Translator: 549690339 |
Richelle Dunn rarely visited forums, to be more precise, she hardly ever set foot in those online places filled with gossip and arguments.
So, she only found out about the news from Nathan Caroule two days after the post had gone viral and caused a sensation on the Abbey University forum.
Although Timothy and Tifanny were just kids, their array of interests was extensive, and they were always busy with one thing or another.
Therefore, they were also unlikely to visit such boring places as forums.
After they listened to Nathan’s report to their Dad and Mommy, the brothers simultaneously told their parents.
“Dad, Mommy, let us handle this.”
The brothers shared a knowing smile after speaking in unison.
Roy Lewis looked at the two of them, “Who will take care of it? The elder brother or the younger one?”
The brothers grinned and spoke in unison once again.
“Together!”
Roy Lewis glanced at Richelle, leaving the decision to her.
“Alright, you two go investigate first. Before you take action, discuss your plans with us.”
Roy Lewis knew that Timmy had some talent in computer-related matters, and it seemed that Timothy had some as well.
However, he had never known their level of expertise and had never probed their abilities.
So, he warned them.
“Yes, if you don’t understand anything, ask Mommy.”
Richelle wanted to remind her careless husband that for their sons, snooping around in a forum was an underutilization of their abilities.
But after giving it some thought, she decided that letting them discover things on their own was more interesting.
Richelle gave Timmy and Timothy a wink, “Sweethearts, Mommy believes in you.”
After handing the matter over to her sons, Richelle didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
That’s because, over the past few days, she had been busy assisting her mysterious wealthy employer in locating the possible new trade routes Mason Lilliput might choose.
The workload was actually enormous.
Many secret water routes were unknown even to the Federation government. Even among the local populace, only one or two influential people might know about them, and they wouldn’t spread the word.
Therefore, Richelle had gone through almost all historical records of major and minor events from the past few hundred years in the Federation.
Finally, she had managed to filter out three areas similar to where she was “kidnapped” that time.
She sent this information to her wealthy employer, and soon, her hidden account received the promised reward, as well as an additional ten percent bonus for her hard work.
Richelle typed in the chat box, “Thank you, mysterious employer!”
The employer responded quickly.
“Hmm, go buy some candy with it!”
Seeing the serious reply, Richelle chuckled out loud.
If she really used such a large sum of money to buy candy, she might not even be able to eat one ten-thousandth of it before she was sick of it.
However, since the mysterious employer said he gave her the money to buy candy,
she genuinely placed a bunch of orders online.
At noon, right after lunch, Parker brought in a box filled with cartoon drawings and brimming with childlike innocence.
Tifanny immediately ran over.
“Uncle Caroule, what is this? It’s so cute!””
At this point, Richelle and Roy Lewis were sitting on the couch and a wheelchair, respectively, looking at documents.
Meanwhile, Timmy and Timothy were in the middle of an intense chess game. Roy Lewis’s inquisitive gaze shifted from the box back to Richelle, and he looked at her with a half-smile.
Richelle smiled back at him and then addressed their three children. “Sweethearts, Mommy’s boss asked me to treat everyone to candy!” All three kids were about to shed their baby teeth, and Richelle had become increasingly strict with their candy intake.
Now that they heard they would get candy, even the usually composed Timmy looked at Timothy and said, “Little brother, shall we take a break and eat some candy before we continue?”
Timothy nodded eagerly, barely able to contain his excitement.
Soon, the three children snatched the box from Parker’s hands. They placed the box on the coffee table and circled around it, their little butts swaying joyously. Clearly, they were in high spirits!
Roy Lewis’s eyes glinted with humor, and he cast a sidelong glance at Richelle. “Is your boss treating your children to candy or treating you to candy?” Richelle looked him straight in the eye with a smile, “Is there a difference?” Roy Lewis nodded, “Of course there is!”
Richelle didn’t expect the mysterious employer to care about such trivial matters and asked, “What’s the difference?”
Roy Lewis suddenly became serious, “The difference is literal. You are you, and the children are the children!”
Richelle couldn’t figure out why Roy Lewis, who usually doted on the kids, was suddenly nitpicking over this detail.
However, after being together for a while, she gradually understood. Men, at any age, would occasionally act as childish as three-year-olds. Perhaps, now was precisely one of those times for Roy Lewis. “Well, that sum of money is enough for me to eat candy for several lifetimes.
So, sharing just a little bit with the children isn’t excessive, right? Richelle’s remark returned Roy Lewis’s expression to normal.
“Hmm, not excessive…”
Richelle could sense that he was still not fully satisfied.
So, she pretended to consider it for a moment before turning her head to ask. ■■Roy Lewis, do you think my boss will be unhappy if I use this money to buy a car I like?”
Roy Lewis’s lips curled into a slight smile, “He probably wouldn’t be….””
