Besides, Duncan was a good man to Liberty and Sonny. He saw Sonny as his own.
Liberty had rejected him and refused to remarry because she did not want to be miserable again. She was worried Sonny would be bullied too.
However, Duncan had cleared all obstacles for her sake. The Lewis family eventually accepted Liberty and was looking forward to her getting married to Duncan. She did not have to worry about Sonny getting bullied either. Duncan’s love for Sonny had surpassed that of Hank’s.
If Liberty wanted to get married again, Duncan would be her best choice.
“Duncan just doesn’t want to hold you back. He wants to make you happy. Just wait for him. I believe he’ll be able to stand up soon.”
“I know. That’s why I’m waiting for him. I’ll continue waiting no matter how many years he needs. In the meantime, I’ll work hard to advance my career.”
Although she had to rely on the three wealthiest families in Wiltspoon for investments, she had gained a lot out of it.
The experience she had accumulated could not have been bought with money.
“Good luck! You’re the best, Liberty. I’m proud of you.”
Liberty smiled. “I’ll do my best.”
“Okay, go get some rest. Remember to inform me if anything happens. I’ll worry about you if you don’t. We can think of a solution to any problems if you share them with me. It’ll make things easier for everyone too.”
“I know.”
After the sisters’ call ended, Liberty could not fall back to sleep despite wanting to.
She got up and washed up.
After changing into fresh clothes, she went out to get some food.
As the hotel’s restaurant no longer served breakfast at that hour, she had no choice but to head outside to buy her food.
Her head still hurt when she returned to the hotel after breakfast, so she took the painkillers from her luggage and consumed them. The pharmacist had told her that the painkillers had side effects, but she was used to it.
