Married at First Sight Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482

Zachary returned to work.

His wife would pick him up from the office in the afternoon, and together they would celebrate Josh and Jasmine’s marriage.

While Zachary was able to immerse himself in his tasks, Duncan struggled to concentrate on his work.

As soon as Zachary ended the call, Duncan’s mom asked, “Duncan, what did Zachary say?”

“Mom, do I really need to share the details of my calls? You didn’t take me seriously when I was a child. Now that I’m in my thirties, you’re trying to control me. Don’t you think that’s too late?”

Mrs. Lewis was taken aback.

“Mom, you’ve said what you wanted. I need to get back to work.”

Duncan wished for his mom to leave.

After a brief silence, Mrs. Lewis suggested, “Since Josh is treating you to dinner tonight, take Lily with you so she can gradually integrate into your circle of friends.”

“No!”

Duncan firmly declined.

Mrs. Lewis asked, “Do you dislike Lily that much? What makes her inferior to Liberty? She surpasses Liberty in background, appearance, and age. She’s also far more capable.”

“Ms. Harmon isn’t superior to Liberty; she just had a better start in this life. If Liberty had the same opportunities as Ms. Harmon, she could have easily taken charge of a large group by now.”

“Mom, don’t ask me why. I don’t have the answer either, but I simply like Liberty. There’s no need to question why or when; I just need to move forward.”

Mrs. Lewis was furious.

“Mom, are you going back by yourself, or should I arrange for my secretary to drive you?”

Mrs. Lewis stood up, her face tense, and replied, “I’ll go back by myself.”

“Have a safe trip.”

Duncan smiled, his eyes squinting, despite feeling frustrated.

Mrs. Lewis called Lily after she had left Lewis & Co. She said, “Lily, Josh got his marriage license today and has invited Duncan and the others to dinner tonight. You should go with him.”

“That’s Duncan’s circle of friends. You should first blend in with them, and then you’ll gradually find your way into his heart.”

When Lily received Mrs. Lewis’s call, she was in a good mood because she had just sealed a deal with a veteran CEO.

“Okay, Mrs. Lewis, I’ll go find Duncan at his office later,” she replied.

Mrs. Lewis was delighted by Lily’s enthusiasm. She asked, “Have you finalized the collaboration you’ve been working on for the past few days?”

Lily smiled and said, “Yes. I instructed my secretary to book a flight and send me the contract. Once I sign the agreement with Mr. Ziegel, I won’t have to worry about any changes.”

Mrs. Lewis was also pleased for her. She felt that Lily’s achievements would benefit their family in the future. The more successful Lily became, the more she could help Duncan. Together, the couple could enhance Lewis & Co.

“Congratulations, Lily,” Mrs. Lewis said.

Lily thanked her with a smile.

The two chatted for a while before Mrs. Lewis hung up. Although her mood had been dampened by her son’s earlier behavior, her future daughter-in-law brightened her spirits.

Unbeknownst to Mrs. Lewis, after ending the call, Lily reached out to Duncan and shared everything.

“Mrs. Lewis isn’t going to give up. Duncan, I won’t attend the dinner with you, but in case she checks in and causes unnecessary trouble, send me a picture from the dinner later,” Lily said.

“I’ll post it on my social media. When Mrs. Lewis sees it, she’ll think we’re dining together.”

Duncan responded in a deep voice, “Mr. Harmon, if you do…

This will only make my mom more determined to set us up. Although you mean well, I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m also not worried about my mom discussing it with me.

“Apart from my granny, who had some influence, even my parents cannot interfere in my marriage.”

Duncan’s granny had passed away many years ago. He held a great deal of respect for her, but she couldn’t return from the dead to prevent her youngest grandson from pursuing Liberty.

That said, Old Mrs. Lewis and Old Mrs. York were good friends. The two had similar temperaments, and Old Mrs. York was unconventional in her approach to selecting partners for her grandsons.
