Serenity greeted Kevin and Duncan with a smile. She closed the door after Duncan entered the house.
By the time she turned around, she saw that Grandma May had asked everyone to gather for breakfast.
Zachary doted on his wife and knew what Serenity liked to eat, so he asked Kevin to bring some of her favorites. There was plenty to choose from. Even though Duncan showed up uninvited, there was enough food for everyone.
After having a full meal, Grandma May instructed Duncan, “Duncan, go to Liberty’s place now to pick up her and her son, then go to my place together.”
Duncan’s eyes flickered. He immediately wondered why he was summoned again. He asked, “Grandma May, how many people have you asked to join the barbecue?”
“I don’t know? In any case, I notified everyone in the family group chat. Everyone in Wiltspoon is to return to the manor today.”
Duncan was speechless.
It sounded like the Yorks were going to have a family meeting.
Duncan only wanted to gather with a few friends. He wanted to have a barbecue, drink some wine, and enjoy the spring scenery at the manor with them. How did it turn into the Yorks’ family gathering?
“Go. It’s getting late, and it’ll be almost an hour’s drive back.”
This was because the traffic was usually worse in the city and would take up a lot of time.
“Seren and I will take Zack’s car. Kevin doesn’t know where Liberty’s rental house is, so we can only ask you to go pick them up, Duncan. Hurry up and stop dawdling. You were the one who suggested the barbecue get-together.”
Duncan accepted his fate and took his car keys. He said while walking, “Grandma May, I only suggested a small gathering of a few friends. Now that you spread the news, it turned into a gathering of the handsome men of Yorks.
“You didn’t consider how I would feel. I’ll feel inferior.”
Grandma May replied, “If you feel inferior, go fix the scar on your face. Sonny doesn’t let you carry him because of that. But then again, he’s pretty brave. Otherwise, if he’s slightly timid, he might cry, have nightmares, and scream when he sees you.”
Duncan touched the scar on his face and wondered, ‘Is it that scary?
