Duncan was speechless. “Do you really think Lily and I are suited for each other? Don’t you think she’s out for my position and wealth?”“Lily’s family has a huge business. She’s the vice president of her family’s company, so I doubt she’s after your money. You have status, but so does she. It’s hard to believe that she’s out for your position and wealth. You two together will only be a union of power and wealth.” Liberty gave Duncan a look like he was out of his mind. That question was a bolt out of the blue. Mrs. Lewis was such a proud lady with high standards. The girl Mrs. Lewis picked for Duncan must be beyond amazing. “I mean, I might be the better pick out of all the men Lily knows. That’s why she wants to get together with me. It’s not that she likes me. I don’t believe she isn’t scared or disgusted by the scar on my face.”While fixating on his face, Liberty answered with a smile, “Once you fall in love with Ms. Harmon, you’ll wobble your way to get cosmetic surgery

“You can ride the bicycle better if you pick up the art of self-defense. Do you want to learn to fight?”“I do.” Zachary carried Sonny to a man in black who was standing not too far away. As he was walking, Zachary said, “Sonny, I got you an instructor to teach you to fight. You must listen to him and work hard.” Everybody turned their attention to the stranger. Serenity said to her sister, “Zachary mentioned he’ll get someone to teach Sonny to fight for himself. He can train and learn to protect himself.” “That’s kind of Zachary.” Liberty was grateful. Her brother-in-law did bring it up after what happened at the zoo. Liberty believed boys should pick up a skill for self-defense. Duncan jumped in. “You could’ve told me that Sonny wants to learn to fight. I can teach him.” “Mr. Lewis, you’re busy with work. I wouldn’t want to bother you.” Liberty thought to herself, ‘It must cost a lot to hire Duncan to be my son’s instructor. Sure, I have made some money now, but

Now, it was time for Lily to make her move. The maid served tea. Lily picked up a cup and elegantly took a sip. Serenity opened one of the boxes and tried a dessert. As the food was good, she invited everybody to sample. Zachary was not keen on anything sweet. He would only try it if the food was made by Serenity, so he would not bother with anyone else’s. Duncan would prefer not to eat sweet food either. Nevertheless, he would still taste the food out of courtesy. Now that he tried Lily’s dessert, Duncan thought his senses were not overwhelmed by the sweetness, so he took another. Seeing that Duncan grabbed the dessert twice, Lily reflected joy in her eyes. Although Lily said she was here to meet Serenity, everybody, excluding William and Sonny, knew Lily was here for Duncan. Still, Serenity could feel Lily’s intention to be good friends. Zachary and Duncan were best friends, and Lily liked Duncan. If Lily could win Duncan’s heart and be a couple with him, there w

Serenity had no idea what to feel when she got the results back. Despite engaging in intimate activities for a while, she had not been knocked up. Now that Serenity was in the hospital, she intended to do a full medical examination. Zachary did not want to as he believed they were fit and great in health. He simply believed that their time had not come yet. “Since we’re here, we might as well go for a physical. What if there’s something wrong with us? Early detection is early prevention.” Serenity tried to convince Zachary to have the full medical examination with her. “I’m healthy. I always have a full check-up every six months, so I would know if there’s something wrong with me. You’re fine too. You rarely catch a cold. How can you have an issue? We don’t need an examination. It’s just not our time yet.” Zachary dragged Serenity to leave. He was not in the mood for a physical. Zachary firmly believed he was fine! So was Serenity! “Many people look healthy, but som

“Sir, ma’am, Mr. Zachary is back.” “What is he doing here?” Liam asked skeptically, “Did Serenity come back with him?” “Only two cars returned. Mr. Zachary drove one himself, and the other was the security vehicle. It appears the missus isn’t in the car.” “Oh.” Liam then instructed the maid, “Tell the kitchen to cook extra servings. Zachary should at least stay for dinner.” The maid wanted to laugh. This was Mr. Zachary’s home. It was normal that Mr. Zachary could dine at his own place. Yet, Mr. Liam acted as though Mr. Zachary was the guest trying to freeload a meal. The maid gave the couple some space. Liam turned to his beloved wife. “Have you figured out a way to checkmate? I’m going if you’re stuck.” “Let me mull this over. Don’t bother me. I will come up with a way. What did Eunice say? Is Zack back? Oh, he has time to come home?” “Who knows? He rarely comes back to the manor now that he has a wife. He usually just comes back for a brief talk. It’s like th
