Chapter 1543
“You didn’t sleep well last night?” Duncan asked his friend out of concern.
He saw Zachary coming downstairs with a tense face. Zachary walked over and sat on the single–seated sofa.
“Didn’t you get drunk last night?” Zachary returned a question.
Duncan smiled. He said, “I only drank two glasses. I didn’t get drunk.”
After a pause, he added, “You all have someone taking care of you after getting drunk. I’m single–I have no one to take care of
me even if I get wasted, so I didn’t dare to drink so much.”
Zachary scoffed. “Ms. Harmon would’ve been happy to take care of you.”
With the mention of Lily, the smile on Duncan’s face faded.
“Nothing will happen between Lily and I. She has moved out of my house too.”
Lily was prepared to leave Wiltspoon.

“Your mom doesn’t think so. You’re here this early for my sister–in–law, right? She said she has no feelings for you.”
Duncan said patiently, “I know Liberty doesn’t have feelings for me, but this doesn’t affect me from pursuing her.
“It’s fine as long as I’m interested in her.”
Zachary glared at him.
Duncan chuckled.
Sam poured him a glass of water.

“Sam, where’s your missus?” Zachary asked.
Sam said, “Missus and Ms. Hunt are taking a walk and admiring the flowers in the garden with Sonny.”
Zachary hummed a response and did not ask more.
He stood and left Duncan to walk out of the house. It was obvious that he was going to look for Serenity

Zachary turned to glance at Duncan. He said, “Why are you following me?”
Duncan smiled. “I miss Sonny I want to see him.”
They walked together and soon met the sisters, who were walking back.

Duncan called out.
“Dunc.”

“Good morning, Mr. Lewis,” Liberty greeted calmly.
