NOVPUBChapter 1067: Chapter 1067: At First Glance, You Can Tell We are Not as Agile as Adrian Zhekova_1 Chapter 1067 -1067: At First Glance, You Can Tell We are Not as Agile as Adrian Zhekova_1 “This youngster, why is he being so vague in handling things?” Old Master knitted his brow in disapproval.
“If he doesn’t say so, who would know what this is?”
At this moment, the Old Madam had already asked, “What did you send?”
Lyke Zhekova was waiting for someone to ask him this.
If no one asked, it would be awkward for him to just blurt it out, ruining the atmosphere, wouldn’t it?
Fortunately, the Old Madam asked, and Lyke Zhekova quickly replied, “This is chicken soup that Peggy Lewis made for me.
It’s good for the stomach.”
“Peggy insisted on making soup for me.
She got up early in the morning before dawn, and I didn’t even know.” Lyke Zhekova took a page out of the book of the Third Old Master Zhekova and Adrian Zhekova, explaining ahead of time, “By the time I saw it, she had already made the soup.
After much pleading on my part, she finally agreed to postpone making soup for me until the weekend.”
“She works so hard, it hurts my heart.” Lyke Zhekova said.
...
Old Madam: “…”
Old Master: “…”
“Why didn’t I notice before that Lyke seems to be a bit lacking in the brains department?” The Old Master turned to the Old Madam and said.
The Old Madam snorted and said, “If he wasn’t lacking something, would he still be single at 37?
He’s not nearly as agile as our Adrian.”
“See how much effort he put into chasing Peggy, for what?
Didn’t even succeed.
Keeps showing off in the group chat- what is there to show off about?
Does he have a girlfriend who made soup for him?
Just showing off!” The Old Madam brutally criticized.
“Exactly!” The Old Master agreed the Old Madam was spot on.
The Old Master didn’t just agree verbally with the Old Madam, he also straight out asked Lyke Zhekova in the group chat, a question that struck his very core, “So, is Peggy your girlfriend now?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
What’s wrong with these people?!
Are we not a family anymore?!
Lyke Zhekova: “Peggy making soup for me is a good start.”
Old Master: “So, she’s still not your girlfriend.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Cindy Clarke was planning for her next video recording in the study room, so she didn’t check the group chat.
The old couple knew she was busy, so they didn’t disturb her.
Even with Lyke Zhekova’s matter, Old Madam felt that Lyke’s little issue wasn’t worth interrupting Cindy’s work.
He wasn’t even off the market yet.
Let’s wait until he’s off the market!
At this moment, Adrian Zhekova suddenly chimed in.
Adrian Zhekova: “@Cindy Clarke, could you screenshot this and show Peggy?”
Cindy set her Whatsapp notifications to “Do Not Disturb” mode when she was working.
Because when she’s focused on work, the sudden ringing of a notification can startle her, breaking her concentration.
This unsettling feeling is unbearable.
Now that there’s a notification, it means someone has tagged her.
So, Cindy opened her mobile phone to take a look.
Seeing that it was a family chat, Cindy clicked in and saw the message from Adrian Zhekova that tag her.
She was a bit confused at first, so she scrolled up a bit to check the previous messages, and then she finally understood what was going on.
Cindy held back her laughter.
Of course she couldn’t send the screenshot to Peggy Lewis.
But seeing what Lyke Zhekova had posted, she became certain of Lyke’s intentions.
Since Lyke had made up his mind, Peggy would definitely not be in any harm.
As for Lyke’s character, she didn’t know, but Adrian knew.
If Adrian trusted him, she would too.
Nnow that Cindy felt reassured, she could peacefully observe the developments between Lyke and Peggy.
Cindy thought for a bit, then began to type: “Should I just add Peggy directly to the group?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
These people must be doing this on purpose!
Do they even want him to get a girlfriend anymore?!
If Peggy came in and saw him showing off, how would he manage?!
Lyke Zhekova now very much wanted to leave the group chat!
There was clearly no familial love here!
Cindy Clarke: “Oh, I won’t add her, Fourth Uncle, don’t be afraid.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
“Peggy’s soup is really good, it’s clear she put a lot of effort into it.
The soup couldn’t have been this clear otherwise.” Cindy said.
Lyke Zhekova reckoned that this niece-in-law of his was way better than Adrian Zhekova.
He quickly agreed, saying, “Yes!”
“It’s just too much work for her.
I feel very sorry.” Lyke Zhekova continued to show off.
Old Master: “Don’t you have work to do this early in the morning?
Just chatting in the group, is that appropriate?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Can’t he even show off properly?!
Back when Adrian Zhekova was showing off, why wasn’t there this much fuss?
At this moment, the Third Old Master Zhekova also chimed in, “When Peggy officially becomes your girlfriend, only then you can show off all you want.
If she’s not your girlfriend yet, she could run off at any moment.
When she’s gone, won’t you have slapped yourself?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Cindy Clarke felt a pang of pity for Lyke Zhekova.
It seemed like being a perennial bachelor in the Zhekova Family was really a disadvantaged position.
Adrian Zhekova: “Good thing Cindy saved me, otherwise I would end up like Fourth Uncle.
That would be too tragic.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Then, Aria Evans came out with her response too: “@Noah Zhekova, did you see?
Find a girlfriend quick.
Otherwise, your end will be like your Fourth Uncle’s, with no say in this family.
He is at the bottom of the hierarchy in our family now.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Noah Zhekova: “I will try my best.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Frustrated, Lyke Zhekova put his mobile phone aside.
He was done talking!
These people were too disappointing!
Lyke Zhekova felt so wronged that he wished to turn to Peggy for comfort.
Peggy was the best.
She would never, unlike them, discriminate against him.
Lyke Zhekova picked his mobile phone back up, but didn’t check the family group chat.
He directly asked Peggy, “I tasted a umami flavor from mushrooms in the soup.
Which kinds of mushrooms did you use?”
Peggy was surprised when she received Lyke’s message.
She asked, “You’re drinking the soup already?”
Lyke Zhekova didn’t have the heart to tell her that it was because Adrian Zhekova and Third Old Master Zhekova had hurt him and he needed to restore his energy by drinking some soup.
Instead, he replied, “Seeing the insulated food jar, I wanted to drink some soup to warm up my stomach.
And when I thought of your first time making soup, I couldn’t help being curious about the taste, so I poured a little less than half a bowl.”
“I really did pour just a tiny bit to taste.
I intend to save the rest until you come over at noon.
We can drink it together.” Lyke Zhekova explained.
“I don’t blame you for drinking the soup.
It was made for you to drink anyway.
I just didn’t expect you to drink it so soon.” Peggy Lewis said.
“I used Lion’s Mane Mushroom.
It was in Cindy’s recipe and I also did some research.
It said Lion’s Mane Mushrooms are good for protecting the gastric mucosa, relieving gastric cold, and have a certain effect in the prevention of gastric ulcers.”
“How does it taste?” Peggy asked, her heart fluttering.
“Very tasty.” Lyke Zhekova said, “The soup is so clear, it’s obvious that you put in a lot of effort.
It’s much harder than you said, just throwing the ingredients in and leaving it.”
Peggy didn’t expect Lyke to be this perceptive to have noticed even this.
