Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 1676

Chapter 1676

Josh was considerate not to smoke because his wife was pregnant.

“What happened, Mr. Lewis? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that it was her fault for what happened to Duncan?” Zachary asked in a low voice.

Josh also looked at Mr. Lewis, waiting for him to tell them the truth.

“Sigh… It’s our fault. Duncan went out drinking yesterday. After you sent him home, Duncan didn’t answer Corey’s call, so she called the housekeeper only to find out that Duncan was drunk This morning, Corey insisted on going to his house, so I went with her.

“Duncan only woke up at noon. He saw us at his place and quarreled with Corey again shortly after Duncan didn’t want to get into a row with his mother, so he got up and left.”

Derek recalled the scene at that time. If he knew that it would cause Duncan’s accident, he would

have dragged Corey back with every ounce of his strength.

As Duncan’s father, he felt he did not do well in persuading Corey to be more open–minded, which caused the conflict between the mother and son to intensify.

“Corey asked if Duncan was going to look for Liberty and didn’t want to let him leave But Duncan ignored her and drove away. Corey was furious and chased after him because she wanted to stop Duncan from going to Liberty.

“I followed and persuaded Corey to stop bickering with Duncan. He’s already thirty–six, so he knows what he’s doing. As his parents, we shouldn’t control him anymore. Duncan has always. been independent as well–he never liked being restrained by the family. The more we oppose him from pursuing Liberty, the more he’ll rebel.

“Corey wouldn’t listen to me. Duncan noticed that we were chasing him, so he sped and kept overtaking other vehicles. It was also because he was driving so fast that he rear–ended a large truck at the intersection. It was a red light, so the truck slowed down and stopped.”

At that moment, Derek blamed himself and said, “It’s all our fault. If it weren’t for us chasing him, Duncan wouldn’t have driven so fast. Then, he could’ve braked in time when the truck slowed down.”

Zachary and Josh looked at each other. Neither of them knew how to continue the conversation

Duncan was not necessarily going out to see Liberty, but Mrs. Lewis jumped to a conclusion and thought that her son was going to see Liberty. Thus, Mrs. Lewis chased after her son to stop him from going to Liberty.
