Chapter 1479
Married at First Sight
It was only the mother and son when they entered the CEOâs elevator, so Mrs. Lewis spoke impolitely.
She snapped, âYou donât have to marry Lily. Iâll find you another lady whoâs a good match for you. In short, you can only marry a noble lady. You canât marry Liberty!
âIâm serious, Duncan. Iâm not joking. Untess hell freezes over, Iâll never agree to you being with Liberty.â
Duncan did not get angry at his motherâs stubbornness and said, âMom, did you come here just to say all that to me again? I think thereâs no need for us to talk about this.
âYou donât have to care about my business or my marriage. If you want me to give up on Liberty, bring Granny back to life. If Granny also doesnât approve of me being with Liberty, then Iâll give up on her.â
Mrs. Lewis was so angry that she yelled, âYour granny passed away many years ago. If she could come back from the dead, she would definitely scold your ear off. In fact, your granny might actually rise from her grave if you get together with Liberty.â
âThatâs all the more reason I should be with Liberty. I miss Granny. Granny doted on me the most since I was a child. No matter what I do, Granny will support me as long as Iâm happy. She said that the most important thing is for a person to live life with a clear conscience free of regrets.â
Old Mrs. Lewis did love her youngest grandson, Duncan, the most when she was alive.
Mrs. Lewis gave birth to four sons. She had too many sons, so she did not spare as much energy for her youngest son.
She did not care for Duncan enough.
âYouâre just spoiled by your granny!â Mrs. Lewis scolded him.
âYou went to visit Liberty in the hospital today. Why didnât you dare let her know?
âDuncan, you know very well that Liberty doesnât like you. She only thinks of you as her landlord, as a friend. Her exâhusband is still pestering her too. Theyâve known each other for more than a decade and have a son together. Maybe theyâll remarry in order to give their son a complete family.â
Duncan was silent.
He went to see Liberty at noon but did not go in because Liberty was eating. He did not want to bother the mother and son.
However, it was also because he felt that Liberty would become suspicious if he visited her too often.
Zachary advised him not to confess too soon, saying that he should wait for Libertyâs career to stabilize before courting her. That way, his chances of success would be higher.
Mrs. Lewis was still nagging her son when they returned to Duncanâs office. She tried her best topersuade him to give up on Liberty.
After all, the two were not together yet. It was just her sonâs unrequited feelings. Mrs. Lewis felt that it would be easy getting his son to give up on Liberty now.
Duncan did not care about what his mother was saying. He felt that he had made his point very clearly.
He busied himself with paperwork as his mother nagged him.
Beep, beep-
He received a new message from his phone.
Duncan picked up his phone and tapped on the message to see it. It was from Josh.
[Duncan, letâs have dinner together. Call a driver. Weâre all drinking tonight to celebrate the end of my bachelorhood.]
Duncan replied to his friend, [Congratulations! Do you want to arrange for anything else besides dinner and drinks? For example, going to a nightclub?]
Josh immediately replied, [I have a wife now. Thereâs no need to go to a nightclub. As for you, youâre still single. Itâs not a bad idea for you to hang out there. Iâm warning you, donât try to get me into trouble.
Iâll punch you if you let my wife misunderstand me.]
Duncan laughed. [I was just messing with you. Okay, letâs have dinner together. We wonât go home till weâre drunk. Ugh, out of us three, Iâm the only one still single.]
