NOVPUBChapter 1148: Chapter 1148: A Person Who Does Important Things_1 Chapter 1148 -1148: A Person Who Does Important Things_1 Now that his mind was functioning again, Lyke Zhekova thought about that discussion Peggy Lewis had with him during the day.
What time this evening would it be over?
Perhaps she was planning to call him right when it ended.
Peggy Lewis didn’t know that, even though Lyke Zhekova seemed calm, he had quietly slipped into his shoes, picked up his car keys from the bowl on the shoe cabinet near the door, and left again.
Through the mobile phone, Peggy could hear the occasional noise on Lyke’s side, but she couldn’t identify what exactly he was doing.
Above all, she was entirely focused on Lyke’s words, not bothering about anything else.
...
His self-deprecating words seemed also to mock her.
Peggy’s heart tightened as she apologized, “I’m sorry.”
He must have returned home to find the lights out, assuming she was asleep, while in reality, she had silently departed.
He must be furious, feeling deceived by her.
“There’s nothing to apologize for,” Lyke did sound irate.
She left without a word.
He had rushed back home like a fool after clearing up his obligations.
Because he thought she was waiting for him at home.
He refrained from drinking too much, coming back home delightfully cheerful.
Arriving home to a dark house, he assumed she was asleep, trying hard to be as quiet as possible, to avoid waking her.
Yet, she was already gone.
He felt like a fool
Was he angry?
Indeed, he was.
Peggy hadn’t guessed wrong.
However, Lyke’s anger was only kept to himself.
When he was really facing Peggy, he just couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her.
In fact, he felt mostly uneasy.
Why had Peggy suddenly moved out?
Everything had been fine before.
There must be a reason that made Peggy make such a decision.
Rather than being angry, he was more interested in understanding what really happened.
Lyke barely entered his house before he left again.
He drove to Peggy’s house.
“It’s late, you should rest,” hearing Lyke’s seeming disinterest in conversation, Peggy suppressed her sorrow and said, “There’s honey at home.
If you’re feeling uncomfortable, make a cup of honey to drink.
Don’t forget to have one in the morning too.”
Usually, she would prepare it for Lyke.
She wondered if he would remember to do it himself now that she was not around.
Peggy could remind him for a day, but she couldn’t keep doing it every day.
Only then did Peggy realize she had more things to worry about after moving out.
“I got used to you serving it.
I don’t know if I’ll remember,” Lyke responded.
“I…” Peggy harbored a tiny hope, “Should I remind you every day?”
“I’m too lazy to prepare it myself.” Lyke added
Peggy: “…”
She felt that Lyke might not want to talk to her anymore.
She was upset, but she knew she brought it upon herself.
“You should rest early.
Even if you didn’t drink too much, you must be tired after socializing until so late,” Peggy could only say, “If you…
if you still want to see me, please give me a chance to apologize face to face to you.
If you’re angry with me and don’t want to see me, I…”
Will just have to wait until your anger subsides.
“I won’t disturb your rest anymore, goodnight,” Peggy said as she quickly hung up.
Fearing that Lyke would grow to dislike her ever more.
Listening to Lyke’s cold voice, Peggy was genuinely distressed.
Only now did she know how cold Lyke could be.
Lyke was taken aback.
This woman, Peggy Lewis!
Her moving out was so swift; she didn’t tell him anything and moved out in a hurry.
Even now, hanging up the phone, she didn’t give him a moment’s notice, she hung up as soon as she finished talking.
Such a woman, with such a ruthless heart.
So decisive.
She’s a go-getter!
With these thoughts, Lyke drove himself angrily to Peggy’s residential area.
It seemed like the security at Peggy’s residential area still remembered Lyke.
Although Lyke hadn’t been here in a while, the security guard recognized him at first glance.
Greeting him with a smile, the guard let him in.
Lyke parked his car downstairs and went straight into the apartment building since he remembered the door code.
He took the elevator to the front door of Peggy’s house.
He had noticed from downstairs that the lights were still on in Peggy’s apartment, which probably meant she hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
This brought a bit of comfort to him, her being able to peacefully sleep now would be even more upsetting to him.
Lyke pressed the doorbell.
Peggy was indeed still awake, but she had already found a spot to sit on her bed upstairs.
She had found a bottle of red wine in her cupboard and was gently sipping from a glass.
She wasn’t exactly in the mood to drink but her spirits were low and she couldn’t fall asleep.
She hoped that the wine might help to alleviate her sorrow and aid her sleep.
Hearing the doorbell, Peggy put the glass aside and went downstairs.
The staircase was a bit shaky in this type of small loft, so she had to tread carefully.
The doorbell was still ringing.
Who would come at this hour?
It mustn’t be someone from outside the residential area, right?
After all, a password or a card was required to enter the building.
Could it be a neighbour?
Peggy dared not respond without caution.
Now that she was living alone, her sense of caution had returned.
She looked through the peephole and was stunned to see Lyke standing there!
Peggy hurriedly opened the door.
“What brings you here?” Peggy was surprised.
Hadn’t he just said earlier that he was at home?
“As soon as I got home, I received your call.
I couldn’t settle until I figured out why you moved,” Lyke said.
“I just moved back to my own house.” Peggy responded.
Lyke raised an eyebrow, countered, “So, am I supposed to stand outside and chat?
You aren’t going to let me in?”
Peggy had forgotten, hearing Lyke’s words, she swiftly stepped aside to let Lyke in.
“But everything was fine before.
You seemed comfortable living there.
Why did you suddenly decide to move back?” Lyke didn’t buy her explanation.
“It just didn’t seem appropriate,” Peggy didn’t know how she could make Lyke understand.
“I’ve already troubled you enough by staying at your place for so long.
Clearly Jacob Zahn won’t bother me anymore.
If I continued to live there…,” Peggy paused.
She caught her breath, then said: “Then why should I continue living there?
We are friends, very good friends.
But you are different from Cindy Clarke, you are a man. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Even if we are good friends, we can’t…
live together, right?”
“It’s not right,” she said.
“When I was packing my stuff today, I realised that I have unknowingly lived at your place for a very long time.”
“My clothes are in your wardrobe, various corners of your house have little items placed by me.
It is like I…
I have invaded your living space, infringed upon your place of residence.”
“And bed.!what right do I have to do such a thing?” Peggy said.
“Last night…”
