Chapter 2759
Duncan turned to look at her and said, “What do you take me for? I’ve even slept on a bench in a park
before. Those were my rebellious days.”
Liberty knew Duncan was rebellious during his teenage days. He would do all sorts of things with his
friends. His turning point came when his grandmother died of sickness. After that, he turned over a new
leaf and worked hard to establish Lewis & Co.
More than ten years had passed since then. Duncan rarely mentioned his past to Liberty because it
reminded him of his grandmother.
He was the apple of his grandmother’s eye. He was also the youngest among his brothers, the one
whom most people adored most.
Sonny used to be afraid of the scar on Duncan’s face. Duncan thought of removing the scar through
treatments but decided against it in the end. He mentioned that the scar would serve as a reminder that
his disobedience had caused his grandmother to fall ill and pass away.
He felt guilty.
“I’m not picky about accommodations. Besides, a room like this is good enough.”
Duncan admitted that he usually lived in presidential suites during business trips.
He was rich and single anyway. Why else did he earn so much money if not for his indulgence?
“Do you want to rest now?”
“I can just use that sofa.”
Duncan pointed to a sofa placed by the window.
Liberty pushed the wheelchair over. When she was about to help him move, he refused and said, “I can
stand on my own. I’m still capable of walking short distances.”
He did not feel as much pain in his legs after going for rehabilitation and practicing walking a few steps
every day. However, his legs could not bear walking any further than that. They would get so painful
that he could not stand and he would fall.
His legs were covered in bruises because of the falls.
Duncan hid the bruises from everyone by wearing long pants every day so they would not feel sad for
him.
He did not need anyone’s sympathy.
Liberty gave up on helping Duncan. He stood on his own, took a step, and turned to sit on the sofa
slowly.
After he was seated, Liberty pushed the wheelchair aside and left it by a wall.
“Do you want some fruit? The hotel sends cut fruits every day.
“They’re all seasonal fruits and pretty fresh.”
Duncan said, “I’m too full. I can’t eat anymore.”
Liberty walked to him and replied, “You’re almost forty. Don’t you know how much you can eat? Serves
you right.”
She sat beside him and looked at his stomach. “Do you feel any discomfort? Maybe you can practice
walking to help with your digestion.”
Duncan smiled at her.
He did stuff himself full, but it was not to the extent that his stomach felt stretched.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I love listening to your nagging, Liberty. It makes me feel happy.”
Usually, Liberty would only nag at Serenity.
The people she cared about most were Serenity and Sonny. Since Sonny was young and did not
require much nagging, Liberty loved nagging at Serenity like a mother.
She was a sister but also a motherly figure to Serenity.
Liberty had indeed taken up the responsibility of a mother for Serenity.
“Do you hate my nagging?”novelbin
“No. I love listening to you nagging me.”
