He can’t even find me now.”
“I didn’t tell you at first because I didn’t want you to worry, and with Lyke by my side, I was fine.
After the matter was resolved and put behind us, there was even less reason to bring it up.” Peggy Lewis explained.
“This time…I didn’t want you to misunderstand, right?
That’s why I had to tell you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have planned to say it.” Peggy Lewis said, “But that’s exactly it, living with Lyke allowed me to understand him at a much closer level.”
“In fact, I dare say, our understanding of each other surpasses that of couples who have been dating for a year or so.” Peggy Lewis stated.
Even though one year of dating for a couple is quite long, if they don’t live together, it’s hard to find out about each other’s small habits and philosophies in all aspects.
Both are usually busy with work and can only use the brief and limited time after work to be together.
...
The honeymoon phase tends not to reveal the discrepancies between each other.
During the honeymoon phase, everything about the other person seems good with no imperfections.
Completely blinded by love.
Only when this phase slowly fades, their eyes can start to see again and they begin to discover conflicts or things that they don’t like about each other.
This often leads to arguments and sometimes breaks ups.
However, discovering and adjusting these differences requires time.
Unlike Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova, because they live together, they spend all of their time outside of work together.
They have ample opportunities to understand each other, even starting with the smallest details. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
“It’s precisely because I understand him so much that I like him even more.” Peggy Lewis said with a smile.
Lyke Zhekova nearly choked on his soup.
Peggy Lewis’s confession to him in front of her parents was…quite embarrassing.
But, it’s a thing of the past.
They are about to register their marriage now.
Even if Mr.
Lewis had many objections about their cohabitation before marriage and their concealment of issues, there’s nothing much he can do about it.
Well.
At least Lyke Zhekova is responsible and finishes what he starts.
Kids, once they grow up, can’t be controlled.
“Are you going straight to the Civil Affairs Office after eating?” Mrs.
Lewis asked.
“We have to stop by the Third Old Master Zhekova’s place.
Lyke’s Household Register is still there.” Peggy Lewis replied.
So after they finished eating, when Peggy Lewis wanted to help her mother clean up, Mrs.
Lewis said, “Quickly take a break.
Go get the Household Register as soon as possible and hurry to get your marriage certificate.
It will be crowded there, you may have to wait quite some time if you go late.”
With just four dishes, it wasn’t too troubling, so Peggy Lewis didn’t insist on helping anymore.
But in her heart, she felt that speeding up the renovation of the kitchen and installing a dishwasher is a top priority.
“Mom, once I’ve settled my affairs, I’ll help you with the renovation stuff.” Peggy Lewis said.
Mrs.
Lewis had completely forgotten about this matter until Peggy Lewis mentioned it.
The sudden whirlwind wedding preparations by the three elders of the Zhekova family had caught them off guard and they’re still quite stupefied.
Even after a night’s sleep until this morning, they were still in a daze, not fully aware of what was happening.
How could they remember something like renovating the house?
Now that Peggy Lewis brought it up, Mrs.
Lewis and Mr.
Lewis finally remembered it.
“Just help us find a designer, as for overseeing the renovations and coordinating with the designer, we’ll handle that.
You don’t need to worry about it.” Mrs.
Lewis said, “You are busy with work, don’t take on too much.”
“I’ll handle that.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“I’ll have the designer contact you later.
Overseeing the renovations may seem simple, just watching from the side, but running around and making sure the workers aren’t cutting corners, ensuring the wiring is correctly laid out, all these are quite draining.”
“I’ll also arrange for someone to oversee the work, you two don’t need to exhaust yourselves.” Lyke Zhekova said, “Just feel free to come and check the progress whenever you want.”
Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis suddenly realized the benefits of having a capable son-in-law.
Even the renovations don’t require their supervision.
As long as Lyke Zhekova says the word, someone will handle it.
“Just let us know what style you prefer, and communicate with the designer.
If you’re not satisfied with the design, feel free to make requests, don’t hold back.” Lyke Zhekova was very decisive in his arrangements.
He immediately made a phone call to set things in motion.
“I’ll give you the designer’s contact later.” Lyke Zhekova said, “If there’s anything, don’t hesitate to call me.”
At this moment Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis could only nod blankly.
“During the renovation period, I have a few vacant properties.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics of each one, let me have my assistant organize the details and send them to you.
You can pick which one you’d like to stay in.”
“My properties should all be fully furnished, you can move in right away.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“It won’t be a hassle at all.”
“This…” Mr.
Lewis felt a bit uneasy about this arrangement.
Isn’t this taking advantage of his son-in-law?
Even though Lyke Zhekova’s properties are vacant, it still doesn’t feel right.
However, Mr.
Lewis couldn’t articulate exactly why it didn’t feel right.
Lyke Zhekova, smiling, said, “Please don’t feel burdened.
Those properties are vacant anyway, so they’re not being utilized.
It’s still a waste whether you live there or not.”
Mrs.
Lewis thought, they say the rich are capricious, and it seems to be true.
“Yeah, dad, mom.” Peggy Lewis also chimed in, “Lyke isn’t giving you the property, you’re just staying there temporarily.
There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
With that, Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis found themselves nodding in consent.
Peggy Lewis added, “Try to pick one that’s close to here.
It will be convenient for you to come over and check the progress of the renovations.”
“You, always so demanding, having a place to live is enough.” Mrs.
Lewis teased.
Lyke Zhekova smiled and said, “There’s really no need to be so polite, we’re family now.
If you’re too polite, I won’t know what to do.”
“I’m not sure if any of the properties are close to here, we’ll need to sort that out later.” Lyke Zhekova said.
“No problem, don’t listen to Peggy’s demands.” Mr.
Lewis said, “We’ll just pick a property that’s relatively closer to here.”
“Alright.” Lyke Zhekova replied with a smile.
