Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 831
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m mainly concerned about Zachary and his wife,” Duncan said frankly, seemingly worried that
Liberty would misunderstand him.
“You went to visit them, so how are they now?” Duncan asked concernedly.
Liberty sighed before she said, “You and Zachary go a long way back, don’t you? In fact, both of you are good friends and aren’t
simply related in business. Mr. Lewis, even you side with Zachary to deceive us.
“You know Zachary’s temper more than I do. He obstinately insists that things will be fine as long as he keeps Seren there. He
won’t even allow Seren to walk out of his villa. I noticed that he’s quite weary, whereas Seren is slightly disheartened.”
Duncan opened his mouth as he wanted to speak up for his good friend. However, he had no idea what to say. He had said good
things about him countless times. He said so much that he felt thirsty and drank quite a lot of water at Liberty’s place.
“Zachary has to come around to it now, otherwise we won’t be able to break the ice for them.”
At the thought of Zachary’s foul temper, Duncan could not help but sigh. “Give Zachary a few days’ time. He’ll come around.
Forcefully keeping Serenity by his side will only worsen their relationship.”
Even Duncan who did not understand what love was could figure it out. Why was Zachary still clueless about it?
After glancing at the time, Duncan said to Liberty, “Liberty, I’ll take my leave first. If you need my help in the future, you can dial
my number.”
“Let me see you off, Mr. Lewis.”
Duncan did not reject Liberty.
While carrying her son, Liberty saw Duncan off downstairs.
“Sonny, Dunc is leaving.”
Duncan pinched Sonny’s cute face gently. Before Sonny could pat away his hands, Duncan withdrew his hand. Under Sonny’s
glare, Duncan chortled while getting into the car. The car drove away shortly.

It was only when Duncan’s car was out of sight did Liberty turn around and headed back with her son in her arms.
“Liberty.”
A familiar scream rang out.
Liberty knew that it was Hank without having to turn around.
She stopped in her tracks. Then, she walked into the apartment building without looking back.
“Liberty.”
Hank shouted her name once again. This time, his shout carried rage.
Perhaps he was angered by Liberty’s indifference toward him. It could also be that watching Liberty see Duncan off from afar
made Hank angry.
Hank ran over to block Liberty and her son’s way before they could enter the building.
Once he moved closer, Liberty could sense the strong stench of alcohol.
She furrowed her brows. Carrying her son, she retreated and said in disdain, “Hank, how much alcohol have you had? You stink.
Stay away from me. Don’t spread the smell to Sonny.”
Hank glowered at Liberty. He must have had a lot of alcohol, considering that he attended a social function. Recently, he had not
been living well, and his career had not been smooth sailing. After returning home, he was even nagged and reprimanded by his
mother and sister.
They grumbled about how Jessica was far from kind and understanding.
It was Valentine’s Day today. He successfully got married to Jessica. Although he did not receive wishes from his family, he felt
blessed that he was able to provide his true love with a legit status.
He did not let Jessica down.
