Chapter 1152

Patrick picked up the oily green jalapeno, took a deep breath, and chewed.

His mouth was instantly ignited, and he was jumping around in circles.” Argh!!!”

Everyone was laughing themselves silly at his reaction, and things could not be more cheerful.

‘ Drink some water, Patrick,” Cordy quickly said over the phone, since she knew he could not take spicyfood.

‘ Water, water!” Patrick started looking around while his throat seemed to billow with smoke.

That was when a large, long hand brought a glass of cold water, and no one saw who it was since hewas not on camera.

Only Cordy seemed to blink just then.

After Patrick had his drink, he still took a while to recover. “Is this enough, Zoe?”

“Of course not,” Zoe said right away.

Patrick could die right then. “What else must I do, ma’am?”

“Did you think you could have Cordy that easily?” Zoe repeated.

“Cut it out, Zoe.”

Jay suddenly appeared on screen, while Zoe did a double take.

He was there too? It was their chauffeur who gave her a ride this morning!

“I’m not playing here,” Zoe retorted, sounding wounded. “This is serious business. Cordy’s happiness isin the balance.”

“It’s fine,” Patrick quickly said. “Let’s continue.”

Zoe giggled smugly then. “See? That’s a good husband right there, unlike you who won’t even give mea wedding.”

Jay was left feeling awkward, though Zoe was good enough to liven up the atmosphere and redirecteveryone’s attention.

“Patrick,” she said loudly, “we just discussed going through the vicissitudes of life. But don’t you thinkyou need to be healthy enough to grow old with Cordy first?”

“Yes,” Patrick nodded repeatedly-whatever Zoe said went now.

“Then do a hundred push-ups,” Zoe said. “How are you going to protect your wife if you don’t evenhave stamina?”

Patrick froze.

A hundred push-ups?

Was she trying to kill her?!

‘ Ms. York, Patrick isn’t going to have his bride tonight after this!” Someone among Patrick’s friendsjoked just then, and everyone laughed.

’Is a hundred push-ups enough to exhaust him? That’s sad,’ Zoe added insult to injury.

Naturally, no man could stand such provocation, and Patrick promptly took off his suit and dropped tothe floor, getting started as everyone cheered him on.

“1,2,3…“

Excitement buzzed in the air, and it took Patrick a while to reach seventy… and he started to getexhausted.

He was never active physically, and he merely came this far because he was spurred by the challenge.

And now, he had reached his limit.

“That’s good enough, right?” Cordy asked.

Zoe could not help teasing, “Worried that he really can’t get going tonight?”

Cordy was left blushing.

Still, Zoe was just having fun and was not about to delay the wedding.

Just as she was going to tell Patrick could save his strength for Cordy later, another man appeared infront of the screen.

“I’ll do the rest for him,” Sean said, since Patrick was already floored from fatigue.
