Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 2659

After Corey left with Sonny, Duncan asked Serenity, “Did your sister really ask you to come see me when she left? How is she? Have I become too sensitive, and emotional, and affected her?

“Serenity, do you think I’m being unreasonable? I’m almost thirty-seven years old and acting like a child.”

The more Duncan spoke, the more self-blaming he became.

He felt genuinely unreasonable this time.

“Duncan, Liberty really worries about you. It’s just that she had a tight schedule, so she couldn’t make it here. She repeatedly asked me and Zachary to come and comfort you. Sonny is very honest. Don’t you believe what he said?

“Duncan, I’m not afraid of you getting angry or feeling vulnerable. But this time, you are genuinely being unreasonable. Look at the way you’ve shut yourself in this room for a day without eating or drinking. You’ve not only caused my sister to worry before she left but also Mrs. Lewis. I’m sure you don’t feel good about it either.

“It’s not just about you being unwell; it’s also about those who care about you.”

Duncan fell silent.

Zachary also spoke up, “Duncan, how can we help you? We’ve repeated comforting words so many times. Recently, you’ve been back to your normal life. If Liberty didn’t care about you, she wouldn’t bother with you.

“To be honest, she’s becoming more outstanding. If she wanted, many men out there would be willing to be with her, to marry her. Have you seen her being particularly close to other men? She has never explicitly said she’s your girlfriend but isn’t your relationship with her already like that of lovers?

“She works hard to bridge the gap between you two. If you feel you’re holding her back, she feels that even with you in a wheelchair, she can’t catch up to you. Both of you are moving forward together. She strives for you and Sonny, to build your careers. You should also smile at life for her and Sonny’s sake.”

“Look, you can’t keep getting caught up in trivial matters like this in the future. Is your phone still off? Turn it on and check the notifications. Liberty sent you a lot of messages.”

Liberty said that Duncan did not answer her calls, or reply to her texts. That went on for a while before he shut down his phone, declining all incoming messages.
