Chapter 1041
Lily said with great interest, “I wonder if I’ll have the chance to get to know Mrs. York.”
She had heard of Mr. York before but never had the chance to meet him in person.
Lily thought to herself that the woman who could move Mr. York definitely had something amazingabout her. She could learn a thing or two from the lady about conquering a man.
Lily was twenty-eight years old this year and was currently single. She had a relationship back whenshe was eighteen or nineteen but that had been unfruitful. Afterward, she joined her family’s companyand ended up too busy with work, which was why until now, she had no boyfriend.
Mrs. Lewis had the intention to matchmake her and Duncan and both families were in favor of it. Lilywas aware of Duncan’s past as a former gangster and she could accept it.
She did not care that he had a scar on his face either because she felt that as long as she made himfall in love with her, she could make him agree to undergo minor plastic surgery to remove the scar andrecover his good looks.
Hearing Lily’s words, Mrs. Lewis laughed. “You will. Zachary and Duncan are very good friends.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lewis lowered her voice and said to Lily, “Although Serenity Hunt’s backgroundisn’t much to speak of, the fact that she’s Zachary York’s wife is set in stone. It’ll be good for you to getto know her and forge a connection with her.”
She was worried that a proud and strong lady like Lily would look down on Serenity when the latter wasZachary’s most precious person while Zachary was good friends with Duncan too. If Lily were to dateDuncan, she would inevitably have to join his circle of friends.
If Lily looked down on Serenity, she would offend Zachary and affect his relationship with Duncan.
Mrs. Lewis did not wish for Zachary and Duncan’s relationship to be affected because of Lily.
In Wiltspoon, those who Zachary considered close friends and confidants were limited to her son andJosh Bucham only.
Lily smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, I understand. Ladies don’t ask where a person is from. It was Ms.Hunt’s ability that allowed her to become Mrs. York. I can’t admire her enough, so why would I lookdown on her?”
Even if Serenity was a beggar, as long as she had won Zachary over, Lily would feel that she was thebest amongst all women and was worth learning something from.
She was very capable in terms of doing business, but when it came to winning men over, Lily felt thatshe was lacking experience.
“It’s great that you can think that way. Let’s go eat.”
Mrs. Lewis affectionately pulled Lily into the dining room. The moment they stepped into the diningroom, they heard Duncan speaking on the phone with Zachary.
A certain Mr. York was currently preparing a dinner filled with love for his esteemed and beloved wife.Serenity was feeling low and did not want to go out to eat either, so Zachary was personally doing thecooking himself.novelbin
Old Mrs. York had not returned and nobody knew where she had gallivanted to again.
In the past, Serenity would be worried about Grandma May, but now, knowing that the old lady waswandering around to secure wives for her grandsons, Serenity no longer worried about her and would
not ask where she was going.
Zachary had told her too that when his nana was young, she had been the head of intelligence andwas very formidable.
She only gradually eased into retirement after marrying Zachary’s grandfather, but many of the pastgenerations still sang her praises. Even now when the current head of the Buchams and his son, afamily specializing in intelligence, met Grandma May, they were incredibly reverent toward the old ladyand viewed her as a maestro in the field.
Serenity continued to sit on the swing as she quietly watched the sky outside turn from light to dark.
A ringing sound came from Zachary’s phone.
Zachary stopped what he was doing and picked up the call after digging out his phone and looking atthe caller ID.
“Duncan.”
“Zachary, for the barbecue at your family residence tomorrow, don’t forget to prepare extra chickenthighs -they’re my favorite. I haven’t eaten it in ages and I miss your barbecued chicken thighs a lot.”
