suspected her son was using Zachary as a shield. “Mrs. Lewis, it’s perfectly fine. I’m happy just to have your company. Duncan, feel free to proceed with your plans,” Lily said perceptively. She subtly tugged at Mrs. Lewis’s clothing, signaling her to ease off on Duncan. “Mom, can we eat? I’m really hungry,” Duncan interjected, changing the subject. Mrs. Lewis quickly instructed the maids to set the table. Duncan then turned and headed toward the dining room. “Lily, that’s just how Duncan is. I hope you won’t take it personally,” she added. Lily smiled and replied, “No worries, I don’t hold it against him. I came over unexpectedly when he already had plans. It’s not fair to ask him to change them for me. By the way, when he mentioned Zachary, did he mean Zachary York? The Wildridge Manor he referred to is the old York residence.” Although Lily was from Bellville, she had some knowledge of Wiltspoon’s upper class. “He is the eldest son of the York family. It’s not surprising that many people don’t know his first name. Zachary is married and has a partner, yet he still doesn’t allow his friends to bring young women to gatherings at his house.” Lily, intrigued, asked, “I heard his wife is an orphan from a farming village. How did he end up marrying her?” “It was arranged by Old Mrs. York. That Hunt woman is indeed parentless, but she does have a sister—they relied on each other for support. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Stone is their aunt. They only reunited last year, and because of that, Mrs. Stone held a grand banquet to celebrate the occasion and invited us,” Mrs. Lewis explained. She recalled Liberty vividly, primarily because of her weight. When Mrs. Lewis first saw Liberty, she felt a wave of disgust. However, she didn’t remember much about Serenity.
However, she was aware that Zachary favored Serenity above all others.
