Married at First Sight
Morning light filled the room.
Liberty had a wonderful dream that night.
Turning her head, she looked at Duncan and complained, “Why did you wake me up? My dream was amazing. I wanted to keep watching her grow up, get married, and take over the business.”
Duncan blinked in confusion. “Who were you dreaming about? Yangyang? Are you planning for him to take over in the future?”
The Feng family had always been led by women for generations. Would they even allow Yangyang to take over? Probably not.
Liberty shook her head. “No, before we fell asleep, we were talking about having another baby. Then I dreamed that I actually got pregnant and had a daughter. She didn’t look like me at all—she looked exactly like you. Every bit like you.”
Duncan raised an eyebrow, amused.
“Of course, you’re cute too,” Liberty teased. “You’re not ugly. Before that scar, you were actually quite handsome.” She glanced at the side of his face that was unscarred—he really was good-looking.
“Anyway,” she continued, “you were so happy about our daughter that you held her all the time. You barely had time for work because she became your entire world. Yangyang and I were both jealous of her.”
She sighed dramatically. “I never had a real romantic rival, but I didn’t expect to give birth to one. Our daughter completely took over your arms.”
Duncan chuckled.
“And the worst part?” Liberty added. “You kept showing her off every chance you got.
Every time you met up with your friends, you bragged about her. Especially in front of
Zhan Yin and Su Nan, just to rub it in that they only had sons.”
Duncan laughed. “They didn’t beat me up for it?”
“No, because they’re decent people,” Liberty said with a smirk. “But I got so annoyed in my dream that I finally snapped and called you a show-off. That’s when you pushed me and woke me up. I didn’t even get to hold my daughter!”
Duncan smiled. “So that’s why you were mumbling in your sleep. If I’d known you were having such a beautiful dream, I wouldn’t have woken you up. You could’ve watched our daughter grow up, get married, and take over the family business.”
He leaned back thoughtfully. “Then when we retire, I’d hand my business over to
Liberty shook her head with a smile. “I have hands, you know. I can do it myself.”
Still, as she grabbed her own clothes, she also took his and handed them to him.
The couple dressed, freshened up, and went downstairs together.
Duncan had been doing rehabilitation for a long time. Though he still couldn’t walk completely normally, he had made a lot of progress. He could manage the stairs—just a little slower and with a limp.
At one point, Duncan had worried about his future. What if he never fully recovered? What if he remained crippled for life? He had asked Liberty if she would ever resent him for it.
Her answer had been simple: “If I minded, I wouldn’t have married you.”
After all, when they got their marriage certificate, he had been in even worse condition than he was now.
That reassurance had put Duncan at ease, but it also strengthened his resolve. I have to keep going with rehab. I won’t let myself become a cripple.
