NovelEnglishChapter 968 Grandma May put down her fork. She was full.
Duncan agreed. “Yes, Sonny is indeed smart.” “Then why are you buying windmills for him? If you want to buy toys, then buy him seducational toys. There’s no ty if you only buy him windmills. Can't you see how he’s more interested in his food?” Her grandson and his friend were two peas in a pod.
Josh was the exception. His mouth was as crafty as Kevin's.
Grandma May was not sure if Duncan was interested in Liberty, but she could tell that he was trying to appeal to Sonny. It looked like he was trying to make Sonny call him “Dad”.

He smiled sheepishly and said, “I've never had a child before, so | don’t know what toys children like. Sonny was very happy the last t| gave him a windmill and even lethold him. | thought he liked windmills, so | bought another one for him.” Grandma May was speechless.
Did Duncan not know what change meant? She wondered if her old friend, Old Mrs. Lewis, was angered to death by her grandson, Duncan.
Her nine grandchildren were enough to give her a headache. However, compared to Duncan, she felt that her grandsons were all much better than him.
No comparison, no despair.
Seeing how awkward Duncan was, Liberty helped her son take the windmill from Duncan’s hand and said with a smile, “Sonny still likes playing with windmills. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.” She motioned for her son to thank Duncan.
Sonny finished all the food in his bowl. After putting down the bowl, he wiped the grease on his mouth with a napkin. Then, he took the windmill from his mother and politely thanked Duncan. “Thank you.” Duncan smiled. “You're welcome. If you like it, I'll buy more for you next time.” Sonny quickly said, “I already have lots of toys. | don’t need more.” Ever since Elisa often bought him many interesting new toys, he had no shortage of toys.
Duncan looked around the store again and said, “It looks good, Liberty. It's very bright. Business will definitely be booming.” “I'l work hard.” Liberty turned to the cashier's desk, opened the drawer with a key, and took out a stack of money before handing it to Duncan.
“This is the rent for this month, Mr. Lewis. | wanted to hand it to your housekeeper, but I'll give it to you since you're already here.
You can tell the housekeeper that | paid you the rent straight.” Under Grandma May’s watchful eyes, Duncan took the pile of money with a cool look. “Is this inclusive of the utility bills?” “Yes.” Duncan hummed and started counting the money up front.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandma May muttered in her heart, ‘Have | grown old? Am | just deluding myself? ‘Maybe Duncan has no interest in Liberty, and their relationship is purely one between a landlord and tenant?" Liberty had lost dozens of pounds. Although she could not be considered thin, she lost a lot of weight compared to before the divorce. Now, she just looked chubby.
She was still exercising to lose weight. Grandma May believed that in a few months, she would be able to regain her slim figure and beauty.
Duncan had a scar on his face, and his character was rough, so he was still single at the age of thirty-six. Other men his age would have two children already, but he had not even touched a woman's hand before.
His mother was worried about his marriage, but there was no follow-up whenever she arranged for Duncan to go on dates. She was furious but could do nothing about it.
Duncan relied on himself instead of his family to get to where he was. Thus, his mother had no way to pressure him.
After counting the money, Duncan took out his phone and called the housekeeper to ask about the utility bills for Liberty's store.
He did not notice the frustrated look that Grandma May was shooting at him.
