Married at First Sight Chapter 1696
Seeing the York brothers walking over, the Lewis family’s bodyguards’ heads hurt.“Mr. York.”The bodyguards bit the bullet and stepped forward to stop Zachary and the others from advancing. One of them said apologetically, “Mr. York, Mr. Duncan doesn’t want to meet you all. Please leave.”They did not want to be put in a difficult spot. Zachary said with a deep voice, “Is Duncan awake?”“He is, but he doesn’t have an appetite and refuses breakfast. Whether the food was delivered from home or Ms. Liberty, he wouldn’t eat it. He even knocked over the breakfast Ms. Liberty brought.“Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are inside trying to persuade Mr. Duncan to eat something. He’s in a terrible mood now.”The bodyguards said all that in hopes that Zachary and the rest would leave and not put them in a difficult spot. Actually, they wished Mr. Duncan would meet his friends and stop lying on the bed and driving himself into a dead end. Unfortunately, Mr. Duncan would not listen to Mr. and Mrs.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1697
Mr. Lewis felt upset listening to his son yelling. Criticisms could no longer leave his mouth.Duncan was tall and massive. He looked like a rough man. After having lain in the hospital for over ten days, he had gotten thinner. People who were concerned about him would feel sad upon seeing his state. He could not stand and lacked the spirit and vigor he used to have. Even his gaze had lost its usual sparkle, replaced with despair. The doctor said that Duncan’s full recovery depended on whether he could reignite his confidence and persist in treating his legs and undergoing physiotherapy. It would be a long journey. There was a possibility that he would not make any progress even after time passed, and that could easily break someone’s spirits. “Darling, stop scolding Duncan.”Mrs. Lewis persuaded her husband, “It’s my fault. I insisted on feeding him even though he said he wasn’t hungry.”She wanted to take all the blame. Duncan watched his mother and averted his gaz

Serenity supported Mrs. Lewis and brought her to sit on a chair nearby. “Duncan doesn’t want to meet anybody. If he doesn’t communicate, bottling his emotions and driving himself into a dead end, then how can he recover?” Mrs. Lewis wiped her tears. She apologized to the York brothers, “Zack, Callum, don’t blame Duncan. He refuses to see anyone now. He wouldn’t even meet his brothers when they came and stopped them from entering the ward.“His sisters-in-law would bring some nutritious stew over. While the stew could enter the ward, his sisters-in-law were not allowed. He thinks everyone he sees pities him. Even if it’s just a word of concern, he’ll think the same.”Mrs. Lewis’s tears were unstoppable. Her youngest son had always given her the impression that he was strong. She did not know what to do about his mental breakdown. The Lewis family’s elders had visited, but Duncan would not listen to anything. He even refused to meet his best friends, Zachary and Josh. He did no

After everyone comforted Mrs. Lewis and passed their gifts to the bodyguards to be brought into the ward, Zachary and the others had no choice but to leave the hospital. Mrs. Lewis saw everyone off to the elevator. She only left after watching them enter. When she returned to the ward, she stood at the door momentarily before going inside. Duncan was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. No one knew what he was thinking. “Has Zachary and the rest left?” Mr. Lewis asked softly.“They can only leave because Duncan doesn’t want to meet them.”Mrs. Lewis sighed. She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at her son. After some time, she said gently, “Duncan, everyone is here to see you because they’re concerned about you and not pitying you. Stop overthinking, okay?”Duncan closed his eyes. Obviously, he did not want to listen to his mother talking. Mrs. Lewis’s heart ached. After Duncan’s grandmother had passed away, her son’s life went back on

“Mrs. Lewis.”Upon seeing Mrs. Lewis entering, Liberty quickly stood up to greet her even though she had just sat down. Mrs. Lewis gave a lukewarm reply. When she saw no customers in the diner, she said gently, “Liberty, can I treat you to coffee at a nearby cafe?”Liberty smiled. “Okay.”She removed her apron. After storing it properly, she told her two employees, “You two can pack up first. I’m stepping out for a while. Please help me look after Sonny when Jim sends him back later.”Liberty was not planning to keep the diner open for the whole day. She wanted to take a look at a restaurant on Westring Avenue 2. The business was not great and it had been suffering losses every month. The boss was planning to sell the restaurant. The location of the restaurant was not bad with quite a number of people dining there. Was the business not doing well because of the boss’s incompetency in management or the chef’s substandard cooking skills?Liberty wanted to know more about the s

