Female Novel
Chapter 2186
Grandma May was about to slap Zachary again.
Serenity quickly pulled the old lady’s hand back. “I’m not angry anymore, Nana. Please stop hitting
Zachary. He’s already in his thirties. He’ll be embarrassed if you keep beating him.”
“Although Seren is protecting you and hiding your mistakes from me, I’m still giving you a warning. I
won’t let you off if you don’t behave yourself.”
Zachary smiled bitterly. “I know, Nana. I’ve always behaved myself properly.”
Mrs. Lane soon returned with the sour prunes.
Serenity tore the package open eagerly and ate one. The sour taste spread in her mouth. She smiled
and said, “I love this taste.”
Zachary breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Serenity enjoying the sour prunes.
After a short rest, Zachary brought Serenity to the hospital for a checkup.
Grandma May and Liberty remained in Brynfield.
Mrs. Lane continued going about her business.
Since they had nothing to do, Grandma May could finally ask Liberty about her and Duncan’s
relationship.
“Has there been any progress between you and Duncan? His feelings for you are as clear as day. Mrs.
Lewis won’t stop you two anymore. Give him a chance.”
Grandma May intended to stop being out and about looking for her granddaughters-in-law because she
wanted to take care of Serenity.
However, once she had free time, she had the urge to play matchmaker.
She was concerned about Liberty and Duncan too. She really wanted to help Duncan.
Liberty was a nice lady as well.
Although she was divorced and had a child, they could still be happy as long as Duncan could accept
it.
Their generation was different from Grandma May’s times.
In the past, being divorced was an embarrassing matter. Most people chose to tolerate it no matter how
unhappy their lives were.
In contrast, the younger generation would let go and free their partners once they could no longer
tolerate each other.
After a moment of silence, Liberty said, “I’m busy with work now, Grandma May. I haven’t properly
considered being in a relationship. Mr. Lewis is a good man. I keep having the feeling that I’m not good
enough for him.
“If I hadn’t gotten married or given birth before, I would’ve…”
“What’s wrong with being divorced? It’s not your fault anyway,” Grandma May interjected.
“It’s not as if Duncan is unaware of your situation. He adores Sonny too. You don’t have to worry about
him not being able to accept Sonny. Give Duncan a chance. He’ll treat Sonny like he’s his own son.”
Grandma May smiled and said, “Duncan said he had only started noticing you because he liked Sonny
a lot. After finding out that you’re Zachary’s sister-in-law, he paid more attention to you. With that said,
he fell in love with you because he liked Sonny.
“He’s seen you in your worst state, even when you used to be 220 pounds. However, since he still likesnovelbin
you, it means his feelings for you are sincere.
“Duncan is a man worth entrusting yourself to. I know you have a lot to think about, Liberty. You’re
always worried that you aren’t good enough for him. If you accept his feelings, you’ll be spending the
rest of your life with him. There’s no need to mind what others say if Duncan doesn’t look down on you.
“No matter how well you perform, there’ll always be some people criticizing you. Why must we care
about what others say and ruin our mood? That’s not worth it. Whether you’re happy or suffering
depends on how you live your life. No one can live your life in your place.
“That’s why we don’t have to mind what others say.
“I hope you can give Duncan a chance. It has been difficult for him to have come so far for you. How’s
his rehab going?”
Grandma May felt sorry for Duncan.
He was a fine man, yet he suddenly ended up wheelchair-bound.
Luckily, Duncan had moved on from those dark times. He had regained confidence in life.
“Mr. Lewis has been going to rehab consistently every day. He does it in the mornings due to the hot
weather and then heads to my new store in the afternoons. I’ve been trying to make some new dishes I
have never made before. He has become my taste-tester.”
“What about your ex-husband?”
Grandma May asked about Hank.
