Chapter 1438

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.
