Chapter 1430
“Bye-bye.”
Sonny waved goodbye to Elisa and blew her a kiss, causing everyone to laugh.
Zachary personally escorted Audrey and Elisa out of the inpatient building.
“You’ve worked hard these past few days, Zachary,”
Audrey said gratefully. “It’s because of you that Seren and her sister could improve their situation. You’ve helped them immensely. Thank you.”
Zachary replied warmly, “Seren is my wife, and her sister is my sister. They’re my family, so it’s only natural for me to help them.”
Although he had supported Serenity and Liberty greatly, it was also true that their connection to him had led them into difficulties.
“You’re a responsible man. I feel reassured leaving Serenity in your care.”
Audrey had always recognized Zachary as one of the most remarkable young men in Wiltspoon. Her daughter definitely had good taste.
However, they were not meant to be together.
Instead, Zachary had become her nephew-in-law. At least he hadn’t fallen into someone else’s hands.
Audrey and Elisa departed.
Zachary walked them to their car before heading back inside.
“Zachary.”
A familiar voice called out.
Zachary turned to see Duncan approaching, holding a fruit basket in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.
“Duncan, Liberty’s ward is already filled with fruit baskets and bouquets.”
“Those are from other visitors,”
Duncan replied, feeling the need to quietly stake his claim for attention in Liberty’s ward.
“Why are you here again so late? Are you planning to compete with us for the night watch? She won’t be able to rest if you stay to watch over her at night, and it could affect her recovery.”
Duncan had kept vigil the previous night because Liberty was still in a coma.
However, now that
She was awake, but Zachary was not in favor of his friend keeping guard again. His sister-in-law was still unaware that Duncan had feelings for her.
Duncan said, “I just came over to check on her. I feel uneasy if I don’t see her.”
“And your mom allowed you to come here?” Zachary asked. Mrs. Lewis had looked down on Liberty for quite some time.
Duncan walked alongside Zachary, enlisting his help to carry the fruit basket. “My mom can’t interfere with my life. While she looks forward to my marriage, she’s doing everything she can to keep me from being with the woman I like. I’m not sure if she wants me to marry or remain a bachelor forever.”
“What’s wrong with me liking Liberty? She’s single, I’m single. We’re both free and entitled to love whom we choose.”
Duncan didn’t care how displeased his mother looked when he left the house. He was free to make his own choices.
At over thirty years old, he wasn’t a mama’s boy. Why should he adhere to his mother’s plans?
“My sister-in-law doesn’t see you that way!” Zachary reminded his friend.
It was too early to discuss marriage. Liberty’s relationship with Duncan was entirely innocent; to her, he was merely a regular customer at her store. If one were to define their relationship, it would be more akin to that of a landlord and tenant.
Duncan paused before saying, “Zachary, can you help me? Please say a few good words for me to Liberty. I think it would be great if we could go from best friends to brothers-in-law.”
