NOVPUBChapter 1079: Chapter 1079: What Kind of Top-Notch Person is This _1 Chapter 1079 -1079: What Kind of Top-Notch Person is This _1 Sister Watson thought to herself, ‘So you look down upon others’ conditions, huh?’.
Some people actually appreciate them, you know.
They’ve already gotten married, while your daughter is still single.
Mrs.
Lewis immediately caught the meaning behind Sister Watson’s words.
She was instantly irked.
Mrs.
...
Lewis didn’t mince words and retorted: “Well, there’s really no other way.
Our Peggy, let’s not talk about other aspects, her income is simply too high.
It would be rather hard for someone her age to find someone with a comparable income.
Unless she is to marry someone of a general manager’s level or higher.
But those people are older and are likely married.
That simply wouldn’t do.”
“As for those her age, there aren’t many.
We aren’t too picky, but if she dates someone with an average income, they would feel pressurized due to Peggy’s capability.
Many men these days, they don’t have great abilities, but their ego is oversized.” Mrs.
Lewis commented, “This is indeed, quite a headache.”
“In my opinion, it’s especially difficult for girls.
They live comfortably when they’re able and successful.
But the flip side is, they may also struggle to find a suitable match for marriage.
If they’re just ordinary professional women, earning an ordinary wage, they could easily get married.
But life after marriage may not be as pleasant.” Mrs.
Lewis shook her head with a sigh.
Just like Sister Watson.
Her daughter must have needed a fair share of support from home, right?
Although public service jobs are stable, the wage is fixed.
The bonus received during holidays could cover part of the living expenses.
The child can attend the government-sponsored nursery and the tuition is not high.
But nobody is going to reimburse you for the costs of extracurricular interest classes.
The combined wage of mother and father can barely cover the expenses.
Everyone has their own problems.
Sister Watson seems to think she’s settled down since her daughter got married and had a child.
But in reality, she never gets the chance to.
She still has to worry about her daughter’s living conditions.
So Sister Watson has no right to sneer at Mrs.
Lewis!
The smirk on Sister Watson’s face stiffened at that.
Everyone around knew that the Lewis family’s daughter is competent.
She bought her own house, car, established connections, earned her own money, and is about to be promoted to manager soon.
Mrs.
Lewis has retired, and so did Mr.
Lewis.
These days, the couple simply enjoys life – taking a vacation every one to two months.
They would take a trip for ten to twenty days, rest for a while after returning home, and then plan the next adventure.
Most of the time, they travel around the country.
The homeland is vast and especially the west, north, and southwest – places where population is sparse – the scenery is spectacular, making every trip worth it.
There are people who have never even visited once in their whole life.
But the Lewis couple has already traveled to all these places.
Additionally, they even take a trip overseas once a year.
Given their small pension, how could they afford such expenses?
Isn’t it because of Peggy’s financial support for her parents?
They travel as and when they like.
Speaking of envy, all the neighbors truly envy their leisurely lifestyle.
Apart from pressuring them about marriage, there’s not much to worry about.
Apart from being single, there’s nothing wrong with their lifestyle.
Mrs.
Lewis is a low-key person.
The neighbors do know that Peggy earns a lot, but they aren’t aware of exactly how much she earns.
Although they don’t know the exact amount, judging from the consumption of Mr.
Lewis and Mrs.
Lewis, flying in and out of the country, they know that Peggy earns a lot.
If it weren’t for Sister Watson constantly reminding her of Peggy’s single status, as if it were some sort of discrimination, Mrs.
Lewis wouldn’t have bothered bragging at this point.
Finally, arriving at her own apartment complex, Mrs.
Lewis hastily bade Sister Watson goodbye and headed straight home.
The man Peggy was meeting with for the arranged date was still at home, and Mrs.
Lewis didn’t feel like complaining to Mr.
Lewis about it.
Normally, it would have been better for the youth to meet outside for coffee or something and get to know each other.
Inviting him home did seem a bit inconvenient.
However, she had no other choice as Peggy might not have agreed otherwise.
The young man who came is very polite.
He immediately offered to help, “Mrs.
Lewis, shall I place these in the kitchen?”
“Oh, you don’t have to.
Please sit down.” Mrs.
Lewis replied, “Mr.
Lewis, go have a chat with Benny.”
“Coming over here and seeing you are so busy, I really feel guilty,” Benny said.
“Don’t feel pressured.” Mrs.
Lewis said with a laugh, “It’s also because one of Peggy’s friends is coming over.
I thought it’d be more lively if we all gather together.
It would help both of you avoid awkward moments.
Even without you, I still would have to prepare a big table of dishes.
It’s just one more pair of chopsticks to accommodate.”
“Her friend is also coming over, so don’t feel uncomfortable.
They are all young people, easier for you to engage in conversation.” Mrs.
Lewis said with a chuckle.
“Alright.”
Little did Mrs.
Lewis know, as soon as she and Aunt Watson separated to enter the building, Peggy and Lyke arrived.
Lyke drove around the vicinity and finally found a parking spot beneath the opposite building to park his car.
The car was somewhat large.
It’s somewhat difficult to park it in local places like these.
Wherever he goes, he usually has ample space to park his car.
Peggy’s residential area is not old and the environment is pretty good.
And it is a high-rise area.
There are both underground and above-ground parking spaces.
The legitimate parking spaces are already taken.
Lyke had to squeeze his car into the space available.
Ironically, he happened to park right under Sister Watson’s building.
Sister Watson had just parted ways with Mrs.
Lewis and returned home, crossing the street to enter her building.
Just as she arrived and was about to step up the stairs, she saw Lyke’s car pull up.
Sister Watson instinctively slowed down her steps.
There are many luxury cars in Belford, even in their residential area.
But she hadn’t seen such ostentatious ones.
Sister Watson didn’t know much about cars.
She could only recognize some famous car logos and was unfamiliar with specific models.
She felt that the car was particularly grand and majestic.
Unable to resist, she took a second look.
As fate would have it, her action delayed her just enough to see the car door open.
She saw a man get out of the car.
Even though the car was quite high, his movements were still graceful.
He had such a handsome face, and carried a mature charm.
Even Sister Watson, despite her age, couldn’t help but look twice.
She even blushed a little.
Sister Watson also watched TV dramas and read romance novels on her mobile phone at home.
At first, she started out of curiosity.
But then, she ended up getting hooked.
Sister Watson thought that the man in front of her was the perfect embodiment of the CEO characters in novels!
Not just in the residential area, but whether she’s out on the streets or shopping in the mall, she saw a lot of luxury cars.
There were young people and middle-aged men.
But Sister Watson had never seen such a handsome man!
She then saw the man walk around to the passenger side and opened the door for a woman to get out.
Sister Watson was still murmuring to herself, commenting on how good looking he is and how much elegance he has.
Truly, he’s a rare species.
