Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1040

“When Lily needs help with her stuff, you should help her out too. Fran and I have been good friends for many years now. Although we haven’t met each other in about twenty years, we’ve never stopped talking to each other.”

Mrs. Lewis’s intention to matchmake Lily and Duncan was exceedingly obvious.

Lily’s gaze toward Duncan contained no fear either. In her opinion, the scar on Duncan’s face was terrifying, but all he needed was to get some plastic surgery done to remove the scar and recover his good looks.

He was an exceptionally handsome man if you look at the side of his face without the scar.

Who had never done an impulsive thing or two when they were young?

She herself had even gotten a tattoo before.

“Mom, I’m very busy,” Duncan said without inflection. “If Ms. Harmon requires my help, I can provide it, but I really don’t have the time to take her around.

“You’re bored staying at home every day anyway. You can accompany Ms. Harmon yourself and take her around to help her get familiar with the area,” Duncan said.

He then looked apologetically at Lily and uttered, “I really am very busy, Ms. Harmon.”

“Isn’t it a Sunday tomorrow? You still have to go back to the office?”

“Zachary invited me to his place tomorrow for a barbeque,” Duncan lied.

“Then you can just take Lily with you. You guys only have something to talk about when people of the same age get together. I’m old now so there’s a generation gap between us.”

Duncan said impassively, “We’re going to Wildridge Manor. Don’t you know what Zachary’s temper is like? Without his agreement, we invitees aren’t allowed to bring young women over.”

Mrs. Lewis was speechless.

Zachary already had a wife. Was he still that unreasonable?
