After Duncan scared Jessica away, he looked at the closed door and pulled out his phone to call Liberty.

It did not take long for Liberty to accept the call.

“Why aren’t you open today, Liberty?”

Duncan came off a bit harsh.

“Seren and I are off to take care of some stuff in our hometown. I’m closed for the day to resolve the ownership issue with our parents’ home today. What’s the matter?”

Duncan asked, “Oh. Is it going to be resolved today? Do you need to go to court?”

He could give a hand if Liberty wanted to take the Hunt family to court.

“We’re settling it out of court. I got to go, Mr. Lewis. Talk soon.”

“Sure.”

Duncan hung up the call.

Why did he not receive any news about Liberty’s home issue being resolved? She did not tell him anything.

Come to think of it, why would she tell him?

He was not anybody to her. She had no obligation to talk to him about her personal matters.

With that in mind, Duncan felt a lot better.

Some women just don’t know how to accept rejection and it be their fault for being hurt, when the other person hasn’t promised you anything.

    For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out. “I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.” Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually have breakfast there?” She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good? Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator. “Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need to get to a meeting in a minute.” “I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your meeting?” “Nine o’clock.” Lily looked at the time. Ten more

    Lily knew Duncan would say that. She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.” Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships. Lewis and Co. was now a well-known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOs while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team. He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going. With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly. However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events. “Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked. Lily replied,

    Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered. Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house. “Mrs. Lewis.” Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers. Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast. The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter. Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa. “Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?” “Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you had a new chef. He thought well of my cooking.” Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter-in-law. “You should deliver Duncan packed breakfas

    Lily carried on talking. “You told me about this. Serenity and Liberty are sisters. Serenity lost her parents at the age of ten, and it was her sister who raised her. Her sister taught her everything she knew. Serenity’s character is the reflection of Liberty’s. “I believe Liberty isn’t that kind of woman. Maybe she’ll become my rival in love, but it won’t be her intention. The problem lies with Duncan.” Lily was not a sheltered princess. She held a high position at Harmon Corporation and was well-traveled. Her perspective of the world was likely broader than Mrs. Lewis’s. “But now that I know about this, it should be enough warning to keep me on my toes.” Lily was lost in her thoughts. She should pull Duncan to her corner before sparks started to ignite between Duncan and Liberty. That way, Duncan would be hers. If… She were to lose to Liberty… Lily stopped her thoughts from wandering further. She refused to imagine a potential loss. She was way superior to Liberty in

    Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt needed to be there for the ownership transfer formalities too. Once the procedure was done, and Liberty’s name was on the title deed, Liberty and Serenity then paid the old folks for their share of the property. Serenity wanted to leave her part of the inheritance to Liberty as Liberty was the eldest daughter. Serenity had taken into consideration that her sister had it rougher in life. However, Serenity had not told her sister about it. Now all that was done and out of the way, the mayor said to the sisters, “Liberty, Serenity, are you renting your farmland out? We have someone who wants to contract our fields. I had a meeting with the rest of the townspeople. Everybody is on board. “You’ll get the rent from the contracted fields, and the money will depend on the square footage of your land. The rate per acre will be the same across all. You can leave your number with me if you’re interested. I’ll transfer you the money when we sign the contract and rec

    “Alright, that’s decided then. I enjoy seeing you drunk. You’ll be all over me!” Zachary kept his voice down at the end. Serenity was lost for words. The callous man had changed a lot. He could be such a flirt over the phone. “Are things going well? Did they kick up a fuss?” The extremes Old Mrs. Hunt would go to had not been forgotten. Zachary was worried Old Mrs. Hunt would cause a scene. Still, there was no cause for concern as Zachary assigned bodyguards to protect Serenity, She brought lawyers, and she could fight. “It’s going well. My granddad must have told my grandmom what his sons and grandson said. My grandmom did not act up this time. She was cooperative. I got my maternal grandparents to come. They said they didn’t want my mom’s share and wanted us to have it.”“Okay.”Zachary had not met the Howdens.The Howdens were cruel for what they did back then. Nevertheless, that fact could be overlooked since they raised Lisa. “My maternal grandparents apologiz

