Chapter 1218
Mrs. Lewis wanted to know if Liberty and Duncan were in frequent private contact.
Lily overheard Mrs. Lewis instruct someone to look into Liberty’s recent activities and asked, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t think Duncan is interested in Liberty, do you?”
“Liberty is divorced and overweight. Duncan’s standards aren’t that low, but we still need to be cautious. It’s possible Liberty might be interested in Duncan. Lily, I want my daughter-in-law to be someone like you.”
Even if Liberty had never been divorced, she still would not meet Mrs. Lewis’s standards.
Lily paused. “You’re right; I hadn’t considered that. I just assumed Duncan would never be attracted to a divorced woman. Since you disapprove of her, I won’t worry about her either.”
“Lily, Duncan has always been single. There are no rumors or scandals surrounding him, but he has never actively pursued a girl either. He can be a bit awkward when it comes to emotions, but if someone manages to win him over, he’ll shower that woman with a lifetime of affection.”
“Don’t underestimate Liberty. She’s Mrs. York’s sister, and Duncan is good friends with Zachary. If they meet frequently and spend more time together, who knows what might happen? Liberty might become ambitious and aspire to be like her sister, rapidly climbing the social ladder.”
“Therefore, the person you should be most cautious of is Liberty. If you notice anything, I trust you can handle it.”
Lily’s expression turned serious, no longer underestimating Liberty.
Duncan may not fall in love with a divorced woman, but there was no assurance that the divorced woman wouldn’t develop feelings for him.
“I understand, Mrs. Lewis.”
Lily was confident in her ability to win Duncan over.
The more he avoided her now, the more he would spoil her when he eventually fell in love.
“Let’s visit Lewis & Co. and take a look,” Mrs. Lewis suggested.
Lily replied, “Duncan is very busy. If we disturb him at the office when we have nothing to do, it might affect his work and make him dislike me even more. He could think I’m using you to pressure him.”
Mrs. Lewis smiled and playfully teased her, “You’re already taking Duncan’s side and worrying about him. Fine, I’ll take your advice. Let’s go shopping instead. I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
“I don’t need anything, Mrs. Lewis,” Lily responded.
Lily didn’t require Mrs. Lewis to buy her clothes or bags; she had plenty of those already.
What she truly lacked was a husband.
“You didn’t bring a formal dress, did you? Let’s look for gowns. I have a banquet in two days, and I’ll ask Duncan to join me, so you should come too. But you’ll need a gown to attend. It’s too late for tailoring now, so we’ll have to find you a ready-made one.”
Lily was excited about accompanying Mrs. Lewis to the banquet.
Mrs. Lewis’s social circle consisted of Wiltspoon’s upper class, and attending the banquet would help Lily quickly connect with the noble ladies there.
“It’s no issue. I sometimes buy ready-made dresses as well,” she said.
Mrs. Lewis smiled. “Lily, I’m growing fonder of you every day. You’re generous, sensible, and capable. It would be a dream come true if Duncan could marry you.”
Lily absorbed all of Mrs. Lewis’s compliments, feeling a surge of confidence.
