Julian said nothing as Audrey and Elisa spoke.When the mother and daughter stopped discussing who would take care of the Fisher family, he once again got up and said goodbye. “I won’t bother everyone anymore. I’ll take my leave now. I’ll invite everyone to dinner some other day when I’m free.”The Stone family did not stop him from leaving again. Audrey told her son to see Julian out.Clive got up and sent Julian off.Julian did not stop him.After leaving the house, Clive asked Julian, “Mr. Bucham, you’re not interested in my sister in that way. How long are you planning to act? Who told you to act?”Clive wanted to know who was capable enough to make Julian act.“I can’t say, and I don’t want to say. It’s embarrassing.”Clive was speechless.Julian lost a bet with Andrew and had to help Andrew unconditionally.Andrew’s condition was that before Remy and Elisa got engaged, Julian had to commit and “pursue” Elisa.Audrey disliked that Remy’s home was far away.However, Jul
His carefree days were shattered by Grandma May. A master psychic, was it? If he was that amazing, why did he not divine the winning lottery numbers every day? He would be rich if he did.Julian left.Clive stood at the gate of his house and watched Julian leave. After a long time, he returned to the house....After lunch, Liberty and Duncan chatted for a while longer before she left the hotel with Sonny and headed to Wildridge Manor.Along the way, she received several calls.They were all from the elders of the York family, asking her when she would send Sonny over. They all missed Sonny.Liberty responded that she was on the way, and finally managed to stop the elders from urging her on the phone.It was inconvenient for Duncan to move around now, and he did not want to affect everyone’s good mood for the weekend, so he did not follow her to Wildridge Manor.He sat for an hour before telling his bodyguard to send him back to Westwood Manor.Before he entered the house, he
Duncan heard his mother’s words and thought that she was complaining about Liberty.Then, he heard Lily say, “Feelings can’t be forced. Duncan doesn’t like me, so we’re just not meant to be. You also said that it’s fate. Even if we got together, there’s no guarantee that he wouldn’t have gotten into an accident.“Now, Duncan came around and learned to accept reality, so you can’t say such things in front of him. He’ll think that you’re blaming Liberty. Liberty has remained passive from the beginning till now. She also often encouraged Duncan when she was taking care of him for a while. However, she doesn’t look at him in that way.”Corey sighed again. “Yes, we can all see that she hasn’t fallen in love with Duncan. It’s not that she disdains his inability to walk, but that she has never thought about remarriage in the first place. Her last marriage did her too much harm.“I’m not blaming Liberty. I know that she’s innocent. I was just lamenting what happened. Don’t worry, I won’t l
“Okay.”Corey personally sent Lily out of the house.She stood at the door and watched Lily leave. Lily was such a great girl, but she was not meant to be with Duncan.The fate between people was really strange.Liberty was definitely not as good as Lily, but Duncan did not like Lily. He only liked Liberty.A few moments later, Corey went back into the house.She saw her son slowly stand up and move a step to sit on the sofa without the bodyguard holding him.Corey was very excited. Her son was able to stand by himself and take a step forward!The bodyguard pushed the wheelchair away and parked it to the side, then silently went out.“Duncan.”Corey walked over quickly and sat next to her son. Her concerned faze fell on his legs. When she saw his legs shaking, her heart broke again, and she reached out to gently touch his calf.“Does it still hurt a lot?”Duncan hummed. “It’s not as painful as the first time I stood up on my own. Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll get better slowly.”
Corey responded, “It’s good that he woke up. That way, Sonny will still have a father. It’d be a pity if he lost his father at such a young age.”Duncan said, “Sonny isn’t close to his father. Hank used to toss him to Liberty and Serenity to raise. He did nothing himself and only teased the child when he felt like it. He even often made Sonny cry.“His parents are the same. Their relationship with Sonny is superficial, and they’re not that sincere about him. Children are closer to their caretakers. Sonny is as close to Serenity as he is to his own mother, whereas he’s not close to his grandparents and his paternal aunt.“Fortunately, Liberty won custody of Sonny. Sonny following her is the best outcome.”Corey hummed.“Now, the Brown family is desperately trying to get closer to Sonny. Although it’s not too late, watching them makes me want to ridicule them a little.”In fact, Duncan quite disliked the Brown family.He did not like the Browns very much.In particular, he found
Serenity waited at the entrance of the manor since she knew her sister was arriving.Zachary naturally accompanied her.However, she yawned incessantly.Zachary said, “It was a long distance from downtown to here. I told you to take a nap since your sister would arrive just as you woke up from the nap, but you refused to listen. Now, you can’t stop yawning.”Serenity yawned again and said, “I’m afraid I won’t want to get up if I lie down. When the AC is on during weather like this, I’ll feel lazier and want to sleep more. The more I sleep, the more I want to stay in bed.”She could sleep the entire afternoon away if no one came to wake her up.“It’s probably because the season is changing. People often feel lazy during such times.”Zachary held her hand, pulled it up, and kissed the back of her palm. He looked up at her with eyes full of tenderness and asked, “Seren, it’ll be our wedding anniversary soon. What gift did you prepare for me?”Serenity withdrew her hand and pinched
Liberty stopped her car at the entrance of the manor.“Sonny, wake up. We’re at Aunt Seren’s house.”Liberty turned her head to call her son.The little boy went with the sandman after getting in the car and slept the entire journey.He slept so soundly that not even his mother’s calls could wake him up.Liberty got out of the car first.“Liberty.”Serenity’s smile was as bright as the sun. Zachary also came over to greet Liberty.“It’s so hot out. Why are you two standing here waiting for me? Hurry inside. I’ll drive the car in.”Zachary smiled and said, “Your sister started counting down the time when she heard that you were coming. She thought you were almost here, so she insisted on coming out to wait.”Liberty admonished her sister, “If you wanted to wait outside, why didn’t you at least bring an umbrella for shade?”“It’s fine. We sat at the security booth for a while. There’s air conditioning inside. When we saw that it was almost time, we came out just in time to see
Liberty hummed.She drove straight to the main building.Soon after she arrived, she saw Tania coming out from inside the house just as she parked the car.Tania walked down the steps to the front of the car and asked Liberty, “Is Sonny here?”Liberty said with a laugh, “How would I dare not bring Sonny after how much you urged me on the phone? He’s in the back, but he fell asleep.”“It’s fine if he’s asleep. It’s just in time for an afternoon nap. I also just woke up from my nap.”When Tania heard that Sonny was in the backseat, she was just about to open the door when she saw her son coming out of the car. She quickly reached out when she saw Zachary carrying Sonny. “Let me carry him. Be careful not to bump him into anything.”Zachary said in a low voice, “Aren’t you worried about me bumping into anything?”“You have thick skin, so it doesn’t matter if you bump into something. You’ll get a scrape at most.”Tania gently took Sonny from her son.Then, she walked into the hous
