NOVPUBChapter 1052: Chapter 1052: Does This Kid Have a Problem_1 Chapter 1052 -1052: Does This Kid Have a Problem_1 “There wasn’t anything before, life was smooth sailing and peaceful, not much to talk about,” Cindy Clarke said with a laugh, “but there’s something today.”
“Oh?” Adrian Zhekova asked with interest, “What happened today?”
It so happened that Cindy was asking him today when he would be back.
Adrian’s expression immediately became serious: “Did someone bully you?”
When she was bullied, she thought of him.
She thought how nice it would be if he was by her side.
Adrian’s logic was on point.
“No, who can bully me now?” Cindy laughed.
Or rather, who dares bully her now?
...
“So you were not bullied?” Adrian asked, “I’m thinking, you mentioned something happened today, and asked me today when I would return.
You wouldn’t be asking for my support, would you?”
“What are you thinking!” Cindy gave him a playful smack, “Am I the kind of person who only thinks of you when something happens?”
Adrian thought, perhaps in the past it wasn’t so, but now she certainly seemed to be leaning towards the less considerate side.
However, Adrian would only mutter to himself about this.
Not a word of this would he dare utter out loud.
“It was Peggy.
It seems she is quite close with Fourth Uncle.
Today, she even asked me for a stomach nourishment recipe, claiming she wanted to make it for Fourth Uncle,” said Cindy.
“You wouldn’t believe it, but Peggy is generally too lazy to cook for herself.
Let alone making porridge or stew, she wouldn’t even bother cooking noodles and mixing them herself,” Cindy added.
“But for the sake of Fourth Uncle, she’s willing to make stomach-nourishing soup and porridge,” Cindy continued, “Of course, that’s not the main point.
The main point is that Peggy is already so close with Fourth Uncle.
When I called her today, she was sitting in Fourth Uncle’s car.
He had picked her up from the company.”
Adrian was better at picking out the key points than Cindy was.
Becaude he understood Lyke Zhekova better.
Adrian felt, Lyke’s intentions must not only cover picking up Peggy after work.
Uninteresting and straightforward tasks were not Lyke’s nature.
If he was doing something, it certainly meant that he was prepared for the consequences afterwards.
Lyke wouldn’t do little by little, slow and steady work.
He thought that was inefficient.
Doing just the task of picking up Peggy every day was not Lyke’s style.
“I shall call Fourth Uncle,” Adrian suddenly said.
Anyway, he wasn’t sleepy yet.
Cindy was taken by surprise by his sudden move, she hurriedly asked, “Why are you calling Fourth Uncle?
In the middle of the night?”
It’s not good to disturb people at this time.
“I have a suspicion that needs verification,” Adrian replied.
Cindy blinked her eyes, a suspicion?
“You will know in a moment.” Adrian instilled a sense of mystery.
He reached for the mobile phone and directly started to dial Lyke’s number.
Cindy: “…”
She felt a bit sympathetic towards Lyke at the moment.
Without bothering anyone, just mentioned in passing, he was about to be disturbed.
Lyke was sleeping soundly, especially after his trip to the supermarket with Peggy at night.
It felt somewhat like the experience of a newlywed couple.
So Lyke dreamed that he and Peggy got married.
He would work overtime at the company on Saturday.
Peggy had no need to work overtime, so she would leisurely stew soup for him at home.
She even planned to deliver it to him at noon.
In the dream, Peggy seemed to have thought of something, so she called him.
Lyke heard his mobile phone ring.
The ringing sounded so real, as if it was right next to his ear.
So realistic that it didn’t seem like a dream.
Lyke was then thinking, can dreams be so real?
However, the ringtone of the mobile phone sounded increasingly real.
The image in the dream became blurrier and farther away.
Gradually, Lyke’s consciousness became somewhat clearer.
Listening to the mobile phone ringing, it seemed so real, as if it was ringing right by his ear.
Because he didn’t answer the call for a long time, the phone automatically hung up.
But Adrian, still persistent, redialed.
On Lyke’s side, he had just realized that the world was peaceful, confirming that the phone ringing was fake.
He had just relaxed when the ringtone rang again.
This time, Lyke was jolted awake by the ringtone.
Now he opened his eyes fully and regained his senses.
That was a dream.
Lyke felt deeply regretful, how wonderful it would be if it was not a dream!
His dream was just too blissful!
All thanks to the disturbing ringtone, otherwise he could continue his beautiful dream for a while longer.
At this point, Lyke was quite agitated by the phone ringing.
He reached for the mobile phone, he had to see who was so inconsiderate as to call in the middle of the night.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the light from the mobile phone screen seemed particularly glaring.
The brightness was so harsh that Lyke narrowed his eyes.
It took him a while to somewhat adjust to the brightness of the mobile phone screen.
But he still couldn’t open them fully as he would usually do.
Still squinting, he managed to recognize that the caller was actually Adrian.
“Is this kid out of his mind!” Lyke grumbled as he picked up the phone.
Lyke picked up the call and asked grumpily in its bad mood, “What is it?”
He knew that Adrian was on a business trip and there was a time difference.
Seeing Adrian call him at this time, he thought Adrian was still abroad and hadn’t come back.
Lyke grumbled, “Don’t you know about time differences?
It’s the middle of the night here!”
Who knew, Adrian’s next reply was even more infuriating: “I know, I’m already back in the country.
There is no time difference with you.”
Lyke: “…”
His temper was explosive.
If Adrian was right in front of him, he would definitely throw the mobile phone in his face!
“You…” Lyke was rarely rendered speechless with rage, “Since you already knew, is there something so urgent that you had to call at this time?”
He heard Adrian say, “Fourth Uncle, are you at Peggy’s house?”
Cindy, on the other side, gasped at Adrian’s words, hurriedly covering her mouth, afraid that she would make a sound and Lyke would hear it.
“No, I’m at my own house.” Lyke replied.
Adrian nodded, then asked, “Then is Peggy at your house?”
Cindy thought, was this the suspicion Adrian was referring to?
Is Peggy living with Lyke?
Peggy is really outrageous!
This major event, she didn’t even tell her!
Lyke: “…”
He needed to think of how to reply.
Mainly because he just woke up, he was still very drowsy, and his brain was not as quick as it usually is.
Therefore, he did not think of a good reply for Adrian quickly.
Look at how in sync Cindy and Adrian were.
She immediately called Peggy. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
If Adrian could hear another ringtone through the phone, it would mean that Peggy was even sleeping next to Lyke.
Cindy didn’t care about disturbing Peggy in the middle of the night anymore.
