Chapter 460 - 456 Distance Makes Beauty
After putting the children to bed, Richelle Dunn tried calling Roy Lewis again.
Still, the line was busy.
Later on, Nathan Caroule sent her a video of Roy Lewis.
In the video, Roy sat cross-legged on the hotel bed, reassuring her.
“Richelle, I’m fine here, it’s just that the internet connection keeps getting cut off. Don’t worry, I’ll finish everything here as soon as possible. I love you, miss you guys, goodnight.”
Perhaps worrying about the length of the video, it was only about forty seconds long.
Richelle forwarded the goodnight video of herself and the children to Roy through Nathan. She didn’t ask how Nathan sent the video to Roy.
She knew Roy too well. If it was something she could know, he would tell her.
And if it was something she couldn’t know, she wouldn’t ask.
After chatting with Nathan, Richelle still had some time, so she logged onto the secret system to see if her benefactor had any new instructions.
Since the last time she accidentally obtained and sent that package of information to him, he had let her suspend any other collection.
The benefactor never appeared again.
So, was the mission completed?
Before, Richelle was really busy, logging on daily to see if there were any new messages or instructions before moving on to the next thing.
But today, she was relatively free, so, she sent a message over.
“Benefactor, do we continue with the original mission?”
There was no response for a long time after sending the message.
Even when she finished helping her teacher organize a pile of data and was about to go to sleep, there was still no reply.
Richelle didn’t pay too much attention, she just turned off the computer and went to bed.
The next morning, Nathan sent another video.
This time, the video was taken under a large, unremarkable tree.
Roy was wearing casual clothes and seemed in good spirits. Even though it was the same person, Roy on the screen looked extra handsome to Richelle!
Perhaps, this was what they called love from a distance.
“Richelle, everything is going well here, don’t worry. Taking care of the kids and things at home is tiring, so please take care of yourself. I love you! I also love our three little treasures!”
The video was still very short, but compared to the complete lack of communication when Richelle went on a mission, this delayed video call was a great happiness.
Richelle showed the video to the children and, like last night, filmed a video with the children for Roy to forward to Nathan.
It happened to be Saturday, and Richelle wondered if she should go camping like she usually did when Roy was at home.
Then Uncle Axel came to report that Mrs. Green had arrived.
Richelle took the kids to greet her.
Jasmine Leith had brought several big bags of things. Seeing the mother and children, she quickly put the bags down and happily hugged the little ones, kissing them one after another.
Richelle picked up the bags and led the way inside.
“Auntie, what brings you here?”
Jasmine escorted the children into the room, “I heard from Nathan that Roy is away for a week, and I thought you might be tired taking care of the kids alone. I had some free time these days, so I thought I’d come and stay for a couple of days to help you out.”
Richelle smiled and replied, “Thankyou, Auntie!”
But in reality, the children had always been very independent, and there were also maids and servants at home.
Taking care of the three children was a breeze for Richelle.
However, Richelle couldn’t bear to refuse Jasmine’s kind offer, so she quickly asked Uncle Axel to prepare the guest room. Then she learned that Jasmine had hurried over without even eating breakfast, so Richelle personally cooked a bowl of noodles for her.
Jasmine ate the noodles in the living room, praising Richelle’s cooking skills.
“It’s a pity that Mr. Green didn’t have time to eat these delicious noodles.”
“Does Uncle like noodles too?”
“Yes, he likes noodles more than rice!”
Richelle laughed, “It is said that nephews follow their uncles. It seems there is some truth to that, as Roy also loves noodles.”
Since Jasmine came, Richelle changed the plan of going camping to a camping BBQbuffet in the yard.
The children ran and played in the garden, while Richelle and Jasmine sat in the pavilion, chatting, sipping tea, and eating snacks. It was quite pleasing.
“I heard from Roy that you haven’t graduated from design college yet?”
In fact, Richelle had earned enough credits. If it weren’t for Jayden Dunn’s family plotting against her, she could have graduated smoothly in a few months.
However, all of that was unimportant now.
“Yes, although I had enough credits, I disappeared after the accident and naturally couldn’t get a diploma. But it doesn’t matter now, as my main job is not as a designer.”
The design of the Lewis mansion reignited Richelle’s passion and love for design from her younger days.
But ultimately, that was a youthful ideal. Now, she probably preferred being a doctor.
So, in the future, she might occasionally take on design projects when the mood strikes her.
But her main profession would definitely be a doctor.
Jasmine didn’t agree with her, “That’s not the right way to think about it. After all, you worked hard during those years. Since you had enough credits at the time, and you didn’t miss the rest of your studies for subjective reasons, I think you can apply for a replacement diploma.”
