Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1623
Duncan was embarrassed because of Sonny’s words, and so was Liberty.
She turned her gaze to Duncan.
Duncan grinned at her.
Liberty was speechless. She kept quiet, thinking about how to answer her son’s question.
“Mom.”
Sonny’s childish voice rang out again.
“Mommy, do you disagree?”
“Sonny.”
Liberty said tenderly, “You already have a father. Dunc is your uncle, and he’ll forever be youruncle.”
“Liberty.”
Duncan called her.
“Mr. Lewis, Sonny is still young and immature. Don’t say these things to him. Sonny isn’t the one to decide on my life.”
Liberty was solemn when she spoke.
Duncan said apologetically, “Liberty, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said these things to Sonny at this point. But my feelings for you
are real, Liberty. I’m genuinely fond of Sonny and will treat him like my biological son.”
“Mr. Lewis, as I said, I don’t want to get into a relationship now.”
In Duncan’s face, Liberty said composedly, “Mr. Lewis, I hope you can understand. I also hope that you’ll forget about it. We’re
not a suitable match for each other.”
Mrs. Lewis was right. She would still disapprove of Liberty even if she reluctantly consented to her son being with Liberty. She
and Liberty would continue to argue after Liberty wed into the family.

Liberty could not change her background.
Moreover, she truly had no intention of remarrying.
As she had expressed to Old Mrs. York, she felt that marriage did not bring her happiness. Instead, all she experienced were
hurt and misery. She showed devotion and made sacrifices, only to be betrayed.
She had already endured marital hardship. Why would she wish to get caught once more now that she has successfully
escaped?She was still capable of surviving at this point without a man.
“Why aren’t we a suitable match for each other? Liberty, what did my mom tell you? Did she force you to stay away from me?”
“Mrs. Lewis didn’t say anything much. I’m the one who thinks that we’re not a suitable match. Mr. Lewis, I’m grateful for your
kindness, but I don’t love you. I can’t accept you, just like how you can’t accept Ms. Harmon.”
Duncan opened his mouth, yet he did not know how to refute her.
He did not have a glib tongue as Josh did. In the face of his beloved woman, his speaking skills became worse. He could never
find the right words to say and convey his message.
He used the most direct way to tell Liberty that he loved her and was going after her. He told her that he was keen on marrying
her and not playing games with her feelings.
“Mr. Lewis, thank you for helping me to look after Sonny. I’ll take Sonny home first.”
While speaking, Liberty carried her son and walked away.
She walked toward her e–bike and placed her son in the front of her seat. She rode the bike and left the mall shortly.
Duncan did not stop her or go after her. He stood frozen on the spot, silently watching Liberty leave. Liberty and Sonny’s figures
soon blended in with the darkness of the night.
After Liberty returned to her rented house with her son, she took the car key and held her son’s hand. She said to him, “Sonny,
I’ll send you to Aunt Ser’s house.”
“Mom.”

Sonny was merely three years old. He could not understand most of the things adults said, but he was able to watch and
interpret people’s expressions.
His mother was unhappy.
He hugged Liberty’s leg and looked up with fear glimmering in his dark eyes. He was worried that he made his mother unhappy.
“Mom, did I do anything wrong?” the kid asked in fear.
Liberty squatted and hugged her son. After that, she let go of him.
“Sonny, you didn’t.” She said gently, “You’re right. You already have a father. We shouldn’t be greedy. You shouldn’t have two
fathers.”
“But you started feeling unhappy after I asked you that question. You also didn’t seem friendly to Dunc. Mom, I like Dunc, but
he’s not my father.”
Sonny already had a father.
