Chapter 67
Lacey was stunned. "What's the matter? You two know each other?"
Dawn replied, "He's the f**king trashman I've just told you about."
Ha!
Lacey smirked. "Dawn, didn't someone say she'll kill that trashman if she ever sees him again?"
Dawn instantly blushed. "Shut up! I didn't say that!"
Then, she looked Zeke up and down. "If you have time, Lacey, you should go to the hospital for a health screening."
Lacey asked, "Why? I'm not sick."
"To get your eyes and brain checked properly," Dawn replied. "Why would you get a trashman as your husband if there's nothing wrong with your eyes and brain?" Lacey laughed and said, "You mean girl, you haven't changed a bit, have you?"
"Zeke, don't take it to heart. This girl has always been crazy."
Zeke simply nodded his head.
He wouldn't bother to argue with this little girl.
Dawn looked at Zeke petulantly. "Well, you, a trashman, are not worthy of Lacey at all."
"I'm f**king warning you, you'd better get a decent job and work hard to make money. If you can't pay a decent dowry, I will never f**king let Lacey marry you." Zeke was speechless.
What's wrong with this woman? Why does she keep cursing?
Not to be outdone, he retorted, "Lacey, why have you never mentioned that you had a younger brother before?"
Lacey burst out laughing.
Dawn shook her fists in anger. "Asshole, who are you calling a man?"
"Why do you keep cursing if you're not a man?" Zeke struck back. "By the way, you must be a fitness coach, right? You have well-defined pecs."
Dawn was mad. "Argh, I'm gonna kill you."
Lacey clutched her stomach as she laughed.
I only knew Dawn took pleasure in making caustic remarks, but I didn't expect Zeke to be so good at it as well!
It's so funny when these two are going at each other. I'm looking forward to more sideshows from them.
Seeing Dawn about to cry, Lacey changed the subject. "Dawnie, I heard you've found a job. How about you treat me to a meal?"
Dawn nodded her head. "No problem. Let's have some steak. I heard that steaks are on sale today." She added, "Hey, trashman, I will take you with us. Don't forget to bring your money." Dawn and Lacey got into the Lavida, whereas Zeke followed suit carrying the sack.
Dawn shrieked, "Hey, hey, why are you bringing a sack?"
"Didn't you ask me to bring my money?" Zeke replied.
Dawn was taken aback for a moment before she burst into laughter. "Don't tell me this sack is filled with money. Then, she continued, "Damn, with that kind of bluff, you could've become the king of poker." Lacey was a little angry with Zeke.
Although she was very close to Dawn, who would not laugh at her, she still hoped that her husband could appear more charismatic in front of others.
Zeke's shabbiness made her feel a little embarrassed.
Before long, the three arrived at a western restaurant.
After looking at the menu, Lacey ordered three sets of regular steak that cost 58 each.
Dawn had just started working and did not have much money, so she could only afford this level of consumption.
This was the first time Dawn had ever treated Lacey to a meal. Hence, Lacey didn't offer to pay for the bill to maintain Dawn's dignity.
While waiting for the steak, Lacey's phone rang suddenly.
It was a call from the steel mill worker, saying that the machinery had broken down and that the production was halted.
Lacey became frantic.
The steel mill was currently racing against time to produce the order for the Schneider family, and any sort of delay could not be allowed.
Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to say, "I have to go back to the factory first. You two eat first."
Dawn did not want to be left alone with Zeke, as she was worried he would embarrass her, so she hurriedly replied, "Lacey, I will go with you." Lacey said, "We have already ordered the steaks. If you don't eat it, it will be wasted. You should stay here."
