“Mrs. Lewis.”

Upon seeing Mrs. Lewis entering, Liberty quickly stood up to greet her even though she had just satdown.

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 upfirst. 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 ithad 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 thebusiness not doing well because of the boss’s incompetency in management or the chef’s substandardcooking skills?

Liberty wanted to know more about the situation and look at the surroundings of the restaurant. If shefound it suitable, she wanted to take over the restaurant.

The vegetable farm Serenity invested in had a steady business. She also established a fresh producecompany and collaborated with many hotels, schools, and factories. She had to supply lots ofvegetables daily.

Aside from managing the businesses she invested in, Serenity also had to study the internal affairs andmanagement of her in–laws‘ manor. She was very busy.

Liberty did not expect herself to catch up to her sister’s footsteps. She simply wanted to becomesuccessful in the food and beverage industry.

“Okay.”

After wrapping up at her diner, Liberty followed Mrs. Lewis out.

She did not ride in Mrs. Lewis’s car. Instead, she drove herself and followed Mrs. Lewis to the nearbycafe.

The business at the cafe was slow, making the place seem quiet.

Both of them ordered a cup of coffee.

“You should rest more and take care of your health, Mrs. Lewis,” Liberty said out of concern. Mrs.Lewis looked older and haggard compared to before. She did not even put on makeup and lost theelegance and glamor of a rich woman.

Mrs. Lewis smiled bitterly and said, “I want to watch my health too, but seeing Duncan’s state, I can’teat or sleep. I feel terrible.”

After a moment of silence, Liberty said, “Mr. Lewis is just feeling down for now. He’ll get better withtime.”

Mrs. Lewis lifted her cup of coffee and took a sip.

Her sleep quality had been low, and she was feeling unenergetic. She would have someone delivercoffee to the hospital twice a day to keep herself going.

After putting down her cup, Mrs. Lewis said with remorse, “I regret it, Liberty. I utterly regret my actions.

Duncan likes you, so why did I stop him? He’s almost forty and finally has someone he likes. I shouldbe happy, but I…

“If only I had Tania’s mindset, Duncan wouldn’t be bedridden now.”

As the Yorks head missus, Tania’s identity was important. Moreover, she was born into and raised in awealthy family. Therefore, she always had high standards.

When Old Mrs. York forced Zachary to marry Serenity to repay her gratitude in her stead, Tania did notstop her son despite being unhappy. She left it up to her son to decide.

At first, Tania disliked and could not accept Serenity as her daughter–in–law

However, no matter how unhappy she was, she never hurt Serenity or did anything extreme to breakthe husband and wife apart.novelbin

Whenever someone called Tania to complain about and badmouth Serenity, Tania would scold thatperson badly without caring about her image to protect her daughter–in–law.

Mrs. Lewis thought that if only she had Tania’s attitude and open–mindedness, the accident would nothave happened

“Duncan kept trying to convince me, but I wouldn’t change my mind and opposed you two beingtogether. I told him that he would have to break all ties with me if he wanted me to agree to hisrelationship with you. I was extreme, and it harmed Duncan. Liberty, if time could rewind, I would’vegiven you and Duncan my blessing.”

Mrs. Lewis could not resist holding Liberty’s hand. She said, “I’ve become open–minded now, Liberty. Idon’t want to meddle in it anymore. I just want Duncan to be healthy. He can like whoever he wants.Hel truly loves you. He doesn’t mean the words he said to you in the hospital at all.”
