Chapter 1165


    Duncan’s mother had mentioned Liberty to Lily before.


    Lily was most focused on Serenity though, as she wanted to get into Mrs. York’s good graces.


    Nevertheless, Duncan was certain that Lily kept an eye on Liberty since Liberty was Mrs. York’s sister.


    “I own the space and rent it out,” Duncan added in case Lily thought he was standing up the restaurant


    owner.


    Lily smiled. “No wonder you have breakfast there. You own the ce.”


    “I’m full. I can’t eat anymore. Ms. Harmon, thank you for the breakfast, but I don’t need it.”


    Thest thing Duncan wanted was to take Lily to the office.


    Lily uttered with a smile, “I’ll bring it backter. I want to get a tour of your office, Duncan. I didn’t just


    come to Wiltspoon for this. I’m here to talk business with a few major corporations too.”


    The Harmons operated their business on arge scale.


    Mrs. Lewis was hoping to have a union with the Harmons while Lily wanted to prate Wiltspoon’s


    market by having business ties with major corporations like Lewis & Co. Not only could Lily bring profit


    to Harmon Corporation, but she could also bond with Duncan over the business coboration.


    The way she saw it, although Duncan may be a brusque man, he had a delicate side to him. Lily would


    find her happy-ever-after with Duncan if she could conquer his heart.


    Having dwelled in the business world for many years, Lily loved a challenge, and the conquest for


    Duncan’s heart summoned her interest and gave her great motivation.


    Since Lily wanted to visit Lewis & Co. under the guise of a tour, Duncan was not in the position to turn


    her down. She was the daughter of his mother’s best friend after all.


    Duncan got into his car and hit the elerator, driving away pretty fast.


    Lily quickly went in pursuit of his car.


    In the diner, Liberty had no idea what had happened outside.


    Not long after Duncan left, the Browns paraded into the diner.


    The whole circus was here, including Chelsea, her husband, and Lucas. Mrs. Brown called everybody


    to the city so they could take a trip to the zoo.


    Lucas was supposed to attend kindergarten, but now that he was away from his grandparents’ care, he


    often fell ill. Since he was sick again, Chelsea took him out of school for two days to see his


    grandparents.


    Jessica was not too happy about so manying along to the zoo. On second thought, the Browns


    invited themselves. The heat would be taken off Jessica, as the stepmother, if the kidnapping n was


    a sess.


    It would be the Brown family’s fault for not having a closer eye on Sonny.


    “Sonny.”


    Seeing that Sonny was ying with Lucas let go of his mother’s hand, ran, climbed up the stool like a


    monkey, and sat next to Sonny.


    “What are you ying with, Sonny? I want to have a go.”


    The familiar voice pushed Sonny to stuff all the unassembled bricks back into the box.


    By the time Lucas sat next to him, Sonny had packed away all the things. Sonny clung to the box and


    replied, “Dunc gave me Lego.”


    “I want to y with Lego too.”


    Lucas put his hand out to grab Sonny’s bricks.


    Leaning to one side, Sonny dodged Lucas’s grubby hands. He jumped off the stool and took cover by


    his mother’s side.

    Lucas always took his stuff and picked on him. There was no way Sonny would want to y with


    Lucas.


    Although his mother and aunt’s love and concern helped Sonny move past the trauma at the Reptons’


    last year, Sonny had never forgotten about the incident.
