_1 Chapter 905: Chapter 905: Wow, you’ve really taken good care of it!
_1 It’s all a bit confusing with all the family members, like Godmother and Fourth Grandfather.
“But what if it doesn’t work out, and they don’t have feelings for each other?
If we mention it beforehand, won’t it be awkward for them?” asked Cindy Clarke.
The little one understood and nodded, saying, “I got it.”
“So remember, before they get together, you absolutely can’t let it slip in front of Godmother.
It wouldn’t be good if it makes her feel awkward later on,” lectured Cindy Clarke.
...
She simply couldn’t rest easy.
The little one was smart, indeed, but her mouth was sometimes too quick.
Cindy had not forgotten, before she got together with Adrian Zhekova.
The little one could spill all of her secrets to Adrian.
Cindy was shocked to discover that the child had become a little spy.
So, she had to emphasize and remind the little one.
“I got it!” said the little one, also mimicking a zipper being closed over her lips, promising, “I’ll definitely not let it slip.”
“I’ll keep my mouth shut!” said the child proudly.
“Cindy, you can rest assured!”
Cindy: “…”
Why was she still so worried?
Forget about the matter between Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis.
Cindy’s mind was so filled with them that she had thrown all the unpleasant things brought by Jenny Kirk to the back of her mind and couldn’t even recall them anymore.
***
Meanwhile, as Cindy and the others were heading to the family mansion.
Lyke Zhekova was also en route to drop Peggy Lewis home.
Peggy Lewis was not familiar with Lyke Zhekova at all, so it was extremely awkward inside the car.
During the competition earlier, she was too angry and focused on reprimanding Jenny Kirk.
She didn’t actually have much conversation with Lyke Zhekova.
At that time, she was so engrossed in reprimanding Jenny that she didn’t notice any awkwardness, there was not a single lull.
But now it was different.
Sitting in the same car with Lyke Zhekova, she dreaded the sudden silence.
He had gone to the trouble of driving her all the way home, and she felt it would be very rude if she didn’t say a word to him.
Peggy Lewis took a deep breath and said, “It’s really a big trouble for you to take such a long detour to send me home.”
“And during the competition today, I also caused a lot of trouble for you,” whispered Peggy Lewis.
“At that time, when the security guards came, I would have been taken away if you hadn’t stopped them,” Peggy added.
Lyke Zhekova who had been pondering over one thing: did he truly not find Peggy Lewis annoying?
He hadn’t noticed it during the competition.
Only later, when he heard Samson Zhekova’s reminder, did he realize that Peggy Lewis had been talking non-stop by his side.
He surprisingly didn’t find Peggy Lewis annoying!
However, after contemplating, Lyke figured it was perhaps because Peggy Lewis was standing up for Cindy.
Anyway, she was defending one of their own, and Lyke didn’t find her annoying as a result.
On the journey home that evening, it was quiet as Peggy Lewis had remained silent, and as someone who lived alone and was used to the quiet, Lyke didn’t think anything of it.
Even at work, his subordinates knew that he preferred silence.
Therefore, when working with him, they would try to speak as little as possible, unless necessary.
Because they were aware of Lyke’s personality, they didn’t find the silence awkward.
Even now, while sitting with Peggy Lewis, since Lyke was accustomed to the silence, he didn’t feel anything was out of place.
But now Peggy Lewis had suddenly started yakking away again,
Lyke Zhekova was surprised to find that he didn’t find her annoying.
Peggy Lewis kept on talking, but he didn’t find it bothersome.
However!
“Why do you keep addressing me formally?” asked Lyke, puzzled.
“I’m not your elder.”
“Aren’t you Morgan’s Fourth Grandfather?” asked Peggy Lewis.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
So what?
“I’m Morgan’s godmother and Cindy’s friend, so Cindy and I are peers,” said Peggy Lewis, “But you are Cindy’s elder, her Fourth Uncle.”
“Although addressing you as Fourth Uncle might be a bit presumptuous, as we don’t really share any familial ties.
But no matter how you look at it, you are my elder.
So, I should use respectful language,” she justified.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
What the hell, elder!
“Nevertheless, you’ve really maintained yourself quite well,” laughed Peggy Lewis, “You don’t look your age at all.”
Peggy Lewis didn’t mean to say that he didn’t look old, but as someone who worked in the corporate world, she had some tact.
Peggy Lewis hadn’t doubted Lyke Zhekova’s age at all.
Truthfully, Lyke Zhekova’s family rank was quite intimidating.
Not to mention, those actors, the male celebrities, each one of them was very well preserved.
People in their forties and fifties looked like they were in their thirties.
Those actors who were shooting round the clock and only slept for three to four hours daily could maintain themselves so well.
It wouldn’t be a problem for Lyke Zhekova.
Moreover, there were the examples of Maverick Zhekova and Jayden Zhekova right in front of her.
Both of them looked quite young.
Lyke Zhekova was the fourth in line and definitely younger than Maverick and Jayden Zhekova.
So, it was quite normal for him to look younger than them.
Peggy guessed that Lyke Zhekova must be in his late forties.
His maintenance was excellent!
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
He wasn’t angry because Peggy Lewis was rambling.
But rather, he was agitated by her words.
Even though she hadn’t outright said it, wasn’t she implying that he was older?
Lyke Zhekova ground his teeth and said, “Actually, I’m just a little higher in family rank.
That’s the misleading part.
My age isn’t!that high.”
At 37, he didn’t consider himself old!
He was at the peak of his life!
“Yes, yes, you don’t seem like it,” replied Peggy Lewis.
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
What does she mean by ‘doesn’t seem like it’!
He wasn’t!
“If I may ask, how old are you?” grumbled Lyke Zhekova, still polite.
For females, unless they were truly very young, they didn’t like being asked about their age.
Especially on initial meetings or when they hardly knew the person asking.
It was rather strange.
Those eighteen and nineteen, or twenty-year-olds who would proudly called themselves ‘old aunties’.
They didn’t mind being addressed as ‘old’ at all.
“I’m 27.” Peggy Lewis was quite straightforward.
She didn’t find it intrusive or offensive.
At 27, she didn’t think she was old.
She was still young.
Many people felt that women at the age of twenty-seven or eight or in their thirties, were leftover women.
Such sentiments were not only rude but also narrow-minded.
Especially some men, they believe that no matter their age, they could look for younger women, but women of certain age should settle?
Every time Peggy heard such statements, she could only roll her eyes.
Men who expressed such views were always avoided by her.
Thank you very much, you can find your young girls, let’s see if they like you!
Ordinary girls, at eighteen, twenty, in their prime, of course, they look good without any high-end skin-care or makeup products.
