Chapter 1267
Married at First Sight
âMrs. Lewis.â
After Liberty glanced at the picture, she handed it back to Mrs. Lewis.
After taking the photo, Mrs. Lewis asked Liberty with a warm smile, âLiberty, what do you think of this girl?â
She made a point of observing Libertyâs expression to see how she would respond.
Liberty gave her opinion candidly, âShe looks beautiful and inspires a lot of confidence. Iâd say sheâs a very capable and independent woman, very trustworthy.â
Mrs. Lewis noted the calm demeanor in which Liberty answered and said, âYouâre very good at reading people, arenât you? I would agree that Lily here is an independent woman. After graduating from university, she joined her familyâs company and started from the foundation, keeping her identity a secret the entire time.
âShe climbed the ranks and is now the vice president of the company. It was only after she had been promoted to the top rung of the company that people found out that she was the chairmanâs daughter and the younger sister of the president. She is a true prodigy and a daughter of a good friend of mine.â
After giving a brief introduction of Lily, Mrs. Lewis asked nonchalantly, âIâm planning to match her with my son, Duncan. Tell me, Liberty, do you think those two make a good pair?â
Liberty continued speaking her mind rather frankly, âBased on their respective background, it does sound like they would make a good match. I think itâs a good idea since they could collaborate in the workplace. As for looks, even though Duncan has had that accident, it should be fine once he has his scar fixed. He would look good next to Lily.â
âI think he would like Lily as well.â
Duncan had built up everything he had singleâhandedly. He would appreciate a selfâmade and independent woman. Based on Mrs. Lewisâs descriptions, it seemed to Liberty that Duncan would like this girl named Lily.
She thought it was rather intriguing that Mrs. Lewis was trying to match Duncan with the lady.
Mrs. Lewis noticed that Liberty had expressed her opinion with sincerity and made no attempts to conceal her thoughts. She was very natural the entire way through and it would appear that she had spoken her mind.
With that, she concluded that Liberty was not interested in Duncan!
Mrs. Lewis had a rather low opinion of Liberty and refused to ever consider the prospect of her son being together with Liberty. She maintained this opinion even though she had been steadily losing weight and regaining her previous charms. On top of that, she was building her business and was on track for success.
If she kept this up, she was going to start raking in profit and come out a successful businesswoman.
Even so, Mrs. Lewis did not respect Libertyâs ungainly background. She was a divorced woman.
burdened with a childâsomeone like her was not worthy of her son.
Nevertheless, she found it hard to acknowledge that Liberty had not developed feelings for her son, not even in the slightest.
She thought about Libertyâs failed marriage. It had only been several months since her divorce and her situation seemed like it was trending upward at last. With this provided context, it would make perfect sense that another relationship was the last thing on Libertyâs mind and that she had better things to pursue at the moment.
She came here intending to give Liberty a hard time, but her attempt ended up being not very fruitful.
She found herself somewhat at a loss.
âI do think they make a good match as well, the problem is Duncan is always telling me how heâs too busy with work and doesnât seem very receptive to my suggestion of him spending time with. Lily. Itâs very troubling for me. Heâs already thirtyâsix, so he canât be said to be young and springy anymore.
How am I, as his parent, not supposed to worry about his future?â Mrs. Lewis expressed with an exasperated sigh.
Liberty conveyed her sympathy and advised, âMrs. Lewis, thereâs no way to rush these matters, and itâs even worse to try to force it. For now, let Lily spend more time with Mr. Lewis and develop their relationship naturally. Things will progress faster eventually.â
Mrs. Lewis spoke suddenly, âLilyâs family name is Harmon, sheâs not from Wiltspoon but she came here to survey the market and get some investments underway. Their family is trying to expand their business by starting some smallâscale businesses.
âI do think there are many opportunities for those two to see each other going forward, especially since Lily has several projects sheâs interested in and plans to work with Duncan. I donât know how things are progressing and frankly, Iâm not concerned about the business side of things. I just hope Duncan spends more time with her.â
