Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1217
They lived in a small circle where paths intersected frequently. They would cross paths eventually.
Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis only brought her up in passing. Lily only remembered a bit about Liberty because she
was Serenity’s sister.
“Yes, she divorced last yet. Her husband had an affair. I heard he was violent toward her too and wanted to go Dutch with her
when it came to living expenses. Liberty stayed at home to raise their son and was considered a housewife, yet her husband
wanted to go Dutch with her. It was clear it was because he disliked her, but she didn’t realize it.
“I heard she only found out that her husband was cheating on her when she received evidence of his affair. Her husband was
very stingy with her, but he bought luxury goods for his mistress.
“Women, especially married women, need to love themselves more. If you don’t know how and to love yourself, you can’t expect
your husband to love and cherish you. You have to try maintain financial independence. If you can’t do that, then you need to at
least seize the financial power of the family.
“There’s no need to save your husband’s money for him. If you save too much, he’ll just give his money to someone else to
spend. He won’t appreciate you if you try to save money for him and don’t buy new clothes or cosmetics for yourself. In fact, he’ll
think that you don’t care about your appearance. He’ll think you’re ugly and refuse to bring you out with him because you’re
shameful.”
Mrs. Lewis criticized Liberty for ending up getting a divorce because Liberty did not know how to love herself after marriage.
Then, she said to Lily, “Lily, don’t worry. Duncan isn’t
that kind of man.
“If you marry Duncan, we’re also very open–minded and won’t stop you from going out to work. You’ll still be free to do whatever
you want. We all support you.”
Lily was one of the core figures of Harmon Corporation.
Mrs. Lewis knew that a woman like Lily was unlikely to stay indoors as a housewife after marriage.
She assured Lily in advance so that Lily would not worry.

Lily laughed while driving. “Mrs. Lewis, Duncan keeps avoiding me. I think it’ll take a long time for me to pursue him.
“However, I agree with you. Was Liberty even fatter in the past? She still looks quite chubby
now.”
Liberty had not completely lost her excess flesh. For a girl with a good figure like Lily, Liberty was considered fat.
Lily did not think much about it even after finding out that Liberty was divorced. There was no way Duncan would marry a
divorced single mother. The elders of the Lewis family would not agree either.
Furthermore, that woman was still chubby. Duncan had high standards and was so picky that he did not even take a liking to Lily.
How could he fancy someone like Liberty, who was fat, divorced, and already had a child?
Lily felt that Duncan only stopped to talk to Liberty out of consideration for Zachary.
No matter what, Liberty was Zachary’s sister–in–law.
Zachary spoiled his wife, so Duncan was respectful to his sister–in–law. After all, Liberty took care of Serenity like a mother.
“Duncan treats Liberty’s son very well,” Mrs. Lewis said.
She never knew that her youngest son would like a child so much.
Lily said, “Little children are cute. Everyone likes them.”
Mrs. Lewis glanced at Lily but said nothing.
Lily felt that Duncan would never like a divorced woman, so she did not care about Liberty.
However, Mrs. Lewis was a mother and knew her son better. She had a feeling that Duncan’s attention to Liberty and her son
was a little beyond ordinary.
After thinking about it, she took out her phone and called someone to inquire about. Liberty’s current situation.
