Lily held her cup and took a sip of coffee elegantly. After that, she smiled at Duncan and said, ” You’re
such an honest person. Your words do hurt my pride.
“Can you tell me why you fell in love with Liberty? She’s divorced and has a three–year–old son. She
isn’t even on equal social status as you. I just wish to know how I lost so I can overcome my
shortcomings…”
“To be honest, I have no idea either. I didn’t even know I had romantic feelings for Liberty. I only
realized I had unconsciously developed those feelings after the panic, fear, and heartache I felt after
she got hurt.
“I don’t care that she’s divorced. I don’t mind that she has a son too. I like Sonny. As for social status…
I don’t care about it. However, I won’t confess for now to not make her feel pressured. I’m willing to wait
for her for two to three years and confess to her after her career takes off.”
Duncan thought he would have higher chances of succeeding if he confessed to Liberty after her
business flourished.
It was because Liberty would have become a confident and strong woman by that time.
Lily gazed at Duncan with shock and regret.
She thought she could still try and strive for a chance. However, upon hearing Duncan’s words, she
thought of giving up trying. The thoughts he had were entirely out of consideration for Liberty. When a
man considered so much for a woman, it could only mean that he had deeply fallen in love. with her.
Duncan was thirty–six. Many at his age already had a child or two, so he could be considered a ”
leftover man“. Nevertheless, he was willing to wait for Liberty for a few years not to marry her but to
confess to her.
It was uncertain whether Liberty would accept him if he confessed after she became successful. Even if
he could win her over in the end, it would probably take some time, which could range from half a year
to one year at least, or three to five years at most.
Duncan was willing to wait anyway.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Harmon.”
Duncan said apologetically, “Your time was wasted because of my mother’s fondness for you.”
Lily drank her coffee again. After some time, she said, “You didn’t waste my time, Duncan. I traveled to
Wiltspoon on a business trip. I’m here to survey the market and work with mega- corporations in
Willspoon.
“I came here for business, but I stayed in your house because of the friendship between Mrs. Lewis
and my mom. I’m reuniting with Mrs. Lewis in my mom’s stead. I lived in your house. because of our
parents‘ relationship, not because of you. You didn’t waste my time. I’ll return after successfully
negotiating a deal with the business tycoons of Wiltspoon.
“You don’t have to feel sorry for me. You didn’t do me any wrong.”
After a moment of silence, Duncan said, “No wonder my mom likes you so much, Ms. Harmon. You’re
truly a considerate lady.”
Lily smiled confidently and said, “I think I’m outstanding too. I admit that I wanted to develop our
relationship to being a couple and even husband and wife. I admire you, but you already have
someone you like. Let’s just be business partners in the future.
“I’ve lost, and I accept it. You’ve spent a lot of time with Liberty since long ago. I was the one who came
afterward. Timing was just not on my side. I think you would’ve fallen in love with me if I had come here
before you met Liberty.”
Lily accepted that she could not gain Duncan’s fancy, but she also felt regretful.
There were few men whom she would admire and be willing to marry.
She was satisfied with Duncan, but sadly, her feelings were not reciprocated. They were not fated to
be.
Both of them did not like to force things.
Duncan did not reply.
There were no ifs.
There was no “if only I had known earlier.”
His feelings for Liberty were unexpected, even to himself.
It was surprising.
“I’ll still live in your house, Duncan. I’ll also pretend in front of Mrs. Lewis and make her think I’m still
trying my best to woo you. I already told her not to meddle in our affairs.”
If Lily backed out immediately, Mrs. Lewis would definitely do something.
