Chapter 1179

The pair must have returned from a shopping trip. Lily held Mrs. Lewis’s arm while carrying a few shopping bags

herself.

“Are you heading out, Duncan?”

Running into her son, Mrs. Lewis asked.

“Mom. Ms. Harmon.”

Duncan said hello before adding. “I have an emergency, Mom. Sorry, I can’t attend to your and Ms. Harmon. You

can either wait in my office or go home for now?”

“What’s the emergency?” Mrs. Lewis asked with concern.

“It’s an emergency.”

Duncan may be dense, but he was not going to tell his mother that he was ditching work to check up on Sonny.

He was afraid Mom might get the wrong idea about him and Liberty.

A lot of people took it the wrong way and believed Duncan had a thing for Liberty.

Nobody believed Duncan when he said he took a shine to Sonny. People thought he was trying to earn Sonny’s

regard to become his stepdad.

“Is it work–related?” Mrs. Lewis asked.

Duncan lied, “Yes, Mom. I got to go.”

“Alright. Go on then. Come home for dinner. Lily bought you some clothes. You can see if they fit when you’re back

for dinner. I’ll send Lily to deliver food to you starting tomorrow if you skip out on dinner tonight.”

Mrs. Lewis knew her son well.

Duncan did not have the hots for Lily, and he did not like Lily pestering him every day. Mrs. Lewis needed to

threaten him so he would come home for dinner.

“Also, stop staying over at Zachary’s place. He’s a newlywed and wants to spend time with his wife. Your presence

is making you the third wheel. Don’t you have a home? Don’t you have a house? Why must you stay at Zachary’s

place?

“Move back home tonight.”

Duncan responded, “Zachary and Serenity have been married for six months. They’re past the newlywed’s phase.”

“They’re intimate, so every day is like a honeymoon to them. Do you have a problem with that?”

Duncan was speechless.

“I’ll talk to Zachary if you don’t move back. Our home needs a facelift anyway. Since we don’t have a place to stay,

we can stay at his house. I’ll go wherever you go.”

Duncan was speechless.

His mom was always true to her word.

Lily was silent as it was not her place to butt in when Mrs. Lewis threatened Duncan to come home.

Mrs. Lewis was doing so to give her a chance to bond with Duncan.

“Fine, Mom. I’ll be home for dinner.”

Duncan relented. “I got to go, Mom.”

“Go on.”

With her threat taking effect, Mrs. Lewis generously waved her arm and let her son attend to business.

Duncan slipped into the lift.

Standing outside the lift, Mrs. Lewis and Lily watched Duncan go in, and the door of the lift closed.

Mrs. Lewis then took strides ahead.

Lily followed behind her.

Mrs. Lewis went to ask Duncan’s secretary about the nature of Duncan’s emergency.

The secretary replied, “Mr. Lewis rushed out after he got a call. I think something went wrong with the XX project.

That’s the most important project right now. Mr. Lewis personally keeps tabs on it.”

“Oh,” Mrs. Lewis remarked.

Lily asked, “You’re Duncan’s secretary. Why didn’t you go with him?”

The secretary answered, “My colleague, another secretary is waiting for Mr. Lewis there. The secretary follows up

on the project with Mr. Lewis, so I won’t be of much help even if I go.”

Lily responded, “Oh, Duncan has two secretaries?”
