NOVPUBChapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Little People, Big Ghosts_1 Chapter 1047 -1047: Little People, Big Ghosts_1 Cindy Clarke was well aware of Peggy Lewis’s cooking skills.
Thankfully, things like boiling soup and making porridge didn’t require much knife skills.
As long as the ingredients were well paired and one was willing to put in the effort to simmer it slowly over low heat, everything would be fine.
Given the level of Peggy’s concern for Lyke Zhekova, she was certainly patient enough.
After Cindy hung up the phone, she immediately encountered the eager gazes from Old Madam and the little one.
It was so touching that Cindy couldn’t bear to ignore it.
“It’s Peggy,” Cindy admitted openly, “She just asked me for a stomach-nourishing recipe, she wants to nourish Fourth Uncle’s stomach.”
Old Madam’s sitting position on the sofa moved forward significantly.
...
“Oh, they’ve been in contact since the last time they had dinner together?” Old Madam said with a piercing gaze.
The little one was also holding onto Cindy’s arm, “Tell us, tell us quickly.”
Cindy laughed and gently tapped the little one’s nose.
Toylike but thoughtful.
At such a young age, he already knew about adult romance.
“I’m not quite sure about the details, but Fourth Uncle was right next to Peggy just now, so she probably didn’t feel comfortable sharing too much.
She just said that Fourth Uncle has been helping her a lot, and I guess, since Fourth Uncle is able to help her, he must have been spending a lot of time with her.”
“Peggy is an independent and capable individual.
Because of that, she’s normally reluctant to ask others for help, especially from people she is not familiar with.
Her acceptance of Fourth Uncle’s assistance indicates that their relationship has at least become quite intimate.”
Cindy also folded her arms and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect this.
It hasn’t been long, but Fourth Uncle is pretty decisive.”
Cindy pondered while inhaling, “I wonder when Fourth Uncle started visiting Peggy secretly.”
Old Madam clapped her hands in elation, “I can’t believe he’s finally come around at this age.”
“Why would you say that?
Fourth Uncle’s age isn’t that old after all.
Sure, by family-making standards, he might be slightly late.
But age-wise, Fourth Uncle still can be considered in his prime.”
“That’s true,” Old Madam thought to herself, “I hope before long, we’ll be adding an extra chair during our family meals.”
“Oh, I should inform Third Master about this delightful news.” Old Madam started to look for Third Master Zhekova’s number in her mobile phone, “Third Master has had it tough as well, being a grown man and not having much of a social life on his maternal side.
He has had to go through the trouble of playing matchmaker for Lyke himself.
It really was hard on him.”
“I’ll let him know right now to ease his mind,” Old Madam said.
Cindy laughed, “I’ll grab my laptop and compile a list of stomach-nourishing recipes for Peggy.”
Old Madam nodded, completely focused on her call with Third Master Zhekova.
Cindy brought over her laptop when she and the little one came to stay at the family mansion.
She retrieved her laptop and sat down on the floor in the living room, placing it on the coffee table.
Nowadays, Cindy felt quite at ease in the mansion, as comfortable as she would be in her own home.
Nobody in the mansion would constrain her, they’d let her do as she pleased.
As Cindy was compiling recipes, Old Madam finished her call with Third Master Zhekova and chimed in, “It really is better to have a doting wife by one’s side who cares for him like this.”
“Look at Lyke back in the day, when he had no one by his side.
Who would worry about his weak stomach and take care of it?” Old Madam remarked.
Although family members would care, they didn’t live together and it was never that convenient.
“Now he has Peggy caring for him and improving his health, how warm his life has become,” Old Madam stated.
Cindy compiled the recipes quickly.
While Lyke and Peggy were halfway through their journey, Peggy received the recipes from Cindy.
“Will we pass by a Supermarket during our trip?” Peggy asked Lyke.
“There is a large Supermarket on the way,” Lyke replied straightforwardly this time, “I heard you asking Cindy for recipes earlier, do you want to improve my stomach health?”
“Yes.
Cindy is an expert, following her advice can’t be wrong.
Even if we can’t fully restore your health to its previous state, we can at least protect your stomach from becoming weaker,” Peggy explained.
“Then let’s go buy some ingredients at the supermarket later,” Lyke suggested with a smile.
At the same time Peggy received the recipes from Cindy, she also received a message from her: “What exactly is happening between you and Fourth Uncle?”
Peggy was left speechless: “…”
“Come on, don’t worry about me,” Cindy reassured her, “I’m just curious.”
“I asked Vincent, and Fourth Uncle is not usually very helpful,” Cindy recalled, “And with your personality, you wouldn’t correct him, which shows that you two have a pretty good relationship.
It’s not as simple as having met a couple of times.” 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
According to Vincent, Fourth Uncle is quite indifferent to almost everything in life.
He’s a bit cold by nature and enjoys quietude.
He used to complain about the girls introduced to him for being noisy,” Cindy revealed, “It now seems that he didn’t find the girls noisy, but rather that he didn’t have feelings for them.”
Peggy, on the other hand, was rather talkative.
“Fourth Uncle…
is he really like that?” Peggy asked in surprise, which was the complete opposite of the Lyke she knew.
Peggy couldn’t help but think of her behaviour after she met Lyke, and found that none of it seemed to match Lyke’s preferences.
She was instantly confused.
But then she saw Cindy’s next message: “He’s not like that by nature.
He’s like that to outsiders.
Towards his family, and those close to him, he’s completely the opposite.”
Peggy: “…”
Was it like that?
Peggy couldn’t help but glance at Lyke, who was driving by her side.
For people close to him, he would act the complete opposite.
Peggy thought, she and Lyke were indeed quite close.
After all, she had moved into his house.
“Fourth Uncle is helping you this much.
I reckon he must think quite highly of you,” Cindy commented, “This shows that he considers you as his own.”
Any more, and Cindy felt it would be inappropriate to say.
She concluded, “If there’s anything you want to know about Fourth Uncle, and you feel shy to ask him directly, you can ask me and I’ll help you ask Vincent.”
That way, she could conveniently find out about Peggy’s thoughts as well.
Cindy felt she was too brilliant.
On one side, Cindy was chatting with Peggy.
Lyke received a call from his father.
“Lyke, I heard from your Fourth Aunt that you have a girlfriend now?” Third Master Zhekova asked straight away.
Well then!
If Old Madam had heard this, she would definitely shout that she had been wronged.
What she told Third Master Zhekova was obviously that Lyke seemed to have a girl he was rather close with recently.
However, once it got to Third Master Zhekova, it somehow turned into a girlfriend.
Thankfully, Lyke was using his bluetooth earphones.
