NOVPUBChapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Weren’t They Just My Soon-To-Be Father-In-Law And Mother-In-Law?_1 Chapter 1183 -1183: Weren’t They Just My Soon-To-Be Father-In-Law And Mother-In-Law?_1 After answering the call, Cindy set her mobile phone at an appropriate angle.
Seeing that Adrian didn’t seem to have lunch prepared, she asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet.
Today’s meeting ran a bit late, so it just finished.” Adrian replied, “I ordered lunch, it should be here soon.”
“Why are you eating so late, aren’t you hungry?” Cindy asked again.
“Not hungry, don’t worry.
Didn’t you prepare a bunch of snacks for me?
I have the cookies and Snowflake Crisps, along with beef jerky you made for me.” Adrian said, while secretly patting his stomach hidden under the table.
He felt as if he had put on a bit of weight recently due to Cindy’s feeding.
...
His abs were on the verge of giving up.
He really should be more cautious.
He can’t gain ‘marital bliss weight’ before even reaching middle age.
Without his good looks to attract Cindy, it just wouldn’t be right.
Thinking about how Lyke, who was much older, could still maintain a good figure, he determined not to lose this battle.
Just then, Sheldon delivered his lunch.
Adrian quickly stated, “Lunch is here, don’t worry.”
“Let’s chat while we eat.” Adrian suggested, “Even though I can’t be with you, this way, it’s like we’re eating together.”
“Alright.” Cindy nodded.
Since Cindy didn’t have her earphones nearby, she had to use speaker mode.
Samson could hear every word Adrian spoke.
He thought to himself how nauseatingly sweet the couple was.
Not seeing each other at noon was commonplace, so what was so irregular about not having lunch together?
Even for couples in the throes of passionate love, no one insisted on having lunch together on workdays.
Moreover, they were married and spent every day together, weren’t they afraid of getting tired of each other?
It never crossed Samson’s mind that he could still be made to witness PDA even when having lunch with Cindy.
Cindy remembered that Samson could hear everything, worried that things might get awkward if Adrian said something lovey-dovey aloud, she informed Adrian beforehand, “I’m having lunch with Samson.”
She turned the phone so Adrian could see Samson as well.
Adrian nodded and addressed Samson, “That’s good.
Look after your sister-in-law at university.
Why don’t you have lunch with her every day when I’m away?
This will also help develop your bond.”
This way, wouldn’t Cindy have one more person to be close to in the Zhekova Family?
Samson: “…”
“So, you’re going to keep video calling my sister-in-law for your joint lunches?” Samson asked.
“Of course.” Adrian replied, puzzled why Samson would ask such a no-brainer question, “My appetite is spoiled if I don’t watch Cindy eat.”
Samson: “…”
Was he destined to be bombarded with PDA daily?
At least Adrian’s mood had improved.
But now Samson was the one losing his appetite.
“Ha, ha,” Samson scoffed cynically, “Today was just a coincidence.
From now on, better come over in person at lunch time.”
Cindy turned the view on her phone back to herself, Adrian then asked, “What happened between you and Samson in the group chat earlier?”
Cindi surely couldn’t help Wendy find a match.
She wouldn’t even consider it.
She’d tolerate Wendy’s behavior herself but never extend it to Samson.
Adrian knew this very well.
Cindy then relayed the morning’s events to him.
Adrian scoffed, “I didn’t expect Wendy to be so ambitious.
Don’t worry, Ethan definitely saw her messages.
Given his temperament, he won’t allow Wendy any further chances to bother Samson.”
Adrian unapologetically said, “You’re too smart!”
Samson: “…”
He had just taken a bite of rice and almost spat it out.
“Thankfully Fourth Uncle moved fast and got together with Peggy, otherwise Wendy might have set her sights on him.” Cindy complained.
Lyke, who narrowly escaped a fate worse than death, had been counting down to Saturday.
Eager to get his chance, he quickly accompanied Peggy to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis’ house.
This time, the gifts Lyke brought were even more than last time.
During his last visit, he wanted to make a good impression on Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis due to his intentions towards Peggy.
This time, however, he came with the mindset of meeting his future in-laws.
As the future son-in-law of the Lewis Family, Lyke wanted to be as formal as possible.
If he could bring valuable gifts, he would spare no expense.
On the way, Peggy sensed that something was different about Lyke, but she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.
“Are you nervous?” Peggy asked.
Unexpectedly, Lyke nodded his head.
Peggy was totally surprised: “You can actually get nervous?”
In her mind, Lyke was a man who would never get nervous, no matter what the situation was.
He could always handle everything calmly.
No wonder she felt that Lyke was a bit different today, as if he was on edge.
“Of course I’m nervous.
I’m meeting my future father-in-law and mother-in-law.” Lyke responded.
Peggy: “…”
When did they become her future parents?
How come she wasn’t aware of it?
“Were you nervous last time as well?” Peggy asked.
“Last time was different.
I was entirely focused on making a good impression on your parents, I didn’t have time to be nervous.” Lyke explained, “Moreover, Adrian and his family were there, it felt more reassuring with my family around.
”
“But this time, I, I am going to meet my, my in-laws.” Lyke stopped as he was interrupted by Peggy.
“Wait a minute, didn’t you just call them your prospective in-laws?” Where did that ‘prospective’ go?
“Why use an extra word?
It just makes things a bit awkward.” Lyke explained.
Peggy: “…”
Wait, aren’t you nervous anymore?
You even took advantage.
Isn’t there a difference?
They had just arrived at the doorstep of Peggy’s parents’ house.
Peggy was about to get off the car, but Lyke stopped her, “Wait a second.”
“What’s up?” Peggy inquired.
“Let me take a moment, do a little preparation.” Lyke answered.
Peggy hadn’t seen Lyke this nervous before.
It reminded her how she would also be this nervous when meeting Lyke’s elders.
Feeling a sense of empathy, she remained silent and waited for Lyke to finish his preparations.
However, after waiting for a while, she saw Lyke pull out his phone and take a selfie using the car’s rearview mirror.
Then he posted it on his IG stories.
Peggy thought to herself, isn’t he supposed to be nervous right now?
Is he still in the mood to post IG stories?
Driven by curiosity, Peggy went to check his IG stories.
The angle from which Lyke took the picture was quite artistic.
He had only captured the rearview mirror.
In the mirror, his eyes were reflected.
Looking at the caption, it read: “Visiting the future father-in-law and mother-in-law, feeling nervous.”
Peggy could clearly feel the proud undertone in his post.
