NOVPUBChapter 1099: Chapter 1099: This is not a misunderstanding_1 Chapter 1099 -1099: This is not a misunderstanding_1 There were no notifications on WhatsApp, indicating that no one had messaged her.
Peggy Lewis felt annoyed for no reason and turned over in her bed.
She didn’t even know what she was expecting.
Moodily, Peggy wondered why she would ever think that Lyke Zhekova would message her.
It was unnecessary even for casual friends to do that.
Peggy stopped thinking about it, opened a video app, and started watching a newlyupdated variety show she liked.
While she was watching, suddenly a notification from WhatsApp sounded.
...
A drop-down notification window also appeared.
It was a message from Lyke Zhekova.
Peggy tapped on it to read.
Lyke Zhekova was asking her, “Are you asleep yet?”
“Not yet, I’m watching a variety show in bed.” Peggy glanced at the time, it wasn’t very late.
It was only half-past ten.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis, being older, went to bed early.
Lyke Zhekova would definitely be awake at this hour too.
Peggy asked him, “What are you doing?”
Lyke Zhekova: “Not much.”
He didn’t mention that he was currently designing and renovating his room.
Knowing Peggy, if he mentioned it, she would immediately make room for him to renovate at her place.
The renovation was originally for Peggy’s sake, but it ended up driving her away, which was pointless.
So Lyke Zhekova said: “It’s just I’m suddenly not used to being the only one in the house.”
Lyke Zhekova sent this one as a voice message. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Peggy turned off the light in the bedroom, leaving only the soft, dim light from the aromatherapy diffuser on the bedside table.
The bedroom was dim, lit only by a soft, moonlight-like glow that shone faintly and softly onto her bed.
It barely illuminated a small part of the room.
It was a quiet night, and Lyke Zhekova’s voice from the phone became extraordinarily clear.
His voice was quite low, which sounded very pleasant.
Peggy even felt like putting on headphones to listen to his voice.
It sounded so good.
“Why can’t you get used to it?” Peggy asked.
Since Lyke Zhekova was sending voice messages, Peggy decided to reply in the same way.
Even though the bedroom door was closed.
The door to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis’ bedroom was also closed.
But Peggy was still worried about being overheard or possibly disturbing their sleep.
So her voice was quite low.
But it was loud enough for Lyke Zhekova to hear.
Lyke Zhekova said, “I got used to having you at home.
I got used to having someone in the house, chatting with you at night, and saying goodnight to you.
Now there’s no one in the house, I don’t even have anyone to say goodnight to.”
Peggy heard Lyke Zhekova speaking in a pitiful tone.
Lyke Zhekova’s voice was already exceptionally attractive, but now it sounded lonely and made Peggy want to comfort him.
Hearing his voice, Peggy couldn’t help but imagine what Lyke Zhekova might look like at the moment.
In her mind, she could see him lying in bed by himself, wrapped up in the blankets just as pitifully as her.
However, she just couldn’t imagine Lyke Zhekova’s face fitting this pitiful image.
“You can still say goodnight now, just send a voice message.
Quite convenient.” Peggy said.
Lyke Zhekova, being someone who seldom surfs the internet and doesn’t keep up with trending phrases.
Otherwise, he would know that there’s a term for Peggy’s type; a straightforward girl.
Lyke Zhekova internally asked himself, was that what he meant?
If that’s the case, why is he going through all the trouble to keep Peggy at home?
“Why is your voice so soft?” Lyke Zhekova asked.
“My parents are asleep.
Even though our doors are closed, I don’t want to disturb them.” Peggy explained.
In reality, she was more afraid of Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis overhearing her talking and asking her whom she was chatting with.
Plainly speaking, she felt guilty.
Still, before she could think too much about her guilt, Lyke Zhekova said, “Listening to your voice like this, it’s quite hypnotic.” He chuckled lightly, “Your voice is so soft and slow.”
“That works out then, it can lull you to sleep.” Peggy responded.
“That’s a good idea, wait a second.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“What’s happening?” Peggy asked, curious.
Then she heard Lyke Zhekova saying, “I’m going to change into my pajamas and get into bed, we can chat till we fall asleep.”
“Okay.” Peggy responded.
She had just replied when Lyke Zhekova’s voice call came in.
It came through WhatsApp.
Peggy was a bit surprised, but she quickly answered it, hearing Lyke Zhekova say, “I thought it would be more convenient for us to talk like this and not wait for messages.”
“That makes sense.” Peggy thought it was quite logical.
“Wait for me for a bit, I’m going to change into my pajamas.” Lyke Zhekova said.
Peggy wondered, hadn’t he changed yet?
She thought he had already done so.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard shuffling noises from the phone.
Obviously, it was the sound of Lyke Zhekova undressing and changing clothes.
Peggy hadn’t expected the phone’s audio pickup to be so good.
It caught the noise quite clearly.
For the first time, Peggy discovered how strong her imagination was.
She immediately had a mental image.
Thinking about the process of Lyke Zhekova undressing and changing into his pajamas.
Even though she had never been physically close to Lyke Zhekova,
Just by looking at his silhouette, she knew that he must have a great physique, the muscular lines would definitely be beautiful.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to fill out those suits.
Any clothing worn by Lyke Zhekova looked stellar.
More appealing than even runway models.
Unable to help herself, Peggy started visualising Lyke Zhekova’s muscular lines after he took off his clothes in her mind.
His arms must look amazing, but she wondered if he had abs.
Peggy imagined he would.
She had full faith in Lyke Zhekova.
By now, the image in her mind had gradually spread to the abdominal “V” lines.
“Gulp!”
“What was that noise?” Lyke Zhekova’s voice came from the phone.
Peggy snapped back to reality, only then realising that while she was letting her imagination run wild, she had begun drooling!
Peggy quickly wiped her mouth.
How embarrassing!
Thankfully Lyke Zhekova wasn’t there to see it.
She was actually drooling over a man.
“I! I was a little thirsty and took a sip of water.” Peggy explained awkwardly, “Have you finished changing clothes?”
As soon as she finished her question, she heard Lyke Zhekova laughing.
Peggy’s face turned red all of a sudden.
She understood why Lyke Zhekova was laughing.
Upon hearing him changing clothes, she became thirsty.
Making a connection like that, it was easy to infer that she was probably thirsty because of imagining him changing clothes!
This…the problem was, this wasn’t a misunderstanding!
Peggy immediately buried her face in her pillow out of frustration.
How embarrassing!
“It’s not like that!” Peggy quickly tried to explain, “Don’t misunderstand!”
“What did I misunderstand?” Lyke Zhekova feigned innocence in his response.
