Chapter 1183
Married at First Sight
âYou said youâd be back for dinner tonight. Look at the time now. Are you still not coming home?â
Mrs. Lewis urged her son, âHurry up and come home. Lily cooked you some of her best dishes. I tasted them, and theyâre delicious. Theyâre on par with dishes by a fiveâstar hotel chef.â
âMom, Iâm not going back for dinner. Iâm not done with things yet. You and Ms. Harmon can dine together. Mom, Mr. Harmon is a guest in our house, so donât make her cook. Thatâs poor hospitality.â
Mrs. Lewis frowned. âYouâre not done with things yet? Even if thatâs the case, you still have to eat. Itâs dark now, so come home to eat first. You can continue to work after dinner.â
âMom, Iâve eaten. I ate outside.â
Mrs. Lewis responded, âLily made a lot of foodâ¦â
âYouâre blessed with delicious food.â
Mrs. Lewis choked.
She was almost pissed off by her son.
Mrs. Lewis tried so hard to create opportunities for her son, but he either avoided them or found excuses to turn them down.
Lily was outstanding, and she and Duncan had known each other for a long time. As long as the two of them got along, there would definitely be sparks between them.
âDuncan, I like Lily very much.â
âThen let her stay for a few more days to keep you company.â
âLily is also busy with work. She has to go home after a while.â
Duncan smiled and replied to her, âThatâs easy. You can follow her there and meet with her mom. Think of it as a trip for you to take a break and meet your old friend. What do you think? Iâll arrange a private jet for you and send you there?
âAsk Dad to join you too. Youâre both retired and have no pressure from work, so you can travel as long as you want. Itâs fine if you only come home next year.â
Mrs. Lewis was so mad that she hung up the phone.
âThat b*stard isnât interested in Lily at all!â
Mrs. Lewis threw her phone on the coffee table and cursed, âThat brat is too arrogant. He doesnât fancy Lily at ail when sheâs so outstanding. Is he planning to stay unmarried for the rest of his life?â
Mr. Lewis said to her, âI told you to stop worrying about him and let nature take its course. Heâs not a toddler anymore. He has his own thoughts.â
âI wouldnât worry if heâs only three years old. Do you think your youngest son is still young? Heâs thirtyâ
six years old, and heâll turn thirtyâseven in a few months. How far is that from forty?
âOther people have almost become grandfathers at the age of forty, but your son is still unmarried even though heâs approaching his forties. How can I not worry about him? Heâs the oldest bachelor left in our circle.â
Mr. Lewis instinctively said, âJulian is also an old bachelor.â
Mrs. Lewis glared at her husband. âJulian is a few years younger than your son, okay? Your son is thirtyâseven years old, whereas Julian is only thirtyâfour or thirtyâfive years old.â
She figured that Julian was around that age.
Mrs. Lewis did not care how old other peopleâs sons were. She only remembered that Julian and her youngest son were about the same age.
âDuncan is only thirtyâsix.â
âHis birthday is coming soon. Heâll be thirtyâseven when the time comes.â
Mr. Lewis said, âHis birthday isnât even coming soonâ¦â
Relationship matters could not be forced.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewisâ youngest son was unsophisticated and straightforward. He could not understand women well and was very slow when it came to relationships.
Even a person as slow as Zachary could be enlightened, but Duncan had always been slow.
Mr. Lewis felt that Duncan would only have a chance to be off the market if he found a girlfriend who could make him change.
âDerek, why donât we throw a party and invite all the young ladies of legal age in Wiltspoon? Duncan can choose from them and see if he can find the right one.â
âThere are only a few ladies in Wiltspoon youâre fond of, and Duncan knows them all. He wouldâve liked them long ago if he did. Why should we throw a party for a blind date?â
Mrs. Lewis pouted.
She had high requirements for her daughterâinâlaw.
