Chapter 1066
His mother wanted him to come home so he and Lily had a chance to cultivate a relationship.
Duncan did not have a bad impression of Lily, but he did not like her either.
“What’s inconvenient about that? You drive to work anyway, and no one will say anything even if you’re late since you’re the boss. There’s a guest at home now, so you have to stay home for a few days.”
“Mom, I’m tired after being out and about today. I’m driving now so it’s not convenient for me to talk to you. I’ll hang up now.”
Duncan did not directly reject his mother’s request and found an excuse to hang up the phone.
After the call ended, Mrs. Lewis said helplessly to her husband, “I’m afraid your youngest son will be single for the rest of his life. Lily is a great girl who doesn’t mind his scarred face, but he’s not even willing to spend some time with her.”
Mr. Lewis said faintly. “You’re too hasty and obvious in your motive. You’ve arranged several blind dates for Duncan, and he has developed an aversion to blind dates. He doesn’t like to be controlled by us.
“Just leave him be. If he’s destined to remain single, it’s useless even if you arrange hundreds of blind dates for him. If he’s destined to meet someone, then he’ll meet that person and fall in love without you meddling
“Whatever will be, will be ”
Mrs. Lewis twisted her husband’s arm in anger and scolded him, “It’s because of a father like you that your son is still a bachelor at the age of thirty-six!”
Mr. Lewis did not get angry at being scolded “The younger generation will do all right on their own. What’s the point of agonizing over them? I’m not worried about them. They all have their own destiny. Let nature take its course.”
After saying that, he pulled up the quilt to cover his head lest his wife pinched him again.
The night passed without a word.
The next day was the opening day of All You Can Eat.
Serenity and Mrs. Lane arrived at the store early in the morning, where Liberty had already started working
“Liberty, is the ribbon for the ribbon-cutting ceremony ready?”
Having a ribbon-cutting ceremony was an important ritual before opening a new store.
