NovelEnglishChapter 3011 | Taking advantage of the inattention of the people surrounding them, Duncan pulled Liberty’s hand to his lips, kissing the back of her hand before dropping another kiss on her palm.
Liberty quickly withdrew her hand, a hot flush on her face.
It was dark in the movie theater and no one was looking at her, so no one saw her sudden blush.
“Duncan, be serious,” she whispered in admonishment.
Duncan was a rugged man who was also the bold type.
When he flirted with her, he could easily make her blush.
Before him, she was just like a young girl.
Serenity said that her sister was experiencing her second youth.

“Liberty, in the future, when you want to relax, just let me know. It doesn’t matter if it’s to go shopping, watch a movie, or go traveling—no matter how busy I'am, I'll drop everything right away to go to you.
“Work is important, but your happiness is more important.
“It’s not like I need the money. I earned so much money in the past that I couldn’t spend it all even if I tried.
Work is just a way to pass the time and
earn a bit of pocket money.
“Yours and Sonny’s happiness is the most important thing to me.” Liberty could not help but comment, “What you call pocket money is an amount normal people wouldn’t even be able to earn in their whole lifetime.
Duncan, I seriously suspect you're just showing off right now.” She had opened a breakfast diner and a restaurant. As business was good, she earned quite a lot of profit each month.
Setting aside comparisons to anyone else, even the profit she earned from her food businesses could not compare to a single percent of what Duncan earned.
Sigh— comparison truly was the thief of joy.
She had to work super hard and get up at the crack of dawn to earn that much, let alone ordinary workers. = Of course, Duncan had managed to earn so much thanks to the hard work he had put in in the early years.
He had struggled in the business world for over a decade before getting to where he was today.
Duncan chuckled, “Once you reach a certain level of wealth, however much money you earn just looks like a series of numbers to you.
“You don’t feel anything.” Liberty said, “If you don’t feel anything, you should withdraw a few million in cash and mess the piles up before counting them note by note until your hands feel tired. Then, you’ll |
feel something.” After a thoughtful moment, Duncan said approvingly, “Liberty, that’s not a bad idea. The next time you come back to Wiltspoon, I'll withdraw a few million dollars in cash and we can count the money together until our hands are tired. Then, we'll feel it.
“It’ll give me the motivation to earn even more money too. I want to let my beloved count her money until her hands are tired.” Liberty was speechless.
She looked at him, at a total loss for words.
Duncan chuckled mischievously and opened the bag containing the snacks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe took out a packet of popcorn and offered it to Liberty.
“It’s fun to eat popcorn while watching amovie.” Liberty accepted it. “I'm scared I'll get a sore throat from eating such dry snacks.
“Although, after coming to Jensburg, I feel like I don’t get sore throats from eating dry foods and oily foods as easily. Maybe it’s the humidity.” In Wiltspoon, if she ate anything dry or oily, it was easy for her to get a sore throat and sore gums.
“It is the humidity.” Duncan took a packet of popcorn for himself too.
“The movie’s starting,” Liberty said.
It was a horror thriller.
In the past, if Liberty watched movies like this, she would definitely scream in shock. @» : Now, she was much braver and had experienced some dangerous situations. As she watched the movie, she was thoughtful and focused, but not afraid.
From time to time, Duncan even whispered and asked her if she was afraid. If she was, his shoulder was free for her to lean on for comfort.
Liberty seriously suspected Duncan’s bodyguard had bought tickets to a horror movie on purpose to make her dive into Duncan’s embrace when she got scared.
Throughout the movie, only Liberty watched it with great interest.
Duncan’s attention was all gathered on
: her.
