He and Serenity typically resided in the villa on the hilltop and their house in Brynfield.<\/div>\n<div>Both homes were conveniently located near their workplaces, making commuting easy.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan, not wanting to travel far for work, had no choice but to stay with Zachary for a while.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary, did you organize all of this?\u201d Duncan asked his friend, who wore a dark expression.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s decorated so beautifully, like a proposal or wedding setup. You could use this design for your wedding with Serenity. It would definitely impress many women.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary shot back, \u201cWho else would it be if not me? You?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI lack the high emotional intelligence to come up with ideas like these to please women.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary glared at him. \u201cOf course you do. All you know how to do is make money.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan replied, \u201cWhat money have I made?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary chose not to elaborate.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan felt confused.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity poured a glass of warm water for each of the men and was about to go prepare some fruit.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary pulled his wife to sit beside him. \u201cHoney, just ignore him. He comes here often and knows this villa better than you do. He can help himself to whatever he wants to eat.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThat\u2019s right, Serenity. Don\u2019t worry about me. I\u2019m well-acquainted with this place.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan, however, did not want Serenity to serve him.<\/div>\n<div>His friend\u2019s expression had remained dark since he arrived.<\/div>\n<div>It looked as if his face was covered in a layer of soot.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Has Lily not left yet?\u201d Zachary asked his friend coldly.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cShe hasn\u2019t. I\u2019m not sure how long she plans to stay. My mom really likes her and calls me every few days to suggest I go shopping with Lily and take her out to eat.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>I turned down all their invitations, claiming I was busy. \u201cHowever, my mom brought her to live in my villa. Being my mother, I can\u2019t just kick them out. Since they refuse to leave, I decided to go,\u201d Duncan lamented. He sounded upset, likely the most pressured man in the world when it comes to marriage. Unfortunately, it was his mother who was nagging him to settle down, and he felt powerless to confront her.<\/p>\n<p>Lily, on the other hand, was quite bold. No matter how Duncan reacted, she happily spent time with his mother. In fact, Lily managed to win his mother over to the point where Duncan felt he had lost her favor. She seemed to hang on to Lily\u2019s every word.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan was aware that Lily was the vice president of Harmon Corporation, a strong woman in her own right. Although Harmon Corporation and Lewis &amp; Co. weren\u2019t located in the same city, he had gathered extensive information about the former due to his connection with Lily. His mother must have taken a liking to Lily not only because she was friends with Mrs. Harmon but also due to her interest in the Harmon family\u2019s wealth and status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want Ms. Harmon to leave, it\u2019s simple\u2014just bring a woman home,\u201d Duncan\u2019s friend suggested. Duncan\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cWho can I bring back? You know I\u2019m single. I\u2019ve never met a woman I find attractive enough to marry and protect. Sometimes I think my future partner hasn\u2019t even been born yet. Maybe I\u2019ll have to wait another twenty years to meet her and end my life as a bachelor.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary and Serenity exchanged glances, speechless. \u201cZachary, I\u2019ll just stay here for a few days. I can\u2019t believe Lily will still be here after a few days,\u201d Duncan declared boldly. \u201cI can pay rent; think of it as me renting your place.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary frowned. \u201cYou even brought your luggage\u2014what else can I say? You can stay as long as you want. Serenity and I will move back to Brynfield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1159 Zachary owned several properties.
