Chapter 1660
Married at First Sight
Duncan carried Sonny into the house and closed the door. With a grin, he asked the kid, âIâm a boss. I can choose not to go to work. Nobody can control me, and I donât have to worry that my salary will be cut.â
Sonny said, âOh. But Uncle Zak is a boss too. Why does he have to go to work every day?â
Duncan replied, âUncle Zakâs company is larger than mine. He has more things to handle, so he needs to work every day.â
Sonny was convinced.
Duncan put him down.
The kid had a lot of whys in his mind. If one was not quick enough to react, one would be stuck.
âLiberty.â
Duncan walked to Liberty with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He looked at her affectionately while handing the bouquet to her.
âMr. Lewis, I donât like flowers. Donât send them to me next time, okay?â Liberty said helplessly.
Although she had rejected Duncan numerous times, he continued to send her flowers.
When Duncan noticed that she did not accept the bouquet, he searched for a vase and put the bouquet in it. He said, âI think itâs not nice to come empty-handed, so I bought a bouquet of flowers. It didnât cost a lot. It was cheap. Donât feel pressured.â
âDunc, why did you buy flowers for my mom and not me? I love flowers,â said the little kid who was beside him.
âSonny.â
Liberty called her son.
Duncan said with a laugh, âItâs my bad. Iâll prepare a bouquet for you next time.â
Sonnyâs gaze switched between Duncan and Liberty. He was confused.
Sonny was told by his father that Duncan tried to snatch Liberty away from him.
If Liberty was snatched away by Duncan, Sonny would end up being a kid whom no one loved.
Sonny did not believe what his father said.
Given that Duncan treated him well, how would he snatch Liberty from him?
Duncan said he wanted to join Sonny and Liberty but did not mention snatching Liberty away and forbidding her from loving Sonny..
Hank even told Sonny that if Duncan came to look for Liberty, Sonny should call Hank so that Hank could come over to help protect Liberty.
Sonny was in a dilemma over whether he should call his father.
âMom, I want to talk to Aunt Ser on the phone.â
Sonny requested out of nowhere.
After making some ravioli, Liberty replied, âAunt Ser just sent you home, and you want to call her now?â
âI just want to talk to her on the phone.â
Liberty had no choice but to take out her phone and hand it to him. She said, âAunt Ser is busy. Donât speak to her for too long.â
After taking over the phone, Sonny carried it and hid in the room.
Duncan laughed and said, âSonny is getting weirder. He even hid in his room just to speak to Serenity.â
After washing his hands, Duncan came to help Liberty to make ravioli.
âMr. Lewis, I donât need your help. You can take a seat and drink some water.â
By the time Liberty wanted to stop Duncan from helping her, he had already started making ravioli. He said, âIâm not thirsty. I know youâve been making ravioli in the afternoon. Iâm done with my work, so I have spare time to come and help you make them so you wonât be exhausted.â
He might seem rough and burly, but he was good at making ravioli.
Since Duncan insisted on helping Liberty, she found it hard to drive him away.
She said, âMr. Lewis, Iâve made it clear that I donât consider getting married at the moment. I have no interest in you as well. If you always come over, I feel torn.â
Mrs. Lewis knew that Duncan had always come looking for Liberty, so she made Liberty cancel the tenancy agreement of her diner, move out, and even leave Wiltspoon.
âLiberty, Iâm not expecting you to accept me right now. I wonât force you. I just want to visit you. You donât have to feel pressured. If you like me, you can accept me. If you donât, we can be friends forever.
âYou can ignore what my mom said. She canât decide on my life. You donât have to move out or leave Wiltspoon.â
