Love at first sight novel (Judith Cooper) novel Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179

The pair must have returned from a shopping trip. Lily held Mrs. Lewis’s arm while carrying a few shopping bags herself.

“Are you heading out, Duncan?”

Running into her son, Mrs. Lewis asked.

“Mom. Ms. Harmon.”

Duncan said hello before adding. “I have an emergency, Mom. Sorry, I can’t attend to your and Ms. Harmon. You can either wait in my office or go home for now?”

“What’s the emergency?” Mrs. Lewis asked with concern.

“It’s an emergency.”

Duncan may be dense, but he was not going to tell his mother that he was ditching work to check up on Sonny.

He was afraid Mom might get the wrong idea about him and Liberty.

A lot of people took it the wrong way and believed Duncan had a thing for Liberty.

Nobody believed Duncan when he said he took a shine to Sonny. People thought he was trying to earn Sonny’s regard to become his stepdad.

“Is it work–related?” Mrs. Lewis asked.

Duncan lied, “Yes, Mom. I got to go.”

“Alright. Go on then. Come home for dinner. Lily bought you some clothes. You can see if they fit when you’re back for dinner. I’ll send Lily to deliver food to you starting tomorrow if you skip out on dinner tonight.”

Mrs. Lewis knew her son well.

Duncan did not have the hots for Lily, and he did not like Lily pestering him every day. Mrs. Lewis needed to threaten him so he would come home for dinner.

“Also, stop staying over at Zachary’s place. He’s a newlywed and wants to spend time with his wife. Your presence is making you the third wheel. Don’t you have a home? Don’t you have a house? Why must you stay at Zachary’s place?

“Move back home tonight.”

Duncan responded, “Zachary and Serenity have been married for six months. They’re past the newlywed’s phase.”
