“I just care about my sister and nephew.”
Zack held his wife’s hand lovingly. “It would’ve been nice if we knew each other earlier.”
“If the timing weren’t right, we wouldn’t recognize each other even if we walked past.”
“They’re trying to get close to Sonny now because they want to ease the tension and improve our relationship to make me let Hank off the hook. If so, Hank will be able to get a job. They want your sister and Hank to remarry too.”
Zack had seen through all of the Brown family’s plans.
Serena figured everything out too.
“They can try everything they want, but my sister won’t fall into the same pit twice.”
Zack agreed. He thought, ‘Duncan must’ve not figured out his feelings yet.’
The Brown family kept bothering Liberty-maybe this could aid and encourage Duncan and his sister-in-law to get together.
Zack had long felt that his friend and sister-in-law were destined for each other.
They would bump into each other frequently.
Duncan mentioned that he would always meet Liberty whenever he drove a new luxury car.
After that, minor problems would easily arise in his car. Subsequently, whenever he drove a new car and met Liberty by chance, he would park the car far away and walk over to greet her.
Zack and Serena returned to the villa on the hilltop.
However, when they arrived at the gate, an expensive car blocked their road.
Their driver honked and the person in the car moved.
He pushed the door open and got out. Then, he walked over in big strides.
The driver and Jim, who was in the passenger seat, recognized the person. It was Duncan.
Jim turned his head and said to Zack, “Mr. Zack, it’s Mr. Lewis.”
Zack thought, ‘I really can’t talk about someone behind their backs. Speak of the devil.’
“Ask him what he wants.’
Did Duncan have nothing better to do than drive a car and block his way in the middle of the night?
Jim lowered the window and asked Duncan, who was walking over, “Why are you here, Mr.
Lewis?”
“Zack’s in the car, right? Zack, I want to stay at your place for some time. I’ve already brought my luggage. However, Sam said he could not make the decisions and didn’t let me enter. I had no choice but to wait for you here.”
Zack was speechless.
If Duncan were not an old friend, he would have asked the driver to step on the gas and hit the car blocking the way.
Serena was surprised. Seeing her husband’s dark expression, she asked Duncan, “You want to move here, Mr. Lewis? Why?”
“That woman keeps staying in my house and refuses to leave. She knows the address of the other houses I own too. She’ll be able to find me no matter where I stay. It’s annoying. I have no choice but to bring my luggage and trouble you two.”
The woman Duncan spoke of was Lily Harmon.
Lily was the most suitable daughter-in-law candidate in Mrs. Lewis’s eyes. Most importantly, Lily did not mind the scar on Duncan’s face. Therefore, Mrs. Lewis was trying her best to get them to be together.
Duncan did not want to return to Westwood Manor, so Mrs. Lewis brought Lily to a villa owned by her son.
Duncan’s mother knew how many properties he owned.
He could not avoid it, so he was going to use Zack as a shield again. He packed a few sets of clothes and came rushing to Zack with his luggage.
Although Duncan was dense, he knew he was disturbing his friend’s romantic time with his wife by coming over.
However, no one but Zack’s name could help him to block Lily.
Josh could not as well.
If Josh could help Duncan to block Lily, Duncan would have moved in and stayed with him.
Josh would probably think he dodged the bullet if he knew what was going on.
Serena glanced at her man. She said to Duncan with a smile, “Mr. Lewis, you can drive your car inside or move it first. We can resume talking after we get inside.”
Zack said with a darkened face, “I’ll let you stay in Seaview Villa.”
Duncan immediately said, “Seaview Villa is too far. It takes two hours to get to the seaside from the city by car. It’s inconvenient for me to go to work.”
“Babe.”
Serena said gently, “Babe, let’s talk after letting Mr. Lewis in.”
Zack let out a hmph. “Old third-wheeler.”
Serena and Duncan were speechless.
Duncan resigned to the fact that he was a third-wheeler. He was thirty-six years old. Well, he would be considered old compared to those in their twenties. He had simply accepted himself as an old third-wheeler.
However, Zack was not a young man in his twenties either. He was in his early thirties.
Duncan was only five years older than Zack.
Although Zack was unhappy, he still let Duncan move into his villa.
The romantic set-up Zack decorated for his wife was still there.
Duncan entered the house after the couple with his luggage in tow. When he saw the interior of the house, he stopped. He suspected he had come to the wrong place.
Was this Zack’s house?
It was decorated nicely with a romantic atmosphere.
Duncan did not think an iceberg like Zack had a romantic side to him.
Duncan touched his nose. He could not blame his friend for not letting him inside his house anymore. He was really a third wheel.
Zack owned many properties. He and Serena usually lived in the villa on the hilltop and their house in Brynfield.
These two houses were near their workplaces, which made it convenient to commute.
Duncan did not want to travel far for work, so he had no choice but to brazenly stay with Zack for some time.
“Zack, did you plan all these?” Duncan asked his friend, who had a dark expression.
“It’s decorated so nicely, like a proposal or a wedding setup. You can have the same design as this when you and Serena hold your wedding. It’ll surely impress many women.”
