Chapter 330 - 330: 326: The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks, the happier she gets
He knew that Sonia Seaton and Richelle Dunn were as close as a mother and daughter.
They both recognized and accepted this relationship.
So, Sonia Seaton had been hostile towards him from the very beginning.
There’s a saying that mothers-in-law come to adore their sons-in-law more and more as they get to know them better.
But he didn’t know where he had gone wrong with Sonia Seaton. Every time he bumped into her suddenly like just now, she always showed signs of dissatisfaction.
Roy Lewis had never been afraid of anything since he was a child until he encountered Richelle. But after meeting her, it seemed that he had a lot more people to be afraid of all at once.
Only after he had thoroughly explained himself did Sonia Seaton’s expression improve somewhat. She turned her attention back to Richelle and they started discussing project issues.
Roy Lewis, listening to the barrage of professional terms they used, felt as if he was listening to a foreign language.
However, he had no intention of leaving. He just held his phone and continued to do his own thing.
Even though he knew Sonia Seaton disliked him, there were certain things he couldn’t retreat from.
Once Richelle Dunn and Sonia Seaton finished their phone call, Richelle turned and gently stroked his face.
“Roy Lewis, my mentor is like that. She wears her heart on her sleeve, don’t take it to heart. She initially couldn’t accept the situation, but actually, she really admires and likes you.”
Roy Lewis pulled her hand to his lips and gave it a kiss. Laughing, he replied, “Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile! Plus, I can understand her hostility towards me. After all, if it weren’t for me that night, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much afterwards.”
Richelle thought he was being overly sensitive, “Have you ever thought that, if it wasn’t you that night, it might have been some fat, old pervert? As we know Jayden Dunn and his wife, even if their target wasn’t you, they would have taken this step. Because only by doing so could they maximize my usefulness.” Richelle’s assumption caused Roy’s brow to furrow.
Even the mere assumption made him uncomfortable.
He reached out and gently held her in his arms.
“Sweetie, there are no ifs!”
Richelle lifted her gaze to his from his embrace, and seeing his furrowed brow, she gently smoothed it out with her hand.
“Yes, I know, we are destined to be together!”
Only then was Roy satisfied, but he remained with his arms around her, reluctant to let go.
“Are you done?”
Richelle shook her head, “No, I just finished communicating with my mentor, I still need to do some final touches.”
Roy had no choice but to let her go.
Richelle turned back to her work, telling him,
“It’s late, you should go to bed.”
Roy did not respond to her and just sat quietly behind her, doing his stuff.
About ten minutes later, Richelle finally managed to gather the data, saved it onto a disk and sent a copy to Sonia Seaton’s email.
After finishing all this, she happily closed the laptop, raising her hand and stretching.
“Done?”
Richelle was startled by the sudden question and turned quickly to glare at him.
“I thought you had gone to bed!”
The experimental data required complete focus to process correctly, so Richelle was completely unaware that Roy Lewis was still sitting behind her. As a result, she naturally assumed he had already gone to bed.
Roy ignored her reaction and asked again, “Done?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, finally done and now I can take a break for two days.”
Just as she said this, she realized she might have spoken too soon.
The big sponsor hadn’t made any moves for a few days, and he might just drop a big task on her in the next couple of days. If that were the case, she’d be even busier!
Roy just hummed in response, bent down, placed one hand on her back and another beneath her knees, and scooped her up into his arms.
Richelle instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, “What are you doing?”
“Going to bed in my room!”
“Why?”
Richelle was surprised because this was the first time since she moved in that he had insisted on her sleeping in his room.
Roy did not reply to her, and instead briskly walked towards the door with her in his arms.
Richelle assumed he must be in mood again.
She gently punched his shoulder and tried to negotiate in a soft voice.
“Roy Lewis, I’m tired. I want a good night’s sleep tonight…”
They were still in their honeymoon period, and Roy was a mature man who had recently had his first taste of romance, so his desires were understandable.
But she was truly exhausted that day, and she really couldn’t handle it!
“Hmm!”
Roy agreed readily, but didn’t slow his stride. In the middle of their conversation, he had already carried her to the door.
Richelle became annoyed. This man said one thing but his actions spoke differently!
“Then put me down!”
Roy lowered his head slightly and rubbed her face with his chin.
“Behave, sleep in my room. I won’t trouble you!”
Fearing that she might not believe him, Roy added, “You prescribed the medication yourself, so you know best about its effects. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.”
Richelle had indeed forgotten this fact.
“Well, in that case, I’ll sleep in my own room instead. It’s more comfortable for both of us.”
But Roy said, “No, I feel more at ease with you by my side.”
In reality, after reading the literature about menstrual cycles, Roy was concerned about Richelle feeling uncomfortable, so he insisted on carrying her back to his room to sleep..
