He was trying to catch up on information about pregnancy and understood that pregnant women should be active rather than just resting in bed or remaining seated.
“I’m very relieved.” Audrey felt pleased with Zachary and Serenity.
When her gaze shifted to Liberty, Audrey sighed quietly. Her niece Serenity was fortunate; she found Zachary and enjoyed a happy married life, with Zachary being a devoted husband.
However, Audrey felt distressed about her eldest niece, Liberty.
Liberty had encountered a cruel person. Although her life had improved after her divorce and Duncan genuinely loved her, fate dealt a cruel blow when Duncan was involved in a car accident that resulted in the loss of both his legs. While he was undergoing rehabilitation, it was uncertain when he might fully recover.
Honestly, if Duncan did not regain his mobility, Audrey would not support the idea of Liberty and Duncan being together. Liberty had endured a difficult few years, and Audrey wished for her to experience happiness comparable to Serenity’s for the rest of her life.
Before Duncan’s accident, Mrs. Lewis had opposed the relationship between Duncan and Liberty. However, after Duncan became disabled, Mrs. Lewis pleaded with Liberty to accept her son.
As Liberty’s aunt, Audrey naturally considered her niece’s situation.
Yet, Audrey kept her thoughts to herself. Duncan was diligently working on his rehabilitation, and the doctor had said there was a chance he could stand again and return to a normal life.
Noticing that Liberty had some feelings for Duncan, Audrey thought, Let it be.
“What is Duncan’s current condition?” Audrey asked Liberty gently.
Liberty smiled and replied, “He is doing very well. He does rehabilitation every morning and returns to the company to work in the afternoon. Sometimes he has social activities that he cannot…
Refusing in the evening, Duncan would sometimes invite Liberty to join him for socializing if she was free. Accompanying Duncan occasionally could greatly benefit Liberty; now that she was in the shopping mall, she could learn a lot from these social interactions.
“Well, that’s good. That’s good,” Audrey responded, refraining from asking further questions. She added, “If you ever need assistance, please let me know. As long as I’m alive, I will support you and Serenity as family.”
“Thank you, Aunt. Business at the restaurant and the breakfast shop is thriving right now. Having recovered all my initial investments, I plan to expand the All You Can Eat restaurant, enhance its quality slightly, and open new branches.”
Her ambition was to create a chain restaurant under the All You Can Eat brand. She also intended to invest in building a large hotel in another location, not in Wiltspoon, which was controlled by her brother-in-law’s family. She understood that competing with family was not a viable option; even if she succeeded, it wouldn’t feel rewarding to undermine her own relatives.
She preferred to target other businesses instead. Achieving victory over her competitors, one after another, would provide her with a true sense of accomplishment.
Liberty remarked, “Well, you and Serenity are both very accomplished. I’m relieved to see you thriving in Jensburg.”
Audrey had not lost sight of her desire for revenge against the Farrell family in Jensburg. However, she had been preoccupied with Serenity’s wedding and Alice’s early childbirth, which had delayed her plans for action.
