Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 1267
"Mrs. Lewis."
After Liberty glanced at the picture, she handed it back to Mrs. Lewis.
After taking the photo, Mrs. Lewis asked Liberty with a warm smile," Liberty, what do you think of this girl?”
She made a point of observing Liberty's expression to see how she would respond.
Liberty gave her opinion candidly, "She looks beautiful and inspires a lot of confidence. I’d say she’s a very capable and
independent woman, very trustworthy."
Mrs. Lewis noted the calm demeanor in which Liberty answered and said," You're very good at reading people, aren't you? I
would agree that Lily here is an independent woman. After graduating from university, she joined her family's company and
started from the foundation, keeping her identity a secret the entire time.
"She climbed the ranks and is now the vice president of the company. It was only after she had been promoted to the top rung of
the company that people found out that she was the chairman's daughter and the younger sister of the president. She is a true
prodigy and a daughter of a good friend of mine."
After giving a brief introduction of Lily, Mrs. Lewis asked nonchalantly, "I’m planning to match her with my son, Duncan. Tell me,
Liberty, do you think those two make a good pair?"
Liberty continued speaking her mind rather frankly, "Based on their respective background, it does sound like they would make a
good match.
I think it's a good idea since they could collaborate in the workplace. As for looks, even though Duncan has had that accident, it
should be fine once he has his scar fixed. He would look good next to Lily.”
"I think he would like Lily as well."
Duncan had built up everything he had single-handedly. He would appreciate a self-made and independent woman. Based on
Mrs. Lewis's descriptions, it seemed to Liberty that Duncan would like this girl named Lily.
She thought it was rather intriguing that Mrs. Lewis was trying to match Duncan with the lady.

Mrs. Lewis noticed that Liberty had expressed her opinion with sincerity and made no attempts to conceal her thoughts. She was
very natural the entire way through and it would appear that she had spoken her mind.
With that, she concluded that Liberty was not interested in Duncan!
Mrs. Lewis had a rather low opinion of Liberty and refused to ever consider the prospect of her son being together with Liberty.
She maintained this opinion even though she had been steadily losing weight and regaining her previous charms. On top of that,
she was building her business and was on track for success.
If she kept this up, she was going to start raking in profit and come out a successful businesswoman.
Even so, Mrs. Lewis did not respect Liberty's ungainly background. She was a divorced woman burdened with a child-someone
like her was not worthy of her son.
Nevertheless, she found it hard to acknowledge that Liberty had not developed feelings for her son, not even in the slightest.
She thought about Liberty's failed marriage. It had only been several months since her divorce and her situation seemed like it
was trending upward at last. With this provided context, it would make perfect sense that another relationship was the last thing
on Liberty’s mind and that she had better things to pursue at the moment.
She came here intending to give Liberty a hard time, but her attempt ended up being not very fruitful. She found herself
somewhat at a loss.
"I do think they make a good match as well, the problem is Duncan is always telling me how he's too busy with work and doesn't
seem very receptive to my suggestion of him spending time with Lily. It's very troubling for me. He's already thirty-six, so he can't
be said to be young and springy anymore. How am I, as his parent, not supposed to worry about his future?" Mrs. Lewis
expressed with an exasperated sigh.
Liberty conveyed her sympathy and advised, "Mrs. Lewis, there's no way to rush these matters, and it’s even worse to try to
force it. For now, let Lily spend more time with Mr. Lewis and develop their relationship naturally. Things will progress faster
eventually."
Mrs. Lewis spoke suddenly, "Lily's family name is Harmon, she's not from Wiltspoon but she came here to survey the market and
get some investments underway. Their family is trying to expand their business by starting some small-scale businesses.

"I do think there are many opportunities for those two to see each other going forward, especially since Lily has several projects
she's interested in and plans to work with Duncan. I don't know how things are progressing and frankly, I'm not concerned about
the business side of things. I just hope Duncan spends more time with her."
