“It won’t take long to get the certificate. Just return home,” Duncan insisted on obtaining the certificate first.

Once they became a legally recognized couple, Liberty felt a sense of relief.

He is well-known and already has a wife. Women with outside interests should keep their distance from him.

“Duncan, let’s discuss this matter thoroughly when I’m available, and we can consider it during that time.”

“Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so don’t rush into it. As a woman who has been divorced, I must approach my second marriage with caution.”

Duncan understood that Liberty didn’t want to take the certificate with him. Perhaps she was too busy, or maybe her dream had unsettled her, leading her to reconsider.

What she expressed next indicated that her previous failed marriage had left a significant impact on her.

It was clear he hadn’t done enough to reassure her—no love rivals had materialized in reality, yet a dream made Liberty anxious about potential betrayal and reluctant to get the marriage certificate.

“Alright, let’s wait until you’re free. Sonny will soon be on winter break. When that happens, I’ll take him to spend time with you.”

At this point, Zachary interjected, “Sonny just told me yesterday that he wants Serenity to take him to FC Manor to play with Titus during winter vacation. Serenity asked if he wouldn’t go to Jensburg, and he replied that it’s very cold there.”

“My sister will definitely return someday, but Sonny prefers to stay home and wait for her.”

Duncan replied, “You didn’t even mention this to me.”

Zachary smiled and replied, “I didn’t ask you to join him; what was there to tell you?”

As Sonny’s uncle, Zachary still held a strong emotional connection with him. Meanwhile, Duncan was merely Uncle Lewis at this stage, and he had yet to establish a closer bond.

become Sonny’s stepfather.

Duncan was left speechless.

Over the phone, Liberty said, “It’s the end of the year, and all major companies are extremely busy. Duncan, there’s no need for you to come over. Please focus on managing the company’s affairs so you can enjoy a peaceful year. I’ll return when my company has its holiday.”

Liberty was now also in charge. Everyone deserves a break, even if she would rather not take one.

With everyone on holiday and no one working, it was only natural for her, as the boss, to take time off.

Before the annual vacation, Liberty wanted to discuss business matters further and secure more orders to avoid worrying about a lack of tasks after the new year.

“It’s fine. My company has been operating for many years, and the business has remained stable for quite some time. Even if I don’t return for a month, it won’t disrupt normal operations. My management team is very capable. Liberty, you focus on your work. I think someone is knocking on my door. I’ll call you when I’m free this evening.”

Duncan heard Liberty’s knock and decided to stop occupying her time.

Liberty’s Jensburg company was still in the early stages of development. Last weekend, he had taken Sonny to meet Liberty. She explained that the company currently had expenditures but no income.

Even if an order is placed, if the goods haven’t been shipped, there won’t be any refunds. The deposits received are insufficient to cover daily expenses.

She was under immense pressure and questioned whether she could successfully run the company, especially since she had to compete with Farrell’s group. Farrell’s group was intent on preventing Liberty’s business from succeeding, keeping a watchful eye on her every day.

The company is competing with others in the industry.

Lewis & Co. has been established for over ten years, and its business remains stable. He has retained most of the management team since the company’s inception. After more than a decade with the company, he still feels very confident in their abilities.

Even if Duncan is not present, there is no need to worry; his absence won’t go unnoticed.

If he is unavailable, his three brothers will also make time to assist in managing the company, allowing him to focus on his recovery and pursue his wife without any stress.
