Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 3169

After a moment of silence, Duncan admitted, “Yeah. Everyone has dreams, but you've never told me about having a dream like this before. Did you dream about that last night because you were worrying about our relationship before falling asleep?

“Or did someone say something to you to make you anxious?”

Liberty dismissed with a laugh, “No way. Who would say anything to me? I'm not in Wiltspoon, anyway. Even if you do have admirers, they'd have to wait for me to get back to get to me.

"I just inexplicably had a dream and told you. What I want to know is if you've unconsciously stolen someone’s heart.”

Zachary had not told Duncan that Serenity suspected Rhea Torres was interested in him. Liberty was even less likely to tell him.

How could she say that without proof and cause trouble for her sister? However, she trusted Serenity’s intuition. Rhea might really be interested in Duncan and he had no clue.

Serenity told her that Rhea'’s husband, Victor Torres, passed away a long time ago, leaving a son behind who was now around nine years old. Victor was the only son and when he passed, his parents were not in good health and his son was very young.

To avoid their relatives trying to cut themselves a piece of the pie, Rhea had to take over all the businesses Victor left behind, though she took a few years to stabilize the situation. Now, she was considered an iron lady.

It was normal for a single mother who also had to take care of her in- laws while managing a business to want a companion to lean on to relieve her stress and tiredness.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

However, the Torreses were considered a rich family with plentiful assets. If she found someone new, she would worry that they were a gold digger.

She had to find someone capable with good character, and preferably of a similar background. That way, he would not be a gold digger. However, out of Wiltspoon's handsome and outstanding men, only a few fit Rhea's conditions. Duncan was among the few. He was unmarried, but older than Rhea, was of good character, capable, from a powerful family, and had a net worth in the billions.

If he were to be with Rhea, it would not be for her money.

Despite that, Duncan was still in a wheelchair and all of Wiltspoon knew that he loved Liberty deeply.

Rhea had not made her interest known and had not dared reveal too much of it either.

Duncan hurriedly denied, “I didn't! I hardly ever interact with unmarried ladies. All the women I have to deal with for business are married.” Recently, Rhea was the only woman in talks with him for a project, but Rhea was married and her son was in elementary school. Although her husband was deceased, Rhea often spent time at her in-laws’ and had taken up the heavy burden her husband had left behind to support them.

Duncan was actually quite appreciative of her ruthlessness.

It was necessary for a widow to stand firmly in the cruel world of business.

“Liberty, I only have eyes for you. We've been through so much and my feelings for you are as clear as day. I love you and only you forever.” Liberty giggled. “I trust you, Duncan. And I'm not worried about rivals either. If I have rivals, that's evidence I have the good taste to pick someone outstanding like you. Outstanding people always have a lot of admirers regardless of gender.

“And I trust that no one can take someone who truly loves you away.” Liberty really had not been worried about rivals.

Even if Rhea openly confessed to Duncan and publicly announced it, she would not be afraid.

Rhea was much stronger than Liberty was, but Liberty had Duncan's love as she slowly climbed the ladder.

“Don’t take the dream to heart. It's just a dream, and besides, it's my dream. If anyone should worry, it should be me.”

Duncan was silent for a moment before he suddenly said, “Liberty, let's get married before the year ends.”
