NOVPUBChapter 1144: Chapter 1144: He Pretends Quite Well_1 Chapter 1144 -1144: He Pretends Quite Well_1 Upon hearing that, Peggy Lewis began to worry a bit.
If she had really given him a bruise on his chin, it would have been incredibly humiliating for her.
At this moment, Peggy wished she could disappear into thin air.
However, Lyke Zhekova asked, “Could you help me undo my shirt so I can check?”
“What?” Peggy Lewis was taken aback.
Lyke Zhekova gave her an innocent and shy smile.
Peggy was curious as to how he could manage such a bashful and innocent smile with his usually stern and serious expression.
Peggy really wanted to learn this skill from him.
...
“I want to see if there’s a bruise,” Lyke genuinely hoped there would be one.
Even if it was the size of a green pea, that would be okay.
That way, Peggy could apply some bruise ointment for him.
After all, he was the one who caused the damage.
How could she refuse?
“Okay.” Peggy agreed, though reluctantly.
However, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably as they neared his chest.
She was incredibly nervous.
This was her first time undressing a man…
Lyke was still wearing his tie.
However, he had loosened it a bit earlier in the car as it was too tight around his neck.
At present, it was still hanging around his neck.
She couldn’t undo his shirt without taking off his tie.
Reluctantly, Peggy pulled his tie off first.
Then she began to unbutton his shirt, one by one.
By the time she reached the fourth button, Peggy tried to sneak a peek, only to find that she still couldn’t see the area where Lyke had been hit.
She had to continue unbuttoning.
Before she knew it, she had almost completely unbuttoned his shirt.
Only the lower part, which was tucked into his belt, remained buttoned.
Having unbuttoned so many already, she might as well unbutton the rest.
However, Peggy was very self-conscious.
Lyke’s belt was quite tightly fastened.
She couldn’t possibly undo Lyke’s belt.
What was she even thinking, undoing a man’s belt?
Even just picturing it was still somewhat scandalous.
But if she were to forcefully pull his shirt out, it would look extremely brutish, as if she was trying to do something to him.
Especially since Lyke was lying flat on his back, spread out in the shape of a 大, appearing completely vulnerable.
Peggy’s lips twitched a little.
She tried to unbutton his shirt more gently, but it was still a challenging task.
So she said, “This should be enough.”
Lyke nodded and said, “You hit me on the left side of my chest.
Look closely.”
Just as Peggy was about to lift his shirt, she froze.
She hadn’t noticed it before as she was so focused on unbuttoning his shirt.
Only now did she realize that although his shirt was not completely lifted, a piece of his chest and abs were showing.
Even though it was just a glimpse, the sight was incredibly provocative, alluring even.
“Since it’s already unbuttoned, lift it up and see for yourself,” Peggy said, not daring to look at Lyke, even as she was tempted to appreciate his physique.
This was indeed…
Temptation leading astray!
Lyke, however, didn’t insist on anything.
He casually lifted his shirt to one side, fully revealing his left chest.
Lyke had well-defined muscles, both on his chest and abs.
Though muscular, his chest was not overly large.
Just the right size that Peggy found attractive.
Peggy only realized tonight, how tantalizing it was for a man’s body to be partially exposed like this.
Lyke was lying there and barely lifting his head, trying hard.
“Do you see any bruising on my chest?” he asked.
Most importantly, he wanted Peggy to examine him closely.
What an opportunity!
Lyke wouldn’t let it pass by.
Peggy told herself to look carefully and not to take advantage of someone who was inebriated.
Taking advantage of Lyke when he was drunk was a definite no.
Especially when Lyke was putting on such an innocent face.
But it was just too…
Too tempting.
Peggy took a deep breath before she could bear to look over.
“There’s no bruise.
Not the slightest indication,” Peggy said, relieved.
If he had actually been bruised by her, that would have been so embarrassing.
Lyke was obviously disappointed.
“Does it still hurt now?” Peggy asked.
“It still hurts,” Lyke answered.
“Shall I find some ointment for you to rub onto it yourself?” Peggy asked again.
Lyke was surprised that he didn’t even have to bring it up.
Peggy had already offered.
He was so lucky!
“Sure, sure,” Lyke agreed hastily.
“But do we have any at home?”
“I believe we do,” Peggy replied, “I bought a variety of medicines in advance, just in case.”
This was an experience Peggy had learned from living alone.
When living alone, a variety of health problems can strike at unpredictable times.
Sometimes, they are minor problems.
Like scratches and bumps.
Sometimes, they are common colds or fevers.
Sometimes, it’s food poisoning.
Especially since Peggy depended entirely on takeouts.
You never know when you might end up with bad food.
However, these are minor issues and are not worth a trip to the hospital.
For common colds and fevers, medication usually suffices.
For scratches and bumps that were not severe, one could just disinfect and apply a bandage or rub some medicinal oil at home.
For food poisoning, you would usually be too weak to go to a hospital.
Therefore, Peggy always kept a variety of medications at home.
Even if they expired, she would replace them with new ones.
It was reassuring to have these on hand, just in case.
After moving in, Peggy brought this habit with her.
So, there should be plenty of medications at home.
Peggy bought a lot, and sometimes she would forget.
But she had faith in herself.
“Wait a moment,” said Peggy as she left the room.
With Peggy gone, Lyke took the opportunity to pull his shirttail from his belt.
Peggy hadn’t returned yet, and Lyke was considering whether or not to lower his pants, revealing his Adonis Belt.
After contemplating for just three seconds, Lyke decided to go for it.
He lowered his pants a bit to reveal his Adonis Belt.
Just then, he heard Peggy’s footsteps return.
Hurriedly, Lyke lay back flat.
When Peggy returned and saw Lyke in this state,
If it weren’t for the fact that his pants were properly worn, it would have looked like he had been violated.
Peggy gave Lyke a twitchy sidelong glance, “You…”
“I feel uncomfortably hot,” Lyke explained, “so I wanted to take off my shirt.”
He was acting convincingly.
Grasping his shirt and struggling with the last button, his long fingers fumbled, seemingly finding the small button difficult to deal with.
“Let me help,” Peggy stepped forward, helping him to undo the last button.
Unexpectedly, once the button came loose, the shirt slid to the sides, revealing his abdomen.
Peggy not only saw his abdominal muscles but also noticed two lines, known as ‘Adonis Belt,’ which disappeared below his belt.
