Chapter 1265
“You don’t need to care about Liberty, nor do you have to find her since it’ll make you appear as having no confidence. I’ll handle her. I’m Duncan’s mother. It’s normal that I can’t accept a divorcee as my daughter–in–law.”
Mrs. Lewis was afraid that Lily would go looking for trouble with Liberty and anger Duncan, causing him to dislike her.
She added, “From now on, just focus on pursuing Duncan. I’ll take care of Liberty for you.
“I’m Duncan’s mom. No matter what, Duncan won’t fight with me.”
Lily said while driving, “Mrs. Lewis, are you going to look for Liberty now? I think Duncan just treats her son well. He didn’t seem to pay much attention to Liberty. Maybe we’re overthinking.
“Maybe Duncan simply likes Liberty’s son? I also saw what the boy looked like. He looks smart and is utterly adorable. There’s also nothing strange about Liberty renting Duncan’s store to open a breakfast diner. As long as she pays the rent, she’s just a tenant.
“Furthermore, Liberty is Mr. York’s sister–in–law, and Mr. York and Duncan are good friends. Maybe Duncan is just looking after her for Mr. York’s sake.”
Lily was cautious about Liberty, but she was not as impulsive as Mrs. Lewis who could not wait to go up to Liberty and tell her to stay away from Duncan.
“You’re too nice, Lily. It’s best if Duncan and Liberty haven’t started anything. I’ll inquire about Liberty lest she tries to have any funny ideas. You don’t have to worry. I know what to do.”
Mrs. Lewis took out her phone and took a picture of Lily.
“Why are you taking a picture of me?”
Mrs. Lewis smiled. “Because I’ll be using it, of course. Find a studio to print these photos out. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. Later, just drop me off at All You Can Eat, then you can head to Lewis & Co. to find Duncan.”
Lily hummed and accepted Mrs. Lewis’s arrangement.
When the store had only a few customers remaining, and her son leaving, as well as after Serenity departed with Sonny, only then Mrs. Lewis walked into All You Can Eat.
The diner was not big, but it was brightly decorated. Liberty and her two workers were diligent and cleaned up the store so that it was neat and tidy.
