Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438

Lily held her cup and took a sip of coffee elegantly. After that, she smiled at Duncan and said, ” You’re such an honest person. Your words do hurt my pride.

“Can you tell me why you fell in love with Liberty? She’s divorced and has a three–year–old son. She isn’t even on equal social status as you. I just wish to know how I lost so I can overcome my shortcomings…”

“To be honest, I have no idea either. I didn’t even know I had romantic feelings for Liberty. I only realized I had unconsciously developed those feelings after the panic, fear, and heartache I felt after she got hurt.

“I don’t care that she’s divorced. I don’t mind that she has a son too. I like Sonny. As for social status… I don’t care about it. However, I won’t confess for now to not make her feel pressured. I’m willing to wait for her for two to three years and confess to her after her career takes off.”

Duncan thought he would have higher chances of succeeding if he confessed to Liberty after her business flourished.

It was because Liberty would have become a confident and strong woman by that time.

Lily gazed at Duncan with shock and regret.

She thought she could still try and strive for a chance. However, upon hearing Duncan’s words, she thought of giving up trying. The thoughts he had were entirely out of consideration for Liberty. When a man considered so much for a woman, it could only mean that he had deeply fallen in love. with her.

Duncan was thirty–six. Many at his age already had a child or two, so he could be considered a ” leftover man“. Nevertheless, he was willing to wait for Liberty for a few years not to marry her but to confess to her.

It was uncertain whether Liberty would accept him if he confessed after she became successful. Even if he could win her over in the end, it would probably take some time, which could range from half a year to one year at least, or three to five years at most.

Duncan was willing to wait anyway.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Harmon.”

Duncan said apologetically, “Your time was wasted because of my mother’s fondness for you.”

Lily drank her coffee again. After some time, she said, “You didn’t waste my time, Duncan. I traveled to Wiltspoon on a business trip. I’m here to survey the market and work with mega- corporations in Willspoon.