Mrs. Lewis continued, “Liberty, don’t take Duncan’s words to heart. He’s… Like a porcupine now, covered with sharp quills. He wouldn’t meet anyone who went to visit him. He said everyone came out of pity.”“Mrs. Lewis, I won’t blame Mr. Duncan.”Liberty withdrew her hand softly. She was not used to Mrs. Lewis holding her hand in such an intimate manner. “Liberty, I came to see you because I need your help.”Mrs. Lewis raised the subject. She watched Liberty with pleading eyes and said, “Liberty, we’re all sad because of Duncan’s state, but we’re unable to persuade him.“He loves you a lot. He doesn’t want to meet you lately because he feels inferior. He thinks he’s disabled and doesn’t wish to be a burden to you. That’s why he refuses to see you.”Liberty listened to Mrs. Lewis speak without saying a word. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lewis said, “Liberty, I would like you to take care of Duncan and help him to regain his confidence so he can persist in physiotherapy even

“Liberty, you shouldn’t think ten thousand dollars daily is too much. Duncan has a terrible temper now. He’ll throw tantrums frequently and toss things around. We can tolerate him because we’re his parents, and I was the one who caused him to be involved in the accident.“If it were other people, who would be willing to be on the receiving end of Duncan’s anger? Even if we offer a sky-high salary to hire a caregiver for him, no one’s willing to earn that money. He’s really difficult to take care of now.”Mrs. Lewis thought spending over three hundred thousand dollars a month to hire Liberty to care for Duncan was not expensive at all. She was willing to spend any amount of money as long as her son could get better. Three hundred thousand dollars was the price of one bag of hers. Some of her handbags were even worth more than that. Mrs. Lewis thought paying ten thousand dollars per day was not a lot, but Liberty thought it was too much. Her business was booming, but even the max

Going to Liberty was useless. The source of the problem was her son. Mrs. Lewis also did a series of extreme actions against her son. After that…What was left was only regret. Liberty said magnanimously, “I don’t remember the words you’ve said to me before, Mrs. Lewis. I understand you.“It’s better to have a marriage between people of equal social standing. I’m also a mother. If my son were to like a girl whose standards differ from his too much, I might find it hard to accept too.”She would consider herself an open-minded mother before it happened. However, if it were to happen, not many people could truly be open-minded in allowing their children to get married to whomever they wanted.The parents in the York family stood out because only a handful of people could do that. Liberty often told Serenity to cherish everything both of them had. Putting Zachary’s attitude aside, how many people could be as open-minded as the York family’s parents?Therefore, she was not a

“If Mom said she would create an opportunity for you to get with the king, would you really believe her? It’s just talk—nothing actually happened.” Trenton could not resist poking Carrie’s forehead a few times. “Carrie, can you please come back to earth? In your current state, forget about finding a great guy like Callum—even a regular, decent guy would be turned off by you.”Carrie swatted away her brother’s fingers, irritated and embarrassed. “Am I really that bad? I’m young, beautiful, have a great figure, and a dignified heiress. If the monarchy still existed, I could marry the king and be his queen without a problem.”“Carrie, you have sky-high ambitions, but be careful, don’t fly too close to the sun and end up like Icarus.”As soon as he said that, Trenton was met with a smack from his sister.“Is there a brother who curses his own sister like that? What do you mean by that? I’m destined to have the princess life. I’ll be fine.”However, deep down, she was still worried bec

Camryn was right—he was just too soft-hearted. If he were as ruthless as her, Carrie would have found a job long ago after running out of money.To encourage Carrie to become independent, Trenton decided that after Christmas, he would stop giving her living expenses. He would also tell their parents during his visit to prison that Carrie was truly hopeless.“Trenton, you keep siding with her, and one day you'll regret it. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has deceived who knows how many people. Do you really think she cares about you? She just wants to win your complete trust to take everything that belongs to you for herself. By driving us out of our home, she’s not only seeking revenge on Mom and Dad but also on us—especially you. She’s just pretending to be nice to you to sow discord between us siblings.”“Carrie!” Trenton said seriously, “Don’t talk about Camryn like that. She’s not that kind of person. I believe in her, one hundred percent.”Carrie was so furious she wanted

“Alright, alright, I can't win with the two of you against one,” Carrie sulked. “Give me money to spend. I'm out of money.”She reached out her hand toward Camryn, wanting her to give her money. Camryn slapped her hand away. “Even Trenton knows to take advantage of the winter break to find a part-time job and earn some pocket money. You’re perfectly capable, yet you don’t look for a job.“To put it bluntly, if you’ve gone to sweep the streets, you'd still have a source of income. I have money, but I won’t give it to you. Don’t think that just because we’re sisters—estranged, too, at that—I have an obligation to support my adult sister. I’ve said it before: if you want money to spend, earn it yourself.” With that, Camryn walked away to tend to her plants.As Christmas approached, the flower market was bustling. Every day, many people came to buy flowers, and all her employees were out delivering flowers to clients. Sometimes, when it got too busy, she even had to ask her two bodyguar

