Chapter 985
Duncan replied nonplussed, “What’s your nana trying to do, Zachary? Does she think that I have feelings for Liberty? I honestly am fond of Sonny. That’s all.”
Zachary believed his best friend’s eagerness to explain was a dead giveaway.
His nana had a good eye for this kind of stuff.
Nana would not put the feelers out to Duncan if Duncan was not interested in his sister–in–law that way.
In the past, Zachary noticed that fate tended to draw Duncan and Liberty together.
Wiltspoon was a bustling major city. Yet, the pair kept bumping into each other. If that was not fate, then what was it?
“Hmmm… I adore Sonny too. It’s your business whether you like my sister–in–law or not. It’s not my problem either, but I hope you only take a liking to Sonny. I don’t want you hanging around the diner because of Sonny’s mother.”
Since Duncan was Zachary’s best friend, Zachary knew him well. Duncan would not make a good couple with his sister–in–law, mainly because of Mrs. Lewis.
Liberty was a divorcee. Mrs. Lewis would not take kindly to Liberty even if Liberty was single too.
“Of course, it’s all for Sonny,” Duncan added.
“I’m really fond of the child. Why do you all think I’m interested in Liberty?”
Even if he showed Liberty some concern, it was only because she was Sonny’s mother.
“Zachary, tell your nana not to play matchmaker for me.”
Zachary answered with a smile, “Is my nana a cupid? You all seem afraid that she might set her sights on you guys. Don’t worry. Nana has her plates filled with all her grandsons. She doesn’t have time for her grandson’s best friends yet.
“Mr. Young–Johnson asked me to hook Mr. Johnson up with some girl. Otherwise, I wouldn’t meddle in his business. I mean, Nana got me the girl. That was why Mr. Young–Johnson sought help from Nana. I think Nana should open her own dating agency to introduce girls to all the eligible bachelors like you.”
Grandma May would make it huge in that industry.
