Duncan said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Zachary.”
“Go to a hotel if you’re ashamed.”
“I’m not. It’s not my first time having a short stay in your house. Josh and I often stayed over in the past. We would always do so when we drank too much or it was too late.”
Zachary was speechless.
He pulled his wife to stand up with him and said coldly, “You can stay in the guest room that’s furthest from the master bedroom. Rest early.”
After that, he went upstairs with Serenity.
Zachary complained when they returned to their room, “When have I become Duncan’s shield? Has my place turned into a shelter for him?”
Serenity laughed and said, “Mr. Lewis only came to stay for a few days because he had no other choice. You two have been friends for so many years.”
“He didn’t run out of choices. He’s just using me as a shield. He doesn’t have a low EQ because he was aware of Lily’s feelings for him. But he doesn’t have a high EQ either. He bought Sonny a few sets of clothes and collected money from your sister afterward.”
Serenity stepped forward and hugged her husband. He enjoyed her taking the initiative to hug him. Even the sound of his complaints became softer.
“Maybe Mr. Lewis really just adores Sonny and doesn’t have feelings for my sister.”
They could have been looking at Duncan and her sister with preconceived ideas.
“Seren, a man won’t treat a woman well out of the blue. If he did, then he definitely has some interest in that said woman.”
“Mr. Lewis is very nice to Sonny.”
Zachary chuckled and did not give further justifications.
His nana had proven it—either Duncan had not realized his feelings yet, or he was pretending.
Zachary thought it was most likely the former.
