Chapter 1564

Grandma May smiled and said, “I could tell since long ago. Duncan didn’t admit to liking you back then.

He thought he liked Sonny instead and was only nice to you because you’re Sonny’s mom. Perhaps he

liked Sonny at first and had slowly come to like you later on.”

Liberty blushed and said, “Grandma May, I have no feelings for Mr. Lewis. He confessed to me, but !

politely rejected him.”

Grandma May asked, “Is it because of Mrs. Lewis? She’s not ill–natured, but her idea of an

appropriate. match in terms of social status is deeply ingrained in her. Honestly, it’s good for a married

couple to be well–matched, so I don’t blame her for being so persistent.”

“I also think that a married couple should be well–matched. Mr. Lewis and I are not, and I’ve never

thought. of anything happening between us. I’m only an ordinary tenant who rents his shop lot.”

Liberty did not have the idea of rising to the top.

Her sister could do that due to her good fortune, but she did not want to pursue such a life.

Serenity was blessed such that her in–laws and their family never disliked her, but there was also huge.

pressure on her. If she and Zachary did not have a good relationship, Liberty dared say that she would

not be willing to bear so much pressure and would have split up with Zachary long ago.

They were ordinary people who only wanted to live normal lives.

“I’ll tell you what I think. Other people might not be suitable for you, but Duncan is a good match. He

comes from a wealthy family but was utterly rebellious in his youth. He ran away from home for many.

years and suffered while he was outside.

“He can live the ordinary life you want with you. In terms of materials, he only fancies luxury cars and is

very low–key in other aspects. He doesn’t have extravagant pursuits, so it’ll be extremely easy for him

to blend into your life,” Grandma May noted.

Liberty responded after some thought, “Grandma May, I’ve experienced a failed marriage. Hank and I

knew each other for over a decade, were in love for a few years, and married for more than three

years. Even so, we ended in a divorce. I no longer look forward to marriage and love.

“I don’t need to marry again, and I don’t need a man to rely on. My life is pretty good now. In addition to

earning money, my biggest wish is for Sonny to be successful. Marriage doesn’t necessarily bring

happiness to a woman. Most of the time, it is painful and exhausting.

“A woman is often the one who makes sacrifices in a marriage. I quit my job back then to care for our

baby at home–give birth and take care of our child. I became a full–time housewife, but what did I get?

I was disconnected from society and lived my life around my husband and child. I didn’t have the time

or mood to look presentable.

“Just like that, I accidentally became a plain–old housewife. I gave so much but they meant nothing to

others. I was blamed for not coaxing our child when he cried, and I was condemned for not taking good

care of him when he was sick. I was criticized for not raising our child well although I was always at

home.

“When I spent money, I only spent on our small family, for my husband and my child, I was reluctant to

spend money on myself. I was scolded by my husband when I occasionally bought new clothes for

myself. He questioned my need for new clothes since didn’t have to socialize.

“Whenever I asked for some allowance, I was asked to spend less. I was accused of buying too many

things, which he thought must be where the money was all spent on. It was as if I was greedy for

money.

All in all, I always had to face my husband’s criticisms.

“He knew I had no income but asked me to split everything evenly. I sacrificed so much for our love,

our marriage, and our family, but I was asked to pay for half of everything as though I took advantage

of him. He wanted me to go out to work and make money, but he also wanted me to continue to be a

free nanny. at home.”

Liberty summed up her failed marriage and asked, “Grandma May, if you were me, would you still

believe in marriage and love? Such a thing can happen in the first marriage, let alone the second

marriage.

“I don’t want to remarry–I won’t consider getting married at least in these few years. Grandma May, if

Mr. Lewis doesn’t give up, I’d like you to help introduce me to a man who can act with me so that Mr.

Lewis can give up on the idea.”

Grandma May said, “A woman does give a lot in an ordinary marriage. It’s fine if the husband

understands, but it’ll be disappointing if he doesn’t. Perhaps this is why many women don’t want to get.

married.

“There’s no rush now. You can give Duncan a chance first. If you can’t accept him after all that he does.

and want him to give up, I’ll arrange for someone to act with you. I just feel that Duncan and Hank are

different.”

Liberty laughed at herself and replied, “I’m traumatized after what happened. Mr. Lewis is great now

but… Who knows? Hank used to be great as well. I never imagined us to be divorced.”

Things also became ugly before the divorce.

Hank became wild and cheated on Liberty with Jessica after he was slightly successful in his career

and earned some money.

Duncan was richer than Hank and came from a wealthy family. Liberty could not believe that Duncan’s

feelings for her would never change.
