He nudged Duncan and whispered, \u201cMom is looking at you. I think she wants you to do something.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan turned to his mother and smiled. \u201cWhat\u2019s up, Mom?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Why was she looking at him like that?<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLily wants to go for a stroll. You should accompany her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis did not expect her son to appreciate her concern, so she spoke plainly, instructing him to take a walk with Lily.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan looked at Lily and said, \u201cMs. Harmon, you\u2019ve been living in my home for a while now, so you should be familiar with the area. You can\u2019t go very far, so you can just walk by yourself. You won\u2019t get lost.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis\u2019s expression darkened, and she felt like throwing something at Duncan.<\/div>\n<div>Lily smiled. \u201cYes, I won\u2019t get lost, but walking alone is boring. I\u2019d like a companion to chat with as I walk.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cCan you come with me?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>With all eyes on him, Duncan felt the urge to refuse, but he swallowed the words back down.<\/div>\n<div>He replied, \u201cThe sun is directly overhead. It\u2019s too hot.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>It was not evening yet.<\/div>\n<div>The weather in Wiltspoon began to warm up around March to April, and many switched to short-sleeved shirts by May, eagerly anticipating the use of their electric fans.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s breezy today, and not hot at all,\u201d Mrs. Lewis said. \u201cLily is our guest, so you must walk with her.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan looked at his three brothers, hoping they would come to his aid.<\/div>\n<p>They averted their gaze and refused to meet his eyes. With no other option, Duncan stood up and said to Lily, \u201cLet\u2019s go, Ms. Harmon. I\u2019ll accompany you for a walk outside.\u201d Lily smiled and replied, \u201cThank you for taking the time, Duncan.\u201d Observing the two as they left together, Mrs. Lewis happily remarked to her husband, \u201cThose two are a perfect match. Duncan just doesn\u2019t realize it. Lily is a wonderful girl, and if he doesn\u2019t make a move, someone else will take her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe only has this advantage because I\u2019m good friends with Lily\u2019s mother,\u201d she added. Derek smiled and said, \u201cDon\u2019t pressure him too much. Duncan is so intimidated by you that he moved in with Zachary.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat brat\u2026 I\u2019ll talk to Zachary tonight and ask him to send Duncan packing,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I don\u2019t think Duncan is interested in Ms. Harmon,\u201d said their eldest son, Emmett. <\/p>\n<p>The second son, Kyle, interjected, \u201cMom, you can\u2019t force feelings. If Duncan doesn\u2019t like Ms. Harmon, don\u2019t push him into a relationship. If it\u2019s not meant to be, it\u2019s not meant to be. I don\u2019t think Ms. Harmon is the type to appreciate being coerced into romance.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Lily was a woman with her own views. She only allowed her parents to set her up with Duncan because she was genuinely interested in him. However, that didn\u2019t mean she wanted to be pressured into a relationship. If she couldn\u2019t win over Duncan, she would let go. She would never marry a man who did not love her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey haven\u2019t even given it a chance yet, so how can they know they won\u2019t develop feelings for each other? It\u2019s because you always defend him that he still doesn\u2019t have a wife at thirty-six. He\u2019ll be forty in a few years, while some people will already have grandchildren, and he doesn\u2019t even have a girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1316 Lily had a habit of taking a stroll after meals.
