Chapter 3163
Ainsley finished drinking a bowl of soup, put down the soup bowl, took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and said to her son in a warm voice, "Son, you go upstairs and have a rest." You have to get up early for school tomorrow."
Zayn was very sensible; he knew what his mother wanted to say and didn't want him to know.
He got up, said good night to his grandparents and mother, and went upstairs.
Ainsley watched Zayn go upstairs. When his figure disappeared on the stairs, she said softly to her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, I know you are all doing it for Zayn and me, but the good men in Wiltspoon are much younger than me and unmarried." Besides those boys, there is another one who is quite suitable for me. He is a few years older than me and has not yet entered into marriage. He is very good, but his appearance is disfiguring. At first glance, you will find him a bit scary.
But he has his own company, is worth tens of billions, is richer than our family, and has a good character, so he won't miss our family's property."
The parents-in-law looked at each other, and the mother-in-law immediately asked, "Who is it? I know him, right?"
"Both my parents know him. He is the fourth young master of the Lewis family and the boss of Lewis & Co., Duncan Lewis."
In-laws: "Duncan Lewis!"
Her mother-in-law immediately objected: "After Duncan was in a car accident, his legs were disabled. Although he is undergoing rehabilitation, who knows when he will recover? The scar on his face is too scary; it will scare Zayn.
Duncan's conditions and character are quite good, but as you said, he is disabled now and is in a wheelchair. You recruit a man to come back, mainly for you to rely on and to take care of you and your son. I'm not asking you to take care of him.
Duncan simply cannot live without someone, and he needs someone to take care of him at all times. Duncan also likes Liberty. This is something everyone in Wiltspoon knows. If he had a car accident, it would be because of Liberty.
Duncan, Josh, and Zachary are all good buddies. They all agree that individuals who share similar interests tend to form strong bonds. Josh and Zachary are dedicated to their relationships. These are men who love their wives. Duncan will also be such a man. He already loves Liberty. Once he falls in love with Liberty, he won't choose any other woman.
The two of them have already confirmed their relationship. If you like Duncan, aren't you going to compete with Liberty or even be the third party in someone else's relationship? Ainsley, besides Duncan, isn't there anyone suitable?"
Both parents-in-law opposed Ainsley and Duncan being together.
It was unknown whether Duncan was willing to be with Ainsley.
However, people would refer to Ainsley as a mistress as long as she pursued Duncan.
They didn't want their daughter-in-law to become someone else's mistress. That would have a huge negative impact on the company's reputation. Additionally, they would become hesitant to socialize, and others might reprimand their grandson as a result.
Ainsley sighed and said, "Except for Duncan, I haven't met the right person yet. No matter how good the others are, they are just trying to make money for our family. How can I have the courage to associate with them? I am a widow with a son, so it is not easy to find one. Many people despise women who remarry with a son. It would be easier to remarry with a daughter."
No matter how powerful she was, she was a widow in the eyes of others.
It is always said that men and women are equal, but in fact, in real society, there is always a bit of prejudice against women.
Ainsley rejected the pursuit of many men who came for her money, and they went around slandering her reputation, saying that she had kept so many beauties in private and that changing beauties was like changing clothes.
She also said that her husband died at a young age and was killed by her. She claimed to be her husband's slave and threatened to kill anyone who married her.
