Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 3167

Liberty only said she had a dream and because of that, Duncan abandoned his work and came here to take up his friend's precious time.

He was afraid Zachary would laugh at him.

He, however, simply felt uneasy. He did not think Liberty would have a dream like that for no reason.

It was said that your worries tended to surface in your dreams, after all. Did Liberty have a dream like that because someone said something to her and she started overthinking it?

“Just say whatever it is that you want to say. We've been friends for so many years. What is there that can't be said?”

Zachary got up and walked around his desk as he asked Duncan, “Do you want coffee, tea, or water?”

“Coffee, please.”

“There should still be some in the pantry—let me see. If not, I'll just get you some water.” Zachary entered his pantry.

A few moments later, he walked out, carrying two steaming cups of coffee.

“There was enough for two cups.” Zachary placed one of the cups before Duncan and sat back in his seat before setting his cup down. He asked, “Does it have something to do with Liberty?"

If it was work, Duncan would not have been so anxious as to come here personally and would have just called him instead.

Zachary guessed that it might be because Liberty said something to Duncan after Serenity mentioned Mrs. Torres to Liberty.

Duncan glared at his friend. “You do know something. Did Serenity say something to her?”

“They talk to each other every day. I don't know what they talk about if Serenity doesn't tell me.” Zachary did not reveal what he knew right away. “What did Liberty say to you?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Duncan did not answer and instead dug his phone out to play for Zachary the voice note Liberty sent him.

Zachary was silent after he heard it.

“Liberty has never had a dream like that before. Serenity must have said something to her to make her dream about that. Did Serenity badmouth me to her? But Serenity’s usually fine with me! And she still badmouthed me to her sister behind my back?!"

Zachary was speechless for a moment before he replied. “Don’t put this on my wife. She's never badmouthed you. Do you know everything Liberty has ever dreamed about? How do you know she’s never dreamed about something like this before?

“Liberty's previous marriage was broken by adultery. Subconsciously, she might be worried that someone will come in between the two of you. What's so strange about her having a dream like that?

“Besides, it's just a dream. Didn't you hear what she said? She said it was a faceless woman. That means she doesn't even know who it is. That woman might not even exist. It's just the trauma from her previous marriage affecting her.”

Duncan was silent at this because he felt that Zachary’s analysis was reasonable. Was that really the case though?

“But the fact that Liberty had a dream like that shows that she thinks your relationship isn’t strong enough. She's subconsciously worried someone will break you two up because she lacks confidence in you or herself.”

Duncan protested, “But my feelings for her are as clear as day. I have and will never love anyone else but her. I'm so old now, I can't afford to play around—I've never even thought of it! I'm absolutely sincere about her.

“Does she still not believe in me even after all we've been through? And what does she have to be insecure and worried about when my entire family has accepted her and can't wait for us to get married as soon as possible?”
