NOVPUBChapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Does My Girlfriend Have This Qualification?_1 Chapter 1149 -1149: Does My Girlfriend Have This Qualification?_1 “Peggy Lewis spoke only halfway and then suddenly stopped, maybe Adrian Zhekova had correctly guessed what she was thinking.
Peggy Lewis left because of what happened last night.
It was quite spontaneous given everything seemed normal just before.
“Did I scare you last night?” Adrian Zhekova asked.
“No, of course not.” Peggy Lewis shook her head, steadfastly denying, “You were drunk but you never went berserk, moreover, you were quite restrained.”
Rarely, Adrian Zhekova began to feel some guilt and embarrassment towards Peggy Lewis.
Because he was not even drunk last night.
Peggy Lewis commended him for that, his thick-skinned nature couldn’t handle it this time.
...
“I’ve been thinking, you had no prior intentions of moving back here, but then you suddenly decided to do so today.
Apart from something happening last night, I truly can’t think of any other reason.”
When he mentioned this, Peggy Lewis’s face only turned redder.
“See, you said it too, I never intended to move back before now.
If I hadn’t been awakened from my dream, I would’ve continued to shamelessly live there as if it were my own home.” Peggy Lewis said.
Adrian Lewis thought to himself, ‘That’s good’.
“Even as my best friend, it’s not proper to live together like this.
Despite Cindy Clarke and my relationship mirroring that of close family members, I would never think of living at her place for a long period of time and even less so with you.” said Peggy Lewis.
The sentiment of this dialogue was not very pleasing to Adrian Zhekova.
What does she mean by ‘even less so with you’?
Was he worse than Cindy Clarke?
Why according to Peggy Lewis, he was not as good as Cindy Clarke?
“That is the crux of the issue, I shouldn’t take living at your place for granted.” said Peggy Lewis, “Your home is not mine after all.”
“Yes, you said it, that you don’t mind, I can live in your house without any hesitation and consider it my own home.
You can say that, but morally, I can’t accept it.”
“Why in the world should I occupy your house, live with you?
How can I justify that?” said Peggy Lewis.
“You have more experience than me, are more worldly-wise, and are smarter.
What I can understand, you should undoubtedly get it as well.” said Peggy Lewis.
“You said that I never thought about it before, but suddenly it occurred to me today.
In the past, I was thick-skinned and took it for granted.
However, today when it suddenly hit me in connection with last night.”
Peggy Lewis averted her gaze, unequipped to look directly at Adrian Zhekova.
“With regards to last night, it wasn’t you who did something wrong, it was me.” Peggy Lewis sighed.
“Last night I was afraid that you would be too lazy to take medicine or would forget, so I messaged you on Whatsapp.
Then, I simply went directly to your room to find you.”
“I realized then how inappropriate my actions were.
No matter how good the relationship, you can’t simply dash into a person’s room late at night.
I would never have done that in the past.”
“Yet, I did it last night, realizing that I did not consider you a stranger because our relationship has led me to forget the need for the accustomed caution.
I realized that I had crossed the line.” Peggy Lewis said as her gaze became vacant.
“I crossed that line called discretion.” Peggy Lewis inhaled deeply and sighed once more, “I fear that if I had continued to live there, I would have completely forgotten to have any discretion.”
Also fearing her unrealistic thoughts.
“So, I need to move back here.” said Peggy Lewis.
Indeed it was related to last night, but with a different sense than what Adrian Zhekova anticipated.
“You said you’re not entitled to live in my house, then what qualifies as worthy?” asked Adrian Zhekova.
Peggy Lewis wanted to say, of course, those qualified would be his family members.
Either members of the Zhekova family, his girlfriend, or his wife, all of them have the right.
Only she didn’t.
As soon as she thought about it, she heard Adrian Zhekova say: “So, does my girlfriend have this right?”
Peggy Lewis was stunned, and just felt a humming sound in her head, everything seemed dizzy and she began to sway.
She even felt her feet starting to soften, as though she were stepping on cotton, with no sense of reality.
Is this what he’s hinting at?
Seeing Peggy Lewis’s dazed face, Adrian Zhekova stepped forward again, asking closely in front of her: “Tell me, does my girlfriend have the right to live with me?”
“Yes…
yes she does.” Peggy Lewis’s brain was buzzing so quickly, that she hardly had the ability to think clearly.
But if you eliminate those messy concepts, it’s only natural that a girlfriend should have the right to live with Adrian Zhekova.
Before Cindy Clarke got married to Adrian Zhekova, when they were still dating, weren’t they living together?
It’s wholly appropriate for couples to live together.
“Then…
are you willing to be my girlfriend?” asked Adrian Zhekova.
Peggy Lewis: “!”
Even if she couldn’t think, she could still talk.
Somehow, she blurted out without thinking: “You can take the sacrifice to such an extent just to make me live with you?”
Adrian Zhekova: “!”
What kind of logic is this!
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Adrian Zhekova couldn’t help but retort.
He didn’t know how to explain to Peggy Lewis.
What the hell was going on her mind now!
“How do you conclude that it’s a sacrifice to ask you to be my girlfriend?
There are so many fallacies in your words.” Adrian Zhekova thought.
“Do I need to humiliate myself just to make you live with me?
It’s not a humiliation.
On the contrary, I am eager for you to be my girlfriend, this will cause my brain explode.”
The loopholes in Peggy Lewis’s words were not only many but were also especially misleading.
Adrian Zhekova decided to end this topic.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He bravely said to Peggy Lewis: “I like you, I want you to be my girlfriend.
Haven’t you noticed yet?
All that I have done so far is to pursue you and bring us closer.”
Peggy Lewis: “!”
She couldn’t utter a word, she just opened and closed her mouth.
Her heartbeat was extremely fast.
Thumping!
Thumping!
Thumping!
The sound was sharp and loud, like a drumbeat.
“Do you think that I’m so kind-hearted that I let anyone who’s in trouble live in my house?
Can’t be any male or female.”
“There are many ways to protect people.
The method of personal protection is only for you.” Adrian Zhekova said.
‘Personal protection’; these two words were now taking up all the space in Peggy Lewis’s mind.
“Do you think the reason why I have been finding ways to keep you in my home, unwilling to let you leave, is because of what?”
“It’s because I like you and I want you to get used to my presence.
At the beginning, I was worried about scaring you, hence I figured the best way to make you comfortable was to start as friends and lower your guard.” 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
“Because, at the beginning of our interaction, you were quite distant.
You kept on reminding yourself to maintain a distance from me.””
