NOVPUBChapter 1065: Chapter 1065: You still have this kind of mind _1 Chapter 1065 -1065: You still have this kind of mind _1 He had just started to speak when he was interrupted by Third Old Master Zhekova.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to argue, or that he didn’t want to explain.
And it certainly wasn’t that he felt guilty and couldn’t argue back.
Because that wasn’t his intention at all.
How could he have pursued Peggy Lewis with the intention of having her as a nanny?
No sane person could think that!
When you pursue someone and marry them, isn’t it to take care of them?
...
Isn’t every girl a princess at home?!
Why should they have to work like a horse and serve you this and serve you that after marriage?
You have hands, feet, and can take care of yourself, do you need others to serve you?
How come what you could do yourself before marriage, you have to get others to do it for you after marriage?
But Third Old Master Zhekova didn’t give him a chance to speak!
Every time he had barely started speaking, he would be interrupted by Third Old Master Zhekova.
After a while, Lyke Zhekova simply stopped speaking.
He would let Third Old Master Zhekova have his say first.
Once Third Old Master Zhekova was done, he’d see if he had a chance to speak.
“Your mother married me and I never let her lift a finger, she can’t even cook!
She can’t even boil water!” Third Old Master Zhekova said with exceptional pride.
“Such an example before you and you can’t learn?
Even making the girl make soup for you!
Scaring her away, just you wait and see how you cry!”
“Who isn’t adored at home?
Why should they come to serve you!” Third Old Master Zhekova said indignantly.
“Dad, I didn’t.” Lyke Zhekova said, “She felt bad for me because of my stomach problems and made it for me.
I had no idea, when I woke up in the morning, she was already in the kitchen.
She intended to personally take care of my stomach.
Even making soup on the weekend, it took all my persuasion for her to agree.
Otherwise, she would have to get up early tomorrow.”
“It’s not me treating her as a nanny, it’s her love for me!” When Lyke Zhekova said this, he didn’t blush in the slightest.
Third Old Master Zhekova deserved to be called that, he quickly grasped the heart of the matter.
“Hm?” Third Old Master Zhekova stopped railing abruptly, “you said when you woke up she was in the kitchen?
Are you living together?”
“Are you living at her place or is she living at yours?” Third Old Master Zhekova took a deep breath.
“That’s not right.
Didn’t you say you haven’t won her over yet?
In that case, how come you are living together?
Is this fashionable now among young people?”
“Or are you trying to play like others with some hook-up thing?” That “X,” Lyke Zhekova automatically muted for Third Old Master Zhekova.
That was unspeakable.
Surprisingly, Third Old Master Zhekova, despite his age, was quite trendy.
He even knew that term.
“No,” Lyke Zhekova said, “this is all my strategy.”
“Dad, it’s not me boasting, but I’ve been single all this time because I admit, I am picky.
Then there’s the fact I haven’t met anyone I liked, so I had no need to exert my skills.”
“Now that I’ve met her, I’m coming up with strategies one after another, endlessly.
I could even write a book with all the tactics I’ve used.” Like “The 36 Stratagems of Wooing a Wife,” “The 108 Stratagems” and such.
The names might be old-fashioned, but the tactics are new!
“What the hell is that?” Third Old Master Zhekova felt dizzy hearing Lyke Zhekova go on about “stragem stragems”.
“As it turns out, Peggy is a very capable girl.
She excels at work and is noticed by her boss, who wants to promote her to manager of the department because he is on a promotion.
But another person in the department, who used some unsavory means to compete, was exposed.
Unable to stay in the company, he was fired and blamed it on Peggy.”
“The night before last he even came to Peggy’s doorstep wanting to harm her,” Lyke Zhekova said, “Fortunately, I had just sent her home and hadn’t gone far from the residential area when I ran into that man on the road.
I suspected something was wrong and went back.”
” I caught the man red-handed.
Of course, I couldn’t leave such a troublemaker, so I dealt with him privately.
But I used a bit of a trick, I lied to Peggy that I hadn’t dealt with it, saying I was afraid she was in danger and so I brought her to my house.”
“She was originally going to Cindy Clarke’s place, but she didn’t dare to tell her parents because she was afraid they would worry.
But I said Cindy and Adrian Zhekova are living together, and no matter how close she is to Cindy, it wasn’t suitable for her to live there, right?
Besides, my house is large and there is a room for her.
After much persuasion, I was able to bring her over,” said Lyke Zhekova.
“Tsk, tsk…” Old Master marveled, “I didn’t think you were so cunning.”
“Hey!” Lyke Zhekova complained, “What are you talking about, am I stupid?”
“Since she is Cindy Clarke’s best friend, I have no doubt about her character.” If it was someone else, Third Old Master Zhekova would have doubted if she plotted this with that man. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Or was it just pretending to be pitiful, taking a step back to move forward, actually aiming to move into Lyke Zhekova’s house?
Wouldn’t an ordinary girl, if she loved herself, live together without confirming the relationship?
Even if they were dating, they would have to get to know each other for a period of time before living together.
This was also the reason Lyke Zhekova didn’t tell Third Old Master Zhekova right away.
He was afraid Third Old Master Zhekova would misunderstand.
But today the conversation got to this point, Lyke Zhekova casually brought it up.
“Even if you don’t believe in Cindy’s judgment, you should trust mine,” Lyke Zhekova argued, “Do you think I’m that easy to be fooled?”
Third Old Master Zhekova nodded silently.
Lyke Zhekova’s words were indeed reasonable.
“Also, when Cindy was pregnant with Morgan, she didn’t know Morgan was Adrian’s child.
Peggy knew even less.
But she was already best friends with Cindy and helped take care of Morgan together.
She has put in a lot of effort.
Although she is Morgan’s godmother, she treats him as her own son.”
“Of course, both she and Cindy are mutual.
Neither of them cares about who contributes more, who suffers more,” Lyke Zhekova explained, “Cindy herself has said that she was able to stick it out in the beginning thanks to Peggy’s help.”
“If didn’t have Peggy supporting her, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on till now,” Lyke Zhekova explained.
“Can you say that back then Peggy could take advantage of Cindy in some way?” Cindy herself had nothing, Peggy had to subsidize Cindy, what could she get from Cindy?
It’s all about friendship between friends, no one is thinking about getting any benefits from the other.
Cindy only went to Third Old Master Zhekova’s house during the New Year’s with Adrian.
At that time, Cindy would not have told Third Old Master Zhekova about her and Peggy’s affairs.
Just a relative after all, no need to go into such details.
Plus, Third Old Master Zhekova was so fond of the little one, he spent most of his time playing with the little one.
