Now, it was time for Lily to make her move.
The maid served tea.
Lily picked up a cup and elegantly took a sip.
Serenity opened one of the boxes and tried a dessert. As the food was good, she invited everybody to sample.
Zachary was not keen on anything sweet. He would only try it if the food was made by Serenity, so he would not bother with anyone else’s.
Duncan would prefer not to eat sweet food either. Nevertheless, he would still taste the food out of courtesy.
Now that he tried Lily’s dessert, Duncan thought his senses were not overwhelmed by the sweetness, so he took another.
Seeing that Duncan grabbed the dessert twice, Lily reflected joy in her eyes.
Although Lily said she was here to meet Serenity, everybody, excluding William and Sonny, knew Lily was here for Duncan.
Still, Serenity could feel Lily’s intention to be good friends.
Zachary and Duncan were best friends, and Lily liked Duncan. If Lily could win Duncan’s heart and be a couple with him, there was bound to be a long-term interaction between the group. Serenity was open to starting a friendship with Lily.
Aunt Audrey told Serenity not to underestimate the circle of married women in the higher society.
It was a group of connections to get intel and close deals. Since she was the missus of the York family, she needed not to cozy up to anyone. She would try not to step on other people’s toes and tried to be close to those whose friendships were worthwhile. Serenity could simply steer clear of those who had ill intentions.
Serenity was no longer just representing herself, but Zachary and the whole York family.
The philosophy Serenity upheld was not to be a drag even if she could not bring glory to the York family.
“Lunch is ready, sir, missus,” Sam said in a soft voice.
The couple invited everybody to the dinner table.
Zachary hired an instructor for Sonny for one-on-one sessions. Nevertheless, William mentioned that Sonny was a young beginner, so the boy could spend some time building a good foundation with fellow beginners at his gym.
