Chapter 33 – Chapter 30: Richelle, are you, triplets?
Little Mr. Timmy tilted his head back, fluttering his long eyelashes and looking at his dad with an uneasy expression, seeking help.
Roy Lewis stroked his son’s curly hair soothingly, then earnestly spoke to Richelle Dunn.
“Dr. Dunn, Timmy wants to change to a suitable kindergarten. Before we find the right one, could you please help take care of him during the day? You can name your price. The main thing is, Timmy really enjoys playing with Timothy and Tifanny, so what do you think…”
Roy’s words got to this point, and Richelle couldn’t hold back any longer, nodding enthusiastically.
“Of course, I’m sure Timothy and Tifanny would be thrilled!”
B0x𝔫𝙤ѵ𝑒𝙡.comRoy Lewis looked at Richelle Dunn and felt that she seemed a bit overly excited.
Was it just his imagination?
And so, after Richelle finished administering acupuncture to Roy, she waited for him to fall asleep before leaving the mansion with little Mr. Timmy, who had a huge pile of food and toys packed for him. They then went together to her small, run-down house.
However, Uncle Axel was worried that her rickety vehicle was unsafe, and he specially dispatched a driver and bodyguard with a big SUV. He and Mrs. Collins accompanied little Mr. Timmy and his belongings over there.
When the SUV arrived downstairs, Uncle Axel and Mrs. Collins wanted to go upstairs, but Richelle dared not let them.
“My kids are quite shy and don’t like meeting strangers. Just bringing Timmy and his belongings to the door is fine.”
Hearing Richelle’s words, Uncle Axel and Mrs. Collins did not insist further.
Moreover, little Mr. Timmy was nodding his head vigorously on the side, “Yes, Timothy and Tifanny really don’t like seeing strangers.”
So, Uncle Axel and Mrs. Collins reluctantly said goodbye to little Mr. Timmy at the door of Richelle’s shabby house, while little Mr. Timmy showed no reluctance at all, waving his hand and urging them to leave quickly.
“Grandpa Axel, Mrs. Collins, you can go now. I’m going in!”
Uncle Axel and Mrs. Collins looked back three times for every step they took, and finally, they turned into the stairwell and were no longer visible.
Only after Richelle confirmed that it was safe did she take out her key and open the door. She moved the luggage in first, and then led her elder son inside while holding his hand.
As soon as the door closed, she couldn’t suppress the surging maternal love in her heart and squatted down to hug little Mr. Timmy tightly.
“My baby!”
Fearing that little Mr. Timmy would feel uncomfortable, she quickly let go of the hug after a few seconds. Once she let go, she touched his face, made a ‘hush’ gesture, and then took out the lion fur slippers she had specially bought for her eldest son, helping him put them on before leading him into the living room.
There was no one in the living room, and the sound of kitchen utensils clashing could be heard from the kitchen. Meanwhile, the sound of children’s chattering could be heard from the bedroom. Richelle stood with her elder son in the center of the living room and called out with a raised voice.
“Timothy, Tifanny, Mommy has brought you a big surprise!”
Soon, the sounds of messy footsteps could be heard coming from the bedroom.
Before anyone could come out, Tifanny’s voice asked, “Mommy, did you bring us some delicious food back?”
Little Mr. Timmy’s face showed a hint of disappointment. Richelle hurriedly reassured him in a low voice, “Don’t worry, your siblings will definitely be happier to see you than any yummy treats.”
Just as she finished comforting him, the door slammed open, and Tifanny and Timothy came running out, one after the other. Seeing little Mr. Timmy standing next to Richelle, the siblings jumped up in excitement.
“Wow, big brother! This is great, Mommy, you’re the best!”
Tifanny bounced over and hugged little Mr. Timmy, chattering away and then planting a kiss on his face with a “smack.”
Timothy also ran over, stretching out his little arms, trying to hug both his brother and sister.
“Brother, Tifanny and I missed you so much!”
Feeling the warm welcome of his siblings, little Mr. Timmy’s face also broke into a joyful smile. He opened his arms and tried to hug his brother and sister back.
“Brother and sister, come, I brought you gifts!”
Little Mr. Timmy had quite the big brother aura, as he had received gifts from his siblings the other day and had been wanting to return the favor and make them happy, but had not been able to find the right opportunity.
Today was finally the opportunity, so he asked Uncle Axel and Mrs. Collins to help bring over a large box of snacks and toys.
Upon hearing this, Timothy and Tifanny happily released him, and the three children excitedly ran to the entrance.
Mrs. Walker, who was cooking lunch in the kitchen, finished her tasks and came out.
“Richelle, did you bring your eldest son back?”
After spending a few days together, Mrs. Walker and Richelle’s family had become quite familiar.
Richelle smiled, “Yes, his name is Timmy.”
As they were talking, the three children happily pushed a large box of snacks into the living room.
Mrs. Walker walked closer, “Let me see who among them is Timmy?”
Mr. Timmy raised his head, and Mrs. Walker was stunned. She looked at Richelle incredulously, “Richelle, are they triplets?”
Richelle nodded with a smile, “Yes, Timmy is the oldest.”
After saying this, she stroked Timmy’s head, “Timmy, this is Mrs. Walker, the auntie of the house.”
Mr. Timmy nodded at Mrs. Walker, hesitated for a moment, and then softly said, “Hello, Mrs. Walker!”
Tifanny chimed in, “Big brother, Mrs. Walker has given you a gift, and I’ve collected it on your behalf. I also gave her a gift in return for you. Of course, you can give her another gift yourself, which would be more polite.”
Mr. Timmy immediately thanked Mrs. Walker, “Thank you!”
Compared to his cool demeanor at the Lewis household, Mr. Timmy had become much more cheerful and polite under the influence of his lively brother and sister.
As the three children played in the living room, Richelle and Mrs. Walker went into the kitchen together.
“Mrs. Walker, my three children… I just found my eldest son a few days ago… He thought I didn’t want him, and now he’s still resentful and refuses to accept me.”
Before, Richelle dared not dream that her eldest son would return, so she didn’t mention him to Mrs. Walker.
But under the current circumstances, if she didn’t reveal some of the truth, it would be easy for misunderstandings to occur, leaving both Mrs. Walker and her eldest son feeling uncomfortable.
Mrs. Walker exclaimed in surprise, “Ah?”
“Also, my eldest son’s father is the patient I’m treating now. He doesn’t know about Timothy and Tifanny. The last time he brought Timmy over, Timothy and Tifanny were wearing masks, so he thought I had married someone else and had Timothy and Tifanny with them…”
Richelle revealed the half-truth to Mrs. Walker, also giving her a heads up to be cautious in case Roy Lewis suddenly visited. That would be troublesome.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Walker sighed.
“My goodness, you’re so young, and you’ve been through so much.”
Mrs. Walker truly felt sorry for Richelle.
Richelle shook her head with a smile, “No, I think my three children are the best gifts from heaven!”
Mrs. Walker, also being a mother, wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, “Yes, even if it’s hard and tiring, it’s still happiness for a mother.”
Richelle nodded in agreement.
“Alright, it’s not easy for you to see your eldest son. I’ll handle things here. You go spend time with the siblings.”
Yet, Richelle remained motionless. She wanted to give her eldest son everything she could.
However, she was afraid he wouldn’t accept her efforts, so she carefully weighed how much to give.
Too much might make him resentful.
Too little could make him sad…
