After Mrs. Lewis said this, she asked Liberty, “Liberty, how often do you see Duncan? He’s good
buddies with your brother–in–law so I figured you see him from time to time. If you have the chance,
please help me persuade and convince him to see Lily, alright?”
Liberty smiled and assured her, “Mrs. Lewis, I’d be glad to help you out. Mr. Lewis is a wonderful
person and I do see him now and then, but I’m not sure if I could influence him that much.
“He comes to my place for breakfast most mornings and likes to play with my son. Next time he comes
over, I’ll try to put in a good word for Lily and sway him to see her more often.
“But I just have to tell you that there’s no guarantee, especially since our relationship for the most part
is just that of a shop owner and a tenant. If you as his mother could not do much to sway him, I don’t
think my words would have a much greater effect either.”
Mrs. Lewis considered this and said, “You make a good point. Still, if he shows up for breakfast
tomorrow, have a quick chat with him and try to bring up Lily’s name. See what he thinks about her.
“I’m going to take Lily to Wiltspoon Hotel tomorrow, to attend the Marshalls banquet tomorrow night, I
was hoping Duncan would join us.”
Duncan was going to attend the banquet as well, except he was going to attend by himself. He was not
bringing a partner with him nor attending with his mother.
After all, he was largely a lone wolf out there and was rather detached from his family.
Most people saw him and his family as separate entities.
Liberty sympathized with how Mrs. Lewis was concerned about her son’s future. She decided she
would do Mrs. Lewis a favor, especially considering the old lady’s relationship with her sister’s family
and her aunt.
However, she knew better than to assure Mrs. Lewis that she could convince Duncan to attend the
Marshalls‘ banquet. She doubted she had that much influence over the man.
That was strictly between the pair of mother and son.
Around this point, a group of night–shift workers who had ended their shifts showed up to have
breakfast. Mrs. Lewis promptly stuffed Lily’s picture into her bag and rose to bid a curt farewell,” Liberty,
I’ll stop taking your time. You have a business to manage.”
Liberty thoughtfully walked Mrs. Lewis to the entrance, smiling the entire time, “Be careful on your way
home, Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lewis waved goodbye to Liberty and approached a car.
She opened the door and burrowed inside before the car drove away in no time.
Liberty returned to the store to see to her customers after the car had driven off into the distance.
It was Lily who came to pick up Mrs. Lewis.
Things did not go smoothly with Duncan and there was still a lack of progress even at this point.
Charte
Since Duncan was busy with work and had endless rounds of meetings every day, she only got to
spend several minutes in his office before the secretary approached to inform her that Duncan had
another meeting to attend.
Duncan apologized curtly to her and informed her to set up an appointment with his secretary if she
wanted to further discuss the upcoming investments. That way, she would not end up wasting her time
by making a fruitless trip to his office.
“Mrs. Lewis, how have you been doing?” Lily greeted kindly.
“Liberty doesn’t fancy Duncan, does she? Did you tell her to back off?”
Mrs. Lewis expressed with a sigh, “No, it doesn’t seem like it. I intentionally slipped your picture out of
my pocket so she could see it before telling her I was planning to match you with Duncan. Her reaction
seemed very genuine and it doesn’t seem like she has any ulterior motives. “I’d say it’s safe to say that
she’s not hatching any ideas about Duncan, at least not for now.”
