“You don’t need to thank me. My primary concern is for Zachary and his wife,” Duncan said candidly, seemingly worried that Liberty might misunderstand his intentions.
“You visited them, so how are they doing now?” Duncan inquired, showing genuine concern.
Liberty sighed before responding, “You and Zachary have known each other for a long time, haven’t you? It’s clear that you two are good friends, not just business associates. Mr. Lewis, even you are siding with Zachary to mislead us p>
“You know Zachary’s temperament better than I do. He stubbornly believes that everything will be fine as long as he keeps Seren with him. He won’t even let her step outside his villa. I’ve noticed he seems quite exhausted, while Seren appears a bit disheartened p>
Duncan opened his mouth, wanting to defend his good friend, but he struggled to find the right words. He had praised Zachary so many times that he felt thirsty and drank quite a bit of water at Liberty’s place.
“Zachary needs to come to terms with this situation; otherwise, we won’t be able to help them break the ice p>
Thinking of Zachary’s bad temper, Duncan couldn’t help but sigh. “Give him a few days. He’ll come around. Forcing Serenity to stay with him will only damage their relationship further p>
Even Duncan, who didn’t fully understand love, was able to see this. Why was Zachary still oblivious to it?
After glancing at the time, Duncan said to Liberty, “Liberty, I’ll take my leave now. If you need my assistance in the future, feel free to call me p>
“Let me see you off, Mr. Lewis p>
Duncan accepted Liberty’s offer without hesitation.
Carrying her son, Liberty accompanied Duncan downstairs.
“Sonny, Dunc is leaving,” she said.
Duncan chuckled as he got into the car, which drove away shortly afterward. It was only after Duncan’s vehicle disappeared from view that Liberty turned around and headed back, cradling her son in her arms.
“Liberty p>
A familiar voice called out, and Liberty recognized Hank’s voice without needing to look back. She halted in her tracks and walked into the apartment building without glancing over her shoulder.
“Liberty p>
Hank shouted her name again, this time with a tone of anger. Perhaps he was upset by Liberty’s indifference towards him or perhaps seeing her bid farewell to Duncan from a distance had fueled his rage.
Hank rushed over and blocked Liberty and her son from entering the building. As he approached, Liberty caught a strong whiff of alcohol. She frowned and, holding her son, stepped back, saying with disdain, “Hank, how much have you had to drink? You reek. Keep your distance from me; I don’t want that smell near Sonny p>
Hank glared at Liberty. He must have consumed a lot of alcohol, especially since he had attended a social event. Lately, his life had been difficult, and his career was not going well. After returning home, he had been nagged and criticized by both his mother and sister.
They complained about how Jessica was far from kind or understanding.
Today was Valentine’s Day, and he had just married Jessica. Although he hadn’t received any well-wishes from his family, he felt fortunate to have given his true love a legitimate status. He was determined not to let Jessica down.
