Chapter 1564
Married at First Sight
Grandma May smiled and said, âI could tell since long ago. Duncan didnât admit to liking you back then.
He thought he liked Sonny instead and was only nice to you because youâre Sonnyâs mom. Perhaps he liked Sonny at first and had slowly come to like you later on.â
Liberty blushed and said, âGrandma May, I have no feelings for Mr. Lewis. He confessed to me, but !
politely rejected him.â
Grandma May asked, âIs it because of Mrs. Lewis? Sheâs not illânatured, but her idea of an appropriate. match in terms of social status is deeply ingrained in her. Honestly, itâs good for a married couple to be wellâmatched, so I donât blame her for being so persistent.â
âI also think that a married couple should be wellâmatched. Mr. Lewis and I are not, and Iâve never thought. of anything happening between us. Iâm only an ordinary tenant who rents his shop lot.â
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 inâlaws 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.
âIâll 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.
âHe can live the ordinary life you want with you. In terms of materials, he only fancies luxury cars and is very lowâkey in other aspects. He doesnât have extravagant pursuits, so itâll be extremely easy for him to blend into your life,â Grandma May noted.
Liberty responded after some thought, âGrandma May, Iâve 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.
âI donât need to marry again, and I donât 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 doesnât necessarily bring happiness to a woman. Most of the time, it is painful and exhausting.
âA woman is often the one who makes sacrifices in a marriage. I quit my job back then to care for our baby at homeâgive birth and take care of our child. I became a fullâtime housewife, but what did I get?
I was disconnected from society and lived my life around my husband and child. I didnât have the time or mood to look presentable.
âJust like that, I accidentally became a plainâold 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.
âWhen 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 didnât have to socialize.
âWhenever 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 husbandâs criticisms.
âHe 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.â
Liberty summed up her failed marriage and asked, âGrandma 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.
âI donât want to remarryâI wonât consider getting married at least in these few years. Grandma May, if Mr. Lewis doesnât give up, Iâd like you to help introduce me to a man who can act with me so that Mr.
Lewis can give up on the idea.â
Grandma May said, âA woman does give a lot in an ordinary marriage. Itâs fine if the husband understands, but itâll be disappointing if he doesnât. Perhaps this is why many women donât want to get.
married.
âThereâs no rush now. You can give Duncan a chance first. If you canât accept him after all that he does.
and want him to give up, Iâll arrange for someone to act with you. I just feel that Duncan and Hank are different.â
Liberty laughed at herself and replied, âIâm 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.â
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 Duncanâs feelings for her would never change.
