Chapter 270 - 266: Whoever treats Mommy well is my real dad!
Roy Lewis, hearing her simple description, could imagine how helpless and desperate she must have felt being locked in that small room.
This blood debt, in the future, he must settle it properly with The Dunns!
Roy Lewis’s eyes narrowed as a cold flash passed through them, looking tenderly and affectionately at Richelle Dunn.
“Richelle, you are very brave and great.”
Many people, in such an environment, would have been broken long ago, but she was not discouraged. She didn’t give up, instead she lived on for the sake of the children, staying strong.
Compared to the pain and hardships Richelle has experienced as a mother and the effort and struggles she has gone through in the past few years for the children, his role as a father, really had done nothing and had been reaping benefits.
Richelle shook her head, “I’m just an ordinary mother. All I want is for the children to grow up happy and healthy.”
Roy Lewis raised his hand, touching her face, gazing into her eyes with sincerity and determination.
“Rest assured, from now on, I will try my best to make you and the children happy and content.”
Although Richelle said she needed more time to think, she was not heartless, nor was she blind. She could see what he had done for her and the children, and she could feel his sincere intentions.
“Alright, get some sleep. You said you haven’t been sleeping well these days?”
Her attitude had significantly softened and changed.
Roy Lewis was secretly delighted but didn’t dare to show it too obviously.
And indeed, the energy he had been barely holding onto was now almost exhausted.
“We agreed that later on, I’ll stay and take care of the children.”
Richelle, seeing him looking sleepy while still thinking about staying to take care of the children, couldn’t help but feel both amused and annoyed.
“Fine, I remember. I welcome a free nanny, of course.”
With her promise, Roy Lewis finally closed his eyes with ease.
After giving him his injection, Richelle took her laptop, sat at the small table, and busied herself with her own affairs.
The big spender had asked her about her progress the night before, but she had recently hit a stumbling block and was making slow progress.
Furthermore, this big spender didn’t seem to know what kind of medicine he was taking lately.
He always tried to probe her identity intentionally or unintentionally, but fortunately, based on her previous conversations with him, the spender could probably guess that Denise Munni was the culprit.
So, the chances of her being exposed were not high.
Moreover, she had made up her mind that once the mission at The Thompsons was finished, she would no longer trade with this big spender. If she had to, she would destroy this account and create a new one.
Thinking this way, Richelle sent the information she had gathered over the past few days to the big spender in a compressed format.
After finishing these tasks and checking the time, she was just in time to remove the needle for Roy Lewis.
After removing the needle, Richelle stood by the bed, carefully examining Roy Lewis’s sleeping face.
Roy Lewis had extremely thick eyebrows, and his facial features were excellent. Even with his eyes closed, one could see his deep and handsome, captivating contours.
His eyelashes were long and dense, like two small fans, covering the very dark circles under his eyes.
Richelle’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little pity, but soon, she thought of his hateful face that day and pinched his face while murmuring.
“Serves you right!”
Roy Lewis slept soundly, naturally unaware of being scolded in his sleep.
When he woke up, the long-lost feeling of mental refreshment finally returned!
He got up in a great mood, stretched, pushed open the bathroom door, and found his favorite brand of razor, in addition to the toothbrush and towel.
No matter how bad or sarcastic Richelle’s mouth was, she always took care of everything with a hundred percent care and thoughtfulness.
No wonder, Timmy, that little stinker, had chosen to side with her wholeheartedly soon after recognizing his mommy!
As Roy Lewis shaved in front of the mirror, he thought about the children and Richelle. As he thought about it, he began to smile.
When he realized he was smiling at his own reflection in the mirror, he couldn’t help but slap his forehead and call himself an “idiot!”
Wasn’t he an idiot? He never used to smile at himself stupidly like he was doing now!
Roy Lewis’s personality had always been calm and well-reserved.
Yet, at this moment, he even felt an impulse to hum a tune.
Feeling the pleasant mood, Roy Lewis went downstairs and immediately saw the three children sitting around Richelle. The mother and her children, with their heads touching, were playing chess together.
The mother and children were so focused on their game that they didn’t even notice him coming down the stairs.
It wasn’t until he went to the kitchen to wash some fruits and placed them in front of the mother and children that they finally looked up and greeted him with a smile, “Daddy/Uncle!”
Richelle looked at him carefully, noticing the dark shadows under his eyes had lightened a bit, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.
She stuffed Tiffany into Roy Lewis’s arms, “You play with them, it’s time for me to leave.”
Roy Lewis checked the time, and it was almost three o’clock.
“If you’re in a hurry, you could have woken me up.”
How could Richelle bear to wake him up? Besides, she and her mentor hadn’t set a specific time, just that they would meet at the lab.
“No rush. If you have any questions later, you can ask Timothy. If you want to order some afternoon tea, you can ask Timothy to order a takeout.”
Timothy, in this family, took on the role of a little housekeeper.
Other than not being able to cook, he could handle pretty much everything else.
Roy Lewis nodded in agreement. As she was about to get up, he pulled her arm and leaned his face closer, giving her a peck on the cheek.
“Take care on the way!”
The children, witnessing their mommy and daddy being affectionate in front of them for the first time, had their mouths open in an ‘O’ shape.
Then, the children all squinted their smiling eyes, silently glancing at Richelle and then at Roy Lewis.
Richelle immediately blushed, and, in front of the children, couldn’t bring herself to scold him. She had no choice but to glare at him once and then rush upstairs to change.
She was halfway up the stairs when she heard her beloved daughter whisper to her daddy, “Daddy, have you made mommy happy?”
Roy Lewis, with a smile, replied to her, “Not yet, but daddy will keep trying!”
Her little girl had always favored her daddy, so she said, “Go for it! I believe in you!”
Richelle clicked her tongue, feeling a little jealous.
Fortunately, Timothy soon said, “Uncle, my sister may believe in you, but I believe in Uncle Kendrick! Anyway, I don’t care who my real daddy is. Whoever treats mommy well is my real daddy!”
Previously, Timothy, who appeared cheerful and sensible in front of Roy Lewis, had become a prickly little troublemaker for him these past few days.
Upon hearing her second son’s words, Richelle couldn’t help but gloat in her heart.
It seemed that, in the future, if there were any family conflicts, she would definitely have an upper hand over Roy Lewis.
After all, she had Timothy and Timmy as her little knights!
As for Roy Lewis, he had only Tiffany, that stinky girl!
Heh, two against one, an absolute victory!
