Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767

With Duncan’s help, Serenity managed to put all her shopping haul into her car and filled it to the brim.

“Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”

Serenity expressed her gratitude.

Duncan smiled and replied, “I’m not just business partners with Mr. Lewis. We’re friends too, and the close kind. You’re his wife. It’s only natural that I help.”

He then turned to Sonny and added, “Sonny doesn’t like me and is scared of me, but I can’t help but draw near and play with him every time.”

Duncan found it amusing even though Sonny was scared to tears and burrowed himself in his mother’s embrace.

Sonny would think Mr. Lewis was treating him like a pet monkey.

“We got to go, Mr. Lewis.”

Liberty carried her son into her sister’s car and said goodbye to Duncan.

“Bye.” Duncan took strides to his car parked by the side of the road after Serenity started the engine.

Once they were gone, Jessica nudged the grimacing man next to her. With Hank scowling, Jessica remarked, “What? Are you angry that a man was all over your ex- wife?

“Hank, you and Liberty are separated! She’s no longer your wife. What’s with that face?”

Getting a grip on himself, Hank wanted to explain his way out of it, but it was true that he puckered his brows. There was no excuse for that. In the end, he said, ” Jessica, I guess it’s the trait of most men. Men don’t see a problem finding a new love after a divorce, but their egos would be bruised if their ex–wives were getting some action.

“In other words, men don’t want their ex–wives to be better off.”

While loading the things into the car, Hank mocked, “Do you think Liberty has the looks to impress Mr. Lewis? Mr. Lewis will be thirty–six next year. I bet he has seen many gorgeous ladies in his lifetime, but he’s still single. It can only mean that he’s very picky when it came to women.

“There’s no chance Liberty can marry Mr. Lewis. Maybe in another life when she’s born into privilege. Who’s to say Mr. Lewis is still around then?”

“Doesn’t Liberty have a wealthy aunt? Her aunt might introduce her and marry her into money.”

Jessica believed Liberty could not give Duncan butterflies in his stomach, but Duncan was super nice to Liberty and her son. Jessica was jealous and resentful, to say the least.

Hank got into the car, buckled up, and commented, “I’d believe if Serenity marries. into a rich and influential family. She’s young and good–looking. Even though she can fight and won’t hesitate to pull punches when she’s angry, she has a natural grace about her.

“Liberty, on the other hand… Ha! Even I don’t think she’s good enough. A man of power and wealth like Mr. Lewis will never fall for her.

Jessica answered, “Didn’t you notice Liberty has slimmed down? Mr. Lewis might have feelings for her when she shed the pounds and dress up a little. Some men have a thing for young divorcees.”
