She felt she could learn a thing or two from her about winning a man\u2019s affection.<\/div>\n<div>At twenty-eight years old and currently single, Lily recalled a brief relationship she had at eighteen or nineteen that ended poorly. After that, she joined her family\u2019s company and became too engrossed in work, which is why she had not dated anyone since.<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis hoped to set her up with Duncan, and both families supported the idea. Lily was aware of Duncan\u2019s history as a former gangster, and she accepted it.<\/div>\n<div>She was not bothered by the scar on his face, believing that if she could make him fall in love with her, she could persuade him to undergo minor plastic surgery to remove the scar and restore his handsome appearance.<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis chuckled at Lily\u2019s enthusiasm, saying, \u201cYou will. Zachary and Duncan are very good friends.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Lowering her voice, Mrs. Lewis added, \u201cWhile Serenity Hunt\u2019s background isn\u2019t particularly impressive, being Zachary York\u2019s wife carries weight. It would be beneficial for you to get to know her and build a connection.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She worried that a proud and strong-minded woman like Lily might underestimate Serenity, who was Zachary\u2019s most cherished person, especially since Zachary was also close friends with Duncan. If Lily were to date Duncan, she would inevitably have to integrate into his social circle.<\/div>\n<div>If Lily were dismissive of Serenity, it could offend Zachary and jeopardize his friendship with Duncan.<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis did not want to jeopardize Zachary and Duncan\u2019s relationship.<\/div>\n<p>source of wisdom. <\/p>\n<p>In Wiltspoon, the only individuals Zachary considered close friends and confidants were his son and Josh Bucham. <\/p>\n<p>Lily smiled and remarked, \u201cMrs. Lewis, I understand. Ladies don\u2019t inquire about a person\u2019s origins. Ms. Hunt\u2019s talent enabled her to become Mrs. York. I admire her greatly, so why would I look down on her?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Even if Serenity were a beggar, as long as she had captured Zachary\u2019s heart, Lily would regard her as the finest among all women and someone worthy of learning from. <\/p>\n<p>While Lily was highly skilled in business, she felt she lacked experience in winning men over. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that you think this way. Let\u2019s go eat,\u201d Mrs. Lewis said affectionately as she led Lily into the dining room. <\/p>\n<p>As they entered, they overheard Duncan on the phone with Zachary. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. York was busy preparing a heartfelt dinner for his beloved wife, as Serenity was feeling down and reluctant to go out to eat; thus, Zachary took it upon himself to cook. <\/p>\n<p>Old Mrs. York had not returned, and no one knew where she had wandered off to this time. <\/p>\n<p>In the past, Serenity would have worried about Grandma May, but now that she was aware the elderly lady was busy matchmaking for her grandsons, Serenity no longer felt concerned about her whereabouts. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary had also informed her that his grandmother had once been a formidable leader in intelligence during her youth. <\/p>\n<p>She gradually eased into retirement after marrying Zachary\u2019s grandfather, yet many from past generations still spoke highly of her. Even now, when the current head of the Bucham family and his son\u2014who specialize in intelligence\u2014met Grandma May, they showed her immense respect and regarded her as a source of wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>You are an expert in the field. Serenity remained seated on the swing, quietly observing as the sky outside transitioned from light to dark. Suddenly, a ringing sound interrupted the silence; it was Zachary\u2019s phone. He paused his activities to retrieve his phone and check the caller ID. \u201cDuncan,\u201d he answered. \u201cZachary, for the barbecue at your family home tomorrow, please remember to prepare extra chicken thighs\u2014they\u2019re my favorite. I haven\u2019t had them in ages, and I really miss your barbecued chicken thighs.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1041 Lily expressed her curiosity, saying, \u201cI wonder if I\u2019ll have the chance to meet Mrs. York.\u201d Although she [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13019\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
