Lyke Zhekova strode over, directly grabbed Jacob Zahn's shoulder, and flung him out.
Peggy Lewis saw what was happening through the peephole and quickly opened the door.
"Who's there?" Jacob Zahn had not yet seen Lyke Zhekova.
As soon as he stabilized himself, he demanded in a furious tone.
It was only when he raised his head that he realized it was Lyke Zhekova.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Lyke Zhekova turned to see Peggy Lewis coming out.
Lyke Zhekova frowned, "Why did you come out? Go back in and lock the door."
Peggy Lewis shook her head, "With you here, he can't hurt me. I can't just lock you out."
Lyke Zhekova was touched by her trust, even a hint of dependence she hadn't noticed herself.
He then gave Peggy Lewis a tender smile.
The presence of Lyke Zhekova and his smile filled Peggy Lewis's heart with an unusual sense of security.
Seeing Lyke Zhekova there, Jacob Zahn knew there was no chance he could harm Peggy Lewis tonight.
