Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 714
Duncan went and gave the pinwheel to Sonny.
Sonny refused to take the pinwheel from him.
“Mr. Lewis, Sonny has a lot of toys already.”
“It’s not much. I was passing by a toy store and thought the pinwheel at the entrance was nice. I bought him one since the wind’s
strong today, and he’d probably enjoy it.”
He dropped by to give Sonny the pinwheel. Otherwise, Duncan would not have come in.
Handing the pinwheel to Liberty, Duncan said, “Hold it for Sonny.”
Since the pinwheel did not cost a lot, Liberty accepted the gift and thanked Duncan on behalf of Sonny before handing the
pinwheel to her son.
Sonny took the pinwheel.
Duncan said hesitantly, “Sonny’s scared of me. I gave him the pinwheel, but he didn’t want it. He took it the moment you gave it
to him.”
Serenity replied amid chuckles, “I’m his mother. I have been with him since he was in my womb till today, so I’m his closest
person.”
Duncan laughed in delight. “Sorry, that came out wrong.”
Looking around the shop, he remarked, “You come here every day. What are you busy with?”
The place looked spotless.
However, the shop would be turned upside down anyway when the renovation started next year.
“I bought materials for the renovations. I just tinkled around here, and that’s a day well spent.”
In other words, she was just passing the time.

“I see.” With his gaze falling on Liberty, Duncan teased, “You’re losing weight faster than when I first asked you to run five rounds
at the office.”
“I still run every day, but I put myself on a strict diet, so no sugar and fats for me. I don’t have full meals either. My weight is
dropping now. I lost twenty pounds since I asked Hank for a divorce.”
Duncan believed Liberty looked nicer now that she had shed twenty pounds.
With her height, Liberty needed to drop another eighty pounds to reach the recommended weight.
“That’s good. Keep it up.”
Liberty smiled. It hit her that she bought some fruits and kept them in the shop. She asked, “Would you like some fruits? I bought
them today. Let me get you some.”
“It’s okay. I’m off to a meeting. I should leave you to your work.”
Seeing that Sonny had good fun with the pinwheel, Duncan swiftly gave Sonny a squeeze on the cheek. By the time Sonny
realized it, Duncan had withdrawn his arm.
Sonny sulkily glared at him.
Mr. Lewis snuck up on him.
“Sonny, Mr. Lewis is going to work. Say bye–bye.”
With the sneak attack a success, Duncan happily said goodbye to Sonny. Sonny reluctantly waved his arm in response to
Duncan’s friendly goodbye as his mother insisted.
While exiting Liberty’s shop, Duncan ran into Mrs. Brown who had just gotten out of the car.
Through the glass window, Mrs. Brown saw Duncan stroking Sonny’s face. He waved and bade Liberty and her son goodbye
before leaving the shop.
Mrs. Brown put her guard up at the sight of Duncan.
Was this man not the boss of Liberty’s previous workplace? Was he pursuing Liberty?

Mrs. Brown could not believe that a divorced woman like Liberty was desirable.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Brown thought she had it figured out when she saw the scar on Duncan’s face. The man had trouble in the
marriage department because of his disfigured looks. Since young, beautiful, and single women would not want to marry him, the
man must be setting his sights on a divorced woman like Liberty.
