Chapter 2247
“Mr. Lewis, it’s late. You should get some rest.”
“Okay. You should rest soon too. I don’t really have much to do, so I can sleep late and have a lie-in
tomorrow.”
The pair said their good nights.
Duncan needed to exit the car.
His bodyguard first removed the wheelchair from the trunk before helping Duncan out of the car.
Once Duncan was seated in the wheelchair, the bodyguard wheeled him into the main residence.
His parents, Derek and Corey, should be fast asleep at this hour.
Nevertheless, the light came on before the bodyguard could reach for the switch after they stepped
inside the house. Corey turned on the lights.novelbin
She just came downstairs.
“Mrs. Lewis,” the bodyguard greeted with respect.
“It’s late, Mom. Why aren’t you asleep?”
Corey drew close and relieved the bodyguard of his duty. She proceeded to push the wheelchair.
“I couldn’t rest until I knew you were home safe. I kept my ears peeled for any outside noise and
checked the balcony when I heard the gate. I only came downstairs when I saw your car.
“Why are you home late?”
Corey and her daughter-in-law were there to show their support on the opening day of Liberty’s new
restaurant.
To the Lewises, Liberty would sooner or later become a part of the family, so they must certainly be
there for Liberty during the opening. They enjoyed a meal and stayed a short while before leaving.
Although it was opening day, Liberty still had a business to run.
Liberty was swamped with work.
They could not offer much help to Liberty, but they could respect her time and space in establishing a
business.
“I took Liberty and Sonny home after she was finished with work. I only came home after that,” Duncan
gave an honest answer.
“I see. Tell Liberty not to push herself too hard. She can leave work at nine o’clock. She’s the boss. She
doesn’t have to stay way past the closing time.”
Liberty had hired a manager to manage the service crew. Although she was one of the main chefs, she
added staffing in the cooking department. She was free to leave at any time, and there was no need to
stay until late.
At the very least, Liberty should consider Sonny’s well-being.
“Liberty worked later than usual because it was a special day. I didn’t want to leave her and Sonny to
go home alone so late, so I escorted them home. Sonny fell asleep in my arms in the restaurant, and I
joined him in a nap.”
Corey wheeled Duncan near the sofa. He held onto the sofa to stand himself up and took a seat.
He could not walk normally yet, but he had been keeping up with his physiotherapy. He could sit
himself on the sofa and take a couple of steps without holding onto anything.
It was a long road to recovery, but with Liberty by his side, he feared nothing.
“I’m glad I saw Liberty and Sonny home because they ran into a drunk man. The drunk man couldn’t
take his eyes away from her. I sent our bodyguard upstairs with her. Our bodyguard is a big,
intimidating man, and he’s good at scaring off riffraff.”
“It’s not safe there. Tell Liberty not to go home late. It’d be best if you could escort her to her door.
She’s a young and beautiful woman living alone with her three-year-old kid. You’d never know who
could be watching her.”
