NOVPUBChapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Did Adrian Zhekova Consult the Old Madam When He Became Single Again?_1 Chapter 1048 -1048: Did Adrian Zhekova Consult the Old Madam When He Became Single Again?_1 Peggy Lewis didn’t hear it.
“I would like to, but not really yet,” Lyke Zhekova dodged the question, which pretty much amounted to admitting it.
Truly, Third Old Master Zhekova never expected Lyke to agree so readily.
He really thought Lyke was going to deny it and then explain.
This unexpected answer left Third Old Master Zhekova stunned, unable to utter a word for a good minute.
Third Old Master Zhekova then asked, “So it’s true?”
Third Old Master Zhekova was indeed excited.
Lyke quickly glanced at Peggy Lewis.
...
With Peggy right in front of him, he didn’t dare to be too direct.
He simply said, “I’m working on it, and hope it will indeed happen soon.”
Third Old Master Zhekova just laughed: “What’s the matter?
The girl is here, it is inconvenient for you to talk?”
“Yes,” He didn’t want to scare her away by being too explicit, “I will talk to you about it later.”
“Alright,” said Third Old Master Zhekova, “But make sure you act quickly.
Even if she’s not your girlfriend yet, bring her over for a meal, so I can meet her.”.
Third Old Master Zhekova trusts Lyke’s judgment.
Being so picky as he is, he wouldn’t easily be fooled by anyone.
Both sly, no one can trick the other.
That Lyke took so long to find someone he likes speaks volumes about his criteria and standards.
Even though he never openly said it, he has a clear standard in his heart, just like a ruler.
So, Third Old Master Zhekova is not looking to scrutinize Lyke’s choice.
He simply wanted to see out of curiosity, what kind of girl Lyke likes.
Last time at the Major Cooking Competition, Third Old Master Zhekova couldn’t attend the finals because of his poor mobility.
As such, he didn’t meet Peggy Lewis when she visited the family mansion.
Old Madam seemed to have met her though.
And she even spoke highly of the girl.
This made Third Old Master Zhekova even more eager to meet her.
“Alright, then I’ll find a time,” Lyke agreed.
He certainly planned to bring Peggy Lewis home to meet the family.
But right now, he couldn’t speak openly about it.
Even though Third Old Master Zhekova could hardly wait to see Lyke bring Peggy home immediately, he wasn’t expecting so at this time.
It was already enough for him that Lyke agreed directly.
“Great, then.” Third Old Master Zhekova was quite pleased, and he ended the call cheerfully.
Not long after, Old Madam called.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Aunt,” Lyke said helplessly.
“Lyke, are you still on the road, not having dinner yet?” asked Old Madam.
“Yes, still on the road,” Lyke confirmed.
Peggy Lewis, sitting nearby, didn’t dare to make a sound.
She also began to sense that something was not right.
How come after taking a call from Cindy, Lyke received two consecutive calls from family elders?
Did they perhaps misunderstand something?
“Since you haven’t eaten, then you should come and join us for dinner.
Cindy is also here.
It’s been a while since Peggy and Cindy have met, right?
This could be a good opportunity for them to catch up,” Old Madam suggested.
She also wanted to let Cindy find out about the progress of Peggy and Lyke’s relationship.
Old Madam had everything planned perfectly.
But then Lyke replied, “Peggy just mentioned she wanted to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and make soup for me.
So, we won’t be coming, we’ll visit another day.”
Given Old Madam’s eagerness, he was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to refrain from asking too much and reveal too much if Peggy came over tonight.
Just from Old Madam directly calling Third Old Master Zhekova, Lyke could tell that Cindy must have asked many questions on the phone.
Even if Peggy didn’t confess, Cindy had probably guessed a lot.
Why else would Old Madam know so much?
It must have all come from Cindy.
If they went over now and let Cindy ask more questions…
Even if Old Madam remained discreet, Cindy could easily spill the beans.
However, Old Madam’s ability to gather intel was extremely high.
Even when Lyke tried to be cautious, Old Madam was still able to detect a clue from his words.
She excitedly asked, “Huh?
She’s making soup for you?
Is Peggy in your car right now?
So, you two are going to buy things together from the supermarket?”
“If you’re going to buy food together, then you must be having dinner together, right?
And Peggy will do the cooking?
So that means you’ll have dinner at home,” Old Madam reasoned, breaking it down one by one.
Starting with the soup, each of her step went deeper and deeper.
Despite Lyke not explicitly saying anything, it was Old Madam who extended it to such a length.
“So, are you going to have dinner at her place, or your place?” Old Madam inquired further.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Talking to Old Madam was proving to be much more exhausting than talking to his father.
Lyke sighed and said, “We’re going to eat at my place.”
“Oh, it’s already seven o’clock!
By the time you get home and sort things out, it’ll be past eight.
Making soup is a slow-cooking process,” Old Madam noted, “It will take at least an hour.”
“Cindy told me that she gave Peggy those recipes, and the best way to make soup is to simmer it for two to three hours.
Keeping it on low heat so that all the nutrients slowly seep out from the ingredients into the soup.
Are you planning on having dinner at midnight?” Old Madam said with a grin, “Is Peggy planning to stay at your place till midnight, or are you staying at her place till midnight?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Old Madam was proving to be quite a handful!
Now that Old Madam was aware of what was going on, she, of course, wouldn’t invite them over for dinner anymore.
It would be bad if she disrupted Lyke’s time with Peggy because of this.
“Alright, we won’t ask you to come then,” Old Madam decided, “You and Peggy spent time together nicely.
If you go to her place, try and stay there.
If she comes to your place, try and keep her there.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Of course, even if she stays, you can’t take advantage of young Peggy,” Old Madam reminded.
“Am I that kind of person?” Lyke asked, sounding tired.
“Who knows with you?
After being single for so long and finally finding someone you’re fond of, it’s easy to lose control,” Old Madam suggested.
“Haven’t you heard the saying?
If you’re careful while you’re single, you’ll go wild once you’re dating,” Old Madam said.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“I’ve never heard of it,” Lyke grimaced.
It felt like Old Master’s coffin lid was about to burst open.
“Of course, I’m not saying you shouldn’t do anything.
It’s okay to tease her a bit.
But only moderately,” Old Madam clarified.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Has Adrian Zhekova hired Old Madam as his dating consultant for when he stops being single?
