NOVPUBChapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Packing Luggage_1 Chapter 1145 -1145: Packing Luggage_1 Peggy Lewis: “…”
She felt her nose getting warm.
“Do we have any medicine at home?” asked Lyke Zhekova.
“Yes, we do.” Peggy Lewis handed him the ointment immediately, “You can apply it yourself.”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
This was not what he had planned.
“You’re strong enough to change into your pajamas, right?” Peggy Lewis asked.
“Yes, don’t worry,” Lyke Zhekova nodded.
“Where do you keep your pajamas?
I’ll get them for you,” Peggy Lewis offered.
...
“They’re in the second drawer on the far left of my wardrobe,” Lyke Zhekova replied.
Peggy Lewis went over and pulled out the drawer, to find Lyke Zhekova’s pajamas neatly folded.
Lyke Zhekova did not like having strangers in his home.
He disliked it even more when unfamiliar people touched his clothes, let alone his intimate pajamas.
So, other than the housekeeper who came for routine cleaning, no one else was allowed.
These pajamas were all tidied up by Lyke Zhekova himself.
As a grown man, he actually folded his clothes so neatly.
Peggy Lewis put the pajamas next to him, “Remember to change into these, also remember to apply the ointment.”
“Don’t worry,” Lyke Zhekova nodded, “I’m feeling a lot better now.”
As for Peggy Lewis applying the ointment for him, he had already given up hope.
Peggy Lewis reassured him and then reluctantly left, closing the door for him.
Lyke Zhekova waited a while longer, then he heard the sound of the door opening and closing from the room next door where Peggy Lewis was.
Only then did Lyke Zhekova swiftly undress himself.
Since he was not drunk in the first place, he quickly took a brisk shower.
Feeling refreshed, he came out and changed into his pajamas.
At this time, his mobile phone beeped.
It’s a message on Whatsapp.
Lyke Zhekova opened it and saw that it was from Peggy Lewis: “Have you applied the medicine?”
Lyke Zhekova typed and deleted several times.
Finally, he sent: “I feel I can barely cope without it, it should get better after a few days, so I didn’t apply the medicine.”
“Without the medicine, you can still tolerate it.
But you have the medicine and you still won’t apply it.”
After Lyke Zhekova received this message from Peggy Lewis, he heard the sound of the door opening from the room next door.
Soon after, there was a knock on his own room’s door.
Lyke Zhekova got up to open the door.
But Peggy Lewis did not know that he was already at the door and knocked twice to signal him that she was coming in.
In fact, after knocking on the door, she opened the door herself.
Just at that time, Lyke Zhekova was also opening the door.
Peggy Lewis was pushing the door from outside.
Lyke Zhekova was pulling the door from inside.
Peggy Lewis did not feel any resistance. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Any normal person, not knowing someone was at the door, would naturally walk in immediately after opening the door.
And so, Peggy Lewis directly walked in.
Little did she know, Lyke Zhekova was standing right in front of her.
Peggy Lewis walked straight into Lyke Zhekova’s arms.
This was not what Lyke Zhekova had planned, no TV drama he had seen included this scene.
Lyke Zhekova subconsciously held Peggy Lewis’s waist.
Peggy Lewis had also changed into her pajamas, a soft and loose white T-shirt and shorts.
The neckline of the T-shirt was not wide, it just happened to reveal her collarbone.
To say it was sexy would be a stretch.
But to Lyke Zhekova, no matter how he looked at her, she seemed extremely tantalizing.
The warmth of his palm permeated through Peggy Lewis’s thin T-shirt and scorching her waist.
Lyke Zhekova could clearly feel Peggy Lewis’s muscles on her waist tighten up, becoming even more firm and slender.
Peggy Lewis hurriedly pushed back, and Lyke Zhekova conveniently closed the door from behind her.
Although he did not continue to advance, he trapped Peggy Lewis between him and the door.
“I didn’t know you were at the door,” Peggy Lewis’s voice trembled.
Lyke Zhekova did not want to take advantage of the situation, and it took all his strength to restrain himself.
His fingers were even itching to caress her waist.
Fortunately, before his fingers moved, Lyke Zhekova swiftly pulled back his hand and took a gentlemanly step backward.
The room was brightly lit.
The blush on Peggy Lewis’s face traced all the way down her neck and into her collar.
“I came to make sure you put on the medicine,” Peggy Lewis explained, “Have you had a bath?”
He had the fragrance of shower gel, it smelled very nice.
“Yes,” replied Lyke Zhekova, “I felt a bit better, so I thought it was better to have a shower before sleeping.
But I didn’t take a bath, just a quick rinse, so there won’t be any harm.”
Peggy Lewis nodded.
She didn’t have the energy to discuss these details now.
She even felt embarrassed to stay longer in Lyke Zhekova’s bedroom.
She felt like hitting her head.
What was she even doing in Lyke Zhekova’s room in the middle of the night!
She didn’t want Lyke Zhekova to misunderstand that she was trying to seduce him.
“I…I’ll go back now,” Peggy Lewis said.
“Alright,” much to her surprise, Lyke Zhekova didn’t make up an excuse to keep her.
It’s not that he didn’t want to.
But Lyke Zhekova didn’t trust himself right now.
If Peggy Lewis stayed, he couldn’t guarantee what he would do.
He didn’t want to hurt Peggy Lewis.
He didn’t want Peggy Lewis to fear him, or to think ill of him.
“I’ll apply the medicine, don’t worry,” Lyke Zhekova reassured.
“Okay, goodnight,” Peggy Lewis said, lowering her head and leaving.
Lyke Zhekova felt, though he wasn’t sure if he was overthinking, that Peggy Lewis seemed very dejected.
Then again, it could be that she was just embarrassed.
After all, he’s a man, and despite his thoughtful nature, he can sometimes miss the mark.
Lyke Zhekova laughed lightly, then dutifully applied the medicine.
However, Peggy Lewis’s mood was nowhere near what Lyke Zhekova imagined.
She returned to her room feeling down, frustrated to the extreme.
She had only gone to personally supervise him applying the medicine because she was afraid he wouldn’t take it seriously.
Perhaps, because she was too familiar with Lyke Zhekova, she hadn’t considered the misunderstandings that could arise from going to his room at this late hour.
Moreover, Peggy Lewis felt that she did have ulterior motives, she actually wanted to spend more time with Lyke Zhekova.
So she despised herself even more, looking down on herself.
She had ulterior motives indeed.
Now thinking about it, she had been staying at Lyke Zhekova’s house for so long, it wasn’t appropriate.
Any danger that existed had already passed.
She was still shamelessly living here, doesn’t that sound wrong?
Thinking like this, Peggy Lewis pulled out her suitcase.
She started packing up her things and putting them into her suitcase.
There were also a few things in the coat room outside.
But she didn’t feel comfortable going out to organize them now.
The to and fro of walking around would make noise, once Lyke Zhekova found out, he wouldn’t let her leave anyway.
He’s all high and mighty, with a clear conscience.
But she couldn’t take advantage of him like this.
Making up her mind, Peggy Lewis suddenly felt relieved and went to sleep.
***
The next morning, although Peggy Lewis’s mood had lightened a bit, the embarrassment from last night still lingered.
Her interactions with Lyke Zhekova were not as natural as before.
Lyke Zhekova had no idea about Peggy Lewis’s true feelings, still in high spirits, thinking their relationship had made great progress.
Peggy Lewis never looked at him in the past with as much shyness as she did this morning.
