Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 1021

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: The Scene Still Stays at Her Weird and Ugly Angle_1 Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: The Scene Still Stays at Her Weird and Ugly Angle_1 “I remember now.” Peggy Lewis said sheepishly, “Don't worry, I won't get it wrong next time.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Lyke Zhekova got up and said, “It's late; I should be heading home.”
“Let me call a cab for you; don't drive,” Peggy Lewis suggested, “I know you didn't drink much.

Besides, you had a lot of tea here.”
“But anyone who drinks and then drives can make people feel uneasy,” Peggy Lewis added.

Hearing this, Lyke Zhekova didn't object but readily agreed, “Alright, I will leave my car here then and come back for it tomorrow morning.”
Peggy Lewis was surprised that Lyke Zhekova agreed so quickly.

She thought Lyke Zhekova would say that the little alcohol she drank wouldn't affect her.

Plus, she had had tea and had rested for quite a while.

Any alcohol in her system should have already metabolized.

Yet, surprisingly, Lyke Zhekova agreed obediently.

Peggy Lewis found that Lyke Zhekova was someone who was willing to listen to others.

She wasn't stubborn and didn't insist on her point of view.

Peggy Lewis walked Lyke Zhekova to the door, and they went to the entrance of the Residential Area together.

In the meantime, Peggy Lewis had already booked a cab for Lyke Zhekova.

She had loaded several hundred dollars into her ride-hailing app, which would automatically be deducted at the end of the ride, saving her from making a separate payment.

When they reached the destination, they could get out of the car and leave; it was very convenient.

“You booked a car for me?” Seeing the car pulling up, Lyke Zhekova smiled and said.

“Yes, you're my guest, so I've taken care of everything for you,” Peggy Lewis replied.

Ensuring that guests feel at home from beginning to end is something a good host should do.

After all, Lyke Zhekova had paid for the Hotpot tonight, and she always said she wanted to thank her.

But so far, she had not been able to deliver any thanks, and instead, she seemed to owe more and more.

Lyke Zhekova had helped her find evidence against Jacob Zahn, even taking on the task of distributing the evidence.

She had even treated her to dinner tonight.

For now, Peggy Lewis felt that she was unable to reciprocate adequately with real actions.

After getting into the cab, rolling down the window, Lyke Zhekova said to Peggy Lewis, “I'll let you know when I get home.”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
She hadn't thought of that; it was an oversight.

“Alright.” Peggy Lewis quickly agreed with a smile, and then she stood watching Lyke Zhekova leave.

It was then that Peggy Lewis started to walk home alone.

However, as soon as she turned around, her mobile phone rang.

It wasn't an incoming call alert but a Whatsapp video call alert.

Peggy Lewis checked, and to her surprise, it was a video call from Lyke Zhekova.

Lyke Zhekova had just left, so why was she making a video call again?

Peggy Lewis curiously answered the call, and Lyke Zhekova's face appeared on her phone screen.

Fortunately, the new model of her phone had an improved nighttime photography and video call feature.

So even though it was at night, and Lyke Zhekova was sitting in a car without any light, the picture of Lyke Zhekova was still clear.

The same went for Peggy Lewis's side.

In addition, there was street lighting all along the way in the residential area.

Although the lighting wasn't very bright, thanks to the upgraded camera, Lyke Zhekova could see clearly.

“I just realized after leaving, that you would have to walk home alone.

Even though you're walking inside the residential area, it still makes me uneasy,” Lyke Zhekova said.

“If I'd known, I would've left on my own and wouldn't have let you accompany me,” Lyke Zhekova added.

She didn't say that she shouldn't have had a drink.

If she said that now, how would she use the excuse of not being able to drive after drinking next time?

“It's fine to walk inside the residential area,” Peggy Lewis remarked.

When she finished work late at night, she also walked alone inside the residential area.

The security of their residential area was excellent.

Moreover, the residential area was not large, and the security personnel could recognize any strangers.

“Anyway, I will keep the video call on and watch you till you get home; only then will I be reassured,” Lyke Zhekova said, “You don't need to chat with me.

Just pay attention to the road.

As long as I can see you on screen, it's fine.”
Although Lyke Zhekova said this, Peggy Lewis couldn't ignore her.

However, she did pay attention to the road under Lyke Zhekova's constant reminders.

With Lyke Zhekova accompanying her on the journey, even if it was only through a phone, Peggy Lewis felt that time passed exceptionally quickly, and before she knew it, she was at her apartment entrance.

The journey from the residential area entrance to her home that she had walked so many times before wasn't particularly long.

Maybe it was because she was tired after a day's work, but every time she stepped into the residential area, she couldn't wait to get home as quickly as possible.

Before she entered the residential area, she didn't feel this eagerness.

She always hurried along the stretch of road from the entrance to her home.

She hoped to get home and rest as quickly as possible, to relax, and to make her rest time at home pass a little slower.

But now, the journey that used to feel long suddenly seemed so short.

“I'm about to take the elevator,” Peggy Lewis said.

“The signal inside the elevator is not good, and there might even be no signal.”
“Should we hang up?” Peggy Lewis asked.

“No need to hang up, the signal might hold up, even if it's intermittent, it's okay,” Lyke Zhekova didn't want to end the call so quickly.

Peggy Lewis obediently agreed: “Okay, let's give it a try.”
Carrying her mobile phone, Peggy Lewis entered the elevator.

As the elevator ascended, the signal indeed worsened, with only one bar left.

Then the screen froze.

It wouldn't have been such an issue if it had just frozen; the real problem was the image that was frozen on the screen.

It was a moment when she was tired of holding her phone and had held it at a lower angle.

It was a low-angle shot.

Her face appeared extremely big in that shot, and her nostrils were visible.

Even though Peggy Lewis had moved the phone away, the image on the screen was still stuck at that odd and unflattering angle.

Because of the angle, there was even a hint of a double chin if one looked closely.

Peggy Lewis was not in a good mood.

If the picture is frozen here, won't Lyke Zhekova stare at this image for a long time!

Peggy Lewis felt as if time moved incredibly slowly.

When the elevator finally reached her floor, Peggy Lewis quickly left.

Her phone's signal returned.

Soon, the image on her mobile phone finally moved, no longer frozen at the unflattering angle.

“It did freeze just now.” By this point, Peggy Lewis was extremely embarrassed and blushed deeply.

While speaking, she quickly opened the door and entered her home.

Originally, the dim light in the corridor made it difficult for anyone to see clearly.

Now that she's arrived home, the bright lights inside the house allowed Lyke Zhekova to see Peggy Lewis's face clearly.

Lyke Zhekova could easily see the blush on Peggy Lewis's cheeks.

Peggy Lewis couldn't help but think to herself that she should have hung up the phone when she entered the elevator.
