Mrs. Lewis felt like she was going to explode from anger.
They were not together yet, but Duncan already wanted to be Sonny’s father.
Was Hank dead?
“Duncan, I’m telling you, I don’t accept Liberty. I won’t allow you to be with her! She’s divorced and has a child. You’re from completely different worlds. The right person for you is a strong and capable woman from an influential family, someone like Lily.
“Putting aside the Lewis family, even if we just look at your own achievements, don’t you think that Liberty is still unworthy of you?
“You’re the CEO of Lewis & Co., and she’s just the owner of a small breakfast diner. Even the store she rents belongs to you. You two are worlds apart. That’s not me looking down on her. It’s the truth. Duncan, both families have to be well-matched in social status in a marriage. You and Liberty are not suitable for each other.
“You should give up on her and go out with Lily. Didn’t you have a great time chatting with her during the Marshall family’s banquet? When you danced together, you were like a match made in heaven.”
Duncan left his family so that they could not control him. Thus, when it came to marriage, he naturally only considered his own feelings and did not want to be bound by his family and parents. novelbin
He said firmly, “Mom, it’s my marriage and my decision. I’m the one marrying someone, not you. If I think Liberty is suitable for me, then she is. I don’t think she’s unworthy of me. If anything, I’m the unworthy one. I’m old and ugly. Besides having more money than she does, in what way am I
better than her?
“Even if she’s divorced, she’s several years younger than me. She’s like a blooming flower at the peak of its beauty now. As for me, my face is fierce and full of scars. I can scare a child to tears even without makeup, and I’m almost forty. I’m not worthy of her.”
Mrs. Lewis reached out to pinch his face. “Your face is fierce? Which part is fierce? Even if you have scars, you’re still handsome! Do you think I’ll give you two my blessings if you put yourself down? In your dreams!”
“Why would I need your approval for my business? If you like Liberty and can accept her, we’ll bring Sonny home often to see you and keep you company after we get married. If you don’t like her, the three of us can live happily in one of the many houses I have. We won’t affect you.”
Mrs. Lewis was speechless.
Duncan was used to being independent.
He felt that his liking for Liberty was his business. Whether or not he could marry Liberty in the future was also his business. There was no need for his parents to interfere.
If his parents could accept her, he would bring her home often to accompany them.
If they could not accept her, he would go back himself. He would not take his wife and child back
to be disdained by his parents.
In short, his marriage, his decision!
“Besides, Liberty still doesn’t like me. Look at your son, Mom. Even Liberty doesn’t like me. How can you disdain her? If there’s anyone you should disdain, it’s me. If Liberty is willing to accept me, marry
me, and put an end to my life as a bachelor, you should be grateful to her instead.
“Your undesirable youngest son will finally be sold off, so you should give Liberty lots and lots of money as payment to prevent her from returning the goods.”
Mrs. Lewis was speechless.
She glared at her son and opened her mouth several times to say something, but no words came
out.
She was furious.
This son could really piss her off to the point of vomiting blood.
“Mom, I just don’t feel a spark with Lily. You can’t force emotions. I don’t love Lily, so I won’t force myself to be with her. You should talk to Lily and stop wasting her time.”
Mrs. Lewis stared at him for a long time before saying, “Unless hell freezes over and pigs start to fly, I’ll never agree to you and Liberty being together!”
