Female Novel
Chapter 2268
Since Liberty had the ambition to establish a chain of restaurants across the country, she needed tonovelbin
have her own signature dishes.
Hence, Liberty needed to dedicate herself to learning and push forward with determination while
Duncan would have her back all the way.
Liberty soon left Duncan’s office and once she was gone, Duncan quickly finished his breakfast.
A full stomach improved the mood.
Duncan grabbed his phone to call his best buddy. He said to Zachary, “Liberty just delivered breakfast
to me. She told me about the villa. Just take the payment since Liberty is insisting on buying the place.
At least then she would feel right to accept the property. Buying a house with her own money gives her
a sense of ownership and belonging. However, living in someone else's house can make her feel like
she’ll always be a guest.”
Zachary held the phone in one hand while twirling his pen in the other, chuckling. “I expected you to tell
me not to accept Liberty's money, or that you would pay instead.”
“I would have been happy to pay for her, but she wouldn't let me. There's nothing I can do about it.
She's the love of my life, and I have to respect her wishes.”
“I don’t want to accept the money because the villa is a gift from me and Seren. We’re at a loss for
what to do as Liberty won’t take the property, so we’ve been stuck in this limbo for a while now. It’s my
first time gifting a house, but it hasn’t been successful.”
Duncan said with a smile, “I know, right? That’s just who she is, but whatever it takes to get her to
move, I’m all for it. I don’t feel comfortable with her staying in the current apartment anymore. She met
a drunk man last night who had searched for her all night. The drunk man must have his eye on her.
Who knows what could happen in the future? I might die of a heart attack if anything were to happen to
her or Sonny. For their safety, you should sell her the villa in The Oasis.”
Now Zachary had the full picture.
“Oh, so you called me because you were worried about the competition. You used to call me and Josh
out for prioritizing our women before buddies, but you’re no better. You hadn’t contacted me or Josh for
a long time, and the one time you’re calling me now is for Liberty.”
Duncan was lost for words.
A while later, Duncan chuckled and replied, “We’re best friends. I’m just learning from you and Josh. I’ll
feel out of place if I don’t follow suit.”
Zachary had no words. Why did he get the feeling that Duncan was quick-witted now? Duncan used to
be a silly goose.
“I’ll need to have a talk with my wife. Liberty is Seren’s sister, so it’s up to Seren whether she wants to
accept the money. She’s the boss at home too.”
Duncan smiled. “I know. Liberty told me that Serenity’s word is your command. I should learn from you
about how you treat your wife. If you don’t do well, I can use it as a learning opportunity not to follow in
your footsteps.”
Zachary was rendered speechless again.
It took a while before Zachary broke the silence. “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“No. Why? Can’t I call you if I don’t have anything important to talk about? I used to call you ten times a
day, but you never found me annoying. I mean, I was always there when you needed me.”
“I have a meeting coming up.”
“Alright. Go on to your meeting. I know you’re busy. You’re about to get married, so I can understand
that your schedule is full. Zachary, I’m envious of you. When will it be my turn to be the groom?”
Duncan could not even be Zachary’s best man.
The role of the groomsman was always open for Duncan, but Duncan declined because he did not
want to perform his duties in a wheelchair.
Zachary had a lot of cousins and brothers acting as his groomsmen anyway.
“You will be the groom one day.”
Duncan smiled. “I hope so. I shouldn’t take up your time. Go to your meeting. Take care of yourself.
Your wife will be sad if you push yourself too hard.”
