Chapter 3355
"I think Sonny's holiday starts next Tuesday. I can take him to Jensburg during that period, and we can return to Wiltspoon together once you're on leave.
"Let's have a look at some houses when I go over. We should buy one since you'll be developing your business there. That way, we don't have to stay in a hotel whenever we visit."
Liberty said, "I don't think we have to buy a house now. We can consider it after my business is more stable. Besides, I don't have that much money for it now. I might have enough for an apartment though."
However, Duncan probably disliked living in an apartment.
Sonny was still young too. If they were to live in an apartment, their neighbors would probably complain when Sonny ran around at home.
Liberty often received complaints from her neighbor downstairs before her divorce.
Whenever that happened, Hank would tell her to keep an eye on Sonny and stop him from making noises.
Telling a clueless child to stay quiet was impossible.
Even adults made sounds whenever they chopped ingredients or walked in high heels, which would annoy neighbors downstairs.
Things got better when Liberty and Sonny moved out and lived in their own rented unit. It was before she bought Zachary's villa and Sonny was already in preschool. The boy would usually bathe and sleep right upon returning home after he got off school and went to a few places. He barely affected others.
Duncan was used to living in a huge villa. Liberty knew he must have meant a villa instead of an apartment when he mentioned buying a house. However, she truly did not have much money left to buy one.
Her company was just established not long ago. Although she had secured many deals, she had yet to receive a loan. She injected her own money to ensure the company could operate as usual.
As a shareholder, she had to invest as well.
Besides, she had just bought the villa in Wiltspoon and had no thoughts of getting another house.
Duncan said, “You don't have to pay. I'll buy the house. We'll be a family once we get married. The house will be our safe space in Jensburg."
They could not register their marriage until next year.
Once they did, they would officially become husband and wife. Naturally, Duncan wanted to live in their home instead of a hotel whenever he visited Jensburg with Sonny.
They could live happily as a family of three.
Just thinking about it made Duncan feel content.
"Since it'll be our house, your preferences are important."

After a moment of silence, Liberty said, "Sonny will be visiting Laurence in Annenburg once his vacation starts. We can discuss getting a house next year. Besides, there's not much time left until the year ends. The timeline is too tight. We need to look for a suitable house.
"Is Sonny going to Annenburg? I thought he'd be eager to visit you once winter break starts."
Duncan laughed. "I guess that rascal had only thought of having fun and forgotten all about his mom."
Liberty smiled. “Jensburg is too cold. Sonny might find the snow interesting while on a short trip, but he'd find this place too cold after living here for some time. He'd feel bored staying at home too."
As a young kid, there was no way Sonny could sit still at home every day.
However, it would be too cold to play outside in Jensburg.
Therefore, he did not think of going over.
"I don't want Sonny to come either. Even if you're here to look after him for me, I'll still be distracted and won't be able to focus on my work. I'm swamped as the year is ending."
Duncan understood. "I'll go over after wrapping up my company's matters. Since Sonny's visiting his friend, we can spend time together, just the two of us."
Liberty blushed. Of course, Duncan could not see it.
“Didn't you agree to wait for my
return? You don't have to come over.
We're both busy with our
companies. Even if you're here, I can
only share meals with you. I usually come home late into the night."
Liberty's company was new, and to top it off, their competitor Fisher Group was observing and making things difficult for her. She was under a lot of pressure.
Duncan replied, "I don't need you to
accompany me. I can even help manage your company. I'll do the overseeing whenever you're out for negotiations. Besides, I'm an investor myself, so it's somewhat my company too." Content belongs
Liberty laughed. "Okay. You can come over if you want to. However, you must promise me that you'll continue going for physiotherapy even when you're here."
"That's for sure. I even wished I could recover fully now. That way, we can have our wedding right after getting our marriage license."
