Chapter 1266
Liberty answered sincerely, “It’s Mr. Lewis’s lot and he said that he was going to charge me a cheaper
rate since I am Zachary’s sister–inw. We settled on eight thousand a month for the rental and if you
add the utilities and all that, then ites down to just shy of ten thousand.”
Mrs. Lewis was relieved to hear that her son had charged Liberty a proper rental–at least he was not
giving the shop away as an act of charity.
Considering Liberty’s rtionship with Zachary, charging her eight thousand per month for rental was a
reasonable and fair price.
“That brat is taking your money? You’re Mr. York’s sister–inw, he should have the decency to let you
use the lot without charging you a rental,” Mrs. Lewis said this intentionally to elicit Liberty’s reaction.
Liberty quickly exined, “At the end of the day, business is business and I don’t think personal
rtions should y a part in it. I would not dare use the shop lot if he was not going to charge me rent
at all.”
“So he took the rental fee willingly when you gave it to him?”
“Yeah, I paid him cashst month. He counted it right in front of me to make sure that everything was in
order before leaving. As for this month’s rental, he instructed me to give the rent to his butler.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lewis wondered if her concerns were unwarranted.
If the boy did have feelings for Liberty, he probably would not have charged her rental in the first ce.
“That child… Well, at least there’s a lot of peopleing and going around these parts of town so I’m
sure your business can profit even after paying the rent.” She suddenly added, ” Speaking of which,
where’s your son?”
“Seren took Sonny to her ce.”
Mrs. Lewis hummed.
The mutual affection and support between the Hunts sisters was certainly something to admire.
“It must be very tiring to run a business. You’ve lost a lot of weight from what I can see.”
Mrs. Lewis eyed Liberty from head to toe as she said this. She observed that Liberty seemed
considerably skinnier than when she first met her.
She had to admit that Liberty looked much betterpared to her past self.
The main reason for her giow–up was the vibrant energy she exuded. She had turned into a greatly
motivated and confident woman.
Based on her observation, Mrs. Lewis figured that it only made sense that her youngest son would
catch feelings for Liberty as she was apletely different woman these days. Her son had always
been fond of confident women who embraced their identity–just like Lily.
She thought that if she let her son spend more time with Lily, he would gradually develop feelings for
Lily.
“It is a little exhausting, but I’m very disciplined and make sure I get my exercise in every day and
watch my diet; that’s how I lost weight gradually. To be honest, I haven’t reached my weight loss target
yet as I want to go down to a hundred pounds. So I still have about thirty pounds to shave off.”
Running the shop had demanded more of her energy but she persevered on her weight- loss journey
nheless. Her efforts were paying off since she found herself losing weight faster than ever.
She weighed a hundred and thirty pounds now.
She just had to stick it out a little longer and she would reach her goal.
“Take it easy, it’s nice to keep a little weight around, you’ll age slower that way.”
Liberty remarked, “Based on my height, a hundred pounds is more or less an ideal weight.”
She had been far too skinny before marriage. Perhaps Mrs. Lewis had a point, especially considering
she was in her thirties now, she should be wise to start taking some anti–aging measures.
Mrs. Lewis’s phone suddenly rang. When she reached for the phone in her pocket, a picture slipped
out and fluttered to the ground.
Liberty picked it up for her instinctively and noticed the person in the picture. It was a young, charming,
and beautifuldy.
