Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1544
Duncan saw the calmness in Liberty’s eyes.
She truly was not interested in him at all.
That knowledge made Duncan feel defeated, but he soon got over it.
Liberty had experienced a failed marriage before. Her ex–husband’s family was also pestering her at that moment. She was
repulsed by love and marriage as a result.
Duncan would need a long time to melt Liberty’s heart and make her believe in love and marriage again.
He also gave himself a few years to pursue her and wait for her reply.
He was not in a rush anyway
He was willing to keep waiting unless Liberty got married to someone else.
“Good morning, Liberty.”
Duncan returned Liberty a greeting.
Zachary left with Serenity with Sonny in his arms.
As he walked, he complained to his wife, “Honey, I was drunk last night and woke up with a headache this. morning. I think my
headache worsened because I couldn’t see you after opening my eyes.”
Serenity hooked his arm and said softly, “I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping soundly Does your head still hurt? You
can continue sleeping after breakfast It’s the holidays. You can get a good rest”
“Come and rest with me.
“Okay I’ll be with you.”
The unhappiness Zachary felt when he did not see his wife upon waking up completely dissipated.
He was that easy to coax.

Duncan watched Liberty and asked concernedly, “How are you feeling today. Liberty?”
I’m doing fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis,” Liberty replied formally.
After a moment of silence, Duncan said, “Liberty, you’ve become a lot colder toward me.”
“That’s not true. I’ve always treated you like this, Mr. Lewis.”
Liberty gazed at Duncan calmly. “You’ve helped me out a lot I feel grateful to you. Why will I be cold to you?”
She seemed as if she had not changed, but she did. She was cold and distant to him.
“Liberty, I really like you.”
Duncan confessed his feelings in front of her.
Liberty was still calm. “Thank you for your love, Mr. Lewis. However, I’m not interested in relationships right now. Please stop
thinking about me. It’s a waste of time. You and Ms. Harmon are a good match, Mr. Lewis.”
“It’s true that Lily and I have equal social status and background. Our mothers are best friends too. My mom has been trying hard
to get Lily and me together, but I don’t feel attracted to her at all.”
Duncan looked toward Liberty with a serious gaze. He said earnestly, “Liberty, I’m not a young and rash. boy anymore. I’m thirty–
six. I’m clear about what I want and know what I’m doing.
“Every word I say comes from my heart. I know you’re not interested in relationships now I can wait. I just hope that you’ll treat
me as usual and not be cold and distant to me.”
Liberty met his gaze and said, “I’m not avoiding the problem, Mr Lewis. I simply don’t have feelings for you, so I don’t want to
give you false hope and waste your time.
“Mr. Lewis, I’m a divorced woman. I’m not saying that divorced women don’t have the right to pursue love again. It’s just that I
don’t believe in love anymore. I don’t want to be involved in romantic relationships Running my breakfast diner and earning
money to raise Sonny is enough for me.
“I know you’re not being impulsive or fooling me, but we really don’t suit each other. Please don’t waste your efforts on me
anymore, Mr. Lewis. You’re a great guy. If you’re willing to turn your gaze elsewhere. you’ll find a better girl who suits you more

than I do.”
Liberty had no doubt that Duncan liked her.
However, she was no longer a young girl who was inexperienced in love. She would not jump into a relationship rashly.
Apart from the existing difference between she and Duncan, the fact that Mrs. Lewis disliked her also stopped her from falling in
love.
Liberty had finally managed to escape the conflicts she had had with her in–laws. She never wanted to have a headache or get
angry over issues with her in–laws again.
Why would she make things difficult for herself again?
Moreover, she truly had no feelings for Duncan.
She never thought of becoming a couple with him.
“If you’ll excuse me, Mr. Lewis.”
Liberty said apologetically, “I’ll be heading into the house first.” After speaking, she walked past Duncan.
