Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: This is Really Aunt_1 Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: This is Really Aunt_1 “Have you told her that you’ll hand over all your property to Peggy after getting married?” the Old Madam asked.

It seems like Christopher was the first one to do this.

Then everyone else followed suit, thinking it was a pretty good move.

This way, the wives would never literally throw their husbands out of the house, right?

So, this has now become an unwritten pact of sorts.

It’s not even considered a family tradition per se.

Instead, everyone in their family does it.

“I didn’t have time to mention it, you called me just then.” Lyke admitted, sounding a tad weary.

Why was his visit to meet the parents being interrupted by the Old Madam’s lengthy phone call?

Wasn’t this interrupting his performance?

“Oh good, hand them the phone, I have some words to say too.” The Old Madam requested.

Lyke: “…”
He was genuinely worried, would the Old Madam end up creating more problems?

“Aunt, you weren’t as concerned when it came to Cindy’s parents, right?” Lyke asked quietly.

“Look at this, aren’t you touched?” The Old Madam was quite moved by her own actions.

Lyke: “…”
No, there was no such thing.

“Your foolish worry has clouded your thinking.

Given how Cindy’s parents are, Oliver never had to go through the meet-the-parents round.” The Old Madam clarified.

Lyke: “…”
He had indeed forgotten about that for a moment.

Could it be that the Old Madam wanted to experience it through him because she had never had the chance?

“Now, with only you and your father at home, as male family members, there are things that you both aren’t clear about.

So, who else but me to help out?” The Old Madam explained.

Lyke was quite touched on hearing this.

The Old Madam was indeed dependable when it mattered most.

“You can’t expect your dad to negotiate matters with Peggy’s mom, it would be more appropriate for him to talk to Peggy’s dad.

Moreover, he might not think of all the minor details.” The Old Madam added.

“Aunt, I will hand my mobile phone to my mother-in-law right away.” Lyke replied.

Becoming momentarily careless with the volume of his voice, his words were heard crystal clear by Mr.

and Mrs.

Lewis, as well as Peggy.

Peggy was fine, Lyke had already spilled the beans on his IG stories.

Although Peggy had mentally ridiculed him, at least he had given her a heads up.

Now though she still couldn’t help but ridicule him on hearing this, at least she could handle it.

Poor Mr.

and Mrs.

Lewis had no mental preparation whatsoever.

Mr.

Lewis was still under the impression that his daughter was about to be “snatched” away.

And the next moment, he had become the father-in-law.

Mr.

Lewis: “…”
Mr.

Lewis whispered to Mrs.

Lewis: “Is it too late for me to throw him out now?”
Mrs.

Lewis, looking rather helpless, responded: “I’m afraid it might be too late.”
Mr.

Lewis: “…”
Ah…

He felt like he had unwittingly invited the wolves into the sheep’s pen.

Lyke also realized that he spoke too loud and Mr.

and Mrs.

Lewis must have heard him.

But he wasn’t flustered at all, he calmly returned with his mobile phone and said to Mrs.

Lewis: “Mother-in-law, my Aunt would like to say hello to you.”
Mrs.

Lewis hadn’t expected that she would be directly communicating with the matriarch of the Zhekova Family so soon.

She was so nervous that she didn’t even have the time to rebut Lyke’s address.

Lyke felt that since he had already referred to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in their presence,
There was no need to conceal anything further.

He just needed to firmly express his intention to marry Peggy to them.

Mrs.

Lewis nervously accepted the mobile phone.

Though the two families could now be considered as being in future in-law relations, with Lyke already addressing her as mother-in-law,
The fact remained that she and the Old Madam were from different generations.

The Old Madam was unquestionably a senior relative, the matriarch of the Zhekova Family.

“Old Madam, hello.” Mrs.

Lewis said.

“Oh, my future in-law, hello there.” The Old Madam responded, exuding joy in her tone.

Her voice sounded extraordinarily festive.

Mrs.

Lewis certainly hadn’t expected the Old Madam’s demeanor to be like this.

The Old Madam’s tone and manner of speaking resembled those of cheerful elderly women who dance in the park.

“What do you think of our Lyke?” The Old Madam asked directly.

Mrs.

Lewis was caught off guard by how frank the question was.

Also, even if there was something not likable, she couldn’t just say it to the relative in question, could she?

Yet, up until now, there really wasn’t anything wrong with Lyke.

Mrs.

Lewis laughed and said: “Lyke is wonderful, steady and full of long-term plans-he’s great.”
“Indeed, when I first saw Peggy, I liked her instantly.

I thought to myself, which young man would be worthy of her?” The Old Madam said: “I looked at all the young men in our family, and thought Lyke was quite good.

But I was worried that his age might be a disadvantage.”
“Not at all, Old Madam, you’re being too modest.” Mrs.

Lewis felt a bit under pressure.

“Modesty has nothing to do with it, it’s the truth.

With him being this old and dating a younger girl like Peggy, I’d say he has some nerve.” The Old Madam countered.

Mrs.

Lewis: “…”
Indeed, such a talkative and straight-forward elderly person she was!

“As long as Peggy doesn’t mind, I’m even more grateful to her.” The Old Madam added.

“This is Peggy’s fate.” Mrs.

Lewis replied, albeit with some difficulty.

Even if she had already learned from Cindy that the Zhekova Family didn’t care about maintaining appearances and were very easy-going,
She never thought they could be this casual.

In today’s society, Lyke’s age was not considered old at all.

Given his outstanding personal attributes, finding a younger partner would be easy.

But in the Old Madam’s view, it seemed as if Lyke was taking advantage and Peggy was being disadvantaged?

Truth be told, this was a really smart move by the Old Madam.

Initially, Mrs.

Lewis was rather anxious, unsure of how to get along with the Zhekova Family.

.Co

But now, it was as if the Old Madam had elevated her to an equal standing.

And for the words of the Old Madam, Mrs.

Lewis couldn’t refute them.

If she did, wouldn’t she be belittling her own daughter?

Who would belittle her own daughter?

What if it led to the Zhekova Family looking down on Peggy because of her own undisclosed demeaning remarks?

So, Mrs.

Lewis would never say anything negative about her daughter to others.

Moreover, Peggy indeed was good, in every way.

However, just as she thought about this, it just so happened that the Old Madam relentlessly spoke ill of Lyke.

Unable to agree with the Old Madam’s words, nor capable of belittling Peggy to create balance, Mrs.

Lewis could only give dry laughs.

“Yes, fate indeed!” The Old Madam continued, “Don’t worry, Lyke is a really responsible guy, he won’t ever play around.

He is still single at this age and has never been spotted with young girls.

I once thought he was gay!”
“Love is equal, regardless of gender, I have a liberal mindset.

I’d even agree if he really liked men.

After all, at least he would have a companion when he’s old.

But when I mentioned it, he got annoyed with me!”
