Seeing the York brothers walking over, the Lewis familyโs bodyguardsโ heads hurt.โMr. York.โThe bodyguards bit the bullet and stepped forward to stop Zachary and the others from advancing. One of them said apologetically, โMr. York, Mr. Duncan doesnโt want to meet you all. Please leave.โThey did not want to be put in a difficult spot. Zachary said with a deep voice, โIs Duncan awake?โโHe is, but he doesnโt have an appetite and refuses breakfast. Whether the food was delivered from home or Ms. Liberty, he wouldnโt eat it. He even knocked over the breakfast Ms. Liberty brought.โMr. and Mrs. Lewis are inside trying to persuade Mr. Duncan to eat something. Heโs in a terrible mood now.โThe bodyguards said all that in hopes that Zachary and the rest would leave and not put them in a difficult spot. Actually, they wished Mr. Duncan would meet his friends and stop lying on the bed and driving himself into a dead end. Unfortunately, Mr. Duncan would not listen to Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. Lewis felt upset listening to his son yelling. Criticisms could no longer leave his mouth.Duncan was tall and massive. He looked like a rough man. After having lain in the hospital for over ten days, he had gotten thinner. People who were concerned about him would feel sad upon seeing his state. He could not stand and lacked the spirit and vigor he used to have. Even his gaze had lost its usual sparkle, replaced with despair. The doctor said that Duncanโs full recovery depended on whether he could reignite his confidence and persist in treating his legs and undergoing physiotherapy. It would be a long journey. There was a possibility that he would not make any progress even after time passed, and that could easily break someoneโs spirits. โDarling, stop scolding Duncan.โMrs. Lewis persuaded her husband, โItโs my fault. I insisted on feeding him even though he said he wasnโt hungry.โShe wanted to take all the blame. Duncan watched his mother and averted his gaz

Serenity supported Mrs. Lewis and brought her to sit on a chair nearby. โDuncan doesnโt want to meet anybody. If he doesnโt communicate, bottling his emotions and driving himself into a dead end, then how can he recover?โ Mrs. Lewis wiped her tears. She apologized to the York brothers, โZack, Callum, donโt blame Duncan. He refuses to see anyone now. He wouldnโt even meet his brothers when they came and stopped them from entering the ward.โHis sisters-in-law would bring some nutritious stew over. While the stew could enter the ward, his sisters-in-law were not allowed. He thinks everyone he sees pities him. Even if itโs just a word of concern, heโll think the same.โMrs. Lewisโs tears were unstoppable. Her youngest son had always given her the impression that he was strong. She did not know what to do about his mental breakdown. The Lewis familyโs elders had visited, but Duncan would not listen to anything. He even refused to meet his best friends, Zachary and Josh. He did no

After everyone comforted Mrs. Lewis and passed their gifts to the bodyguards to be brought into the ward, Zachary and the others had no choice but to leave the hospital. Mrs. Lewis saw everyone off to the elevator. She only left after watching them enter. When she returned to the ward, she stood at the door momentarily before going inside. Duncan was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. No one knew what he was thinking. โHas Zachary and the rest left?โ Mr. Lewis asked softly.โThey can only leave because Duncan doesnโt want to meet them.โMrs. Lewis sighed. She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at her son. After some time, she said gently, โDuncan, everyone is here to see you because theyโre concerned about you and not pitying you. Stop overthinking, okay?โDuncan closed his eyes. Obviously, he did not want to listen to his mother talking. Mrs. Lewisโs heart ached. After Duncanโs grandmother had passed away, her sonโs life went back on

โMrs. Lewis.โUpon seeing Mrs. Lewis entering, Liberty quickly stood up to greet her even though she had just sat down. Mrs. Lewis gave a lukewarm reply. When she saw no customers in the diner, she said gently, โLiberty, can I treat you to coffee at a nearby cafe?โLiberty smiled. โOkay.โShe removed her apron. After storing it properly, she told her two employees, โYou two can pack up first. Iโm stepping out for a while. Please help me look after Sonny when Jim sends him back later.โLiberty was not planning to keep the diner open for the whole day. She wanted to take a look at a restaurant on Westring Avenue 2. The business was not great and it had been suffering losses every month. The boss was planning to sell the restaurant. The location of the restaurant was not bad with quite a number of people dining there. Was the business not doing well because of the bossโs incompetency in management or the chefโs substandard cooking skills?Liberty wanted to know more about the s

Mrs. Lewis continued, โLiberty, donโt take Duncanโs words to heart. Heโsโฆ Like a porcupine now, covered with sharp quills. He wouldnโt meet anyone who went to visit him. He said everyone came out of pity.โโMrs. Lewis, I wonโt blame Mr. Duncan.โLiberty withdrew her hand softly. She was not used to Mrs. Lewis holding her hand in such an intimate manner. โLiberty, I came to see you because I need your help.โMrs. Lewis raised the subject. She watched Liberty with pleading eyes and said, โLiberty, weโre all sad because of Duncanโs state, but weโre unable to persuade him.โHe loves you a lot. He doesnโt want to meet you lately because he feels inferior. He thinks heโs disabled and doesnโt wish to be a burden to you. Thatโs why he refuses to see you.โLiberty listened to Mrs. Lewis speak without saying a word. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lewis said, โLiberty, I would like you to take care of Duncan and help him to regain his confidence so he can persist in physiotherapy even

โLiberty, you shouldnโt think ten thousand dollars daily is too much. Duncan has a terrible temper now. Heโll throw tantrums frequently and toss things around. We can tolerate him because weโre his parents, and I was the one who caused him to be involved in the accident.โIf it were other people, who would be willing to be on the receiving end of Duncanโs anger? Even if we offer a sky-high salary to hire a caregiver for him, no oneโs willing to earn that money. Heโs really difficult to take care of now.โMrs. Lewis thought spending over three hundred thousand dollars a month to hire Liberty to care for Duncan was not expensive at all. She was willing to spend any amount of money as long as her son could get better. Three hundred thousand dollars was the price of one bag of hers. Some of her handbags were even worth more than that. Mrs. Lewis thought paying ten thousand dollars per day was not a lot, but Liberty thought it was too much. Her business was booming, but even the max

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tonyโs call as he walked toward his car.โHey, Pops.โโHowโs it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?โTony was still in Carrieโs room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistressโa tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottomโs place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someoneโs schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, โItโs all thanks to Ms. Isabellaโs guidance.โHe felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.โAfter eating the sweets, I feel much better.โ Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.โJust ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me. They donโt have the same resolve as we do.โShe, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.โEvery time I see hi

Austin replied, โBoth Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. Itโs really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.โSometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, โPhillip is just afraid heโll get here too late and that youโll assume heโs not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.โThe house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabellaโs room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, โAre you up yet, Ms. Isabella? Itโs time to have breakfast.โIsabella w

Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabellaโs private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austinโs cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louisโs place with his bag. โAustin.โLouis suddenly asked, โDid my sister come back last n

Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austinโs perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancรฉes. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancรฉe. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve
