Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1263

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Hey, They’re So Envious_1 Chapter 1263 -1263: Hey, They’re So Envious_1 “What guests are they?” Adrian Zhekova grumbled.

He wanted to celebrate alone with Cindy Clarke.

Adding Morgan Zhekova was already pushing his limits.

After all, it’s his own son, and he had to put up with it, right?

But when Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis were added to the mix, Adrian Zhekova felt it was totally unnecessary.

These two, though Adrian Zhekova hadn’t met them at the doorstep yet.

But Adrian Zhekova could already imagine, Peggy Lewis and Lyke Zhekova were likely here to join the celebration.

...

More importantly, they wanted to taste the winning cuisine made by Clarke.

Adrian Zhekova sighed, ever since Peggy Lewis married Lyke Zhekova, a good young man was influenced by Lyke Zhekova to the dark side, becoming totally shameless.

At this time, Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis heard Adrian Zhekova coming back and came out.

The little fellow was busily building his own little island and still working in the living room.

He just took a moment to call out: “Daddy!”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

He felt his own status was gradually declining.

“How long have you been here?” Adrian Zhekova asked as he walked.

They’re all family, so there was no need to be so polite.

“We just got here not too long ago.” Lyke Zhekova answered.

The housekeeper was helping out in the kitchen.

Clarke had already prepared everything in the afternoon.

So, Peggy Lewis wasn’t needed there.

Peggy Lewis was just playing with Morgan in the living room.

While Morgan was creating his little island, Peggy Lewis was giving him some suggestions.

The two of them discussing the construction of the little island was quite a lively conversation.

Adrian Zhekova went to change into comfortable home clothes.

As he was changing, he couldn’t help thinking how comfortable his own home was, where he could change clothes as he wished.

Unlike Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis who couldn’t do that.

Heh, they must be so envious!

By the time Adrian Zhekova came out and was ready to meet them in the living room, he found out that Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis were also dressed casually.

When he first saw them, he wasn’t paying much attention.

Only now did he notice.

“Is this what you wore to work?” That was too casual.

It was maybe okay for Peggy Lewis.

The workplace wasn’t really like what’s shown in dramas, where you had to dress so formally.

Men in suits and leather shoes.

Women dressed in suits, heels, meticulously applied makeup, and elegant hairstyles.

All kinds of wavy and messy buns.

But in reality, everyone’s busy catching buses and subways in the morning.

They can’t be late and want to sleep a little bit longer, there’s just no time to make themselves look that good, right?

Peggy Lewis, previously, didn’t even have time to eat breakfast at home.

She simply stopped by the convenience store to grab a sandwich or some rice balls for her meal.

She didn’t have time to put much effort into her appearance at all.

Her clothes were mainly about comfort, and no one would say anything even if she wore sneakers to work.

On other hand, Lyke Zhekova, as the CEO, really had to care about his image.

He still needed to dress more formally.

So it wasn’t surprising to see Peggy Lewis dressed casually.

But did Lyke Zhekova go to work dressed like this today?

“No way, we specifically went home first to change before coming here.” Lyke Zhekova said, “Otherwise, coming for dinner dressed so formally would be uncomfortable.

It would also ruin the feeling of a casual family gathering, wouldn’t it?”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

You two sure know how to enjoy yourselves.

“You even made a detour home and got here before me.” Adrian Zhekova twitched his mouth, “What time did you guys really get off work?”

“Ahem!” Lyke Zhekova cleared his throat nervously, “Just slightly earlier.”

“You’re the boss, it doesn’t matter for you.” Adrian Zhekova said, “But what about Peg…”

Adrian Zhekova was interrupted by Lyke Zhekova’s gaze and he quickly corrected himself: “But what about Fourth Aunt?

Did she take the day off too?”

Peggy Lewis was a bit embarrassed being called “Fourth Aunt” by Adrian Zhekova.

Especially since Adrian Zhekova was older than her.

She always felt like she was taking advantage of Adrian Zhekova.

“Once or twice is no big deal.” Lyke Zhekova said, “Celebrating Clarke is more important.”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

I think you guys just wanted to get here earlier for dinner.

At this moment, Clarke called out: “Adrian, dinner is ready.

Call Fourth Uncle and Peggy to the dining room.”

So, Adrian Zhekova called Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis to the dining room.

And reminded Morgan: “Go wash your hands; it’s time for dinner.

Weren’t you always asking for chicken meatball soup?”

The little guy put down the game after chopping down a tree and obediently went to wash his hands and sat down at his place.

Adrian Zhekova asked him: “What would you like to drink?”

The little guy thought for a moment, and said: “I want grapefruit juice.”

So, Adrian Zhekova retrieved the grapefruit juice, opened it and poured little guy a glass.

Then he asked Lyke Zhekova and Peggy Lewis: “Shall we have some sake?”

“Let’s have some sake.” Cindy came out just in time to hear, “To go with the soup, I made more Japanese-style dishes for dinner, which pairs well with sake.”

“We have some decent sake at home.” Zhekova said.

Even though Lyke Zhekova drove here, they could easily call a driver or hire a replacement driver to bring them home.

“Sounds good.” Lyke Zhekova agreed and asked Peggy, “Can you drink?”

“I don’t mind.” Peggy laughed.

She used to often go to Clarke’s house, and they would have a small drink together.

They would have a few small dishes to accompany the alcohol, and they weren’t trying to get drunk, just leisurely eating and sipping their drinks.

They could even chat all night if it wasn’t getting too late.

Sharing a pot of alcohol with a close friend, perhaps, was what it was all about.

“How about you, will you have some?” Adrian Zhekova asked Clarke.

“Of course.” Clarke said, “Since this is a celebration for me, how can I not drink?”

Adrian Zhekova smiled and brought out a bottle of sake.

The bottle of sake was a large 750ml one, and it contained edible gold flakes inside.

Adrian Zhekova specifically brought out the sake cups.

He poured everyone a glass.

Handmade ripple-pattern glass cups, are quite different from mass-produced ones.

The rim of the glass is not flat, there are soft uneven waves.

The pattern on the glass looks like ripples on water surface caused by wind, or a tranquil lake surface disturbed by a stone, or the sparkling sunset reflection on water surface.

Because the cup was quite thick, it didn’t have a high degree of transparency like normal glass cups.

It looked more like a cup carved out of ice, becoming semi-transparent.

When the sake was poured into the cup, you could still see the clear transparent beverage through the cup.

And the thin gold flakes were accentuated by the glass.

Peggy Lewis lifted the cup to her nose and sniffed it a few times.

The faint rice fragrance carried a unique gentle note, slowly flowing into her nostrils
