Chapter 1041


    Lily said with great interest, “I wonder if I’ll have the chance to get to know Mrs. York.”


    She had heard of Mr. York before but never had the chance to meet him in person.


    Lily thought to herself that the woman who could move Mr. York definitely had something amazing


    about her. She could learn a thing or two from thedy about conquering a man.


    Lily was twenty-eight years old this year and was currently single. She had a rtionship back when


    she was eighteen or neen but that had been unfruitful. Afterward, she joined her family’spany


    and ended up too busy with work, which was why until now, she had no boyfriend.


    Mrs. Lewis had the intention to matchmake her and Duncan and both families were in favor of it. Lily


    was aware of Duncan’s past as a former gangster and she could ept it.


    She did not care that he had a scar on his face either because she felt that as long as she made him


    fall in love with her, she could make him agree to undergo minor stic surgery to remove the scar and


    recover his good looks.


    Hearing Lily’s words, Mrs. Lewisughed. “You will. Zachary and Duncan are very good friends.”


    Speaking of this, Mrs. Lewis lowered her voice and said to Lily, “Although Serenity Hunt’s background


    isn’t much to speak of, the fact that she’s Zachary York’s wife is set in stone. It’ll be good for you to get


    to know her and forge a connection with her.”


    She was worried that a proud and strongdy like Lily would look down on Serenity when thetter was


    Zachary’s most precious person while Zachary was good friends with Duncan too. If Lily were to date


    Duncan, she would inevitably have to join his circle of friends.


    If Lily looked down on Serenity, she would offend Zachary and affect his rtionship with Duncan.


    Mrs. Lewis did not wish for Zachary and Duncan’s rtionship to be affected because of Lily.

    In Wiltspoon, those who Zachary considered close friends and confidants were limited to her son and


    Josh Bucham only.


    Lily smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, I understand. Ladies don’t ask where a person is from. It was Ms.


    Hunt’s ability that allowed her to be Mrs. York. I can’t admire her enough, so why would I look


    down on her?”


    Even if Serenity was a beggar, as long as she had won Zachary over, Lily would feel that she was the


    best amongst all women and was worth learning something from.


    She was very capable in terms of doing business, but when it came to winning men over, Lily felt that


    she wascking experience.


    “It’s great that you can think that way. Let’s go eat.”


    Mrs. Lewis affectionately pulled Lily into the dining room. The moment they stepped into the dining


    room, they heard Duncan speaking on the phone with Zachary.


    A certain Mr. York was currently preparing a dinner filled with love for his esteemed and beloved wife.


    Serenity was feeling low and did not want to go out to eat either, so Zachary was personally doing the


    cooking himself.


    Old Mrs. York had not returned and nobody knew where she had gallivanted to again.


    In the past, Serenity would be worried about Grandma May, but now, knowing that the olddy was


    wandering around to secure wives for her grandsons, Serenity no longer worried about her and would


    not ask where she was going.


    Zachary had told her too that when his nana was young, she had been the head of intelligence and


    was very formidable.


    She only gradually eased into retirement after marrying Zachary’s grandfather, but many of the past


    generations still sang her praises. Even now when the current head of the Buchams and his son, a


    family specializing in intelligence, met Grandma May, they were incredibly reverent toward the olddy


    and viewed her as a maestro in the field.


    Serenity continued to sit on the swing as she quietly watched the sky outside turn from light to dark.


    A ringing sound came from Zachary’s phone.


    Zachary stopped what he was doing and picked up the call after digging out his phone and looking at


    the caller ID.


    “Duncan.”


    “Zachary, for the barbecue at your family residence tomorrow, don’t forget to prepare extra chicken


    thighs -they’re my favorite. I haven’t eaten it in ages and I miss your barbecued chicken thighs a lot.”
