Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: He Lost in Terms of Age_1 Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: He Lost in Terms of Age_1 “That’s quite the question…” Matthew Xenos grimaced, finding it somewhat impolite.

Who would ask about somebody’s income to their face?

However, seeing Lyke Zhekova’s judgmental gaze, Matthew Xenos replied, “I have an annual income of around four to five hundred thousand.”
Mr.

Lewis nodded in approval, seemingly impressed.

But Mr.

Lewis’s nod infuriated Lyke Zhekova, and he decided not to let Matthew Xenos go unchallenged.

Could it be that Mr.

Lewis was actually quite satisfied with Matthew Xenos?

That’s unacceptable!

What’s so great about Matthew Xenos?!

Matthew Xenos was also not pleased with Lyke Zhekova’s attitude.

Since Lyke had dared ask him so directly, he felt he should respond in kind.

Matthew Xenos asked, “And Mr.

wuxiaworld.site

Zhekova, your age…?”
Lyke Zhekova: “…”
He did not want to answer.

Lyke Zhekova’s face abruptly turned cold.

What if Mr.

Lewis thinks he’s too old after he reveals his age?

With his cold stare, the atmosphere in the room turned awkwardly chilly.

Mr.

Lewis was anxious.

He’s never been smooth with words.

When he used to work, he had to deal with colleagues of all kinds and respond to all kinds of situations.

It was hard, but manageable because it was a professional setting.

However, after his retirement, he doesn’t have those pressures.

He has completely relaxed, and over the years, those skills have long faded away.

Luckily, at that moment, Mrs.

Lewis and Peggy Lewis finally came out with the fruit platter.

Mr.

Lewis breathed a sigh of relief.

He wondered why Mrs.

Lewis and Peggy Lewis had taken so long to prepare the fruit tray.

Peggy Lewis glanced at Mr.

Lewis and then at Lyke Zhekova.

Due to their recent interactions, which Lyke has made into a habit, she instinctively sat down next to Lyke.

She appeared quite natural sitting close to him, showing no signs of unfamiliarity.

Both Mrs.

Lewis and Mr.

Lewis were stunned.

It seemed Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova had a very good relationship!

“What happened?” Peggy Lewis whispered to Lyke Zhekova ..

Lyke Zhekova turned his head and replied softly, “Mr.

Xenos was asking about my age and job.”
Lyke Zhekova kept his explanation brief.

However, without him spelling out the unspoken part, Peggy Lewis instinctively understood what he was implying.

She certainly would tell all this to Mrs.

Lewis and Mr.

Lewis.

As for Matthew Xenos, whom she neither knew nor understood, and was unlikely to see him in the future.

There was no need to go into such depth.

Peggy Lewis didn’t realize the situation, whereas Lyke Zhekova did it on purpose.

The two of them whispering together portrayed an unspeakable intimacy.

Seeing this, Mrs.

Lewis’ heart leaped.

This was all while being mindful of their elders.

If it was just the two of them, who knows how intimate they could be?

Yet Peggy insisted they were just friends?

Her daughter was still single, apparently lacking some sense.

She could blame no one else.

The way they interact with each other is so natural, it feels like no one else can interfere.

When Peggy Lewis leaned over to whisper something to Lyke, she happened to notice the look on Matthew Xenos’ face.

Seeing his slight frown, Peggy Lewis raised her eyebrows in impatience.

What kind of face was Matthew Xenos pulling in their home?

She was completely unaware that Lyke had just taken the opportunity to poke fun at Matthew Xenos.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Mrs.

Lewis quickly intervened, “Let’s enjoy the fruit, don’t be shy, let’s all have some.”
Mrs.

Lewis had prepared a large variety of fruit on the platter.

There were strawberries, melons, apples, peaches, watermelons, and apricots.

The apricots were specially purchased from Iran, which were extremely sweet.

However, because they were small, they weren’t portioned, so you just have them as is.

The rest of the fruit were cut into pieces, making it easier to eat with a fork.

By now, Lyke was well aware of Peggy’s taste.

He first forked a piece of strawberry for Peggy.

Mrs.

Lewis had cut off the white part along with the stem of the strawberry, then sliced it in half.

The center of the strawberry was exposed, resembling a heart shape.

The red and white contrast was especially pleasing to the eye.

Peggy Lewis naturally took it, and Lyke then forked a piece of melon for himself.

Watching the two, Mrs.

Lewis felt like they were acting like a couple.

Since Mrs.

Lewis had already known Lyke’s identity, his occupation, as well as the basic information about his age, she didn’t ask him any more questions.

Matthew Xenos, still without an answer from Lyke, saw the conversation drifting away from his question.

So he asked again, “Mr.

Zhekova, you haven’t answered my previous question.”
Lyke answered reluctantly, “37.”
He had lost on the age factor.

After Lyke Zhekova revealed his age, he observed the reaction of Mrs.

Lewis and Mr.

Lewis.

Mrs.

Lewis showed no reaction.

Because she had heard it from Peggy Lewis before.

Only Mr.

Lewis was taken aback after hearing his age.

He hadn’t expected Lyke Zhekova to be so old.

The age difference with Peggy Lewis was quite significant.

Normally, people of his age would have been married, have a kid, gotten a divorce, and would be getting ready for a second marriage.

Just now, after seeing how Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova interacted, Mr.

Lewis had some guesses about the situation.

Seeing Mr.

Lewis’s reaction, Lyke Zhekova felt a sinking feeling inside.

On the other hand, Matthew Xenos seemed to be delighted to have found Lyke Zhekova’s weak point and exaggerated, “You’re already 37?

So, you must be married?”
Lyke Zhekova only smiled faintly and said, “I’m single.”
“How is it possible to be single at such an age?” Could it be that his conditions were too poor so that no one was willing to marry him?

Perhaps he was single because he’d grown accustomed to boasting excessively.

Or was it that he had boasted in the past, only to be caught and exposed?

“I have high standards.” Lyke Zhekova responded without hesitation.

To avoid any misunderstandings with Peggy Lewis, he gave her a smile after his statement.

His high standards are the reason he was attracted to Peggy Lewis.

That means Peggy Lewis is outstanding!

Whether Peggy Lewis understood Lyke Zhekova’s intention or not is unknown.

However, Mrs.

Lewis definitely understood.

Mrs.

Lewis was absolutely delighted!

She didn’t find the age difference of 37 unfavorable at all.

It wasn’t even a difference of fifteen or twenty years.

It’s just a difference of 10 years, what’s the big deal about it?

The key factor was that Lyke Zhekova was mature and steady!

Being a bit older, he knew how to accommodate others.

As a result, a comparison made it evident that Lyke Zhekova was much steadier than Matthew Xenos.

Seeing Matthew Xenos being somewhat aggressive, Mrs.

Lewis wasn’t very fond of him.

Poor Matthew Xenos was misunderstood.

Mrs.

Lewis hadn’t seen how Lyke Zhekova had just backed Matthew Xenos into a corner.

Mrs.

Lewis was now just focusing on Lyke’s little details.

She wanted to see if Lyke Zhekova liked Peggy Lewis or not.

Even though Mrs.

Lewis thought this way, she still needed to verify it, right?

She observed that when it was time to eat fruit, Lyke Zhekova was the first one to think of Peggy Lewis.

This certainly earned him extra points.

Lewis nodded in approval.

Matthew Xenos was about to ask about Lyke Zhekova’s income.

From Lyke Zhekova’s earlier reaction it seemed Lyke was looking down on his income.

He was curious to see how Lyke was going to boast again.

However, before he could ask, the ringtone of their house walkie-talkie went off.
