Chapter 1160
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave 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 from your sister afterward.”
Serenity stepped forward and hugged her husband. He enjoyed her taking the initiative to hug him. Even the sound
of his complaints became softer.
“Maybe Mr. Lewis really just adores Sonny and doesn’t have feelings for my sister.”
They could have been looking at Duncan and her sister with preconceived ideas.
“Seren, a man won’t treat a woman well out of the blue. If he did, then he definitely has
some interest in that said woman.”
“Mr. Lewis is very nice to Sonny.”
Zachary chuckled and did not give further justifications.
His nana had proven it-either Duncan had not realized his feelings yet, or he was pretending.
Zachary thought it was most likely the former.
Duncan must have truly thought he was treating Liberty well because of Sonny.
He liked Sonny.
“Even if Mr. Lewis is interested in my sister, I rather hope he doesn’t like my sister. I know Mrs. Lewis has already
chosen her daughter-in-law and that Ms. Harmon is a good match for Mr. Lewis in terms of social status.
“Not to mention, my sister doesn’t intend to get married again. Even if she does, she probably won’t consider Mr.
Lewis.”
Mrs. Lewis was not as open-minded as Serenity’s mother-in-law.
Tania thought she was not good enough for Zachary but respected his decision and choice. She also never bothered
her or gave her an attitude. She was nice to her daughter-in -law.
Some people were dissatisfied with Serenity helping Camryn during the Dowlings’
banquet. They called Tania and tried to drive a wedge between them but they were scolded by Tania instead.
Serenity heard about it from Old Mrs. York.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOtherwise, she would not have known that her mother-in-law was so protective.
Old Mrs. York said that Serenity was the York family’s missus. Whether she did well or not, it was not the outsiders’
place to criticize her.
In other words, family members could criticize Serenity, but outsiders were not allowed to badmouth her at all.
Serenity truly liked the open-mindedness and protectiveness of the York family’s adults.
“If Duncan realizes that he likes Liberty, we can just watch from the sides and do nothing. Duncan is an assertive
person. Ever since he left his family’s control and established Lewis & Co., he’s been taking charge of his life.”
“The elders of the Lewis family won’t be able to control him. If he genuinely likes Liberty, and as long as she’s
willing to face everything with him, they’ll be able to be together until the end. No matter how difficult Mrs. Lewis is,
she can’t do anything to Duncan.”
“Mrs. Lewis can’t do anything to Mr. Lewis, but she’ll target my sister.”
Serenity sighed. “When my sister was with the Browns, she had enough of her mother-in- law’s criticisms. If she
gets married again and her mother-in-law is harsh on her… I’ll feel bad for her.”
She wanted her sister to find happiness. However, she was also afraid her sister would meet another terrible
mother-in-law.
