“Chelsea and her mother continued to cause chaos even after Sonny’s dad married Jessica. I try to stay as far away as I can from her. I would be a fool to have a meal with her, let alone hire her as a supervisor for my store.”
Liberty was traumatized by Chelsea’s shamelessness.
Duncan replied with a hum and lowered his head to look at Sonny, who was sitting on his lap. He stopped talking to Liberty about the Brown family.
After exiting the inpatient building, he asked her, “Where will we have our meal?”
“We should go somewhere better since it’s my treat. Where do you usually go? If you’re used to dining at that particular place, I’ll treat you to a meal there.”
Duncan smiled. “I usually had my meals at Wiltspoon Hotel in the past.”
He was good friends with Zachary. It was a given that he would help Wiltspoon Hotel with its business.
Duncan was not involved in the food and beverage industry. He felt the competition was too strong, and they could never compete against Wiltspoon Hotel.
“Let’s go to Wiltspoon Hotel then.”
Liberty said generously, “It’s on me. Don’t fight me over the bill.”
Duncan grinned. “Okay. I won’t insist on paying.”
Liberty could afford to treat someone occasionally as she was earning money. Therefore, Duncan was not being excessively considerate. If he were too polite, she would get angry.
Sonny got into Duncan’s car while Liberty drove hers. The two cars soon left the hospital.
Right then, Chelsea and her husband walked out with their three children.
