Chapter 643 – The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel Free Online

Zack snapped, “Who else could it be if not me? You?”

“I don’t have such a high EQ to think of these ideas to make women happy.”

Zack glared at him. “Of course you don’t. The only thing you know is to collect money.”

Duncan asked, “What money did I collect?”

Zack did not explain further.

Duncan was puzzled.

Serena poured a glass of warm water each for the two guys. She was about to go and prepare some fruits.

Zack pulled his wife to sit beside him. He said, “Honey, just ignore him. He comes here often and is more familiar with this villa than you are. He can help himself to whatever he wants to eat.”

“That’s right, Serena. Don’t bother about me. I’m familiar with this place.”

Duncan did not dare let Serena serve him.

His friend’s face had been as dark as charcoal ever since he saw him.

It was as if his face was covered in a layer of soot.

“What happened? Lily hasn’t left yet?” Zack asked his friend with a cold expression.

“She hasn’t. I don’t know how long she intends to stay. My mom likes her a lot. She calls me every few days to ask me to go shopping with Lily and buy her a meal. I refused all of them with the excuse that I was busy.

“However, my mom brought her to live in my villa. She’s my mother, so I can’t chase them out. Since they’re not budging, I left.”

Duncan sounded aggrieved.

He was probably the man who was most pestered to get married in the whole world.

Unfortunately, it was his mom nagging him to get married. He could not do anything to her.

Lily was thick-skinned too. No matter how Duncan acted, she would accompany his mom happily.

Lily also managed to please his mom to the point he lost his mom’s favor. She listened to everything Lily said.

Duncan knew Lily was the vice president of Harmon Corporation. She was a strong woman. Harmon Corporation and Lewis & Co. were equally excellent. Although they were not in the same city, he obtained detailed information about Harmon Corporation because of Lily.

His mom must have taken a liking to Lily not only because she was old friends with Mrs. Harmon but also because she had her eye on the Harmon family’s wealth and status.

“If you want Ms. Harmon to leave, then it’s simple-bring a woman home.”

Duncan’s face fell. “Who can I bring back? You know I’m single. I’ve never met a woman I’m attracted to-someone I want to marry and protect. I keep thinking my woman isn’t born yet.

“Maybe I’ll have to wait about twenty more years to meet her and end my life as a single guy.”

Zack and Serena were speechless.

“Zack, I’ll just stay here for a few days. I don’t believe Lily won’t leave after a few days.”

Duncan said brazenly, “I can pay rent. Just treat it as if I’m renting your place.”

Zack said with a glum face, “You even brought your luggage-what else can I say? You can stay here as long as you want. Serena and I will move back to Brynfield tomorrow.”

Duncan said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Zack.”

“Go to a hotel if you’re ashamed.”

“I’m not. It’s not my first time having a short stay in your house. Josh and I often stayed over in the past. We would always do so when we drank too much or it was too late.”

Zack was speechless.

He pulled his wife to stand up with him and said coldly, “You can stay in the guest room that’s furthest from the master bedroom. Rest early.”

After that, he went upstairs with Serena.

Zack complained when they returned to their room, “When have I become Duncan’s shield? Has my place turned into a shelter for him?”

Serena laughed and said, “Mr. Lewis only came to stay for a few days because he had no other choice. You two have been friends for so many years.”

“He didn’t run out of choices. He’s just using me as a shield. He doesn’t have a low EQ because he was aware of Lily’s feelings for him. But he doesn’t have a high EQ either. He bought Sonny a few sets of clothes and collected money from your sister afterward.”

Serena stepped forward and hugged her husband. He enjoyed her taking the initiative to hug him. Even the sound of his complaints became softer.

“Maybe Mr. Lewis really just adores Sonny and doesn’t have feelings for my sister.”

They could have been looking at Duncan and her sister with preconceived ideas.

“Seren, a man won’t treat a woman well out of the blue. If he did, then he definitely has some interest in that said woman.”

“Mr. Lewis is very nice to Sonny.”

Zack chuckled and did not give further justifications.

His nana had proven it-either Duncan had not realized his feelings yet, or he was pretending.

Zack thought it was most likely the former.

Duncan must have truly thought he was treating Liberty well because of Sonny.

He liked Sonny.

“Even if Mr. Lewis is interested in my sister, I rather hope he doesn’t like my sister. I know Mrs. Lewis has already chosen her daughter-in-law and that Ms. Harmon is a good match for Mr. Lewis in terms of social status.

“Not to mention, my sister doesn’t intend to get married again. Even if she does, she probably won’t consider Mr. Lewis.”

Mrs. Lewis was not as open-minded as Serena’s mother-in-law.

Tania thought she was not good enough for Zack but respected his decision and choice. She also never bothered her or gave her an attitude. She was nice to her daughter-in -law.

Some people were dissatisfied with Serena helping Camryn during the Dowlings’

banquet. They called Tania and tried to drive a wedge between them but they were scolded by Tania instead.

Serena heard about it from Old Mrs. York.

Otherwise, she would not have known that her mother-in-law was so protective.

Old Mrs. York said that Serena was the York family’s missus. Whether she did well or not, it was not the outsiders’ place to criticize her.

In other words, family members could criticize Serena, but outsiders were not allowed to badmouth her at all.

Serena truly liked the open-mindedness and protectiveness of the York family’s adults.

“If Duncan realizes that he likes Liberty, we can just watch from the sides and do nothing. Duncan is an assertive person. Ever since he left his family’s control and established Lewis & Co., he’s been taking charge of his life.”

“The elders of the Lewis family won’t be able to control him. If he genuinely likes Liberty, and as long as she’s willing to face everything with him, they’ll be able to be together until the end. No matter how difficult Mrs. Lewis is, she can’t do anything to Duncan.”

“Mrs. Lewis can’t do anything to Mr. Lewis, but she’ll target my sister.”

Serena sighed. “When my sister was with the Browns, she had enough of her mother-in- law’s criticisms. If she gets married again and her mother-in-law is harsh on her… I’ll feel bad for her.”

She wanted her sister to find happiness. However, she was also afraid her sister would meet another terrible mother-in-law.
