Chapter 1316
Lily had a habit of going on a stroll after eating.Mrs. Lewis looked at Duncan.Duncan and his three brothers were talking about the recent trends in the stock market.He did not notice the conversation between Lily and his mother, much less his mother staring at him.It was his second brother who noticed first. He nudged Duncan and whispered, “Mom is looking at you. I think she wants you to do something.”Duncan turned to look at his mother and smiled. “What’s up, Mom?”Why was she looking at him like that?“Lily wants to go on a stroll. Go with her.”Mrs. Lewis did not expect this son of hers to appreciate the pains she was taking, so she spoke bluntly and told him to accompany Lily on a walk.Duncan looked at Lily and said, “Ms. Harmon, you’ve lived in my home for a while now, so you should be familiar with the environment here. You can’t go very far, so you can just walk by yourself. You won’t get lost.”Mrs. Lewis’s expression darkened. She almost wanted to throw someth

Duncan’s three brothers did not dare say more.They were afraid their mother would blame them for spoiling Duncan if they spoke up for him again, causing him to still remain single at the age of thirty-six.Duncan accompanied Lily out of the house. The two strolled casually along the paved path in the courtyard.However, Duncan’s pace was fast.Lily wore high heels, so she struggled to follow him.“Duncan.”Lily was not the type who was willing to suffer for the sake of others. She jogged up and reached out to pull Duncan’s hand.“What is it?”Duncan’s attitude toward Lily was neither good nor bad. He did not hate Lily, but he just did not feel a spark with her.He also did not like how his family was arranging a girlfriend for him without his consent.“Are you running a race with me?”Duncan’s dark eyes flashed. “Didn’t you say you wanted to take a stroll? Even if you wanted to race, you can’t race after just eating. It’ll upset your stomach.”Lily paused before stating, “

Lily agreed. “I’m like that too. I only talk about work while I’m at work, and no talking shop while I’m resting.“Duncan, can I ask you some questions?”Duncan replied, “Go ahead.”“Our parents want us to be a couple, and I’m quite pleased with you. You can say that I like you very much, but it’s definitely too early to say that I love you. However, I believe I will be able to fall in love with you with time.”In Lily’s eyes, Duncan was her target.She liked him and wanted to conquer him, but when it came to love... Even she did not believe she loved him now, let alone Duncan.There was no such thing as love at first sight when it came to them.“However, you keep running away from me. Is it because I’m not good enough? Or do you have another person in your heart?”Duncan did not expect Lily to be so blunt about it.She did not hide anything or beat around the bush. Instead, she asked him directly. This character of hers was quite suitable as a friend.He looked at Lily. For

Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”It was not like Lily had no other suitors.Duncan was silent.“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”“No.”Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once-fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.Why did he suddenly think of her now?He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll t

Liberty said that there was no need to force herself if she could not meld into the social circle.When it was time, she could step into the circle naturally without deliberately trying to.Zachary appreciated that part about his sister-in-law.She knew her place but did not put herself down.“Am I wearing this? I don’t think it looks good.”Serenity looked at the gown Zachary picked out for her and felt that there was something odd about it. However, she could not pinpoint what it was.“It’s good, it’s very good. You have a good figure, good looks, and a great mien. You’ll look good in anything.”Serenity held the gown and said, “I’ll go pick one myself.”All the clothes in the cloakroom were prepared by Zachary. There were so many different evening gowns that she could open up a dress store.When Serenity chose her dresses, she only cared if they looked good and did not bother picking the ones that covered the most skin. As a result, every gown she picked was rejected by Zac

“I’ll help you with your makeup, honey.”Serenity complied with his wishes and changed into the most conservative dress in her wardrobe. Zachary volunteered to help his wife with her makeup again.Serenity refused without even thinking about it.“I still care about my appearance.”Her words made Zachary’s mouth flap several times without saying anything.His reaction amused Serenity, and she asked with a smile, “Do you know how to do makeup? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re going to paint my face like a ghost so no one will look at me.”Zachary was speechless. “I’ve never helped a woman with her makeup before, but I wouldn’t make you look like a ghost to scare people.”“Forget it, I can’t trust you. I’ll do it myself. Go and get yourself ready. We’ll be heading out soon.”Zachary refused to leave and said, “I don’t have anything to prepare. I just need to change into a suit, switch my home slippers for leather shoes, and the finishing touch will be you help

Serenity could not stand his constant nagging.Zachary’s thin lips pursed as he complained, “Honey, why are you so mean to me? You’re annoyed with me.”Serenity wanted to kick him out. “If you don’t go out, I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight.”Zachary turned around and walked out, muttering pitifully, “My wife is annoyed with me, my wife is annoyed with me...”Serenity was speechless.She did not know whether to laugh or cry when it came to this man.Her body and soul already belonged to him—what did he have to worry about?Two minutes later, Zachary sat across from his parents.He looked at his father, who was decked out in a white suit, and said, “Dad, why are you wearing a white suit at your age? Are you trying to compare with me?”Liam said, “What’s that tone? Am I that old? I take care of my appearance. Your mom says we look like brothers if we stand together, not father and son. Your mom says I look dreamy dressed in a white suit, like Prince Charming in fairy tales.

“Yes, my wife trained me well.”Liam opened his mouth but did not know what to say.His son was even more henpecked than he was.While the father and son chatted, the noblest pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Wiltspoon descended the stairs.Zachary recognized at a glance that the jewelry Serenity was wearing was not from him. He knew that his mother gave it to her deliberately without having to ask.Indeed, Tania went upstairs to see her daughter-in-law put on makeup just to give her the set of jewelry stuffed in her bag to her daughter-in-law.In her words, the jewelry set was too bright for someone of her age, so it was more suitable for Serenity.Tania was born and raised in a wealthy family and received a lot of jewelry since she was a child. After she married into the York family, she was deeply favored by her husband, who also gave her a lot of jewelry. Her mother-in-law also presented her with several sets of expensive jewelry when she gave birth to Zachary.T
