Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1269

Lily steered the wheel while remarking, “Which is why I said that the Hunt sisters have very good characters. Considering how Liberty’s marriage had just fallen through, I doubt she would be looking for a new relationship so soon.

“The only thing she’s focused on now is starting her business and making money. Another marriage has probably never even crossed her mind yet.”

People who had experienced a failed marriage tend to be more vigilant when it came to founding a new relationship with another.

Since her mind was fixed on building a foundation for her business, romantic affairs should not concern her in the least. Mrs. Lewis stated, “If she dares to hatch any ideas about Duncan, I’ll be the one chasing her out of the shop lot first. Don’t even think about setting up her restaurant at our property. It doesn’t seem like she’s up to anything now but I still feel strangely suspicious about her, like something’s going to happen between her and Duncan later on.”

“You can deal with it when it happens, too much precaution can be a bad thing sometimes. Besides, you have to factor in that she’s not all alone. Her sister is the lady of the York household so Liberty has the entire York family backing her. You’ve seen how Tania is so protective of Serenity even when she is not very fond of her.”

Mrs. Lewis agreed with Lily’s sentiments. “The Yorks have a close relationship with my family as well, so I certainly cannot brashly shove Liberty out the door just because I wanted to. Otherwise, I’ll risk offending the Yorks. Also, Liberty’s aunt, Mrs. Stone, is not someone I want to mess with.”
