Chapter 1665

Sonny asked in confusion, “Why do we have to move, Mom?”

He had lived there for half a year with his mom and had gotten used to it.

Liberty lied. She said, “You’ll start preschool in September. Your preschool is quite far from here. We can move to a place closer to it so it’s convenient for me to send you to school.”

What opinions could a three–year–old child possibly have?

With Liberty’s explanation, Sonny nodded his head.

Therefore, she called a real estate agent, told the agent her requirements for renting a place, and asked for recommendations.

She was not in a rush to buy a house. She could look around and only decide after finding a suitable place.

Moreover, her priority was to pay for her son’s education.

Sonny was enrolled in Wiltspoon’s best preschool. The annual school fee was about a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand dollars. She had gotten some money from Hank when they got divorced.

She used a portion of that money and invested in All You Can Eat. Although the diner’s business was great, and she earned from it, she had also bought a car. After deducting the funds used to buy the car, the earnings of All You Can Eat were not enough to break even.

She would be able to break even and make a profit after working tirelessly for another month.

Liberty wanted to wait until her son started attending elementary school. She would consider buying a house only after she confirmed which school her son would attend.

It would be ideal to purchase a house situated between elementary and junior high schools due to its convenience.

While Liberty was getting a real estate agent to look for a house, Duncan had just exited the apartment building when he saw his mother getting out of the car.

He was relieved that he nailed the time for his mom’s arrival. He could stop his mother and not let her appear before Liberty.

“Duncan.”

Mrs. Lewis walked over and pulled Duncan’s arm.

“Come. Follow me.”

“To where?”

Mrs. Lewis tugged at her son and said, “I talked to Fran on the way here. She knows a suitable girl whom she can recommend to you. Go for the blind date now.”

Duncan flung his mother’s hand away.

He stopped and said seriously, “How many times do I have to repeat myself, Mom? I’ll be in charge of my marriage. I don’t need you or Dad meddling in this.”

“Duncan, let me tell you this too. I’m a person of my word. I’ll never allow you to be with Liberty unless the sun rises from the west. Look at the many things you’ve done. Was Liberty touched? No. She doesn’t like you!

“She’s probably annoyed with you pestering her so often. If it weren’t for your friendship with Zachary, she might not open the door for you and would even release a dog to bite. you.

“There are so many women out there. Why must you be so obsessed with her? I admit that Liberty is a nice lady, but she’s unsuitable for you.”

Duncan said in a low voice, “I like Liberty. It’s okay if she doesn’t accept me now. I’m willing to wait. I won’t give up as long as she hasn’t gotten married to someone else. Even if it’s a year, two, or ten–I can wait for her.”

Mrs. Lewis was exasperated.

“Ten years? You’ll be almost fifty by then!”

Duncan said nonchalantly, “I’m willing to wait even until my hair turns gray.”

“You… Are you really trying to make me die of anger to hold my funeral?”

Mrs. Lewis was utterly enraged by her son.

“Duncan, even if you successfully marry Liberty, I don’t like her as my daughter–in–law. Your life after marriage won’t be happy. I’ll be sure to nitpick and find fault with Liberty frequently. I’ll create all sorts of conflict and misunderstanding between you and Liberty too.

“That’s unless you break our mother–and–son relationship!”
