Chapter 985

Duncan replied nonplussed, “What’s your nana trying to do, Zachary? Does she think that I have

feelings for Liberty? I honestly am fond of Sonny. That’s all.”

Zachary believed his best friend’s eagerness to explain was a dead giveaway.

His nana had a good eye for this kind of stuff.

Nana would not put the feelers out to Duncan if Duncan was not interested in his sister–in–law that

way.

In the past, Zachary noticed that fate tended to draw Duncan and Liberty together.

Wiltspoon was a bustling major city. Yet, the pair kept bumping into each other. If that was not fate, then

what was it?

“Hmmm… I adore Sonny too. It’s your business whether you like my sister–in–law or not. It’s not my

problem either, but I hope you only take a liking to Sonny. I don’t want you hanging around the diner

because of Sonny’s mother.”

Since Duncan was Zachary’s best friend, Zachary knew him well. Duncan would not make a good

couple with his sister–in–law, mainly because of Mrs. Lewis.

Liberty was a divorcee. Mrs. Lewis would not take kindly to Liberty even if Liberty was single too.

“Of course, it’s all for Sonny,” Duncan added.

“I’m really fond of the child. Why do you all think I’m interested in Liberty?”

Even if he showed Liberty some concern, it was only because she was Sonny’s mother.

“Zachary, tell your nana not to play matchmaker for me.”

Zachary answered with a smile, “Is my nana a cupid? You all seem afraid that she might set her sights

on you guys. Don’t worry. Nana has her plates filled with all her grandsons. She doesn’t have time for

her grandson’s best friends yet.

“Mr. Young–Johnson asked me to hook Mr. Johnson up with some girl. Otherwise, I wouldn’t meddle in

his business. I mean, Nana got me the girl. That was why Mr. Young–Johnson sought help from Nana. I

think Nana should open her own dating agency to introduce girls to all the eligible bachelors like you.”

Grandma May would make it huge in that industry.

If she could make it happen for an eligible bachelor in his thirties like Duncan, the

Lewises would spare no expenses and reward Grandma May handsomely.

Duncan fell silent before uttering, “Grandma May is so young at heart. Her stunt today scared the hell

out of me.”

He dared not look Grandma May in the eye. He kept getting this strange feeling of guilt.

“Alright now. That’s all I want to talk about. It’s just to vent. Dinner tonight?”

“No. My wife will be delivering me a packed dinner. I have had an upset tummy lately, so she’s taking

care of my three meals. She’s nursing me back to health.”

Detecting the bragging in Zachary’s tone, Duncan quietly ended the call.

So what if Zachary had a wife?

Duncan could marry a wife if he wanted to. Zachary was acting as if the rest of them could not get a

wife.

Zachary believed he had bragging rights since he had a wife.

Before Jim delivered his dinner, Zachary left work at a little past four o’clock. Surrounded by his team of

security, Zachary arrived at Wiltspoon School.

John’s car was parked outside the shop. All four of his tires were flat. Anyone who was dropping in the

shop or passing by would notice the car.

While John wanted to call a tow truck to remove his car, he could not get it done in broad daylight in

case Serenity gave him a piece of her mind.

He wanted to wait until her shop was closed before calling a tow truck and getting his tires changed.

Elisa was there by the time Zachary arrived at the bookshop.

“You’re here, Elisa.”

Zachary felt a little less awkward with Elisa now that they broke the ice as cousins–in- law.
