Chapter 1269


    Lily steered the wheel while remarking, “Which is why I said that the Hunt sisters have very good


    characters. Considering how Liberty’s marriage had just fallen through, I doubt she would be looking for


    a new rtionship so soon.


    “The only thing she’s focused on now is starting her business and making money. Another marriage


    has probably never even crossed her mind yet.”


    People who had experienced a failed marriage tend to be more vignt when it came to founding a new


    rtionship with another.


    Since her mind was fixed on building a foundation for her business, romantic affairs should not concern


    her in the least. Mrs. Lewis stated, “If she dares to hatch any ideas about Duncan, I’ll be the one


    chasing her out of the shop lot first. Don’t even think about setting up her restaurant at our property. It


    doesn’t seem like she’s up to anything now but I still feel strangely suspicious about her, like


    something’s going to happen between her and Duncanter on.”


    “You can deal with it when it happens, too much precaution can be a bad thing sometimes. Besides,


    you have to factor in that she’s not all alone. Her sister is thedy of the York household so Liberty has


    the entire York family backing her. You’ve seen how Tania is so protective of Serenity even when she is


    not very fond of her.”


    Mrs. Lewis agreed with Lily’s sentiments. “The Yorks have a close rtionship with my family as well,


    so I certainly cannot brashly shove Liberty out the door just because I wanted to. Otherwise, I’ll risk


    offending the Yorks. Also, Liberty’s aunt, Mrs. Stone, is not someone I want to mess with.”


    Originally, Mrs. Lewis wanted to dissuade her son from renting the shop lot to Liberty for her diner as a


    means to keep their interaction at a bare minimum. That way, she could rest her worries about a


    rtionship sparking between the two.


    The way things were now, she woulde off as rather unreasonable for doing so. Pulling off such a


    stunt would also anger the Yorks as well as the Stones. It might be quite unnecessary as well since it


    did not seem like Liberty was interested in Duncan.


    It was simply not worth it.


    However, it might be toote to spring to action only after something happened between Duncan and


    Liberty.


    As a mother, Mrs. Lewis was well informed of Duncan’s personality.


    He would not rashlymit to a rtionship, but once he did, you could assume that he was


    committed for life.

    They stayed quiet for a while before Lily broke the silence, “Mrs. Lewis, let’s forget about trying to


    chase Liberty out. It’s not exactly easy for her to start a business as a newly–divorced woman. Besides,


    business seems good right now, and I wouldn’t want to get in the way of a mother trying to make ends


    meet for the sake of her son.


    “And if something were to happen between Duncan and Liberty… Well, I suppose it wille down to


    a fair match between me and her for Duncan’s affection. And if I lose, then so be it. When


    ites to love, the strong doesn’t alwayse out on top–that’s the way it is.


    “Every man has a different preference for a partner. Some are just desperate for a partner and can


    settle for anymondy while others prefer a strong character in the person they are going to spend


    the rest of their lives with to form the ideal power couple. We don’t know yet if Duncan is the former or


    latter type.”


    Mrs. Lewis expressed with a sigh, “Lily, it’s admirable that you are staying true to your conviction. but


    just remember that I’m on your side.


    “Liberty might not be hatching any ideas about Duncan right now but if she does fall in love with him


    later on, I will be the first to object to their marriage. She shouldn’t even think about joining my family.


    My son has not even had a girlfriend yet, so why should he be marrying a woman already burdened


    with a child?”


    Lily smiled and said kindly, “Thank you, I will do my best and know that however this ends, I gave it my


    all.”


    She was beaming with confidence.


    “Lily, you don’t even know how fond I am of you. I truly hope things will work out between you and


    Duncan. I believe in you! I long for the day we be family.”


    Lily smiled warmly.


    A crew hade to deliver the hand–woven goods to Serenity again.


    After inspecting the delivery and ensuring that there was no problem with the products, she settled the


    payment before issuing yet another new order.


    After seeing the part–time crafters off, she put the handicraft into packages and called a courier to


    collect them.


    Shortly after, the courier showed up to collect said packages. After the matter was settled, Serenity


    looked at the time and turned to Jasmine, “Jas, I’m taking Sonny to go shopping with me.”
