Does she think I have feelings for Liberty? Honestly, I only care about Sonny. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary recognized that his best friend\u2019s eagerness to clarify was a clear indication of his feelings.<\/div>\n<div>His nana had a keen eye for these matters.<\/div>\n<div>She wouldn\u2019t be probing Duncan if he weren\u2019t interested in his sister-in-law that way.<\/div>\n<div>In the past, Zachary had observed how fate seemed to bring Duncan and Liberty together.<\/div>\n<div>Wiltspoon was a bustling major city, yet the two kept running into each other. If that wasn\u2019t fate, then what was?<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHmmm\u2026 I adore Sonny too. It\u2019s your business whether you like my sister-in-law. It\u2019s not my concern, but I hope you only have feelings for Sonny. I don\u2019t want you hanging around the diner because of Sonny\u2019s mother.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Knowing Duncan was Zachary\u2019s best friend, he understood that Duncan would not make a good match for his sister-in-law, primarily due to Mrs. Lewis.<\/div>\n<div>Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis would not be fond of her, even if Liberty were single.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOf course, it\u2019s all for Sonny,\u201d Duncan added.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI truly care for the child. Why do you think I\u2019m interested in Liberty?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Even when he showed concern for Liberty, it was solely because she was Sonny\u2019s mother.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary, please tell your nana not to try to play matchmaker for me.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary smiled and replied, \u201cIs my nana a cupid? You all seem worried that she might take an interest in you. Don\u2019t fret. Nana is busy with all her grandsons and doesn\u2019t have time for her grandson\u2019s best friends just yet.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMr. Young-Johnson asked me to set Mr. Johnson up with some girl. Otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t be interfering in his affairs. I mean, Nana helped me get the girl. That\u2019s why Mr.<\/div>\n<p>Young-Johnson sought assistance from Nana, suggesting that she start her own dating agency to connect girls with eligible bachelors like Duncan. Grandma May would thrive in that business. If she could successfully match someone like Duncan, an eligible bachelor in his thirties, the Lewises would spare no expense to reward her generously. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan fell silent for a moment before saying, \u201cGrandma May is so young at heart. Her antics today really startled me.\u201d He avoided making eye contact with her, feeling a strange sense of guilt creep in. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, that\u2019s all I want to discuss. I just needed to vent. Dinner tonight?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. My wife is bringing me a packed dinner. I\u2019ve been dealing with an upset stomach lately, so she\u2019s preparing all my meals. She\u2019s nursing me back to health.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Noticing the pride in Zachary\u2019s tone, Duncan quietly ended the call. So what if Zachary had a wife? Duncan could find a wife if he chose to. Zachary acted as if the rest of them had no chance of getting married, believing he had bragging rights because he was already married.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary left work shortly after four o\u2019clock, surrounded by his security team, and arrived at Wiltspoon School. John\u2019s car was parked outside the shop, but all four tires were flat, making it obvious to anyone passing by. <\/p>\n<p>Though John wanted to call a tow truck to remove his car, he hesitated to do so in broad daylight for fear of Serenity\u2019s reaction. He decided to wait until her shop closed before calling for a tow and getting his tires replaced.<\/p>\n<p>By the time Zachary arrived at the bookshop, Elisa was already there. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re here, Elisa.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary felt somewhat less awkward around her now that they had spent some time together.<\/p>\n<p>broke the ice as cousins-in-law.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 985 Duncan replied, looking bewildered, \u201cWhat is your nana trying to do, Zachary?
