Chapter 1666
“Mom!”
“I’ll be frank here. If you can break all ties with me, I won’t bother with who you like or pursue anymore.”
After speaking, Mrs. Lewis turned and left angrily.
Duncan was exasperated by his mother too.
He did not understand. His mother did not hate Liberty. Why was she being stubborn and refused to let him be with Liberty?
He had not even succeeded in wooing Liberty. With his mother making such a big fuss, it would do nothing but hinder him.
Liberty, who did not love him from the start, would be scared of his mother and dared not like him or accept his feelings.
Duncan raised his head and took a look around. He did not return to Liberty’s apartment but walked toward his car. After getting
in, he called Zachary and Josh to invite them out for a drink.
He hung up after speaking, disregarding whether they agreed to it, and started the car.
Meanwhile, in the Buchams‘ residence, Josh looked at the ended call on the phone. After a moment, he scolded, “I’m still on my
marriage leave. Why did he call me out to drink?”
He glanced at the time. It was still early and not even evening yet.
What was with Duncan calling him out for a drink?
After thinking about it, Josh called Zachary. When Zachary picked up, he asked, “Did Duncan call you out for drinks? What kind
of shock did he experience? He asked me out for a drink and hung up without giving me a chance to reject him.
“He comes to disturb me while I’m still on my marriage leave. Are you free, Zachary? You should go with him for a drink or two.
I’m heading to Wiltspoon School to accompany my wife.”
After he finished speaking, Zachary said, “Duncan called me just now. He ended the call without giving me the chance to refuse
him too. He was obviously obstructed by his mother again when wooing my sister–in–law. They must’ve fought again.”
Mrs. Lewis was stubborn and unwilling to give them her blessing.
Although Duncan was headstrong, she was his mother after all. He was frustrated about it too.
Zachary thought, ‘My sister–in–law hasn’t even accepted his feelings.‘
Mrs. Lewis’s discouraging actions would only affect her relationship with her son.
Josh frowned. “Your sister–in–law hasn’t accepted Duncan yet, right? She said she didn’t like him and harbored no feelings for
him. What can Mrs. Lewis achieve by making such a big fuss?”
“She’s doing this because my sister–in–law doesn’t have feelings for Duncan. She wants Duncan to give up.”
Zachary sighed. “I’ll just have a drink. Let’s persuade Duncan to let go too.”
He had talked to Duncan about it before. If Liberty did not accept Duncan, he advised Duncan not to keep pestering her to
prevent them from losing their friendship.
Zachary had a solid friendship with Duncan, having been friends for many years. He was caught between a rock and a hard
place standing in between Duncan and Liberty now.
Based on his understanding of Duncan, he definitely wished Duncan could end up with Liberty. If so, the rest of her life would be
filled with happiness.
However, Mrs. Lewis was adamant about opposing the relationship, and her attitude worsened. Therefore, Zachary did not
support Duncan and Liberty getting together anymore.
After a moment of silence, Josh said, “We know how Duncan is. The more someone stops him, the more he refuses to let go. He
has a rebellious nature right to his bones. No one can persuade him to do otherwise unless he’s willing to let it go himself.”
Even if Liberty left, Duncan would neither give up nor let
1. go.
He would find her back even if he had to travel the entire world.
Liberty was aware of the reality. Therefore, she did not think of running away.
It was unavoidable.
The most she could do was relocate, so Duncan could no longer visit her apartment daily.
