Chapter 1268

After Mrs. Lewis said this, she asked Liberty, “Liberty, how often do you see Duncan? He’s good buddies with your brother–in–law so I figured you see him from time to time. If you have the chance, please help me persuade and convince him to see Lily, alright?”

Liberty smiled and assured her, “Mrs. Lewis, I’d be glad to help you out. Mr. Lewis is a wonderful person and I do see him now and then, but I’m not sure if I could influence him that much.

“He comes to my place for breakfast most mornings and likes to play with my son. Next time he comes over, I’ll try to put in a good word for Lily and sway him to see her more often.

“But I just have to tell you that there’s no guarantee, especially since our relationship for the most part is just that of a shop owner and a tenant. If you as his mother could not do much to sway him, I don’t think my words would have a much greater effect either.”

Mrs. Lewis considered this and said, “You make a good point. Still, if he shows up for breakfast tomorrow, have a quick chat with him and try to bring up Lily’s name. See what he thinks about her.

“I’m going to take Lily to Wiltspoon Hotel tomorrow, to attend the Marshalls banquet tomorrow night, I was hoping Duncan would join us.”

Duncan was going to attend the banquet as well, except he was going to attend by himself. He was not bringing a partner with him nor attending with his mother.

After all, he was largely a lone wolf out there and was rather detached from his family.

Most people saw him and his family as separate entities.

Liberty sympathized with how Mrs. Lewis was concerned about her son’s future. She decided she would do Mrs. Lewis a favor, especially considering the old lady’s relationship with her sister’s family and her aunt.

However, she knew better than to assure Mrs. Lewis that she could convince Duncan to attend the Marshalls‘ banquet. She doubted she had that much influence over the man.

That was strictly between the pair of mother and son.
