Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 3172

If Duncan was not free, his three elder brothers would make some time to help him handle the company matters so he could focus on his rehabilitation and pursuit of Liberty.

“Alright, let's talk tonight.” Liberty hung up first. Her secretary had knocked on the door to tell her a client had arrived.

She had to personally receive that client. If she could close a deal with them, she needed not to worry about having no orders for the first half of next year.

After Liberty hung up, Duncan pulled his phone away from his ear, but held it in his hand, spacing out.

Zachary leisurely drank his coffee as he looked at Duncan. When Duncan came back to his senses, he met Zachary's gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked, bemused.

“What are you thinking about?” Zachary asked in return. “You went off into outer space.”

“Before the car accident, I was always running after Liberty, but no matter how I promised my sincerity, she had always rejected me, saying she only thought of me as a friend and that she didn’t want to get married again.

“After the accident, I wanted to cut all ties with her, afraid that I would burden her, but my mother asked her to take care of me, which gave me hope again. Zachary, it wasn't easy for Liberty and I to get to this point.

“It was only after I lost the use of my legs that my mother and the rest were willing to accept Liberty. And for a time, Liberty was willing to marry me. She said she would accept as long as I proposed to her. But I didn’t know when I would recover and she was busy too, so I thought I would bring it up again after I recovered and she was no longer as busy.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“But now that I want to get married, she’s changed her mind. Zack, it feels like Liberty and I are never on the same page and are always one step apart.”

Zachary wanted to say that maybe they were not meant to be, but he swallowed the depressing words. It was better not to say that. Duncan was already anxious about it. If he voiced it, Duncan would feel even more heavy-hearted.

Taking Liberty's side, Zachary hoped Liberty would be happy. She was his beloved wife's only sister.

Taking Duncan's side, Zachary hoped his good friend would be happy too.

Out of their trio, Duncan was the only one still single despite being the oldest.

“Zack, what else should I do to strengthen my relationship with Liberty and make her believe in me and herself completely?”

After being questioned, Zachary fell silent for a bit before he spoke. “Duncan, I think you've done great already. You're sincere and genuine. “You don't have to deliberately do anything. Just do as you normally do and talk to Liberty often, visit her when you're free, and help her out when she needs it.

“Spend more time bonding with Sonny. I think Liberty's acceptance of you depends on your sincerity toward Sonny. A divorcee’s main concern when they want to remarry is if their new partner can accept their child and be good to them.

“You've done very well so far, so you don't have to deliberately do anything else. Just stay true to your sincerity.”
