Chapter 566 - 562: Smooth-talking Master Lewis
Richelle Dunn rolled her eyes.
“Am I not doing this out of kindness? How did it become my fault?”
Roy Lewis made a sound of acknowledgment, “I know you mean well, but I don’t like the term ’empty nesters’.”
Richelle pointed at the kids, “Fine, then why don’t you go talk to these little brats and ask them to come up with some nicer terms for you?”
Richelle pushed Roy towards the terrace, “Babies, your daddy doesn’t like the term ’empty nester.’ Come up with some nicer ones for him.”
Tifanny was the first to raise her hand, “A handsome and dashing daddy.”
Timmy also chimed in, “A humorous and funny daddy!”
Timothy laughed, “An amiable and friendly daddy.”
“Baby, except for Tifanny’s suggestion, which is fairly apt, Timmy and
Timothy’s are completely irrelevant.”
Roy turned to give Richelle a stare.
“How are they irrelevant? Am I not humorous or amiable?”
Richelle winked at him, “Alright, Master Lewis, you are handsome and dashing, humorous and funny, and amiable and friendly. Is that good enough for you?”
Roy made a sound of agreement, “That seems more like it…”
Timothy wordlessly opened his arms, reminding his parents.
“Daddy and mommy, if you two want to show your affection, just show it directly. There’s no need to take a detour.”
Timmy nodded in agreement as well.
“Yeah, after all, we’re used to it by now!”
Richelle bent down and patted their heads.
“Alright, you guys hurry up and take a bath. Go to bed early tonight, so we can go catch the tide early tomorrow morning.”
The three kids immediately got up and went to take a shower when they heard they would be going out early tomorrow.
“So you’ll be alone at home tomorrow?”
Roy nodded, “Actually, I won’t be bored by myself. I’m just worried the kids might be, so after some thought, I decided this place was the most suitable.”
Richelle then remembered the question she had wanted to ask earlier.
“This beach, it’s not yours as well, is it?”
Roy repeated the same line as before, “Wrong, it’s ours!”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “The wicked rich.”
With the kids off to take a shower, Roy held Richelle as they faced the sea.
“I built a row of holiday villas here, intending to use them for a resort in the future. But for now, the approval hasn’t come through, so it’s just our family in the entire resort village.”
Richelle had more or less guessed that, otherwise, someone as cautious as Roy Lewis would never appear in a public place.
“However, to be on the safe side, I’ll just stay in the house these next two days. If you guys want to do anything, just tell the bodyguards, and they will make arrangements.”
Richelle knew that for Roy, vacationing was nothing more than working in a different location.
“Mm, so we’ll go catch the tide early tomorrow and collect the seafood for lunch.”
Roy didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm, “Alright, we’ll have the seafood you guys catch tomorrow.”
However, since he had planned to come here, he had already prepared a full refrigerator of food and supplies. It was enough not only for two or three days but even a week.
Richelle stretched lazily, “I have to say, this place is really comfortable.”
Roy pinched her waist, “Aren’t I the wicked rich now?”
Richelle shook her head, “Of course not! It’s great to have money!”
However, she also knew that these villas were probably unavailable for purchase, even if one had the money.
“Roy, is this villa the one with the best view in the entire resort?”
Roy nodded, “Of course, it’s for my wife and children, so naturally, it has to be the best.”
Richelle tapped his head, “Actually, the kids missed the most fitting term earlier!”
Roy was puzzled, “Which term?”
“Smooth talker!”
Roy held her hand and kissed the back of it with utmost sincerity.
“That’s not smooth talking, that’s sweet talk.”
Richelle scoffed, “What’s the difference?”
Roy replied, “Of course there’s a difference! Smooth talking is for deceiving people with malicious intentions. Sweet talk is for making a wife happy – it’s a precondition for family harmony.”
Richelle tilted her head, “So as long as I’m happy, the family will be harmonious and everyone will be happy?”
Roy nodded, “Exactly!”
“Okay, then remember to pamper me every day from now on. If I’m not happy, I’ll cause a scene!”
Roy raised his hand in salute, “Yes, ma’am!”
Richelle spoke resignedly, “Actually, you’re not just a smooth talker, but also a silver-tongued flatterer!”
Saying this, she pushed him towards the kids’ bedroom.
“Whether it’s smooth talking or silver-tongued flattery, I don’t admit to either. I only admit to sweet talk!”
Roy seemed to be challenging Richelle.
Richelle didn’t care to argue with him anymore. Entering the bedroom, she saw the children pulling snacks from their little backpacks.
Richelle clicked her tongue, “Babies, are you hungry?”
The three little ones immediately looked at her pitifully.
“Mommy, we’re hungry.”
It had to be said that children had strong digestion.
Richelle had just eaten a piece of cake and a chicken leg not too long ago, and she was still fairly full.
She looked down at Roy, “What about you?”
Roy usually worked late and would eat some snacks at night.
He nodded earnestly.
“I’m a bit hungry too!”
So Richelle turned around, “Okay, then I’ll go make some noodles for you..”
