Duncan continued, “After so much, she still can’t trust me? Doesn’t she have confidence in herself? My parents and everyone in my family have accepted her, and no one objects to us being together anymore. Everyone in my family is looking forward to it. If we get married early, what else does she have to worry about?
I’m not Hank; I’m definitely not Hank. No matter how many women are better than Liberty out there, I won’t like them. I won’t marry anyone but her in this life.”
After a pause, Duncan asked his friend, “Zachary, do you want me to get the certificate with your sister early? In the past, she was unwilling to marry me, but later, I felt that I was disabled and didn’t want to drag her down. Before I recovered, I didn’t want to get the certificate from her.
Is this why she loses confidence and suspects that I have second thoughts? I am really afraid that I will not be able to recover and will be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, dragging her down.
After the divorce, it was already difficult for her to live with Sonny by herself. Adding me, a disabled person, to the mix would exacerbate her struggles. I love her and just want to bring her happiness instead of dragging her down.”
What Duncan said was heartfelt.
Zachary picked up the coffee cup and drank it slowly. After taking a few sips, he said, “I don’t know about this either. My sister is busy now. You’d better wait until she is free and ask her in person. I say it’s just a dream. You don’t need to ask the truth.”
“Who doesn’t dream? I dream every night. I dream that Seren gave birth to a lovely daughter. I hugged my daughter and smiled. Several times, Seren woke me up and asked me what I was dreaming about, and she was laughing so happily.”
Duncan: “Based on my male intuition, I think Liberty heard something from someone. Could it be that someone wanted to break up the two of us and deliberately talk nonsense in front of her?”
Serenity simply assumed that Ainsley had thoughts about Duncan. There was no evidence. Ordinarily, Ainsley and Duncan were not close, making such words impossible to spread.
Lest Serenity turn into the one spreading rumors,
This was why Zachary refused to tell the truth about his death.
Zachary said, “Who would say bad things about you in front of my sister? Duncan, I think you are just too worried. Seren usually talks to her sister on the phone. They mostly talk about domestic matters and Sonny’s matters. Occasionally, Seren will ask about the situation in Jensburg and remind her sister to pay attention to safety. It’s not the first time she has met you. She won’t say bad things about you in front of her sister. I see, it’s not my sister who is having random thoughts; it’s you who are having random thoughts.”
