Lily held her cup and took a sip of coffee elegantly. After that, she smiled at Duncan and said, ” You’re such an honest person. Your words do hurt my pride.
“Can you tell me why you fell in love with Liberty? She’s divorced and has a three–year–old son. She isn’t even on equal social status as you. I just wish to know how I lost so I can overcome my shortcomings…”

“I don’t care that she’s divorced. I don’t mind that she has a son too. I like Sonny. As for social status… I don’t care about it. However, I won’t confess for now to not make her feel pressured. I’m willing to wait for her for two to three years and confess to her after her career takes off.”
