The first thing the next morning, Duncan got up anxiously. He got changed and went out the door after
washing up without even eating breakfast.
He was terrified that his mother would shove Lily on him and make him accompany her everywhere.
In the face of a mother who was always urging him to get married, the best policy was to leave.
Truth be told, Duncan could understand where his mother was coming from since he was already
thirty- six, after all, and not twenty-six. His eldest nephew was about to get married too while as the
youngest uncle, he still had no girlfriend. How could his mother not be worried then?
The result of escaping to Brynfield so early in the morning and calling Zachary at the entrance to the
neighborhood was-
“Go away!” Zachary was still lying on his bed with his wife in his arms. When he received the call from
his good friend, with a dark expression, he bluntly replied Duncan with those two words.
“Why are you so fierce? Considering our many years of friendship, what’s the big deal about me
coming over to your place to have breakfast?”
“Bro. What time is it now? You came over so early! You came over without even eating breakfast, is
there a tiger in your house that wants to eat you?” Zachary replied Duncan hotly.
He had not planned to cook today and had specially asked Kevin to bring breakfast from the hotel since
it would have been on the way as Kevin was heading back to the manor too.
If Kevin could hear Zachary’s thoughts, he would have said that it was not on the way at all and that
because his eldest cousin had asked for it, his route had to become “on the way”.
Duncan took a look at the time and said, “It’s almost seven. I decided I would come for breakfast so
naturally, I came earlier.
“Zachary, you’re a psychic. There really is a tiger at home-a tigress, in fact. I’m afraid I’ll be consumed
until no bones are left, so I came to your place to escape. You’re my best shield, you know.”
Zachary was speechless.
When it came to Duncan who always spoke the truth, Zachary had no way of countering him.
When Serenity woke up and opened her eyes to see her man was still lying beside her, but had an
inexplicable expression on his face, she asked, “Babe, who is it?”
“A refugee,” Zachary said as he hung up on Duncan.
A refugee?
Serenity did not respond for a moment. She asked curiously. “Who’s the refugee?”
“Who else could it be, other than Duncan? Josh has Ms. Sox now, so he no longer needs to take
refuge away from home.”
Serenity blinked as understanding dawned on her. She laughed and said, “Are the Lewises
aggressively nagging him to get married?”
“I think Mrs. Lewis must have invited some rich young lady who she has set her sights on to become
her daughter-in-law to stay at their house and Duncan doesn’t like it. That’s why he fled here to come
and use me as a shield.”
Serenity sat up and hugged her husband in sympathy, but her face showed amusement. “Mr. Lewis is
thirty-six this year, isn’t he? You can’t blame his family for being anxious about him. If it were me and I
had a son that old who was still unmarried, I’d be anxious too.
“What time is it now?” Serenity asked as she picked up her phone to look at the time.
“It’s time to get up and make breakfast.”
As she said that, she lifted the covers to get out of bed.
Zachary hugged her and pulled her back, falling back onto the bed together. “There’s no need to make
breakfast today. I’ve asked Kevin to bring a few servings of breakfast with him when he passes by here
before he leaves for the manor.”
“When did you ask him?”
“While you were asleep.”
Zachary indulged in her presence as he hugged her. “Let’s lie back down for a while. It’s fine even if
you can’t sleep. I’ll be extremely happy if I can just hug you like this.”
Serenity smacked his big, unbridled hands away. Liar.
It would be weirder if she believed him. Men’s words while in bed could not be trusted.