    “Liberty, I’ll go to Zachary’s office and wait for him to get off work.” Behind the wheel, Serenity told her sister and turned to ask her nephew, “Do you want to come with me to pick your uncle up, Sonny?” Before Sonny could answer, Liberty replied, “Zachary will think of him as a third wheel if you take him.” Sonny’s mind immediately flew to his Uncle Zack’s comment about him. Shaking his head, Sonny responded, “I don’t want to be a third wheel, Aunt Ser. I’m Sonny.” “Of course. Sonny is Sonny. Sonny is not a third wheel. Don’t take your uncle’s words to heart.” Liberty jumped in with a smile, “Just drop us at our rental place. I’m taking him to shop for ingredients for tomorrow.” “Alright then.” Serenity did not insist. She drove her sister and nephew back to their rental apartment and watched them take the elevator upstairs before driving away. Once at York Corporation, she ran into Camryn. Camryn came alone to York Corporation. Supported by her white cane, Camry

    Camryn quietly listened to what Serenity said. She had a very good memory, so she remembered everything after Serenity said it once.“Ms. Camryn, can you remember the route I told you about?” Serenity asked with concern.Camryn replied warmly, “Thank you, Mrs. York. I can remember it.”“Then, I’ll get going now.”Serenity had to go up to the top floor to find Zachary. She would be taking a different elevator.“Okay. I’ll walk slowly. Mr. Callum said I have to walk by myself and can’t let anyone lead me.” Serenity felt that her brother-in-law was courting death by causing trouble for Camryn.Camryn thought the same.She did not know when she had offended Callum.Callum wanted to make things difficult for her, so he threw a bait to lure her.The business of her flower shop had been average lately. Except for that one day when someone came to her store to buy all the roses, there were usually not many people who bought flowers.When Callum suggested that he would recommend the M

    “She lost the child when she fell on her own. That was our family’s flesh and blood, too!”Since Sonny did not live with the Browns, and despite her many objections, Olivia did not voice her criticisms toward Jessica when she was pregnant, out of consideration that Jessica was carrying the Brown family’s child.It was Jessica’s bad luck that she fell and lost the child, which made Olivia lose a grandson. If she had just one more grandson, she would not be waiting so eagerly for Sonny to return. It was all karmic retribution! “Mom, that's all in the past. I'm doing fine now. If the child wasn't meant to be, then it wasn't meant to be. They just didn't want to come into our lives. Anyway, Jessica is still my wife. I should go and see her. If I hadn’t corrupted her, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. It’s my fault, I ruined her.”When Jessica first became his secretary, she was still innocent and never thought of seducing him. It was he who fell for Jessica, and it was also he wh

    Unfortunately, their regret and realization came too late. “I heard from Sonny that you and Mr. Lewis are getting married soon. When will the marriage be?”Olivia tried to make herself sound calmer. “We’ll be heading to the City Hall to complete the procedures later.”Olivia went silent. After some time, she said, “Oh, today? Congratulations, Liberty. I wish you both a happy marriage.”“Thank you.”Olivia initially had a lot of things to say. However, upon discovering Liberty and Duncan were getting their marriage license that day, the words got stuck in her throat. Saying anything was meaningless.Soon, Olivia hung up. Once the call ended, Luke, who had been sitting beside his wife, asked, “How did it go? Did Liberty agree to Sonny staying with us for a few days?”Olivia was still stunned and did not immediately reply to her husband’s question. At that moment, Hank came out of his room in his pajamas. When he saw his parents sitting on the sofa, he yawned and asked, “Wha

    Serenity asked, “Duncan has no comments about it, right?”“No. He said that Hank would always be Sonny’s biological father. Sonny’s surname won’t be changed to Lewis as well. He’ll remain a Brown. That’s part of Hank’s and my divorce agreement.”Since Liberty had signed the agreement, she would keep her promise. No matter Sonny’s surname, the fact that he was a member of the Brown family would not change. If so, there was no point in changing his surname. “Duncan is so easygoing.”At that moment, Liberty’s phone rang.It was Olivia. When Liberty recognized her voice through the phone, she whispered to Serenity, “Speak of the devil. Olivia is calling me.”“What did you say, Liberty?”Olivia heard Liberty whispering but could not hear her clearly. She asked Liberty to repeat herself.“I was talking to my sister, Olivia. Why did you call?”It was still early in the morning. “You’re back from Jensburg, right, Liberty?”“Yes.”“That was what I heard. Look. The year is almo

    “He doesn’t even want kids and said having Sonny was enough.”Duncan did not care about blood relations. Liberty believed him. He only cared about her. If Liberty had not had to manage the Fisher family, she probably would have taken more time to consider whether she wanted a second child. However, Duncan's love for her ran deep. She decided to try for another child so that he could have a child of his own. Liberty did not want to be selfish. She could not prioritize only herself and Sonny. She had to be considerate of Duncan as well. “By the way, there’s something that I need your help with.”Serenity said, “Oh you, don’t sound like a stranger. We’re sisters. I’m ready to help with whatever you need.”“I have to go to Jensburg next year. I think I’ll leave Sonny here in Wiltspoon for his studies. I’ll ask for Sonny’s opinion again once my situation in Jensburg is stable. If he wants to move to Jensburg to live with me, I'll bring him over.“If he says no, I’ll need y

