Chapter 1318


    Lily agreed. “I’m like that too. I only talk about work while I’m at work, and no talking shop while I’m


    resting.


    “Duncan, can I ask you some questions?”


    Duncan replied, “Go ahead.”


    “Our parents want us to be a couple, and I’m quite pleased with you. You can say that I like you very


    much, but it’s definitely too early to say that I love you. However, I believe I will be able to fall in love


    with you with time.”


    In Lily’s eyes, Duncan was her target.


    She liked him and wanted to conquer him, but when it came to love… Even she did not believe she


    loved him now, let alone Duncan.


    There was no such thing as love at first sight when it came to them.


    “However, you keep running away from me. Is it because I’m not good enough? Or do you have


    another person in your heart?”


    Duncan did not expect Lily to be so blunt about it.


    She did not hide anything or beat around the bush. Instead, she asked him directly. This character of


    hers was quite suitable as a friend.


    He looked at Lily. For the first time, he looked at her closely.


    He had to admit that she was beautiful and excellent in all aspects. Even someone as picky as his


    mother was incredibly satisfied with Lily. That was because Lily’s conditions were good.


    They were both from affluent families. Although they live in different cities, transportation was well–


    developed now. Even if they were not in the same city, it was not a big problem for two rich families to


    join in marriage.


    For example, the Johnson family from Annenburg and the Lafayette family from Meadspring came


    together in marriage. Annenburg and Meadspring were very far from each other.


    “You’re a great person, Ms. Harmon. You’re young, pretty, and very capable. You’re the ideal daughter–


    inw in my mother’s eyes.”


    Lilyughed. “What’s the use of being an ideal daughter–inw in your mom’s eyes? I want to know if


    I’m the ideal wife in your eyes.”


    Duncan thought about it and said, “I’m very busy at work. If my wife is also busy with work, we’ll both


    have to go out early ande homete every day. There won’t be warmth and happiness in the


    rtionship if we don’t spend time together as husband and wife.”


    “So, you want your wife to stay at home and take care of you and your children?”


    That was something she could not do.


    Even after marrying, she still had to keep her career and be financially independent.


    “I wouldn’t go that far. I want a wife who has a career but doesn’t have to go out early andes home


    late every day. I want someone who can allocate half her time caring for the family. I don’t care how


    much money she earns as long as she’s happy. I can provide for a family–to support my wife and


    children.”


    Duncan unknowingly listed Liberty’s current characteristics.

    Liberty could be considered having a career now. She had to leave early every day, but she did not


    have toe backte. Her business was only open for half a day, so the remaining half was free. time


    for her.


    Lily was smart and felt that the conditions Duncan put forward were a perfect match for Liberty, but she


    did not point it out.


    Duncan went to All You Can Eat for breakfast every day and was exceptionally kind to Liberty’s son,


    but there was nothing wrong with that. He probably would not admit it himself that he took a fancy to


    Liberty.


    “Both you and I are busy with work, but if we’re willing to find time to take care of our family, I believe


    we can do it. If we get together like both our parents want, I’ll definitely take care of my small family


    with care. However, it’ll be our home, so you also have to take care of it.”


    Duncan replied. “We’re not together yet…”


    “I was just making an analogy. Do you think I’m right? If you only want the woman to take care of the


    family while you enjoy yourself without making an effort, we’ll end it here. We will only remain friends


    and business partners.”


    What Lily wanted was mutual love, not unconditional effort from just one party.


    “You’re right, Ms. Harmon. I’m not the kind of person who only cares about enjoying myself and not


    making the effort to care for my family. Both the man and woman have to work together for a marriage


    tost. Only then will the couple remain happy.”
