NOVPUBChapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Deepening the Routine Further _1 Chapter 1058 -1058: Deepening the Routine Further _1 Peggy Lewis honestly replied, “I got up at 5 a.m.
However, since the ingredients were all prepared, all I had to do was add them to the pot.
During the remaining time, I can rest.” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Lyke Zhekova felt both moved and guilty.
Peggy Lewis certainly wanted to show him her gratitude, hence her doing this.
If it were not for him asking for her gratitude, how could she remember this matter, and seize the opportunity to express her gratitude to him.
Lyke Zhekova’s original intent was not like this, he just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her.
He didn’t intend to tire her out.
...
She’s already very tired and under a lot of stress.
Having to get up so early in the morning, she can’t even rest well.
Adrian Zhekova furrowed his brows tightly.
“When I previously mentioned you preparing breakfast, it was just a casual suggestion,” Lyke Zhekova said, “I thought breakfast should be simple, we just eat some bread and drink milk.”
If he hadn’t wanted to make Peggy Lewis feel comfortable, he actually would have preferred to prepare it himself.
Simply allowing Peggy Lewis to live comfortably at his home, without her having to do anything.
“You’re getting up so early, and you have to work during the daytime.
You already don’t have enough sleep, if this continues, you’ll be exhausted.” Lyke Zhekova said.
Peggy Lewis did not expect that, despite her efforts to cook soup and porridge for Lyke Zhekova in the early morning, he didn’t seem very happy.
She understood that Lyke Zhekova didn’t want her to tire herself out.
Lyke Zhekova made his intentions quite clear, and she did not misunderstand him.
However, she still hoped that Lyke Zhekova’s first response would be happiness, making her feel that getting up early and working hard was worth it and brought her joy.
Peggy Lewis said unhappily, “So I busied myself for nothing, you’re not even happy.”
At this moment, even though Lyke Zhekova was anxious to make things right with Peggy Lewis and explain his intentions.
He nevertheless felt a small sense of comfort.
Peggy Lewis now dares to show her unhappiness in front of him.
Before, even if she was unhappy, she wouldn’t show it in front of him.
Even if he upset her, Peggy Lewis could still smile as though she hadn’t been offended at all.
A formal, courteous, and respectful smile.
Just like how she would treat her company’s CEO or clients.
Finally, Lyke Zhekova managed to gradually close the distance between them.
It took a lot of effort for him to make Peggy Lewis unafraid of him, and truly see him as a friend.
Now, Peggy Lewis is able to express her emotions freely and without pressure in front of him.
Even so far as letting him know that she’s unhappy because of him.
This made Lyke Zhekova extremely gratified.
“I know, you want to care for my stomach, you want me to be comfortable and to have nutritious soup during lunch.” Lyke Zhekova said, “But your hard work pains me.
I realize you’ve sacrificed your own rest time to prepare this.”
“Your actions moved and delighted me, but I don’t want you to wear yourself out.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“Thinking of you sacrificing your rest time to prepare all this for me hurts me.
I brought you here to take care of you, not the other way around.” Lyke Zhekova said.
Peggy Lewis opened her mouth, but she could not find the words to say.
Her heart was beating fiercely, pounding in her chest.
At first, when she heard Lyke Zhekova utter the word “pains”, Peggy only thought that it was just something Lyke said offhand.
Seeing that Lyke Zhekova seemed to be completely unaware, Peggy did her best to assure herself not to take it to heart.
Still, she couldn’t help but blush, her ears turning red at those words.
Her heart felt warm, and she couldn’t stop herself from overthinking.
But to her surprise, Lyke Zhekova said it again.
When speaking for the second time, Lyke Zhekova couldn’t have just said it without thinking, right?
Peggy Lewis couldn’t stop her face from turning red.
Afterwards, Lyke Zhekova said something else, but she couldn’t remember what exactly.
His words “pains me” were all she could think about.
“Peggy?” Lyke Zhekova called, “Peggy?”
Only after he called her several times, and waved his hand in front of her face did Peggy finally snap back to reality.
“It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, on the contrary, I’m very moved,” Lyke Zhekova said, “How about this.
It pains me to see you do this usually.
I’ll have the housekeeper over, and she can prepare food according to Cindy’s recipe.”
For some reason, Peggy Lewis didn’t prefer this approach.
She asked Cindy for the recipes because she wanted to prepare the meals for Lyke Zhekova herself.
Lyke Zhekova noticed the unwillingness on Peggy Lewis’ face.
He couldn’t help but smile, and said: “How about you cook for me when you’re off work on weekends?”
Peggy Lewis suddenly looked at Lyke Zhekova.
“On usual days, let’s make our morning meals simple as before, some bread and milk would suffice.” Lyke Zhekova said.
No need to prepare anything.
The bread was ready-made.
And the milk too.
At most, just warm the milk up a bit, so he wouldn’t get an upset stomach from drinking it cold.
He thought, Peggy Lewis probably felt the same way as him, and wouldn’t like having a housekeeper around when she’s home.
It’s a bit inconvenient.
“My stomach is fine, it’s not that fragile.
As long as I eat on time and limit my coffee intake, it’s no problem.” Lyke Zhekova said, “With you keeping an eye on breakfast, I’ll definitely eat it on time.”
“As for lunch, because of work, I might forget or delay it.
If you’re really worried, you can send me a message on Whatsapp or call me at noon to monitor me.”
Doing it this way, isn’t he forcibly drawing Peggy Lewis’ attention to him?
And as she pays more and more attention to him, won’t she remember him more clearly and deeply?
That’s the strategy Lyke Zhekova is using now.
However, Lyke Zhekova still felt unsatisfied.
He felt that he could still extend the strategy further.
So, Lyke Zhekova then said: “Of course, if it’s just a Whatsapp message, I might not notice it when I’m busy.
Then I might miss your message.
If that happens and I don’t reply immediately or too late, then it’s definitely because I didn’t notice.”
“As soon as I see your message, I will reply immediately.” Lyke Zhekova said.
Peggy Lewis was completely led around by Lyke Zhekova.
The words “pains me” temporarily subsided in her mind.
Upon hearing what Lyke Zhekova said, she asked, “Then what’s the point of me sending a reminder on Whatsapp?
You won’t even see it.”
If she called, she might disturb him if he was busy.
But now, Peggy Lewis wasn’t as hesitant with Lyke Zhekova as before.
So now, without thinking, she was raising objections.
