NOVPUBChapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Don’t Listen to His Bragging_1 Chapter 1200 -1200: Don’t Listen to His Bragging_1 Clifford Wells: “We promised not to bring this up again!”
Samson Zhekova: “Okay, no more talking.
I need to prepare myself.”
Clifford Wells: “What are you preparing for?”
Samson Zhekova: “This is my first time meeting my future fourth aunt’s family.
Can’t I make a good impression?
I can’t hold back Fourth Uncle just because of me.”
Lyke Zhekova: “You’re quite aware.”
Samson Zhekova: “Fourth Uncle, haven’t you set off yet?”
Lyke Zhekova: “Of course I have.
It’s such an important day.
I can’t be late, I have to be early to greet both our families.
I’m on the way.”
Clifford Wells: “…”
He wants to leave the group chat.
...
Samson Zhekova: “Then how do you have time to chat?”
Lyke Zhekova: “I had a good talk with my future father-in-law last night and we drank a bit too much.
Now I’m still hungover, so your aunt is driving.”
Lucky for him, Peggy Lewis is driving and can’t see the chat content.
Otherwise, Lyke wouldn’t dare brag like this.
By the time they arrived at the banquet hall, there were many messages in the chat.
And most likely, Peggy didn’t have the time to read them either.
Jeff Sanders: “Wow, Fourth Uncle has already experienced one of the perks of having a wife and he is not even married yet!”
Lyke Zhekova: “Right?
Last time when I drank too much at a dinner, Peggy picked me up.”
Clifford Wells: “It’s one thing to let her drive today since we’re all going to the banquet.
After drinking too much, it’s a bit too much to let her pick you up specifically.”
Lyke Zhekova: “But I get to talk and spend time alone with Peggy.
You wouldn’t understand the joy of that.”
Adrian Zhekova: “You wouldn’t understand.”
Zane Hamilton: “You wouldn’t understand.”
Zander Hamilton: “You wouldn’t understand.”
A string of “You won’t understand” popped up.
Looking at the screen filled with “You won’t understand” Clifford Wells: “…”
Samson Zhekova: “@Adrian Zhekova, big brother isn’t your wife also driving?”
Adrian Zhekova: “Of course.”
Clifford Wells: “…”
He wanted to leave the group chat.
Samson Zhekova: “Big Brother, are you hungover too?”
Adrian Zhekova: “I’m not, but sister-in-law said Fourth Uncle must be showing off in the group chat today, so I shouldn’t drive and represent her in the group chat instead.”
Samson Zhekova: “…Did you just sell out your sister-in-law?”
Adrian Zhekova: “…”
He accidentally said too much.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
Clifford Wells: “Hahahaha!
Lyke!!
Did you see that?
Everyone knows you’re showing off!”
Lyke Zhekova: “So what if I am?
At least I have something to brag about while you don’t.”
Clifford Wells: “…”
Lyke Zhekova: “I have much more to show off, and you have nothing.”
Clifford Wells: “…”
They chatted all the way and the travelling time unknowingly passed by.
The three men from the Zhekova family still wanted to chat and had already reached their destination.
Lyke came first.
He and Peggy went to the room they had reserved in advance.
Shortly after, Adrian and Cindy Clarke also arrived.
Upon arriving, Cindy immediately pulled Peggy aside to engage in conversation.
The room they reserved was a large suite.
It was a suite with three rooms in total.
The middle room was the dining room with a round table capable of accommodating 20 people.
The small room next to the dining room served as the living room.
Sofas, coffee tables, and a wall-mounted TV made it resemble a small salon, perfect for leisurely chats.
The room on the right functioned as a game room.
No need to find another location after dinner.
You can directly play games in the next room.
Popular table games such as Werewolf and several mini-games were available.
Even games that children like to play were present.
If children are brought along, they can be left in this room to play.
That way, the adults can enjoy their meals uninterrupted.
Cindy dragged Peggy to the small living room on the left.
The two sat on the sofa as the waiter served tea and brought cookies and other snacks.
After the waiter left, Cindy asked in a low voice: “What’s the situation?
Fourth Uncle took you home just yesterday and today there is an engagement already?”
“Would your Godfather and Godmother really agree to you getting engaged this early?” It can be said, Cindy knew Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis very well.
Don’t be fooled.
Although Peggy’s mother was anxious about Peggy’s single status and arranged blind dates for her,
her mother’s plan had always been to let Peggy have someone to date first.
There was no rush for marriage.
So when Cindy heard from Old Madam that today’s gathering was to discuss engagement, she was greatly shocked.
The Zhekova family never made a big deal out of engagements.
Both families would just sit down for a meal, negotiate the wedding arrangements like ordinary people.
The grand celebration would be reserved for the wedding ceremony.
However, Old Madam had her own concerns.
Even though she never said it, Cindy knew.
When she married Adrian, she didn’t have any family present.
And even if they were present, they wouldn’t have been able to sit down and have a real conversation.
Old Madam didn’t want to treat people differently, so she treated everyone equally.
Peggy shared about what happened last night with Cindy.
“My parents weren’t prepared for this kind of ordeal.” Speaking about it now, Peggy found it both stressful and amusing for her parents.
“They were already overwhelmed by Lyke alone, and adding Old Madam into the equation, they were destined to fall into the trap,” Peggy said, laughing.
Cindy laughed until tears almost formed: “Alright, just prepare for marriage.
You won’t be able to escape.”
Peggy blushed at Cindy’s words.
But apart from Lyke, knowing that Cindy was there made Peggy feel at ease, even if she was to get married tomorrow.
She felt incredibly secure.
Of course, the little fellow tagged along as well.
However, with Cindy and Peggy in conversation, the kid was left to play in the game room.
The manager even brought him a Switch to play with.
With a game in hand, the little fellow was perfectly content playing alone, without any plans to join the adults.
After chatting with Peggy for a while, Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis arrived.
They, too, decided to arrive early.
Each of the three elders from the Zhekova family was considerably older than them.
Even if Lyke and Peggy were together, they still considered themselves of equal status.
But they wouldn’t really consider it that way, would they?
So, they had to arrive earlier.
Although they thought they were early, Lyke and the others had arrived even earlier.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Peggy asked her father: “Dad, how did you feel when you woke up this morning?
Any discomfort?”
“Never felt better.” her father replied immediately.
Mrs.
Lewis bluntly exposed him: “Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
