Chapter 1236
Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered.
Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house.
“Mrs. Lewis.”
Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers.
Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast.
The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter.
Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa.
“Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?”
“Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you have a new chef. He thinks well of my cooking.”
Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter–in–law.
“You should deliver Duncan packed breakfast more often. See if he needs anything else. With all that you do for him, he’ll be smitten with you in no time. You can do it, Lily. I can’t wait for you to be part of the family.”
Pulling out her phone, Lily tapped into her photo album and pointed at Jessica before asking, “Who is this woman, Mrs. Lewis? Do you know her? She seems to know Duncan. I saw them talking.
“All You Can Eat diner is owned by Liberty. Duncan was going to have his breakfast there, but Liberty was away for personal reasons. Her diner was closed today. He only ate my breakfast because he went to work on an empty stomach.”
