“Go ahead, Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lewis looked at the beautiful appearance of Liberty who had successfully lost weight, then she praised her by
saying, “Liberty, you bear a passing resemblance to Mrs. Stone when she was younger. She was a beautiful career
woman back then. Many elders wanted her to be their daughter-in-law.

When Stone Group got into trouble, Mrs. Stone was the one who went all out to save the company from crisis. It
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas only then that Old Mrs. Stone accepted Mrs. Stone wholeheartedly.
Elisa mentioned that when her mother just married into the Stone family, her grandmother made things difficult for
her mother.
Liberty smiled before she said, “Considering that Aunt Audrey and my mom are biological sisters, it’s unsurprising
that they both look similar. I look like my mom, so I bear a passing resemblance to Aunt Audrey as well.”
At the mention of her mother, Mrs. Lewis recalled that Liberty’s parents had both passed away. Liberty also had
many outrageous relatives in her hometown who were orphans.
“Liberty, do you like Duncan now?”
All of a sudden, Mrs. Lewis asked.
Liberty had long guessed Mrs. Lewis’s intention of asking her out.
Without the slightest hesitation, she answered frankly, “Mrs. Lewis, I’ve always treated Mr. Lewis as my landlord and
friend. I have no interest in him. I don’t hate him, but that doesn’t mean I love him.”
Mrs. Lewis stared intently at Liberty.
Having been in a wealthy family for decades, Mrs. Lewis was a good judge of character. She could tell that Liberty
was telling the truth.
Liberty’s gaze was pure.
If she were lying, she would not have met Mrs. Lewis’s eyes openly. Liberty was not so crafty yet, was she?
“I trust you, Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis’s voice became gentle.
“But Duncan likes you. He’s stubborn. No matter how I advise him, he won’t listen to me and continue to like you.”
Obviously, Mrs. Lewis was trying to tell Liberty that she would not accept Liberty as her daughter-in-law.
After a moment of silence, Liberty replied, “Mrs. Lewis, when Mr. Lewis confessed his love to me, I rejected him.
He’s still pursuing me, but I’m not accepting him. His love for me isn’t something that I can control.”
Indeed, there was nothing she could do about it.
She was not interested in Duncan. It was Duncan’s business to fall in love with her.
“Mrs. Lewis, you can try to talk to Mr. Lewis about it. I’m grateful for his feelings for me, but I don’t plan to remarry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhenever I think of my broken marriage, I’ll shake with fear. Now that I’ve finally gotten over it and my life is back
on track, I don’t want to be trapped in the tomb of love again.”
Some people analogized marriage to the tomb of love with women buried inside.
“Mrs. Lewis, you can arrange for Mr. Lewis to meet and interact with other rich young ladies. As Mr. Lewis
interacted with more women, he’ll realize that there are a lot more ladies out there who are better than
me and suit him more.”
Those from the same circle as Mr. Lewis would match him well.
Mrs. Lewis sighed.
“Liberty, to be frank, I’ve started to worry about Duncan since he turned thirty. I arranged many blind dates for him
in a year, but he didn’t want to meet any of the girls. He’s independent and obstinate. I really can’t do anything
about it.
“Lily is my best friend’s daughter. Although she’s not from Wiltspoon, the Harmons are considered wealthy. Lily
might be slightly younger than Duncan, but they’re well-matched. Also, both our families planned to be related by
marriage.
“As you can see, it turned out that Lily had let go of Duncan.”
While speaking, Mrs. Lewis kept moaning and sighing.
She desperately wanted to make Lily her daughter-in-law.
