Chapter 1544


    Duncan saw the calmness in Liberty’s eyes.


    She truly was not interested in him at all.


    That knowledge made Duncan feel defeated, but he soon got over it.


    Liberty had experienced a failed marriage before. Her ex–husband’s family was also pestering her at


    that moment. She was repulsed by love and marriage as a result.


    Duncan would need a long time to melt Liberty’s heart and make her believe in love and marriage


    again.


    He also gave himself a few years to pursue her and wait for her reply.


    He was not in a rush anyway


    He was willing to keep waiting unless Liberty got married to someone else.


    “Good morning, Liberty.”


    Duncan returned Liberty a greeting.


    Zachary left with Serenity with Sonny in his arms.


    As he walked, heined to his wife, “Honey, I was drunkst night and woke up with a headache


    this. morning. I think my headache worsened because I couldn’t see you after opening my eyes.”


    Serenity hooked his arm and said softly, “I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping soundly


    Does your head still hurt? You can continue sleeping after breakfast It’s the holidays. You can get a


    good rest”


    “Come and rest with me.


    “Okay I’ll be with you.”


    The unhappiness Zachary felt when he did not see his wife upon waking uppletely dissipated.


    He was that easy to coax.


    Duncan watched Liberty and asked concernedly, “How are you feeling today. Liberty?”


    I’m doing fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis,” Liberty replied formally.


    After a moment of silence, Duncan said, “Liberty, you’ve be a lot colder toward me.”


    “That’s not true. I’ve always treated you like this, Mr. Lewis.”


    Liberty gazed at Duncan calmly. “You’ve helped me out a lot I feel grateful to you. Why will I be cold to


    you?”


    She seemed as if she had not changed, but she did. She was cold and distant to him.


    “Liberty, I really like you.”


    Duncan confessed his feelings in front of her.


    Liberty was still calm. “Thank you for your love, Mr. Lewis. However, I’m not interested in rtionships


    right now. Please stop thinking about me. It’s a waste of time. You and Ms. Harmon are a good match,


    Mr. Lewis.”


    “It’s true that Lily and I have equal social status and background. Our mothers are best friends too. My


    mom has been trying hard to get Lily and me together, but I don’t feel attracted to her at all.”


    Duncan looked toward Liberty with a serious gaze. He said earnestly, “Liberty, I’m not a young and


    rash. boy anymore. I’m thirty–six. I’m clear about what I want and know what I’m doing.

    “Every word I sayes from my heart. I know you’re not interested in rtionships now I can wait. I


    just hope that you’ll treat me as usual and not be cold and distant to me.”


    Liberty met his gaze and said, “I’m not avoiding the problem, Mr Lewis. I simply don’t have feelings for


    you, so I don’t want to give you false hope and waste your time.


    “Mr. Lewis, I’m a divorced woman. I’m not saying that divorced women don’t have the right to pursue


    love again. It’s just that I don’t believe in love anymore. I don’t want to be involved in romantic


    rtionships Running my breakfast diner and earning money to raise Sonny is enough for me.


    “I know you’re not being impulsive or fooling me, but we really don’t suit each other. Please don’t waste


    your efforts on me anymore, Mr. Lewis. You’re a great guy. If you’re willing to turn your gaze elsewhere.


    you’ll find a better girl who suits you more than I do.”


    Liberty had no doubt that Duncan liked her.


    However, she was no longer a young girl who was inexperienced in love. She would not jump into a


    rtionship rashly.


    Apart from the existing difference between she and Duncan, the fact that Mrs. Lewis disliked her also


    stopped her from falling in love.


    Liberty had finally managed to escape the conflicts she had had with her inws. She never wanted to


    have a headache or get angry over issues with her inws again.


    Why would she make things difficult for herself again?


    Moreover, she truly had no feelings for Duncan.


    She never thought of bing a couple with him.


    “If you’ll excuse me, Mr. Lewis.”


    Liberty said apologetically, “I’ll be heading into the house first.” After speaking, she walked past


    Duncan.
