NOVPUBChapter 1089: Chapter 1089: But He Knows Adrian Zhekova_1 Chapter 1089 -1089: But He Knows Adrian Zhekova_1 “Morgan must have promised something to Fourth Uncle, like not calling godmother and Fourth Grandfather at the same time.” Adrian Zhekova’s guess was spot on.
“So, since Morgan just called her godmother, he can’t call him Fourth Grandfather again.
He simply went with…” dad’s Fourth Uncle.
Adrian Zhekova looked at the little one.
Quite impressive that the kid thought of that.
Meanwhile, Adrian Zhekova looked at Lyke Zhekova with sympathy.
Lyke Zhekova still didn’t understand the little one enough.
...
Could it ever be simple to negotiate with this kid?
He thought they were safe when the kid agreed readily.
Who knew they’d still step right into a pitfall.
Tsk, tsk.
He felt genuinely bad.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
The sympathy in Adrian Zhekova’s eyes was really grating!
He didn’t even consider who birthed this troublesome kid!
Wasn’t it Adrian Zhekova’s own biological child?
Morgan Zhekova, he truly takes after his dad!
Cindy Clarke nodded.
With Adrian Zhekova’s explanation, she immediately understood and found his logic sound.
But at the same time, she found it slightly vexing.
What mindset was Adrian in when he labelled Lyke as petty?
He should take a look at himself.
Having lived with Adrian for a while, Cindy now knew that Adrian was the petty one.
And not only the Pingla employees knew this.
With her confusion addressed.
Cindy got busy introducing them to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
“Uncle, Auntie.”
“I’ve always wanted to bring Adrian over to meet you.” Cindy Clarke said, smiling, “This is my husband, Adrian Zhekova.”
“Uncle, Auntie.” Adrian Zhekova chimed in following Cindy.
He was very sincere and sincerely respected Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
Usually, Cindy and Morgan would tell him how Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis took care of Morgan, treating him as their own grandson.
Just now, Morgan’s reaction to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis explained everything.
Although Morgan was sweet-talking, he was not like that to everyone.
He only sweet-talked to those he approved of.
Like the elders in the Zhekova family, or Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
Even with Adrian, Morgan kept his defenses up until he approved of him.
Adrian knew that all too well.
Just seeing Cindy and Morgan’s attitude, he knew how Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis must have treated Morgan back then.
Just for this, he deeply admired Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
Mr.
Lewis hadn’t expected Adrian to come along.
He had been in the living room with Lyke Zhekova and Matthew Xenos, watching them arguing back and forth, and was exhausted.
Barely having time to relax when Peggy Lewis and Mrs.
Lewis returned to the living room, before they could say much to Mr.
Lewis.
Adrian and Cindy arrived.
Mr.
Lewis was caught entirely off guard.
Seeing Adrian left him utterly flabbergasted. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Mrs.
Lewis was a little better off.
She was nervous at first.
But seeing Adrian being so respectful and not putting on airs.
Also, knowing about Lyke, Mrs.
Lewis was a bit less nervous though she was still somewhat tense.
“Ah, please come in, please come in,” Mrs.
Lewis said with a smile.
Adrian also carried a bunch of bags, all of them gifts for Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
Since Lyke Zhekova had already taken the bird’s nest and fish maw from the family mansion.
Adrian Zhekova did not gift the same items.
Since Cindy Clarke also understood Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
So, based on what Cindy suggested, they bought some other gifts.
They weren’t particularly expensive, just a combination of seafood.
Like fresh abalone, a selection of high-priced fish and shrimp, and dried sea cucumber.
The fresh seafood was delivered packed in a foam box filled with ice to preserve freshness.
They also brought some free-range chicken eggs, beer, Chinese liquor, red wine, and foreign spirits.
Mr.
Lewis could keep the ones he enjoyed drinking, and the ones he didn’t like could be taken when visiting relatives.
The items that Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke bought were very practical for day-to-day use.
But their value did not exceed what Lyke Zhekova had brought.
After all, today, Lyke was the protagonist.
They couldn’t upstage Lyke Zhekova.
Moreover, these gifts would bring joy to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis without creating any pressure.
Regrettably, this season was not the best for eating crab.
Despite the warm weather and low prices for crabs.
Yet, anyone who truly understood would know that crabs tasted better when the weather was cooler.
With cold weather and lower seawater temperatures, the crabs grow more slowly.
However, to adapt to the temperature, the flesh of the crabs becomes more firm and plentiful.
Especially female crabs, their crab roe is really fulfilling.
It becomes so fatty that it turns into a solid, creamy consistency.
Just grab a piece with chopsticks, dip it in rice vinegar mixed with shredded ginger, it’s extremely delicious.
According to Adrian Zhekova’s taste, crab is not really suitable to be served with vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
These two kinds of vinegar have strong, sweet flavors, which can easily overshadow the fresh taste of the crab.
Light-colored rice vinegar is more suitable.
Balsamic vinegar or vinegar is more suitable for hairy crabs, as it can get rid of the unpleasant smell and adds a sweet flavor.
But, it’s not the right season to eat hairy crabs yet.
Therefore, Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke did not buy crabs.
They bought quite a lot of fish, shrimp, abalone, and oysters from Rushan, which are loved by Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
Lyke Zhekova was also satisfied, Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke were indeed thoughtful.
Much more thoughtful than Morgan Zhekova.
“Cindy, why did you buy so many things?
It’s not your first time coming here, can you keep buying this much each time?” Mrs.
Lewis asked, although she liked the gifts, she believed it was a little too much.
“We’ll deal with future visits when they come, today is Adrian’s first time here, we should take it seriously.” Cindy explained with a smile.
Then, Mrs.
Lewis said: “Let it be for this time, but don’t do the same for next time.”
“Okay.” Cindy agreed.
What to buy next time, they will decide when that time comes.
For now, agreeing was the right thing to do.
It was only at this time that Cindy and Adrian noticed a new face in the house, Mattew Xenos.
Cindy hesitated for a moment and asked, “Who is this…?”
As for the people in Lewis’ house, although Cindy was not acquaintenced with everyone, she knew quite a few.
Seeing Mattew was very unfamiliar.
Mrs.
Lewis felt even more embarrassed.
However, compared to her, Mattew Xenos was even more embarrassed, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say he was shocked.
Although Mattew did not know Lyke, he did know Adrian Zhekova!
Even though Adrian Zhekova keeps a low profile and rarely appears in front of the media.
Regardless of this, he is now an authoritative figure in the Pingla Group.
Whenever the group makes any major decisions or experiences any significant events or achievements.
Even if he does not make an appearance, the media still needs to mention him and publish his photographs along with the news.
Although each time, they used only a few of the same photographs.
There was no alternative.
Adrian Zhekova kept such a low profile, he neither took photos nor updated his existing ones.
The media wanted to follow him but had no clue where to start.
