Chapter 1319
Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.
“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”
It was not like Lily had no other suitors.
Duncan was silent.
“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”
“No.”
Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once–fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.
He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.
Why did he suddenly think of her now?
He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.
Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.
Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll try fighting for you. If I can’t win, I’ll give
up.”
She would try her best no matter what she did. If she lost even after trying, she would admit
defeat.
There was no shame in admitting defeat since it was like letting herself go. If she refused to admit defeat and stubbornly pestered him, she would be the one getting hurt. It was the same as harming herself.
Duncan said, “I’m too busy to date.”
“It won’t take much of your time. We’ll just go out for meals together, take walks, go on a road trip during the weekends, or watch movies when we’re free.”
Duncan was speechless.
“Since you don’t plan on meeting me halfway, I’ll run to you first.”
Lily was formally telling Duncan that she wanted to pursue him.
Duncan looked at this brave girl. Her efficient and firm attitude ticked his boxes, but he could not bring himself to agree with her. He always felt that she was not the person he wanted.
“We all have the freedom to like the person we want to like. You can do whatever you want, Ms. Harmon, but don’t go home crying to your family and get your elders to teach me a lesson if you get hurt.”
Duncan felt that he would not accept Lily’s feelings, so he said those unpleasant words bluntly. He wanted Lily to be mentally prepared to lose and not to think about using their parents to pressure
him.
The person who could pressure him was no longer alive.
Lily smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.”
Duncan stood up and asked, “Do you still want to stroll? Let’s go one more lap before going back to the house for a rest. We have a banquet to attend tonight.”

Finally we are here, thank you for progress in this story. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 👌...
A big change is happening to the story now. 6 years had past. Looking forward on where this story revolves. Hoping the story will be as good as before. Now focusing on the younger brothers but hoping to include the older characters. Thanks writer and interpreter for maintaining and using the English names....
Thank you writer and interpreter for bringing back and writing in English names...
Stop deleting my comments...
I feel like I betrayed this site caus I had to go to novel drama to continue this novel... They have the real thing there from chapter 182...
I'm seeing Vivian, bill, Julie, maria... Who are these ?...
Need English names, makes the whole story hard to follow....
Please go back to english names. Its been too long that we are reading this novel commitedly. Its like a torture to your loyal readers who can not focus on the story after living with the characters for so long. Please change your interpreter....
Please, please go back to original characters and stop with the repetitive pages. Furthermore the missing chapters from 4389-4412 are still missing. This stopping and starting is getting old. You going to lose all your readers...
Can you hire back the original interpreter or the ones who knows the original name? I think the current interpreter does not want to exert effort on studying the previous names. Please satisfy your readers. We have read the story for a long time. We are patronizing you for this long....
