Lily steered the wheel while remarking, “Which is why I said that the Hunt sisters have very goodcharacters. Considering how Liberty’s marriage had just fallen through, I doubt she would be looking fora new relationship so soon.
“The only thing she’s focused on now is starting her business and making money. Another marriagehas probably never even crossed her mind yet.”
People who had experienced a failed marriage tend to be more vigilant when it came to founding a newrelationship with another.
Since her mind was fixed on building a foundation for her business, romantic affairs should not concernher in the least. Mrs. Lewis stated, “If she dares to hatch any ideas about Duncan, I’ll be the onechasing her out of the shop lot first. Don’t even think about setting up her restaurant at our property. Itdoesn’t seem like she’s up to anything now but I still feel strangely suspicious about her, likesomething’s going to happen between her and Duncan later on.”
“You can deal with it when it happens, too much precaution can be a bad thing sometimes. Besides,you have to factor in that she’s not all alone. Her sister is the lady of the York household so Liberty hasthe entire York family backing her. You’ve seen how Tania is so protective of Serenity even when she isnot very fond of her.”
Mrs. Lewis agreed with Lily’s sentiments. “The Yorks have a close relationship with my family as well,so I certainly cannot brashly shove Liberty out the door just because I wanted to. Otherwise, I’ll riskoffending the Yorks. Also, Liberty’s aunt, Mrs. Stone, is not someone I want to mess with.”
Originally, Mrs. Lewis wanted to dissuade her son from renting the shop lot to Liberty for her diner as ameans to keep their interaction at a bare minimum. That way, she could rest her worries about a
relationship sparking between the two.
The way things were now, she would come off as rather unreasonable for doing so. Pulling off such astunt would also anger the Yorks as well as the Stones. It might be quite unnecessary as well since itdid not seem like Liberty was interested in Duncan.
It was simply not worth it.
However, it might be too late to spring to action only after something happened between Duncan andLiberty.
As a mother, Mrs. Lewis was well informed of Duncan’s personality.
He would not rashly commit to a relationship, but once he did, you could assume that he wascommitted for life.
They stayed quiet for a while before Lily broke the silence, “Mrs. Lewis, let’s forget about trying tochase Liberty out. It’s not exactly easy for her to start a business as a newly–divorced woman. Besides,business seems good right now, and I wouldn’t want to get in the way of a mother trying to make endsmeet for the sake of her son.
“And if something were to happen between Duncan and Liberty… Well, I suppose it will come down toa fair match between me and her for Duncan’s affection. And if I lose, then so be it. When
it comes to love, the strong doesn’t always come out on top–that’s the way it is.
“Every man has a different preference for a partner. Some are just desperate for a partner and cansettle for any common lady while others prefer a strong character in the person they are going to spendthe rest of their lives with to form the ideal power couple. We don’t know yet if Duncan is the former orlatter type.”
Mrs. Lewis expressed with a sigh, “Lily, it’s admirable that you are staying true to your conviction. butjust remember that I’m on your side.
“Liberty might not be hatching any ideas about Duncan right now but if she does fall in love with himlater on, I will be the first to object to their marriage. She shouldn’t even think about joining my family.My son has not even had a girlfriend yet, so why should he be marrying a woman already burdenedwith a child?”novelbin
Lily smiled and said kindly, “Thank you, I will do my best and know that however this ends, I gave it myall.”
She was beaming with confidence.
“Lily, you don’t even know how fond I am of you. I truly hope things will work out between you andDuncan. I believe in you! I long for the day we become family.”
Lily smiled warmly.
A crew had come to deliver the hand–woven goods to Serenity again.
After inspecting the delivery and ensuring that there was no problem with the products, she settled thepayment before issuing yet another new order.
After seeing the part–time crafters off, she put the handicraft into packages and called a courier tocollect them.
Shortly after, the courier showed up to collect said packages. After the matter was settled, Serenitylooked at the time and turned to Jasmine, “Jas, I’m taking Sonny to go shopping with me.”
