Chapter 1669
Liberty thanked Zachary
Zachary said, “We’re family, Liberty. You don’t have to be so courteous.”
He even feared that she would not accept his help.
Luckily, she was rushing to move places and took up his offer.
With her brother–in–law’s assistance, Liberty moved out of her apartment quickly while Zachary left work to accompany Duncan for drinks.
Aside from Zachary and Serenity, no one knew Liberty’s new address. She did not inform Aunt Audrey either.
Meanwhile, in a hotel’s private room, a table was filled with dishes Duncan ordered along with many bottles of strong liquor.
At that moment, Zachary and Josh were by his side, watching him down one glass of alcohol after another.
“Eat something, Duncan.”
Zachary took some salad for him. Maybe he felt guilty toward his best friend because he had taken his sister–in–law’s side.
He wished he could help Duncan, but his sister–in–law did not love Duncan at all. Moreover, Mrs. Lewis was stubborn in opposing the relationship.
Zachary had no choice but to respect Liberty’s choice.
“Have some soup too, Duncan. You kept drinking since you came You’ll get drunk easily on an empty stomach. Don’t drink too much as well. Zachary and I will have to take responsibility if you get alcohol poisoning.”
Josh scooped a bowl of soup for Duncan as he persuaded him to drink less.
“I feel annoyed.”
Duncan took a fork and ate the salad in his bowl. It was the salad Zachary served him.
After two bites of it, he downed another glass of alcohol. It was strong, yet he downed it like it was plain water.
