Zachary responded faintly, “Nana, didn’t you say I'm bad at cooking?” “You are, but I'm your nana. As bad as your food tastes, I'll honor you so you'll have sconfidence.” Zachary was speechless.
Ring, ring, ring...

Serenity’s elders were going to visit for the first time, so the others had to be hto welcthem as a form of respect toward her.

After their call ended, he wound down the window to prop his hand on the car door and asked Duncan, who was in the car opposite his, “Duncan, Zachary askedto send breakfast over, so it’s fine forto cearly. Why did you cso early as well? You even cearlier than me.
“He just praisedfor coming really fast, as if he wantedto cat eight o'clock. How cyou have to wait though? Tell me, how did you offend him?” Duncan cleared his throat and answered honestly, “My mom invited her friend's daughter to stay at my place and wants to setup with her. She initially askedto accompany Ms. Harmon the whole of today, but | don’t want to, so | said your brother had askedto join him for a barbecue today. | just said that off the top of my head.

In other words, | used your brother as a shield, so he madewait here for half an hour.” Kevin laughed and said, “No wonder he suddenly said he wanted to bring Serenity back to the manor for a barbecue. It turns out that it was your idea. Even so, he wouldn't go so far as to make you wait here. You ctoo early—half an hour early. He's a man with a wife, and yet you cearly in the morning to disturb their sleep...” Duncan responded, “I didn’t think that far.” He only thought that his mom would not insist on asking him to accompany Lily if he cto find Zachary.

He brought the two of them inside.
Ten minutes later, Kevin pressed the doorbell. The tall Duncan was rather guilty after being pointed out by Kevin, so he shrunk behind Kevin.
Serenity cto open the door.
“Serenity.” Kevin greeted her while entering the house. “Zachary askedto send breakfast over.” “S... Ms. Hunt.” Duncan almost called her by her first nas Kevin did. He changed the term of address after coming back to his senses.
