Chapter 1067
Married at First Sight
Liberty laughed. âSince youâre my first customer, your meal will be on the house. What would you like to eat, Mr. Lewis?â
Duncan said, âNo, Iâll pay. Itâs your opening day, so you have to earn money. You need to collect money no matter who comes to eat.â
Zachary echoed, âPaying for breakfast is pocket change for Duncan. Donât even think of giving him a discount and only charge him the price as per your menu.â
âIn that case, thank you for your support.â
In his heart, Zachary thought, âWhatâs there to thank? In the future, Duncan might sink his teeth into you and never let you go.â
Soon after Duncan entered, there was a stream of customers coming into the store for breakfast.
Liberty started getting busy.
A new store opening was most likely to attract people to come in and try their food.
Libertyâs store had been remodeling for a period of time. The people working in nearby buildings passing by every day were already long aware of All You Can Eat.
They felt that the name of the store was simple and sounded down-to-earth.
When they saw that it was open for business, they came in to try the new ownerâs skills.
At the age of fifteen, Liberty started raising her younger sister. Her cooking skills were honed for decades.
Those who came in to eat felt that the food of this diner was remarkably satisfying.
After the morning rush hour, Liberty finally had time to catch her breath.
Although it was tiring, she was absolutely happy.
Of course, if her ex-husband did not come in with his mother, Libertyâs smile would have remained until nighttime.
Hank came with a flower stand. When he saw that the only people in the store were Zachary, Serenity, and the middle-aged woman who often helped Liberty, he frowned. He proceeded to comment something unpleasant, âWhy are there no customers?â
Olivia looked at the flower stands at the entrance. They were from Zachary and Serenity, Jasmine, Elisa and her family, as well as from Duncan.
Her expression soured when she saw Duncanâs flower stands.
He sent over several stands, but her son only brought one. Olivia immediately compared her son to Duncan.
When she looked up and saw that her son had entered the store, she quickly followed.
She came in just in time to hear her sonâs unpleasant words and slapped his arm. âHank, shut your mouth if you donât know what to say.â
Then, she raised a bag containing a bottle of champagne she brought and handed it to Liberty with a smile. âCongratulations on your opening day, Liberty. I hope business is booming for you.â
Liberty took the congratulatory card from the bag, thanked her, and returned the bag with the champagne to Olivia.
âLiberty, this is a little token from me. Just accept it.â
âIâve accepted your thoughts.â
Liberty insisted on not accepting Oliviaâs champagne.
Olivia had no choice but to take back the bag. Then, she greeted Serenity and Zachary with a smile.
âSerenity, I havenât seen you for a while but youâre getting prettier by the day. Your temperament has also improved. I knew you were a blessed person.â
Serenity gave a dry laugh. She did not want to be bothered with Olivia.
In the past, Olivia and Chelsea often muttered about her behind her back.
âMr. York.â
Olivia acted obsequiously toward Zachary, wanting to please him.
Zacharyâs expression was deadpan as he remained silent. Olivia was so embarrassed that she did not dare say anything else.
Serenityâs husband was taciturn yet terrifying!
Hank finally realized what he said was displeasing. He handed the flower stand to Liberty and said, âI ordered these for you a few days in advance to congratulate you on the opening of your new store.â
Liberty glanced at the long rows of flower stands at the entrance of the store and said faintly, âThank you, Mr. Brown, but it seems thereâs no room for your flower stand at the entrance of the store.â
