty.
Liberty told Serena in the message that she found a new rental house and planned to move now, and told her that the new rental house was in a high-end community with a high level of security.
Although the rent was also very expensive, in order to prevent Duncan from coming to her place every day, Liberty was willing to pay more for the rent.
In addition to moving to a rented house, Liberty also told Serena that after such a long period of observation, the two shop assistants were real people and could take over her work. She decided to give the two shop assistants a little more salary and let them take care of All You Can Eat.
She reduced the number of times she went to All You Can Eat, and even if she did, she chose to go and have a look after 8 o’clock.
By staggering the time, she could avoid meeting Duncan.
Liberty asked Serena for help.
After reading the message sent by Liberty, Serena sighed inwardly.
After all, Liberty was forced to take the road of escape.
If she hadn’t married Zack, and the York family was in Wiltspoon, she would have stayed in Wiltspoon to live. Liberty might really do what Mrs. Lewis wished, and quietly leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, away from Duncan.
Even if Duncan traveled all over the world, he would find Liberty, but it would take time.
Serena replied to Liberty that she respected and would help her with any decisions she made.
“A message from Liberty?” Zack guessed.
Serena hummed.
