Translator: 549690339

After being frightened by Roy Lewis’ hoarse voice, Richelle Dunn lifted the covers, jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and fled.

Roy Lewis touched his sore waist and stared at her disappearing figure with his deep eyes. He didn’t smile until she banged the door shut.

He got out of bed and took a cool shower in the bathroom to calm down.

Dinner was eaten out, as South Asian cuisine is quite similar to Federation cuisine. The family of five found a restaurant that Timothy said had good food and sat down.

With the kids around, Richelle temporarily forgot about the awkwardness with Roy Lewis, and even purposely ordered some seafood dishes that the children loved.

Throughout the meal, Roy Lewis was busy taking care of the three naughty kids, and didn’t have much energy to pay attention to her.

Richelle enjoyed her meal and on the way back, the family strolled leisurely in the cool night breeze.

Back at home, the three children played in the yard while Richelle brewed tea, washed some fruits, and poured some nuts on a plate. She sat with Roy Lewis on the front porch, watching the children play and chatting.

Richelle started by asking about the follow-up on the kidnappers. Hearing that the police had arrested all the accomplices, she finally felt relieved.

“How is your master doing?”

Roy Lewis wanted to call and ask after her, but remembering her eccentric personality, he thought she might not want to be disturbed.

“Mm, she’s always been carefree. She rested for a morning, and then went back to the lab to work in the afternoon.”

Richelle grumbled, but knew deep down that an undisturbed normal life meant that her master really wasn’t too affected.

“As long as she’s fine. But you’d better persuade her to undergo some therapy, just to prevent any problems.”

Richelle nodded, “I was thinking the same thing. I’ll wait a couple of days, let her finish the important tasks at hand, then she’ll be more likely to listen.” After talking about her master, Richelle was ready to confess her relationship with Denise Munni.

However, it was a bit sudden, and even though she had thought of how to bring it up, she took a sip of tea and paused before speaking.

“Roy Lewis, I have something to tell you.”

Roy Lewis was sipping his tea and smiling as he watched the children chasing each other on the lawn. It was only now that he truly appreciated how a yard and lawn could be a children’s paradise.

He turned to her, jokingly asking.

“What, you didn’t hide another child, did you?”

Richelle rolled her eyes at him, “You flatter me, do you really think I’m a pig mother?”

Roy Lewis’ gentle gaze swept over her, “Where can I find a pig mother who is so beautiful and charming?”

Richelle couldn’t help but kick him under the table.

Roy Lewis’ smile grew even more.

At her age, most of her peers would still be enjoying the prime of their youth.

But, her life these past few years, had been filled with children and career.

Just thinking about it, Roy Lewis felt heavy on her behalf.

That’s why he was more than willing to pamper her a little.

And the happy, child-like girl who would laugh when happy and kick when unhappy, was the Richelle Dunn he liked to see.

After kicking him, Richelle stared at him in feigned anger.

“Roy Lewis, be serious for a minute.”

If there was one thing Roy Lewis was good at, it was being serious.

Whether it was truly serious, or just pretending to be.

He straightened his face, “Mm, tell me, what’s the matter?”

Richelle then asked him, “I heard that Nathan wants to negotiate with United Ventures?”

Roy Lewis was currently puzzled about the relationship between Richelle Dunn, Margareth, and Denise Munni. He was somewhat surprised to hear her bring it up proactively.

“How did you know? Did Nathan tell you?”

Richelle shook her head and confessed.

“No, Denise told me.”

After this misunderstanding, Richelle finally understood that when it came to people close and trustworthy, it was best to be straightforward. Concealing things would only cause misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

Although she didn’t think her feelings for Roy Lewis were fragile, knowing that being open could avoid trouble and misunderstandings, she wondered why they had to test each other with twists and turns?

Roy Lewis had initially thought he would have to investigate for a while to trace the relationship between Richelle and Denise Munni.

But she confessed directly and openly.

“Are you and Denise, close friends?”

Richelle did not deny it, “Her and I can be considered friends through conflicts. We met due to some misunderstandings and quickly became like sisters.”

Roy Lewis had thought that the two of them knew each other but didn’t expect them to be such close friends.

And this was precisely the reason they were able to share and exchange information with one another.

“So, you’ve always been aware of United Ventures’ investment in Dunn Group?” Richelle nodded, “Yes, from the beginning to the signing, I was fully aware.” As for other implications, Richelle didn’t intend to hide it from Roy Lewis. She felt that part had no direct relation to him, and her identity should not be disclosed.

So she only talked about the main points of the whole matter, and as long as he didn’t ask further, she didn’t plan to go into detail about things she deemed unnecessary.

By now, Roy Lewis was nearly half certain about Margareth’s identity.

However, Roy Lewis had the same kind of identity and knew that such identities, even among close relatives, could not be brought up openly.

After all, it was a profession that couldn’t survive being exposed. So, he avoided discussing the connection between Richelle and Margareth and instead turned to Richelle.

“So, the position of United Ventures is consistent with yours, is that what you mean?”

Richelle replied with a hum, “Yes, including the signing between United Ventures and Dunn Group and my appearance at the banquet, everything was communicated with Denise beforehand.”

Roy Lewis couldn’t help but secretly admire Richelle.

For Richelle, five years ago, she was saved by Sonia Seaton and brought to South Asia with her children. Except for her children, she had nothing in her life.

By assets, she had negative values in terms of connections, money, and career five years ago.

But in just five years, she not only became an independent woman but also excelled in her field.

On the family front, she had nurtured and educated her children very well. Timothy and Tifanny were both physically and mentally sound, qualifying as an ideal representation of their age group.

Similarly, when it came to dealing with The Dunns, her mortal enemy who had killed her father and taken away her children, she had started to strategize several years ago, step by step, to reach where she was today.

Although she still didn’t have the capability to put The Dunns to death, she already made them live in fear, unable to sleep at night.

The more Roy Lewis understood, the more he admired Richelle, and the sense of pride in his heart continued to swell.

Richelle spoke casually about her relationship with Denise.

Roy Lewis, on the other hand, gazed at her with a loving and delighted look.

In his heart, besides pride, he couldn’t help but feel sympathy.

In these years, how much had she endured to achieve what most people couldn’t do in a lifetime!

Once again, Roy Lewis felt some emotions and small regrets in his heart.

If he and Richelle had reunited earlier, she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much pain and hardship over these years.

Alone, she carried all the burdens!