Trenton was relieved that Dalton was indebted to Camryn. That was why Dalton had been loyal to Newman Enterprise.If Newman Enterprise did not fall into Camryn’s hands, there was no doubt that Dalton would leave the company. If that happened, the company was doomed.When his parents went to prison, he was merely 18, and Carrie only knew how to spend money. Not only that, their relatives were hungry to get a share of the Newman family’s assets. He and Carrie could not have protected their family’s wealth alone.After Camryn regained her sight, she still could not strain her eyes for long hours. Therefore, Dalton remained in charge of the company.Luckily, they had Callum as well. Even if anything were to happen, Callum would not leave Newman Enterprise to fall because many of the Newman family’s assets belonged to Camryn.He would not let Camryn lose anything.“You’ve been brainwashed by Dalton after working with him. Our dad treated him well and trusted him, yet Dalton betrayed

Camryn said, “She’s just using her lack of money as an excuse to start a fight with me.“Do you really think she has no money?”Carrie had somehow become Mrs. Longbottom yet she was still hiding her identity. Camryn had not understood the entire situation yet.Nevertheless, she was certain that Carrie did not need money.After she spoke, a familiar car arrived.It was the car Carrie had always used in the past.When she returned to the Newman family’s villa after getting out of prison, she only drove that car. She could not take other cars. The cars were still parked in the garage. “Come out, Camryn.”Carrie had gotten out of the car and started shouting for Camryn.When the York family’s bodyguards saw her, they simply glanced at her and did not stop her from entering the store. They knew Camryn had always been lenient with her younger sister.Since Camryn did not give any orders to stop Carrie from entering, the bodyguards simply kept an eye on Carrie to ensure that sh

“I want to go to Spring Blossoms as Carrie,” she told the bodyguard who was driving. “Your sister’s people are keeping an eye on your apartment. She’ll get suspicious again if you head over in your outfit. Everything Mr. Longbottom arranged will go to waste,” the bodyguard reminded her.Carrie thought it over. “Okay. Let’s head home first. I’ll change my clothes and remove my makeup before heading over.”She would also check if her stand-in had damaged any of her stuff.If she did, Carrie would tell the stand-in to compensate her.The bodyguard remained silent.Once they arrived at Longbottom Villa, Carrie took off her hyper-realistic mask and removed her makeup. After changing her clothes, she returned to being Carrie and went out with her bag.Her two bodyguards did not stop her from leaving.She could do anything as long as it would not rouse Camryn and other people’s suspicions.Besides, Carrie had just gotten scolded by their boss on the phone. Although Mr. Longbottom

Mr. Longbottom thought he was not so inferior to men younger than him.More accurately, he was far superior. He had status, money, and power.Which of the younger men could be on par with him unless they came from a wealthy family?Many sons of wealthy families could not compete with him.“I can’t go over because I’m busy these days. But I do miss you too.“It’s more difficult because of the festive season. There are many events, and I have to accompany my family. My wife doesn't care about me, but her request is that I be with her during the holidays because we have to meet our friends and families. Do you understand?”Mr. Longbottom had a wife and children. Carrie knew about it. He had never hid that fact.Carrie did not know if he was close to his wife. Although he said they no longer had feelings for each other, Carrie dared not believe him because he had never let other women take his wife’s place.He also never allowed other women to become pregnant with his children.Mr

Carrie thought she had matured since she could figure out that much. In the past, she would not have understood a thing. Love was about accepting everything about someone. Most people could tolerate their partner’s shortcomings when they were deeply in love. However, without love, even a person’s strength would seem like a fault. Carrie smiled. “Mr. York is a workaholic. Serenity must’ve gotten the habit from him and turned into one herself. I can’t believe she’s working so hard even though she’s pregnant.”“She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Going to work is fine.”“Do you need anything else, Mrs. Longbottom?” Jasmine asked.“No. I shall take my leave now, Mrs. Bucham.”Jasmine was on guard and unwilling to reveal much about Serenity. Therefore, it would be better for Carrie to leave. She was not close to Serenity and her friends yet. “Bye, Mrs. Longbottom.”Jasmine saw Carrie out and watched as she got into her car.Once Carrie got far enough from the booksto

Mr. Longbottom had been surprised by her question. He told her coldly that she should refrain from asking unnecessary questions.One who knew too much would not live long. Carrie got intimidated and dared not ask another question. Although she got more curious, she did not try to gather more information for fear Mr. Longbottom would choke her again if he found out. “Nothing. I just asked because I haven’t seen her in a while.”Of course, Carrie could not reveal that she was looking for Serenity. Jasmine would get suspicious if she did. No one around Serenity was a fool. “Seren is busy with work. I rarely see her these days,” Jasmine said.Carrie knew it was a lie. She was aware that Serenity's closest friends did not trust her yet. It made her feel defeated. It had been months since Mr. Longbottom found her and asked her to approach Serenity. Despite her efforts, she still had not obtained Serenity’s trust, let alone become her friend.However, Jasmine and Serenity go
