Chapter 949: Uncle
"Can you stand on your own now?""Huh?"
"I’m going to let go, you’re quite heavy."
Lefty said, releasing his hand from around her waist.
Zoe Lewis swayed a bit, then quickly steadied herself, her face turning red and then white.
What the heck, he held her and still managed to insult her.
She quietly pinched the flesh at her waist, sighing in relief. She wasn’t fat at all!
While the two were talking, a few people emerged from the small villa.
Uncle Archer Price, Cousin Oscar Price, Cousin Lucia Price, and another man Zoe didn’t recognize. She guessed it was the blind date candidate for this visit.
Zoe naturally took Lefty’s arm, pulling him toward the door.
Lefty tried to withdraw his arm, but Zoe clung tighter and gave him a warning look.
Lefty stopped moving, fine, let her hold it, hadn’t she taken advantage of him enough already?
Archer Price saw his niece coming over with a man, his face instantly became less friendly, but in front of outsiders, he couldn’t lose his temper and forced a smile: "Missy Zoe, you’ve finally come back. Your uncle hasn’t seen you for over half a year! Who’s this beside you?"
Zoe beamed, warmly calling out to her uncle, then greeting her cousin and cousin, and innocently said: "This is my boyfriend, Uncle. Handsome, isn’t he?"
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. The niece was so endearing, Archer couldn’t just start scolding.
He sized up Lefty, then glanced at the Lamborghini, wary of underestimating him.
He carried himself with an extraordinary demeanor, his looks eclipsing everyone around. Anyone who could be with Zoe must have a decent family background; after all, the Lewis family’s status was clear, and even if the Lewis matriarch didn’t favor Zoe, she wouldn’t allow her to be with a poor boy, to avoid disgracing the family.
The car didn’t seem to be rented or borrowed, it most likely belonged to this man.
When Zoe introduced him, Lefty nodded at Archer, following up with, "Uncle."
Zoe looked at him in surprise, assuming he’d use a less meaningful term like uncle, not expecting him to actually say uncle!
But that single word immediately put Archer Price in a difficult position.
If he accepted it, it seemed like he acknowledged Lefty’s identity.
If he didn’t, so many people were watching, as an elder, would he lack magnanimity if he didn’t respond when a junior called him uncle, wouldn’t that be humiliating himself?
Fortunately, his daughter, Lucia Price, was quick-witted, immediately chiming in with a laugh: "Sis, since when did you get a boyfriend? You never mentioned it. Could it be because Dad wanted to introduce you to someone, so you brought someone here in a hurry?"
Her tone was playful, like someone candid, speaking as a joke, leaving Zoe with no room to pick faults.
Zoe was used to her antics, smiling in response: "We actually just met not long ago, so I brought him to meet Uncle right away! Uncle dotes on me so much, worried I wouldn’t get married, and started arranging matches for me. How could I let Uncle fuss over such trivial matters! Cousin, do you have a partner? If not, I can introduce someone for you; my boyfriend knows plenty of wealthy people!"
She immediately tossed the ball back.
Since you all love arranging dates for me, I might as well do the same for you.
