Liberty said, “Don’t think too much about me in the future. I really have never disliked you, just like I was as fat as a pig, and you never disliked me for being fat and ugly.”
Duncan said quickly, “You are not ugly, not at all. When you were mellow before, you were not ugly. You look very lucky.”
Liberty said, “Ugly is ugly. When I look in the mirror, I hate my chubby self.”
It was okay to be stupid once. She wouldn’t be stupid a second time. She needed to take better care of herself. She also shouldn’t eat so much again.
Before she lost weight, she was so fat that she not only had a fatty liver but also had high uric acid.
After losing weight, uric acid became normal, and the fatty liver improved.
“Liberty, you bought Sonny toys and new clothes, but you didn’t buy anything for me.”
Duncan changed the topic and became jealous of Sonny.
Liberty smiled and said, “You don’t lack anything. Sonny is a child and grows up very fast. He needs to buy new clothes almost every year. Your height has already been determined, and last year’s clothes can still be worn this year. When I go back, I will bring you some specialties from Jensburg.”
Duncan said sourly, “Sonny grew up to be someone else’s husband. In the future, his wife will care about him and take care of him. I am the one who will accompany you until you grow old. You should care about me more. I also want new clothes. As long as you buy it, I like it.”
She rarely gave him gifts. It was she who said she didn’t want to remarry and rejected his feelings before.
Now, she didn’t explicitly say that she would marry him in the future, but she already felt like a lover for him. In everyone’s eyes, they were a couple.
Duncan automatically stepped into the role of her husband. He stayed with her for the rest of her life. Even if she didn’t marry him in the end, he would still be by her side, and they could remain good friends for the rest of their lives.
Duncan really wanted to receive the gift from Liberty. No matter how high or low he was, as long as it was from her, he would like it.
