Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1319

Chapter 1319

Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.

“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”

It was not like Lily had no other suitors.

Duncan was silent.

“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”

“No.”

Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once–fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.

He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.

Why did he suddenly think of her now?

He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.

Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.

Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll try fighting for you. If I can’t win, I’ll give

up.”

She would try her best no matter what she did. If she lost even after trying, she would admit

defeat.

There was no shame in admitting defeat since it was like letting herself go. If she refused to admit defeat and stubbornly pestered him, she would be the one getting hurt. It was the same as harming herself.

Duncan said, “I’m too busy to date.”

“It won’t take much of your time. We’ll just go out for meals together, take walks, go on a road trip during the weekends, or watch movies when we’re free.”

Duncan was speechless.

“Since you don’t plan on meeting me halfway, I’ll run to you first.”

Lily was formally telling Duncan that she wanted to pursue him.

Duncan looked at this brave girl. Her efficient and firm attitude ticked his boxes, but he could not bring himself to agree with her. He always felt that she was not the person he wanted.

“We all have the freedom to like the person we want to like. You can do whatever you want, Ms. Harmon, but don’t go home crying to your family and get your elders to teach me a lesson if you get hurt.”

Duncan felt that he would not accept Lily’s feelings, so he said those unpleasant words bluntly. He wanted Lily to be mentally prepared to lose and not to think about using their parents to pressure

him.

The person who could pressure him was no longer alive.

Lily smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.”

Duncan stood up and asked, “Do you still want to stroll? Let’s go one more lap before going back to the house for a rest. We have a banquet to attend tonight.”
