Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1413
Since Mrs. Lewis came all the way and said such words, Duncan could not stay any longer.
Serenity personally escorted Mrs. Lewis out of the ward.
She stood at the door of the ward and watched Mrs. Lewis and Duncan walk away.
After a long time, she sighed and turned back in with Zachary. She looked at her sleeping sister with worry.
Zachary held her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, “Seren, everything will be fine. We don’t have to worry too much.”
As long as Duncan realized his feelings, Zachary believed that he could convince his parents to let him be together with Liberty.
“Besides, your sister isn’t interested in Duncan in that way. Duncan liking your sister is his. business, and there’s no guarantee
that your sister will accept him. Let’s see how it goes for now.”
Serenity leaned on his shoulder and said softly, “Putting aside Mr. Lewis’s status, he’s a good man. If my sister wants to remarry,
I’m very much in favor of them getting together, not because of Mr. Lewis’s status but his sense of responsibility.”
Duncan and Hank were two different kinds of people.
“You’re right, but it’s still too early to talk about that. Liberty hasn’t even thought of remarrying.‘
Now, Serenity just wanted her sister to get better. There was no need to rush emotional matters.
Although Mrs. Lewis took her youngest son out of the hospital, she did not let him drive. The mother and son rode in the same
car back home while Duncan’s car was driven by his bodyguard.
Her expression was dark along the way.
She looked at Duncan and saw his calm expression. It was as if he would be unfazed even if the sky were to fall. Mrs. Lewis
grew angry at that face.
She could not help but slap Duncan’s arm.
Duncan looked at his mother in dismay upon being hit and asked in confusion, “Why did you hit me, Mom? Were you trying to hit
a large mosquito on my arm?”

“What’s wrong with you? You never bat an eye on any of the ladies in our circle, but you took al fancy to a divorcee like Liberty
instead! Putting aside the fact that she has a son, even if she hasn’t married before, I still won’t accept her as my daughter–in–
law.”
In the end, her greatest fear came true.
The problem lay with her son.
Liberty had no interest in Duncan.
Mrs. Lewis was furious and wanted to scold someone. She wanted to do something to Liberty, but Liberty could not be blamed
for this matter. No matter how proud she was, she was a reasonable woman. Since the problem was with her son, she could only
direct her anger at him.
If she went to Liberty, Liberty might even ask her to take care of her son.
Duncan said, “I think I have a good eye. Liberty is a good woman, so I took a fancy to her. What’s wrong with that? So what if
she’s a divorced single mother? At first, I was just in it for Sonny. That child is cute and clever, just like me...”
His mother smacked him again before he could finish his sentence.
Mrs. Lewis yelled, “Where’s your shame? Do you even feel shameful? Sonny’s last name is Brown. How could Sonny Brown be
just like you? Bah, you’re shameless! If he really was your flesh and blood, for the sake of my grandson, I’d accept Liberty no
matter how much I dislike her, but is Sonny yours?”
Duncan grumbled, “I just said that Sonny is smart like me. I didn’t say that he was mine. I wish he was, but unfortunately, he isn’t.
However, it’s fine. It’s the same if I become his stepdad. A stepdad is also a dad. If I treat him well, he’ll accept me as his father.”
