Chapter 1159
Zachary owned many properties. He and Serenity usually lived in the villa on the hilltop and their house in Brynfield. These two houses were near their workplaces, which made it convenient to commute. Duncan did not want to travel far for work, so he had no choice but to brazenly stay with Zachary for some time. “Zachary, did you plan all these?” Duncan asked his friend, who had a dark expression. “It’s decorated so nicely, like a proposal or a wedding setup. You can have the same design as this when you and Serenity hold your wedding. It’ll surely impress many women.”Zachary snapped, “Who else could it be if not me? You?”“I don’t have such a high EQ to think of these ideas to make women happy.”Zachary glared at him. “Of course you don’t. The only thing you know is to collect money.”Duncan asked, “What money did I collect?”Zachary did not explain further. Duncan was puzzled. Serenity poured a glass of warm water each for the two guys. She was about to go and prepa

Duncan said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Zachary.”“Go to a hotel if you’re ashamed.”“I’m not. It’s not my first time having a short stay in your house. Josh and I often stayed over in the past. We would always do so when we drank too much or it was too late.”Zachary was speechless. He pulled his wife to stand up with him and said coldly, “You can stay in the guest room that’s furthest from the master bedroom. Rest early.”After that, he went upstairs with Serenity. Zachary complained when they returned to their room, “When have I become Duncan’s shield? Has my place turned into a shelter for him?”Serenity laughed and said, “Mr. Lewis only came to stay for a few days because he had no other choice. You two have been friends for so many years.”“He didn’t run out of choices. He’s just using me as a shield. He doesn’t have a low EQ because he was aware of Lily’s feelings for him. But he doesn’t have a high EQ either. He bought Sonny a few sets of clothes and collected money fr

Zachary consoled his wife, “Don’t read too much into it. I believe things will only get better for your sister.” After much thought, Serenity uttered, “That’s true. I don’t see sparks going on between my sister and Mr. Lewis. I guess whatever happens, happens. As you said, Mr. Lewis is his own person. He takes control of his own life. I trust he’ll make my sister happy if he sees her that way.” “Yeah, whatever happens, happens. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.” Zachary grabbed her a fresh set of clothes. “Go and take a bath.” Serenity took the clothes and kissed him on the face before going into the bathroom. Half an hour later, the couple lay in bed, chatting about their day. “Honey, when are you coming with me to social events?” Zachary asked. “When do you need a plus-one for social engagements?” Serenity believed the trial runs with her aunt at social parties had built up her confidence. Well, she also had Zachary to thank as he had given her a lot of support

“Married men are different. You cook for yourself, but I’m cooking for me and my wife. It’s sheer happiness to watch my wife eat my food. It’s the type of happiness you single people will not understand. “Even a nice lobster won’t taste as good as when you’re having a meal alone. The simplest food tastes delicious when I eat with my wife. It’s just not comparable.” Duncan replied, “That’s a new way of looking at men who cook. You’re talking as if those who never cooked a day in their lives will never find happiness. I can’t cook like you, but I can find a wife who does. The results are still the same.” Zachary said, “Are you looking for a wife or a cook?” Stumped, Duncan changed the topic. “Make me one too.” “Do it yourself. You should practice and gain experience. I can guarantee your future wife will be happy if you cook her a steak. It’s romancing her.” Duncan pursed her lips. “Zachary, I’m a guest in your home.” “An uninvited guest who won’t leave is not a guest. You

Duncan was passing by All You Can Eat at eight o’clock when he stopped the car. He paused for a moment before getting out of the car. Halfway out, Duncan was struck by a thought and retraced his steps. He unlocked the car and retrieved one of many boxes from the backseat. It was a box of Legos. He was fond of Sonny, so he bought a lot of toys and stashed them in his car. That way, he would have something for Sonny every time he dropped by the diner. It went without saying that his trips to the diner were for the boy and not Liberty. Duncan used to give Sonny pinwheels, but the boy had grown out of them. That was why he bought new toys. With a box of Legos in hand, Duncan stepped into All You Can Eat. “Morning, Mr. Lewis.” Seeing that Duncan entered through the door, Liberty greeted him with a smile and asked, “Same order?”“Yes. The same old.” Duncan believed breakfast at his buddy’s place did not fill his belly. With his workload heavy in the morning, how could he g

“I was up late today.” Duncan lied. He did not tell Liberty that he had breakfast at his buddy’s place and it was just not quite enough. The loving couple had him lose his appetite, but now that they were out of sight, the hunger caught up to him, so Duncan had to drop by Liberty’s diner to fill his belly. Seeing that Duncan was showing her son the ropes in the middle of breakfast, Liberty drew close, sat next to her son, and said, “I’ll help you, Sonny.” She picked up the assembly instruction for a look and stared at the pile of bricks, feeling a headache coming. Oops. It seemed Lego bricks were not quite her thing. Serenity was good at it though. She was nifty with her hands at crafting, so Lego bricks were not a problem for her. With a customer entering the diner, Liberty put down the assembly instruction and told her son, “Take your time, Sonny. I’ll be right with you.” “Mom, you don’t know how to do it, but Dunc does.” Sonny was attached to Duncan when they assem

Duncan’s mother had mentioned Liberty to Lily before. Lily was most focused on Serenity though, as she wanted to get into Mrs. York’s good graces. Nevertheless, Duncan was certain that Lily kept an eye on Liberty since Liberty was Mrs. York’s sister. “I own the space and rent it out,” Duncan added in case Lily thought he was standing up for the restaurant owner. Lily smiled. “No wonder you have breakfast there. You own the place.” “I’m full. I can’t eat anymore. Ms. Harmon, thank you for the breakfast, but I don’t need it.” The last thing Duncan wanted was to take Lily to the office. Lily uttered with a smile, “I’ll bring it back later. I want to get a tour of your office, Duncan. I didn’t just come to Wiltspoon for this. I’m here to talk business with a few major corporations too.” The Harmons operated their business on a large scale. Mrs. Lewis was hoping to have a union with the Harmons while Lily wanted to penetrate Wiltspoon’s market by having business ties with

“Mom, Sonny has a toy, and he’s not letting me play with it. I want a toy, Mom! I want Sonny’s toy!” Lucas took quick paces to his mother and tugged on Chelsea’s clothes, demanding Sonny’s toy. Chelsea always thought the world of her children while other people’s children could suck it. Putting her hand out at Sonny, she said, “Sonny, hand over your toy.” “This is mine!” Sonny latched onto the Lego box like glue. Chelsea went ahead to pull the toy off of Sonny when Liberty grabbed a kitchen utensil and slapped it on Chelsea’s wrist. The pain caused Chelsea to recoil her arm. “What are you doing, Liberty?” Liberty put on a sour face. “I should be asking you that. That is Sonny’s toy. He can decide whether he wants to share it with Lucas. Why are you taking the toy from a child?” Chelsea was lost for words. With a scowl, Mr. Brown gave his daughter a dressing down. Once Chelsea pulled her son to a corner, Mr. Brown apologetically said, “Liberty, it’s fine if Sonny doesn
