Sonny tumbled to the ground and cried.
“Sonny.”
Without time to pick up the can of formula that rolled to the middle of the road, Liberty flew to pick up her son and examined him for any injuries.
She asked, “Where does it hurt, Sonny? Do you feel pain anywhere? Tell mama.”
“Mama.”
Sonny bawled and clung to Liberty’s neck, refusing to let go.
He was not hurt, but it was quite a scare.
“Bang!”
It was a loud noise.
Liberty turned her gaze to the source of the noise. A car knocked the can of formula away, but as luck would have it, the can of formula smashed onto the car’s windshield on its way down from the air. The weight of the can and the gravity of the fall cracked the windshield to smithereens.
The driver of the car slammed hard on the brakes.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Sonny stopped crying and latched tightly around the nape of his mother’s neck.
Liberty had a good look at the car’s logo. It was a Porsche!
It was a high–performance sedan!
Uh… Was she supposed to compensate for the car repairs?
When Liberty scratched a Maybach the last time, Mr. Lewis only asked her to pay part of the damages out of respect for her brother
-in–law as her brother–in–law knew the car owner.
Liberty would not be able to afford to pay for the damages this time.
She watched in dismay as the car owner stepped out of the car. The towering and brawny figure looked rather familiar.
Uh… Was it not Mr. Lewis?
Why was it him again?
Talk about coincidence.
Duncan inspected his windshield and concluded that he would need to replace it.
He quickly got the full picture of what had happened when he spotted the tumbling can of formula, Liberty’s overturned stroller on the pavement, and a few packs of diapers plus cans of formula scattered on the ground.
Once he realized that it was Liberty, Duncan could not believe his bad luck. It was this heavy woman every single time!
He turned around and got back into the car.
Thinking that he was going to drive away, Liberty let out a sigh of relief. To her horror, he drove the car to park at the side of the road.
After getting down from the car, Duncan went to pick up the can of formula and came over to turn the stroller upright. He also gathered the diapers and other cans of formula, but since the stroller could not accommodate that much stuff, he placed the packs of diapers against the stroller.
“Ms. Hunt, do you have a grudge against my car? You scratched my car the last time, and now my windshield cracked because of you.”
Duncan had a terrifying presence due to his tall and robust build
and the scar on his face.
Liberty was guilt–ridden and scared.
Holding onto her son, Liberty stuttered, “Mr…. Mr. Lewis… Um… It was an accident… I didn’t… mean it…”
Duncan glared at her.
It made her freak out more. “Mr. Lewis, you can’t blame me for it. You were speeding. Didn’t you see there was something on the road?”
Duncan found it amusing. “Are you saying that I was blind?”
Liberty was without a word.
Many cars drove by, but none hit the can of formula except Duncan. It could only be explained by him driving at high speed.
Since Duncan stepped on the gas, it would probably be too late to hit the brakes or swerve to the side even if he saw the can of
formula.
Liberty tried to justify herself.
Duncan stared at Liberty who clammed up at that point. Since his best friend married Serenity and this plump woman was his best friend’s sister–in–law, Duncan was not going to let Liberty pay for the repairs.
Liberty did not mean for it to happen anyway.
It was partly his fault for driving too fast.
His eyes on her made Liberty nervous. Holding her son tight, Liberty was about to speak when Duncan jumped in with questions. “Why did you get so many things? Can’t you call your husband to help? Maybe don’t get so much stuff all at once.”
“I’m a little far from home, so I called my husband, but he was too busy to pick me up. I thought I should just carry everything home. I didn’t see the brick there, and the stroller flipped over when I bumped into it. I didn’t think you would knock onto the can of formula that rolled out to the road.”
Liberty murmured, “I had to attend to my child since he was crying. I didn’t have time to pick up the things that were scattered on the ground.
“Mr. Lewis, it was an accident this time.”
After a brief silence, she added, “Would you let me pay only half for the repairs? It was an honest mistake, and you were driving too fast. You’re also responsible for what just happened.”
Duncan thought to himself, ‘I only requested that she paid nine thousand bucks for the damages the last time since Zachary called me. To be honest, I had to cover a lot more of the repairs.’
Zachary did not mention that he had married Serenity. Duncan would not have let Liberty pay a dime had he known about the marriage.
Duncan reached out to pick up the diapers.
Liberty stared at him in confusion.
Duncan put all the diapers into his car and came back for the stroller before telling her, “Get into the car. I’ll drive you and your son home.”
The husband of this heavy woman must not be very nice to her.
Despite the wife’s call for help, he was nowhere to be found. Sure, work was important, but was it more important than his wife and child?
If Duncan were in the husband’s shoes, he would be the first on the scene to attend to his wife’s needs.
Nevertheless, Duncan guessed that her husband probably did not take Liberty’s outward appearance too kindly.
She was on the heavy side.
Instead of taking Duncan up on his offer, Liberty carried her son and charged up to snatch the stroller back. Duncan looked at her puzzledly.
“I appreciate the thought, Mr. Lewis, but it’s fine. I–I can slowly make my way back home. I can also call my sister to pick me up. She has a car. You don’t have to drive us.”
Duncan could take a hint. He might not get it in the beginning, but now he could see that Liberty had her guard up against him.
Amused, he said, “I’m not a pervert. I mean no harm. You don’t have to be wary of me. I just thought about giving you a lift since you’re with a child and a lot of stuff. From the last incident, you should know that your brother–in–law, Zachary, is friends with me.”
