Chapter 1049<\/div>\n
The next morning, Duncan woke up feeling anxious. After quickly washing up and getting dressed, he rushed out the door without even eating breakfast.<\/div>\n
He was afraid his mother would insist on introducing him to Lily and making him take her everywhere.<\/div>\n
With a mother who constantly pressed him about marriage, the best strategy was to escape.<\/div>\n
To be fair, Duncan understood his mother\u2019s concerns; after all, he was already thirty-six, not twenty-six. His eldest nephew was about to get married, while as the youngest uncle, he still had no girlfriend. It was only natural for his mother to worry.<\/div>\n
So, he fled to Brynfield early in the morning and called Zachary from the entrance of the neighborhood, but\u2014<\/div>\n
\u201cGo away!\u201d Zachary groaned, still lying in bed with his wife in his arms. Upon receiving the call from his friend, he replied sharply to Duncan.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhy are you so grumpy? Given our long friendship, what\u2019s the problem with me coming over for breakfast?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDude, what time is it? You\u2019re here way too early! You even skipped breakfast\u2014do you have a tiger at home that wants to eat you?\u201d Zachary retorted.<\/div>\n
He hadn\u2019t planned to cook that day and had specifically asked Kevin to bring breakfast from the hotel since Kevin was returning to the manor too.<\/div>\n
If Kevin could hear Zachary\u2019s thoughts, he would have pointed out that it was not in fact on the way at all; it just had to be \u201con the way\u201d because his eldest cousin requested it.<\/div>\n
Duncan checked the time and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s almost seven. I decided to come for breakfast, so of course, I came early.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cZachary, you\u2019re a psychic. There really is a tiger at home\u2014a tigress,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I\u2019m worried that I\u2019ll be consumed until there\u2019s nothing left but bones, so I came to your place to escape. You\u2019re my best shield, you know.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary was left speechless. <\/p>\n

When it came to Duncan, who always spoke the truth, Zachary found himself unable to counter him. <\/p>\n

When Serenity woke up and opened her eyes to see her man still lying beside her, but with an inexplicable expression on his face, she asked, \u201cBabe, who is it?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cA refugee,\u201d Zachary replied as he hung up on Duncan. <\/p>\n

A refugee? <\/p>\n

Serenity paused for a moment before asking, \u201cWho\u2019s the refugee?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWho else could it be but Duncan? Josh has Ms. Sox now, so he no longer needs to stay away from home.\u201d <\/p>\n

Understanding dawned on Serenity as she blinked. She laughed and said, \u201cAre the Lewises pressuring him to get married?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI think Mrs. Lewis must have invited some wealthy young lady she hopes will become her daughter-in-law to stay at their house, and Duncan doesn\u2019t like it. That\u2019s why he fled here to use me as a shield.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity sat up and hugged her husband in sympathy, though amusement was evident on her face. \u201cMr. Lewis is thirty-six this year, isn\u2019t he? You can\u2019t blame his family for being anxious about him. If I had a son that age who was still unmarried, I\u2019d be worried too.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat time is it now?\u201d Serenity asked as she picked up her phone to check the time. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to get up and make breakfast.\u201d <\/p>\n

As she said this, she lifted the covers to get out of bed. <\/p>\n

Zachary hugged her and pulled her back, causing them both to fall back onto the bed. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to make breakfast today. I\u2019ve asked Kevin to bring a few servings with him when he passes by here before heading to the manor.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen did you ask?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile you were asleep,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

Zachary embraced her warmly. \u201cLet\u2019s lie back down for a bit. It\u2019s okay if you can\u2019t sleep. I\u2019ll be really happy just holding you like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity swatted his large, eager hands away. Liar.<\/p>\n

It would be stranger if she took him seriously. A man\u2019s words in bed couldn\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n
