NOVPUBChapter 926: Chapter 926: What Did We Gain After All?_1 Chapter 926: Chapter 926: What Did We Gain After All?_1 At that time, he did feel that something was wrong, but he never figured out what was amiss.
Now, halfway along his journey, he finally pieced it together.
As his mind clicked, it was as if he got a small electric shock.
He finally remembered that Adrian Zhekova asked him not to contact Peggy Lewis.
However, even if he wanted to contact her, he wouldn’t be able to as he did not have Peggy Lewis’s contact details!
Whether it was her phone number or Whatsapp information, he had forgotten to ask Peggy Lewis for them!
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
So, with all the time he spent alone with Peggy Lewis, what had he gained?
...
Lyke Zhekova suddenly felt like his IQ had plummeted.
It seemed like he didn’t gain anything at all.
***
As for Adrian Zhekova, he just kicked Lyke Zhekova out of the house.
Once Adrian Zhekova returned, he let out a sigh of relief, “Finally, he is gone.
Let’s get back to our movie.”
Cindy Clarke: “…”
Cindy Clarke twitched her mouth.
So, Adrian Zhekova hurried Lyke Zhekova away?
“Actually, it wasn’t a trick,” said Adrian Zhekova, “I was truthful.
Telling him to go home and think is also true.”
“I just took advantage of his confusion and persuaded him to leave,” Adrian Zhekova explained, “Otherwise, who knows how long he would have stayed in our house.”
Cindy Clarke thought, is this persuasion?
This is taking advantage of someone’s confusion and pushing them out.
However, Cindy Clarke didn’t feel sorry for Lyke Zhekova.
It’s already so late, it’s better for Lyke Zhekova to leave early.
But, Cindy Clarke didn’t feel like watching a movie anymore.
The little one wasn’t sleepy anymore thanks to Lyke Zhekova.
The child followed Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke back to their bedroom.
Because of Lyke Zhekova’s presence earlier, neither Adrian Zhekova nor Cindy Clarke had any alcohol.
They only poured juice for Lyke Zhekova.
Lyke Zhekova was driving, so he obviously couldn’t drink alcohol.
So now, the red wine they had poured earlier remained untouched.
Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova took the red wine and nuts back to the bedroom, and placed them neatly on the bedside table.
However, Cindy Clarke didn’t play the movie.
Instead, she asked Adrian Zhekova, “What do you think Fourth Uncle is pondering?”
“Pondering about what?” Adrian Zhekova didn’t catch on.
“About Peggy!” Cindy Clarke poked him.
What was he lost in thought about at this moment?
Adrian Zhekova looked down to see not only Cindy Clarke, with her sparkling eyes, was looking at him.
Even the little one looked at him with bright, shiny eyes.
Clearly, even the little one was deeply concerned about Peggy Lewis’s happiness.
As for Lyke Zhegova, he definitely wasn’t included in the child’s sphere of concern.
After all, they were not familiar with Lyke Zhekova.
But for Peggy Lewis, their feelings ran deep and true for many years.
“Judging from Fourth Uncle’s reaction just now, there’s no doubt,” Adrian Zhekova laughed, “Fourth Uncle surely likes Peggy Lewis.
He just doesn’t realise it yet.”
“Let him ponder for a couple of days, he will figure it out on his own,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“All the signs we discussed earlier, he surely showed them,” Adrian Zhekova stated.
“How do you know?
Did you hear Fourth Uncle’s thoughts?” Cindy Clarke asked.
“No,” Adrian Zhekova said, “Unless necessary, I don’t actively listen to people’s thoughts.
It’s disrespectful.”
Especially towards family members.
Listening to each other’s thoughts while they are unsuspecting, that’s just not acceptable.
