"By now, Fourth Uncle should have sent Peggy home already, based on time," Cindy Clarke checked the time.
Unless Lyke Zhekova had another new plan for Peggy on the way?
"We'd know if we just answer the phone." Adrian Zhekova said.
Cindy was excitedly waiting on the side.
Then she saw Adrian Zhekova answer his phone: "Fourth Uncle?"
"Adrian, ah." Lyke Zhekova asked, "Are you guys asleep yet?"
Before Adrian Zhekova could answer, Lyke Zhekova said: "It's only a little past 10, you guys must still be awake."
Adrian Zhekova: "..."
What does he mean by it's only a little after 10?
Shouldn't it be already past 10?
"We're both snuggled up in bed, ready to watch a movie and have some red wine before we sleep." Simultaneously being suggestive of 'if there's anything, tell us tomorrow.'
Adrian Zhekova always got the feeling that Lyke Zhekova's purpose of asking this was definitely not what he wanted to hear.
