Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1615
By the time Liberty arrived at the destination set by Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis was already waiting for her.
She parked her e-bike and removed the helmet. She walked up to Mrs. Lewis and greeted her politely, “Hi, Mrs. Lewis.”
Although Mrs. Lewis had a row with her son and was furious at him, she remained well-mannered in front of Liberty and gently
acknowledged her greeting.
“Let’s go in and take a seat.”
Mrs. Lewis invited Liberty in.
Liberty nodded and followed behind Mrs. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis did not tag along. His wife ordered him to stay in the car, and he was not allowed to leave.
Mrs. Lewis found a table in a corner to sit at, which was away from other customers. It was also quiet enough for her to speak to
Liberty. She did not have to worry about other people overhearing their conversation.
Once Liberty was seated, Mrs. Lewis hailed a waiter over to order a glass of fruit juice for herself. Since it was nighttime, she did
not want to drink coffee.
“Liberty, what would you like to drink?” Mrs. Lewis asked.
Liberty responded, “I’d like a glass of warm water.”
For a long time, Liberty had refrained from eating after six in the evening to lose weight. Although she had successfully shed
pounds, she had become used to not eating past that hour. She did not want to change her habit in case she gained weight
again.
Mrs. Lewis said to the waiter, “And a glass of warm water, please.”
After the waiter left, she said with a smile, “Are you trying to save money for me? I’m treating you to a meal, yet you just want
warm water.”

“Mrs. Lewis, I drank warm water at night to lose weight back then. I would only drink when I was really thirsty. I dared not drink
anything else because I was worried I couldn’t lose weight. Now that I’ve finally lost weight, I need to control my diet so I won’t
revert to my previous figure.”
She had spent half a year losing weight.
It was no easy task.
Weight loss required perseverance.
Mrs. Lewis observed Liberty and praised her, “You can even be featured on weight loss advertisements. You’re totally different
from when I first met you.”
-When she first met Liberty, Liberty was still a fatso.
Liberty laughed and said, “At that time, I was really fat, I have no idea how I got that fat.”
At the thought of her failed marriage with Hank, she felt that she was at fault.
Her biggest mistake was that she did not love herself. She thought her life would be stable after she got married and gave birth
to a son. She was not bothered to maintain a good figure. She did not control her diet and ate everything in large amounts.
In the end, her weight rose sharply.
Her husband eventually looked down on her, which led to her broken marriage.
Women must love themselves.
Mrs. Lewis grinned without replying.
“Mrs. Lewis, you asked me out because you have something to discuss with me, right?” After chatting for a while, Liberty asked
Mrs. Lewis directly.
Sonny was still left in the mall.
Even though Duncan was looking after him, Liberty was uneasy about it.
She wanted to quickly wrap up the discussion and get things settled.

Just as Mrs. Lewis was thinking about how to start the discussion without being abrupt, she did not. expect Liberty to ask her
forthrightly. She said, “Liberty, I’d like to have a talk with you. It’s just a talk. I’m not going to force you.”
