NOVPUBChapter 1164: Chapter 1164: The Heart is Full of Lemon Juice_1 Chapter 1164 -1164: The Heart is Full of Lemon Juice_1 “Who among you has managed to get off the singles’ bench?” Otherwise, there’s no way anyone would bring up the tragic love saga of Clifford Wells again.
Old Madam Wells is well aware that anyone who escapes singlehood drags Clifford Wells back into it.
This has practically become an unspoken agreement among them.
But she does not feel sorry for Clifford Wells at all.
Despite being relentlessly teased at home and virtually bombarded in their group chats, Clifford Wells doesn’t seem to be making any effort to escape singlehood anytime soon.
So as far as Old Madam Wells is concerned, Clifford deserves this group-bullying treatment.
Seeing Old Madam Wells raise this question, Lyke Zhekova became exceptionally proud.
...
He confidently replied, “It’s me.”
After sending this, he replied, “I’m currently waiting for my girlfriend to finish work at her office building.
I’m going to have lunch with her.”
As soon as Old Madam Wells read Lyke Zhekova’s reply, she felt a pang of envy.
Her envy, however, transformed into resentment towards Clifford Wells.
She was even close to smashing her mobile phone.
Old Madam Wells looked up at Old Master Wells pottering with his plants and said, “Look, Lyke from the Zhekova Family has found a girlfriend, even at this age!”
If it were any other man, Old Master Wells wouldn’t have been surprised.
What really surprised him is that it was Lyke Zhekova.
A well-known eligible bachelor.
Although others like Zane Hamilton and Bertrand York raised concerns within their families because of their single status, they managed to find romantic partners just before hitting 30.
Once Lyke Zhekova passed that threshold, he became a runaway train of epic singledom.
Perhaps it’s simply because the clock keeps ticking.
The girls who would be perfect for Lyke Zhekova are married.
Those who aren’t married probably voluntarily choose to remain single.
Even if they are still available, why would they want to date Lyke Zhekova when they could be dating younger, more attractive men?
The elders of the Zhekova Family were too shy to match Lyke with a younger woman.
How could they make a young girl be with an old man like Lyke Zhekova?
Maybe it’s because of these reasons, the Zhekova Family elders keep swaying between giving up and holding on.
They didn’t push as enthusiastically as they did for Adrian Zhekova, but they didn’t entirely give up either.
Surprisingly, Lyke Zhekova officially got off the single bench and joined the ranks of the committed.
If things go well, he might even join the even more exclusive group of the married club.
This made Old Madam Wells die with envy.
Who would have thought that Lyke Zhekova, at his age, would have such luck?
Old Madam Wells was so sour with envy, she didn’t have the mood to reply to Lyke Zhekova anymore.
Before she could log off from IG stories, she received a call from Old Madam Zhekova.
Old Madam Wells sighed, knowing that a call from Old Madam Zhekova was inevitable.
Furthermore, it wasn’t difficult to guess why Old Madam Zhekova called.
Isn’t it to show off that Lyke Zhekova is no longer single? 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
On the other end of the line, Old Madam Zhekova was waiting for Old Madam Wells to answer her call and simultaneously said to Old Master Zhekova, “Poor Third Brother.
It’s clear that Lyke wants to show off, now that he’s no longer single.
But being a man, it’s not becoming to flaunt this.”
“Flaunting it to you old men can’t give him the same feeling of achievement as flaunting it to us women.
There’s just no sense of accomplishment in flaunting to you all.”, said Old Madam Zhekova.
Flaunting in front of these old men lacks any sense of achievement.
“But for Third Brother, being a man, to make individual calls to each one of us like us women would…
that’s just not suitable.”, Old Madam Zhekova claimed.
“So you all know this.”, said Old Master Zhekova, who had imagined that these older ladies had lacked that sort of awareness, hence their relentless flaunting.
Turns out Old Madam Zhekova was well aware.
But under such circumstances, why do they need to hurt each other in this way?
“You don’t understand.”, Old Madam Zhekova shook her head, “The thing about showing off, there’s an addiction to it.
Especially when you observe the envy and bitterness in others.
That feeling is ineffably pleasurable.”
“Otherwise, why would there be so much flaunting of wealth?
It all boils down to the same logic.” Old Madam Zhekova didn’t look down upon those who flaunt their wealth.
Although she doesn’t flaunt her wealth, isn’t she flaunting other things?
The essence is all the same.
Old Master Zhekova shook his head, feeling like he would probably never understand.
Finally, Old Madam Wells picked up the phone.
Before Old Madam Zhekova could say anything, Old Madam Wells spoke first, “No need to say anymore, I know Lyke has found a girlfriend.”
Old Madam Zhekova: “…”
This unpredictable move from Old Madam Wells left her with no words.
What was she supposed to say next?
Nevertheless, Old Madam Wells was curious, “When did Lyke find a girlfriend?
How old is she?”
At Lyke Zhekova’s age, it could not be easy to find a girlfriend!
He must have had some tremendous dumb luck to find someone of a similar age who’s suitable, right?
Who knew, Old Madam Zhekova would say, “It’s a shame to admit it, but Lyke’s girlfriend is only 27.”
Old Madam Wells: “…”
How outrageous!
How could Lyke Zhekova have the audacity?!
“Oh, we were a bit embarrassed too.
I mean, how could Lyke, at his age, date such a young woman?
It does seem unfair to her,” Old Madam Zhekova said with a guilty tone.
The following words, however, made Old Madam Wells turn green with envy.
“However, the young woman doesn’t mind Lyke’s age.
She even said that an age difference of only 10 years isn’t too much,” Old Madam Zhekova continued.
“Oh, where did they meet?” Old Madam Wells asked curiously, thinking this could be useful for Clifford.
The story made Old Madam Zhekova even happier, “We have Cindy to thank for this.”
“As you know, for a time before Cindy reunited with Adrian, she was raising little Morgan by herself.
During that time, Lyke’s girlfriend helped her a lot.” Old Madam Zhekova narrated.
They aren’t married yet, not even engaged.
But in Old Madam Zhekova’s opinion, aren’t they on the fast track to marriage?
Sooner or later.
Therefore, there’s no need to worry about such minor details.
Her name is Peggy, Peggy Lewis,” introduced Old Madam Zhekova, “Peggy is Cindy’s best friend, the kind with an iron-clad bond.
She’s even Morgan’s Godmother.”
“Back then, Cindy was raising Morgan alone.
Luckily, Peggy and her parents were there to help her out,” explained Old Madam Zhekova, “With Cindy’s connection, we were able to meet Peggy too.”
“When Cindy competed in the Pingla Competition, as her best friend, Peggy could not just miss it.
She attended every single event.
During the finals, which our entire family attended including Lyke, we met.”
“Peggy is really a wonderful girl, in every way.
She has a nice personality, and she’s very righteous.
So naturally, she caught Lyke’s attention.
We were also worried that Lyke might be out of her league.
“Thankfully, Lyke stepped up and was persistent despite rejection,” Old Madam Zhekova chuckled.
Old Master Zhekova glanced at Old Madam Zhekova.