    “Morning, Liberty. The housekeeper said you weren’t out yet, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”Serenity stood and smiled when she saw Liberty enter. “I woke up when you arrived.”Liberty whispered, “Sonny is still asleep. Let’s go downstairs. You can accompany me on a walk outside too.”“What time are you and Duncan meeting?”Serenity was worried that Liberty would be late. Liberty said, “We still have to wait until the City Hall opens. Duncan and I agreed to meet at nine. It’s still early.”The three adults exited the child’s bedroom and went downstairs. Zachary remained in the house while Liberty and Serenity went on a stroll in the garden. Liberty’s villa initially belonged to Zachary. Although he sold it to Liberty, it was also considered a gift. She was the one who insisted on paying and refused to accept it as a gift. Therefore, Zachary accepted some money from her so that she would take it. The villas Zachary owned were never small. They usually came with garden

    “As expected of a child’s skin. It’s so smooth,” said Serenity. “Catch me if you can, Isaac…”Sonny spoke in his sleep and even giggled. He dreamt of him and Isaac playing tag. When Isaac started running after him, he quickly turned to escape while laughing. He did not realize that he was dreaming. “I have two dads, Isaac…”Sonny spoke again.Serenity laughed and told Zachary, “Sonny must’ve had a blast yesterday. Even his sleep talking is related to playing.”She pinched Sonny’s face lightly. “You do have two dads, Sonny. They love you a lot, so you have double the love.”Serenity spoke gently, regardless of whether he could hear her. She bent over and left a soft kiss on his cheek. “That’s why you must be happy. I wish you a carefree life ahead.”She hoped he would grow up healthily and be worry-free. Sonny was in a deep sleep and did not reply to her. Liberty watched them from the door with an affectionate gaze. She felt content. Zachary and Serenity had a st

    The night went by peacefully. The next morning, Liberty could hear her gates opening when she stirred in her bed. Soon, she heard her housekeeper talking. “You’re early, Mrs. York.”“Mm. My sister is getting married today. I couldn’t go back to sleep after I woke up, so I decided to come over.”While Serenity could not help Liberty and Zachary out with anything, she was excited to the point she could not sleep. It took Zachary a lot of effort to persuade her to sleep. However, she woke up at dawn after having a dream about her parents. She could not go back to sleep afterward and insisted on going to her sister’s place. Zachary thought he could sleep in since he was on break, but his wife just could not fall asleep. There was no helping it. The doting husband accompanied his wife to her sister’s house early in the morning. The housekeeper smiled. “Ms. Hunt isn’t awake yet.”“It’s okay. I won’t wake my sister.”Serenity finally felt at ease when she was at Liberty’s ho

    After a pause, she said, “Let’s meet at nine in the morning. Seren and Zachary will come over to my place. They’ll be looking after Sonny for me. I’ll head out after they arrive. You can wait for me at the City Hall’s entrance.”“No. I want to go to the City Hall with you.”Duncan did not want to wait for her at the City Hall. He wanted to go together.“Bring Sonny along.“We’ll be a family of three from tomorrow onward. We should bring him along.”He would officially become Sonny’s father tomorrow. It did not matter that he was a stepfather. It was Duncan’s first time adoring a child that much, and he did not expect that he would later become that child’s father.After giving it some thought, Liberty said, “Okay. Let’s take Sonny with us.“By the way, Sonny won’t change his surname after we get married. That was Hank’s condition when we got divorced. Since I promised him, I’ll keep to my word.”Sonny would still be the grandson of the Browns. He would not become a Lewis.

    Although Sonny was backed by a few wealthy families and would be well-supported even if he was incompetent, they still hoped he would turn out to be an outstanding individual. That way, he could be independent and achieve his goals without much help. Duncan had not thought about Sonny’s education plan. However, he knew Liberty had high hopes for Sonny. Even Serenity had never neglected Sonny’s nurturing. Despite only being in preschool, Sonny had started various hobby classes. It was to build a solid foundation and develop his interest in certain hobbies while still young. The only time he could fully enjoy playing was during winter and summer vacations. Liberty and Serenity had similar philosophies when it came to children’s education. They believed children had to study hard and play hard. Liberty nodded and said, “Sonny can have all the fun he wants when he’s young. Once the situation in Jensburg is stable, he’ll have to study and live there.“I wonder if he’ll be willing
