Chapter 417 - 413: A New Beginning for the Children
After returning from the gathering at the Lewis’ Village, Richelie Dunn had become even busier than before.
Roy Lewis felt quite sorry for her and also for himself.
He felt sorry for her since she was already busy enough, and now there was an extra task added to her plate.
He felt sorry for himself because she already didn’t have much time to spend with him, and now, she had even less time.
However, instead of pitying her, he was actually happier for her.
Richelle had always been a very determined person. When she chose her major back then, it was obviously something she loved.
If it weren’t for being forced to change her life direction later on, she would probably already be a very accomplished designer by now.
When she said he needed to think about it, he naturally knew what she wanted him to think about.
She had been away from her beloved industry for a few years, and she had already lost some of the vigour and courage she had as a rookie.
He knew that the mansion was important to him, but he also knew that helping her regain her confidence was even more important.
Due to the unexpected acquisition of information that day, her benefactor said that the preliminary task could be temporarily terminated, and they would contact her if there were any new developments.
As luck would have it, it freed up some of her time, allowing her to pick up her old profession and hobby again.
In order to help her concentrate on her studies, Roy quickly set up a room next to his study as her personal study space.
Richelle brought back a large stack of professional books and began to study them with great effort.
A week after the accident, the three siblings finally received the official start of school notification from the school.
On the first day of class, Roy Lewis, Richelle Dunn, and the old man personally sent the three kids to the school gate.
The Junior Academy did not have a separate school but chose a small teaching building within Abbey University as the learning place for this class of elementary school students.
The three little ones wore school uniforms with the Abbey University emblem, and carrying the school’s designated backpacks. As soon as they got out of the car, they attracted the attention of passers-by.
Roy had the three kids stand at the school gate for a group photo and then asked Parker to take a few photos of all six.
Soon, several group photos appeared on Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis’s WhatsApp Status, but all the faces were blurred.
“A new beginning!”
When the three children arrived at their new class, the teacher and classmates gathered around to show their concern for Timmy’s recovery before the start of class.
Richelle had anticipated this and had prepared individually wrapped candies and snacks for the siblings to give to the teachers and classmates as a token of appreciation.
These candies and snacks quickly warmed up the classmates who were initially distant from the siblings.
The thirty classmates were between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.
As for the 5-year-olds, there were only the three siblings.
So, in terms of age, the three siblings were considered the younger brothers and sisters of the entire class.
However, in terms of overall performance and independence, the three siblings ranked at the top of the class.
Especially after a few days of summer camp training, the siblings quickly consolidated their leading position in the class.
When they chose the class president, it was no surprise that Timmy became the class president and Timothy the vice-president.
As for Tifanny, she was appointed the Cultural and Entertainment Commissioner.
In the afternoon, Roy, who left work early on purpose, came to pick up the siblings, and they instantly transformed from being the responsible siblings they were in school to chattering around Roy, sharing the interesting events of the first day of school.
“How was it, isn’t school more enjoyable than you thought?”
Due to Timmy’s unpleasant experience in kindergarten, he was subconsciously resistant to going to school, but Timothy and Tifanny had never been to school and were full of curiosity and longing for it.
The main reason was that Timmy wanted to come to school with his younger brother and sister.
However, after the first day of teaching, it seemed that even Timmy had revised his perception of his past school experience.
“It was ok…”
Tifanny was still being held by her father as usual. “Daddy, we’re so awesome that we got unanimous votes from the whole class!”
Roy had no idea that his children had been elected as class officers. “Oh? What positions did you guys get elected for?”
“Big brother is the class president, brother is the vice-president, and I am the Cultural and Entertainment Commissioner, as well as the representative for Music and Art.”
To Roy, these achievements were, of course, trivial.
However, he happily said, “Wow, our baby is amazing! How about we go out for a big meal tonight to celebrate?”
Tifanny clapped and cheered, “Yes, yes!”
“What do you want to eat? Fried chicken?”
As soon as Roy said that, Tifanny stopped laughing and pouted her lips in disapproval.
“I’m never eating fried chicken again!”
It turned out that the little girl was still feeling guilty about Timmy’s accident.
She always believed that if she hadn’t asked for fried chicken that day, her big brother wouldn’t have been in trouble.
The psychologist had talked to her about it, but she still seemed to be steadfast in her belief.
The psychologist advised Roy and Richelle to give Tifanny some time, and she would most likely forget and let go of it in a while.
Timmy looked up at Tifanny with some concern. “Little sister, it was my own carelessness that day, and it had nothing to do with you wanting to eat fried chicken..”
