_1 Chapter 1070 -1070: Are You The Girlfriend of Theorem?
_1 On the way here, Peggy Lewis had heard Lyke Zhekova explain.
She knew that Third Old Master Zhekova was now having trouble with his legs and feet, so he mostly used a wheelchair for help.
So, even though she hadn’t seen him before, Peggy Lewis made a guess.
This elderly man in the wheelchair must be Third Old Master Zhekova.
Sure enough, she heard Lyke Zhekova introduce him: “This is my father.”
Peggy Lewis was a bit confused, unsure of what to call him.
...
She was on equal terms with Cindy Clarke, and also on equal terms with Lyke Zhekova.
It felt wrong, somehow, to call him Third Old Master.
According to Lyke Zhekova’s generation, she should call him Uncle.
But calling him Uncle also seemed even more wrong to Peggy Lewis.
However, she quickly came up with a suitable title, hurriedly calling out, “Third Old Master Zhekova.”
From the moment Peggy Lewis walked in, Third Old Master Zhekova was observing her even before he had time to focus his attention on her.
Being a man who had weathered countless storms in the shopping mall, he was particularly good at discerning people.
When he heard Lyke Zhekova say that Peggy Lewis was capable at work, Third Old Master Zhekova imagined a strong woman in the workplace.
He expected her to be worldly, with a strong presence, smart, and cunning.
He even mumbled to himself, surprised that Lyke Zhekova liked this type.
Wouldn’t it be exhausting for two such cunning people to be together?
Normally, it would be more suitable to complement each other.
But when he saw Peggy Lewis today, he found that she was nothing like what he had imagined.
Third Old Master Zhekova even began to question whether everything Lyke Zhekova had told him about Peggy Lewis was true.
How could the real-life Peggy Lewis be so unlike what Lyke Zhekova had described?
She looked so simple, her eyes reflected no cunning at all, she looked like she was going to get wrapped around Lyke Zhekova’s little finger.
Third Old Master Zhekova warmly greeted Peggy Lewis and asked her, “You’re Lyke’s girlfriend, aren’t you?”
Lyke Zhekova: “….”
He nearly choked on his own saliva.
Ever since last time when Adrian Zhekova had lodged a complaint with Third Old Master Zhekova.
The Third Old Master Zhekova had been calling Lyke Zhekova every morning.
Asking him if he had managed to win over Peggy Lewis yet.
Lyke Zhekova was nearing the end of his rope.
How could it happen that quickly?!
You don’t have anything one day, and then the very next day, it’s all resolved? 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Even if the speed of a rocket is fast, it still needs time to launch, doesn’t it?
This morning, the Old Master hadn’t called him.
Lyke Zhekova had let out a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it would have been super awkward if the Old Master had suddenly called him and asked him that question while he and Peggy Lewis were in the car together.
Lyke Zhekova even speculated that maybe it was because they were meeting today, so the Third Old Master Zhekova had mercifully decided to let it go.
Who knew, the Third Old Master Zhekova was waiting for him here.
Peggy Lewis was so shocked that her face turned very red, like smoke was about to come out from her ears.
She spent all her strength frantically denying it, “No, no, you’ve misunderstood!”
This misunderstanding was enormous!
How embarrassing!
If this caused Lyke Zhekova embarrassment, if he thought they were too close, and that’s why people misunderstood.
If they couldn’t even be friends because of this, that would be awful.
When Peggy Lewis thought about possibly not being able to be friends with Lyke Zhekova, she felt a heavy weight in her heart, it was very uncomfortable.
Lyke Zhekova had not expected Peggy Lewis to have such a strong reaction.
Did she really not want to be his girlfriend?
Lyke Zhekova was very heartbroken.
The Third Old Master Zhekova glared at Lyke Zhekova.
He always claimed that things were almost there, so it turned out he was just bluffing him!
What a disappointment!
Peggy Lewis felt extremely awkward.
Who knew she would come across such a problem as soon as she entered the house.
It made her visit seem more like she was accompanying Lyke Zhekova to meet his parents.
Peggy Lewis also felt her visit was somewhat forced.
It didn’t seem quite right.
At this moment, Old Madam smiled and said, “Don’t just stand there, come in.”
Peggy Lewis followed Lyke Zhekova and Old Madam into the living room.
Clarke had some understanding of what Peggy Lewis meant.
After all, they were not together yet, she was afraid of being misunderstood as acting overly fond of him.
The more she worried about this, the more it showed how much she cared.
“I heard you’ve been making soup and porridge for Lyke recently, taking care of his stomach.” Old Madam said with a smile, “You are so thoughtful.
Lyke lives alone, and doesn’t like strangers to hang around his house.
We live far away and are getting old, we can’t always go to his house.
We wanted a housekeeper to take care of him, but he doesn’t like having strangers at home.”
“With you so carefully supervising and reminding him by his side, we are much more at ease.” Old Madam reminded Third Old Master Zhekova, “You think so, too, don’t you Third Brother!”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Third Old Master Zhekova nodded eagerly.
Before Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis arrived, they had discussed that whatever Old Madam said today, Third Old Master Zhekova would agree with.
After all, Old Madam was the one who had successfully solved Adrian Zhekova’s single status problem, she has so much more experience than him.
He couldn’t go wrong leaving this matter to Old Madam.
Lyke Zhekova seldom found Old Madam’s words so pleasing to his ears.
Look at how much better Old Madam’s way of speaking was compared to Third Old Master Zhekova.
She said that he didn’t like strangers wandering around his house, yet he let Peggy Lewis live there.
Didn’t that mean, in his eyes, Peggy Lewis wasn’t a stranger, but part of his inner circle?
Moreover, since there were no other people keeping a check on his health, only Peggy Lewis was left to do it.
Did that not mean Peggy Lewis could no longer refuse him?
Look at Old Madam, in just a few short sentences, there were so many key points.
Third Old Master Zhekova needed to learn from her!
“Old Madam, how did you find out?” Peggy Lewis thought, the Zhekova family elders actually knew that she had made soup for Lyke Zhekova.
Then did they also know about her living at Lyke Zhekova’s house?
Would the elders think she was being too casual?
It seemed unseemly to move into a man’s house when she had nothing to do with Lyke Zhekova.
“It was Lyke who told us that you made soup for him.
He was touched and pleased and couldn’t help but tell us about it.” Old Madam said with a smile, “He also mentioned the danger you faced from a former colleague.
It’s just too dangerous.”
“This is the trouble with a girl living alone.
If you face danger, girls are vulnerable.
Firstly, physically, they’re much weaker, which worries us a lot.” Old Madam added.
Picking up on the hint from Old Madam, Third Old Master Zhekova chimed in, “Yes, with Lyke around, we feel much more at ease.
This time Lyke finally did something right.
It turns out he does have some gentlemanly qualities, and isn’t completely hopeless.”
Peggy Lewis hadn’t expected that the elders not only knew about her living at Lyke Zhekova’s place, but they even supported it.
They didn’t seem to think it was at all inappropriate for her to be living in a man’s house.
