NOVPUBChapter 1197: Chapter 1197: What a peculiar flower_1 Chapter 1197 -1197: What a peculiar flower_1 Lyke Zhekova pointed to his own eyes: “I guess he was born to see green in everything around him, no matter whom he meets.”
“Of course, there are others who actively chase him.
In this day and age, girls chasing guys isn’t unusual; in fact, it’s pretty brave and admirable.
And some of them don’t even know who he is.”
“One time, I was at the coffee shop with him.
I left for a bit and when I was on my way back, I saw a girl coming up to him to ask for his Whatsapp,” shared Zhekova, “I thought it wouldn’t be easy for Clifford Wells to find a girlfriend, so I shouldn’t intervene.
I quickly hid myself and didn’t show myself.”
Naturally, he hid in a place where it was convenient to watch the drama unfold.
He had to figure out what Clifford Wells would say.
Zhekova had a premonition that Wells’ response would be very entertaining.
...
“The girl just thought he was handsome and approached him.
He’s somewhat known within certain circles, but to the general public, he’s not a celebrity.”
Now, it seems that the only thing Clifford Wells has going for him is his decent looks.
As long as he doesn’t talk, his face manages to impress others pretty well.”
Peggy Lewis nodded, indicating that she agreed with Zhekova’s sensible assessment.
Zhekova continued: “Do you know what he said to the girl?
He said, ‘Are you trying to scam me?
Don’t dream about getting my number!'”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
“So, is this how he chooses his tea?” Peggy Lewis asked, her lips twitching.
To real tea, it seems like it could work.
But the problem is, not every girl is tea.
She just wanted his Whatsapp contact!
Zhekova nodded, “No matter how much the girl tried to explain, he wouldn’t listen.
I thought he was going to call the staff to complain about the girl harassing him, so I hurried back.
The girl was driven away in exasperation.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
“Actually, it’s already very patient of the girl not to throw a coffee in his face.
Calling the waitress to complain about her harassment? 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Seriously?” Peggy Lewis commented.
All the girl was doing was asking for his number.
Clearly, she had no shame.
“Do you know what he said to me after I came back?” Zhekova asked.
“What did he say?” Peggy Lewis was quite curious, so she cooperated fully.
Listening to Zhekova talk about Clifford Wells was like listening to a comedy sketch.
“He said, ‘I was wise to not give her my Whatsapp.
There’s a lot of money in my wallet!
I am the successor of the Wells Family.
It would be a disgrace if I got scammed.'”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
So he doesn’t think that his behavior is disgraceful?
“That’s really…
no wonder he’s still single,” Peggy couldn’t help expressing her thoughts on Clifford Wells.
What a unique character he is!
“But, why do you all call him ‘Cliff Wells’?” Peggy asked, puzzled.
“Because Old Madam Wells once asked the Head of the Xero Family to name him,” Zhekova diverted the topic to introduce the Xero Family to Peggy.
Since she’s entering his social circle, it’s necessary to understand these things.
Peggy was stunned: “There really is a spirit exorcist?”
The Xero Family, she’d never heard of them.
How many things has the world kept hidden from her?
“Yeah, how about watching an exorcism with me next time?
It’ll be too dangerous to go too close to the more extreme ones; I wouldn’t want to put you in danger.
But you can stand a safe distance from the minor ones.
Oh right, the Xero family has protective amulets.
You can wear one of those during an exorcism so you don’t get hurt,” Zhekova explained.
Peggy shook her head quickly: “No need.”
She couldn’t even dare to watch horror films, let alone real-life ones.
No thanks!
Zhekova laughed, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you receive a permanent amulet as a welcome gift.”
“There’s such a thing as a permanent one?” Peggy expressed surprised.
“Not exactly permanent, but it can be used more frequently.
As long as you’re not reckless, it’s more than enough to last a lifetime,” explained Zhekova, “The amulets that the exorcists sell are one-use items.
Only the amulets belonging to the family members or trusted clients can be used two or three times.
These are nurtured with jade.”
“And for us, who are treated like family members, the exorcists give out protections that can guard us from numerous harms,” Zhekova said, “Olivia Davis has it, and so does Zachary Hamilton.
Even our elderly family members own one.
Others weren’t given any because the exorcists didn’t detect any malicious spirits off of them.”
“If there is, even a tiny bit, she would give you one, you can rest assured,” Zhekova, who didn’t own one himself, assured Peggy.
Peggy nodded and said, “It’s actually better if I never have to receive one.”
This would mean that she was never around those…
Zhekova laughed, thankfully he didn’t explain too much, afraid that it would scare Peggy.
However, Peggy quickly caught on: “You said Olivia Davis and Zachary Hamilton have one, does it mean they!.”
“Yes, they’ve both experienced events, but spirit exorcists noticed early in time, so they’re alright.
Zachary even helped with an exorcism once.
It’s just that he stood there watching; naturally, he couldn’t help out.
But he just wanted to stay with the exorcist.”
Peggy gave a thumbs up: “I can’t believe it, just his dedication and initiative is amazing.
It’s no wonder he’s not single at such a young age.
Old Madam Hamilton must be very proud.”
Zhekova: “…”
Peggy picked it up quickly; in no time, she has managed to comprehend the inner workings of the elderly ladies in various families.
Zhekova nodded, “Indeed, she’s very happy and proud.
To the extend that Zane Hamilton, at home, has been deprived of her affection.
The most pampered is now Zachary.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Old Madam Hamilton is such a realist.
No wonder, the competition between the children in these families is so fierce.
To be the favorite…
it’s too difficult.
“Ehem!” Fearful that Peggy might link it back to him, Zhekova swiftly chimed in.
Given his age when he started dating, one can only imagine how bad his standing with the family elders had been during those years.
Before Peggy could associate his personal circumstances, Zhekova quickly changed the topic: “Anyway, Old Madam Wells once sought the help of the Head of the Xero Family to give Sonny a name, hence the name Clifford Wells.
It signifies a sincere and determined character.
The following line refers to a potential to break through seemingly insurmountable barriers, hence, as a joke, we sometimes call him ‘Cliff Wells’.”
Peggy couldn’t help but laugh, these people are really funny.
“Seeing your situation at home, I bet your status isn’t exactly high either.” Peggy, having a quick mind, wasn’t so easy to be fooled by Lyke.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Almost immediately, Lyke pulled Peggy and passionately kissed her on the lips for a while, then said fiercely: “Don’t think I’m drunk and will forget.
You just took advantage of me being drunk and stole a kiss.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
It’s all Clifford’s fault for distracting her and making her forget about it.
